HUGS Kelkhil... I have great sympathy sweety... I am sooo looking forward to not making the 120 miles a day trek in to work.... long commutes are the WORST

OLD thread is here

Figured as I was last out I'd close the door:)
Also am still quite grumpy( which is odd as I am never grumpy)

*offers a Dark Side cookie to MsA* It's good for what angers you. ^^

Took in another kitten for my best friend till she get's her own place. He's a cutie, but man does he hate my other cats. He growls at the floor and walls and furniture, he growls while he eats (which sounds hilarious), he growls while he's in the cat box (also hilarious). But he luvs people. Such a weird one.

Heh, certainly would fit him. He actually just nipped at my nose, I gave him a good swat. I think since he's 'bout 6 months and was abandoned he might be a lil wild still. I hope he doesn't turn into a biter.

hey all,

My other half won't turn of Highschool musical, does it count as spousal abuse, I mean she knows it's shit and is just doing it to wind me up.

Long day, works sucky but tomorrow is last day of week, have Friday off for revision.

Feel your pain Kel, hope it clears up soon.

I'm slightly weirded out by a grumpy MsA, what else did I miss in the last thread since yesterday?

Wednesday, October 7, 2009 9:31 PM

Yes ...playing High School Musical is both abusive and destructive to your mental faculties... get back at her by playing Brittney Spears on low while she sleeps so she wakes up singing Brittney songs

I'm avoiding students right now... too grumpy to help. Mostly I just want to smoosh or smash things.

High School Musical is very annoying.... Heard it in the background a few times as Rose's (at the time) 10 year old granddaughter loved the movie.

And there's a Browncoat connection too...

Zac Effron played young Simon on Firefly.

Ha. I remember recognizing Young Simon in the first High School Musical movie poster and thinking, "I know that face from somewhere........." Sorry that ruined him for ya :\

As for Hugo Weaving, yeah, he's not hot, but I think his voice fits the role perfectly, IMHO. Do you still like the movie as a whole, regardless of the lack of hotness, lol?

It did! It's a long story, and I'm happy to explain it. I've just been so busy with work and now with cleaning (family is traveling over from WI), I haven't had the proper time to type it all out for you. =(

Summary: AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Advice: When dealing with Those People, especially That Person in particular, insist on a nice sized, non-refundable, cash deposit up front. If they follow through, that deposit can go to the final cost. >:(

Anyhoo, as soon as the family leaves (later this weekend), I'll let you know the details, if you're still interested. ^^

(Slinks in in shame. Sits on a stool at the bar. Puts head down on bar and orders something stiff.)

I *almost* made it to my 38th birthday karaoke free.

When your sister and your mother are in town and they drag you out to a karaoke bar and inform you that you are NOT leaving without singing, and you won't be seeing your sister for a year AGAIN, and your mother gives you THE LOOK... what else can you do?

(2am Breathe by Anna Nalick for those who insist on the gory details. I could not hear myself at all and can only hope I was on key for most of it.)

Then it got louder. I had to plug my ears because it was causing actual pain. (Sober by Tool?) I could still hear it just fine and was enjoying it once my eardrums stopped threatening to bleed out.

So now it's 12:06 and I'm still wired from the coffee at dinner six hours ago.

"2am and I'm still awake writing this post, got to get it all down before I turn to toast.."

I'm just used to doing it in the privacy of my own campfire or living room, or onstage with a sound system which allows you to actually hear your own voice to check for tone and tempo.. that wee teleprompter is weird.

Also, I don't think I was drunk enough to enjoy it. There were several people there from a group home (I'm assuming) two of which got up, and while the quality of the performance may have left a little to be desired in the accuracy department I enjoyed their performances better than most of the drunk people getting up and singing 80s heavy metal. (My sister's Guns N Roses rendition not included. She was having fun and actually made it through the song without major error.)

One woman jumped off the foot-high stage then did a sprawling face plant on the dance floor. She got up and kept working the crowd, so she was either fine or she was so drunk she didn't feel it. I'm not sure she noticed, really.

I am not opposed to the principle of singing to canned music in public. It's the really bad singing by sloshed people I have trouble with. There were a few people who were actually quite good. It's still just not my scene. I went to spend time with my family, and I sang to make them happy.

NICODEMUS

Saturday, October 10, 2009 1:14 PM

I don't sing in public because I know how bad I sound and don't want to subject others to it. I'll leave the 'I refuse to accept how untalented I am' mindset to many of those auditioning for (insert name of country here) Idol.

