MONKEYTAIL

Liz Phair's new cd comes out in October. I'm trying to earn enough points to win a cd single or poster at

SOMEDEEPMYSTERY

I totally got her. It took awhile but my sister is on the wagon...or... coatails maybe? Anyhow, She was Ok with Firefly after the first disk, then I finally wrangled her over to watch Shindig and she stayed right on through to Jaynestown :) He first Laugh Out Loud moment was Jayne tossing all Simon's stuff back in his room in Safe and then trying to walk casually away. That was a good sound. Then later when our plans to see a movie fell through she said "or you could just come over and we can watch more Firefly... Yes!

SIGMANUNKI

So, it's about noon here right now and I'm in a fog because I stayed up last night till 3:30 porting apps to OpenBSD. This always happens. Every night, I stay up way too late (damn I wish I could've found a job for the summer) working on whatever shiny object has caught my attention. And then for the better part of the next day, I'm in a fog; can't get anything done. I'm really going to have to change this before next academic year. Otherwise, I'm going to screw myself.

CHRONICTHEHEDGEHOG

I was at the pub last night, it was karaoke night and always game for a laugh I was searching the book to find something to sing and at the end I come across crazy frog karaoke! How is this possible? How did society fail to foresee Jamster becoming what they have and stop their existence? There are t-shirts for all the characters, a computer game coming out and now they have an advert admitting their ring tones are annoying and trying to get you to buy them to annoy your friends! Every society falls eventually, and I'm starting to believe it always starts with companies like Jamster. Down with the Internet! Down with Jamster! Down with conformity! Down with pants!

SHINYHAPPYKLIN

(Insert appropriate Mandarin curse here) Still had a little weirdness going on post cardiac cath/stents 2 months ago, so I had a stress test. I was really hoping it was just going to prove that I really am a hypochondriac, and all was ok...no such luck. Still showing an area of blockage, and it was less than before, but still "significant" (whatever the hell that means). I was really, really imagining this was going to involve having a bypass this time, but doc recommended another catheterization. Well, I guess that's better than the dreaded "B" word, but still a piece of go se. The worst part is the giant C-clamp they use on your leg afterward for about half and hour...hurts like a bitch and made me start to pass out last time. And then not being able to sit up for several hours. Makes peeing very hard....:wink: I'll be off work for a week because of driving restrictions, so at least I can hopefully work on some D*C costuming stuff while I'm stuck here, but that means I need to pull it all out of the boxes tomorrow and do the shopping I need, since I can't lift either. What a PITA....sorry to vent, but I'm just too gorram young for this, and can't figure out how it got so bad so fast. Especially when I had really been taking care of myself lately! Oh, well, I should be able to make D*C, and that's what matters right now....Maybe won't be as buff and organizized as I was hoping to be by then, but at least I'll make it....And I'll still be on this side of the dirt, and that's a good thing too.