Oh yeah, and I just finished a work week that contained more extra/double shifts than I'd prefer to acknowledge. While I think I could manage the occasional repeat (especially for the financial aid making February's trip last longer, and possibly be more comfy in terms of upgraded seats for the 14ish hr hop between SYD and LAX), my knee's are providing a loud and obvious rebuttal.

Hey all,

long couple of days, lots going on and should be revising but doing other stuff instead, gah, still can sneak in some more once have washing up out of way and shall Iron to strictly tonight.

How we all doing?

I shall catch up when this exam madness is over, hope everyone is doing well, that MsA is enjoying her maternity leave (if I have my dates right)!

I NEVER do kareoke on the grounds that as I'm a competent musician, I know my limitations and while I'm ok doing studio backing vocals and have sung lead on occasion from behind a drum kit, that was years ago in dire need and people don't want to hear me sing, trust me on this!

I'm sure SR mentioned Sober by Tool, which gets her major kudos in my books if my memory is not playing tricks with me!

Sitting here taking pain meds and muscle relaxers to treat my self induced case of whiplash.

Since I was flagging where I had a visual on my partner, instead of using the radio we just used hand and head signals. A very exaggerated head nod while wearing a hard hat led to giving myself a case of whiplash over a six hour shift in the road.

Got home and I couldn't move my head. Taking good drugs at the moment so I'm feeling fine. Should be better by Monday so I can go to work. Gonna used the radio from now on though.

I have to be able to hear through a stethoscope by Monday morning, and loud cars are yet another "not my thing", so I decided to opt out and spend the day relaxing (OMG!!) and doing minimal studying/housework.

Doctroid is playing Fantastic Contraption right now, but it must be a new edition because it's practically 3D.

Correction: it's not Fantastic Contraption it's "World of Goo" or something like that which is basically the same thing except you have to build things using goo balls.

Sister's working with the Dept of Ag, so she's technically an attache with the State Department. She jokes that she's a "wheat spy". She's actually responsible for reporting on wheat and other small grains and legumes. I think it's a bad year for wheat but a good one for lentils there?

Both the menfolk have decided to be Jedi this Halloween. I have pants and a robe for Doctroid, still have to get boychild's attire set up and make the tunics and obi and tabards and...Oy. They can just wear their darned rain boots or something. I am NOT doing any leatherwork or cobbling. There is no time. (I'm also running out of neutral colored fabric and may have to make a run for more.)
Also.. I might have to do some really good research and make one properly at some point. So far I've just checked out Wookiepedia (Wikipedia for all things StarWars).

I lurves mah fellow geeks!

The cousins are here and playing Wiigolf. They just had a Wiibowling tournament. Noisy boys in the house!

I think I'm gonna have to do the hardest thing... tell my best friend we can't take care of her kitten for her. :( She's gonna have to find a home for him or take him in at her house. He's so sweet to us, but he beats up on my kitten and is teaching him to be rough. My other 2 cats can take care of themselves, but there is just so much hissing and growling and scratching. I have to keep the kitten cooped up in a room all the time and he just cries and cries till I come in there. Can't give him to the Humane Society cuz they are over run with cats and kittens and said they'd prolly put him down within a day. This is breakin' my heart. :(

Update: My best bud found the kitten a home! She said it was so weird, she had just left my house after a visit with the lil guy, took the news quite well. Then she got a call from someone she knew that was interested and she's picking him up tomorrow! Such a relief. ^^ Now all is well in Roxy's household.

Snow??? Why are you people gettin' snow so soon? Craziness! Don't send it my way yet. I'm not ready!

HK, you will be super ultra disappointed.. boychild specified Luke Skywalker. (LAWFUL GOOD!! CRAP!!)

OTOH it's that much further to go if he gives in and wants the black robes.. so more the victory if he converts for y.. um the Sith.

(Hey, jedi way is all well and good but I want grandkids some day dammit!)

I read on Wookiepedia that there was apparently a sect of Jedi who did not actually work within the establishment, or force enhanced people who weren't exactly jedi..?

"Master This, Yoda.."

Not a bad day at work today. Tomorrow's going to be rather touch and go, as we have all available docs with full schedules each.

Woo-hoo 90 with your hair on fire! FULL TILT BOOGIE!!

HUGS Rosie... sounds YUM. Wish Nv had managed to get a deer, but here it's so warm and early that most bucks haven't come down.... mostly I'm just glad to have him home ( at the stage where I can't do much for myself)

Yay for good kitty karma and finding the little lynx a home. He'll be much happier not cooped up. He's just not a social kitty

Sorry about the snow Rose.. send it our way if you want :)

erm.. thought you'd said he wasn't coming back until he'd bagged one, so I just assumed that meant the hunter had returned triumphant and laden with tasty.

Hey, if he wants to sit in my back yard and bag a couple hundred pounds of white tail...

**edit**
Wait, that sounds soooo wrong when I read it. We're infested with white tailed deer. Overrun. Inundated with bambi. Sweet lordy lou sombody save us from the deer!

Because Colorado can't actually follow the seasons. See, most years, we get snow well into March and sometimes April. This year, it warmed up precisely on the spring equinox and was lovely and rainy and green and warm aaaallllll through the glorious summer. Things started cooling down, particularly at night, shortly before the fall equinox. The leaves were all changing and the days were still pleasant and the nights were cold and it was actually behaving like Autumn, so Winter had to go and throw a tantrum and say, "I haven't gotten the bone-chilling iciness I'm used to having allotted to me, and I'm going to horn in on Autumn here, so there!" And that's just what Winter did, and now the pretty leaves are all dying and falling off the trees and the sky is all gray and depressing, and the days are cold and the nights are super cold, and all records for this time of year have been broken (last year many of them were broken as well, but for how warm it was, not for how cold) and all the happy little Autumn clouds poured ice and snow instead of crisp rain, and I don't think I've been able to feel my fingertips since it all started. So very cold. Nasty ol' cranky Winter.

Look around.
Leaves are brown.
It's a hazy shade of winter.

dada. dada. dada.

We just had the first killing frost yesterday. The leaves are turning pretty colors, but not with the intensity we're used to. More of a muted rust than BAZAM orange.
It was a long cool wet spring with two weeks of summer attached towards the end. Unusually mild temperatures for both Spring and Fall really.

The apples are delicious despite that! Very juicy this year, too.

Barkeep! It's 6:57 am and I'm about to head off to work. Please put a cool and frosty somthing in statis for me. It's going to be a strap your skates on and go kind of day.

long few days, lots of revision and stress with band moving rooms and work so my gut has been bad, I've pretty much only eaten fruit today as only thing I could stomach, will be very glad when this is all over after tomorrow, hopefully things will settle down.

I really didn't think I was that nervy but gut is horrible.

Meh. It was okay, I guess. The vasculature and nervous systems were by far the most interesting. And I guess the fetal development was kind of interesting, too. Maybe I'm just desensitized..........

Um.
What?
German corpse porn??

The exhibit was really quite small; it was moved from its original location at the Science Museum, so I guess a lot of the exhibits went elsewhere. And it's possible that this German Corpse Porn you mention couldn't follow the Bodies Exhibition due to legal or contractual obligations. ((shrug))

Hey all,

exam today, resting up and making sure my nerves don't get the better of me, been mainling peppermint and ginger teas but thanks for the suggestion MsA.

About to force some pasta down my neck for some carbs and so that I have eaten more than just a banana today. I have mints, dried apricots, glucosey goodness and water to take into exam, not that I like to be prepared of anything lol.

Hope you're all doing good, no snow here, or even rain, maybe a touch cold but a bit early for blighty weather nonsense. How about dem Bengals? 4-1 but trying not to get hopes up too much, particularly as we keep doing it in such horribly tight ways.

Anyway, I have to get back to my day, onwards to victory, Valhalla awaits ... and a well earned snooze!

It's very much needed! The first idea was that I was going to take care of the kitten till my best bud got an apartment (prolly a few months), but we had an understanding that if she wasn't going to be able to take him she needed to find a home for him (I can't have 4 cats, just not happening). She loved that kitten so much, but just couldn't hold on to him for that long a time. So I thought the best gift to remember him would be that ID tag. I'm gonna put it on a chain and give it to her. Should make her happy.

Sorry for not saying anything to you sooner, HK. I've just been so stressed 'bout this all. I'm just glad it's finally done. She's gonna LUV it! ^^

Oh, okay. Guess I just wanted to make sure it wasn't going elsewhere cuz of the phone number... Heh. But now, I guess, if your friend gets lost, she'll have her phone number around her neck so the person who finds her can return her. XD

Wednesday, October 14, 2009 10:28 PM

Yeah, I was kinda mulling that over in my mind when she first told me she wasn't taking him, but I think the couple is gonna rename him anyways (he will ALWAYS be Lynx, damnit!). Hehe, well she is a bit scatterbrained so...

Barkeep! Something cold and brewed please. Been a good day.

Spoke with the boss today when I picked up my paycheck. Long and short of it, I should find out by Friday if I'm getting a promotion at work.

Means that I will then be a driver/crew chief. Since my commute to the phone garage is short enough (90% of our traffic control work is for the phone company) I'll be able to have a company truck and use it to drive back and forth to work!

Saving me wear and tear on my car and with winter coming... I'd call that a win.
