If I weren't sick, there's no way I would sit through X-Men: The Last Stand again.

Getting really si - I mean, tired, of picking up every rhinovirus on Earth, every damn year.

So what goes on? Still looking for a house, still frustrated by the interminable bullshit of short sales and foreclosures (but, if you're looking in this end of the market, that's where the action is.) Lost on the last one, which was fairly frustrating, seeing as the seller didn't bother to tell us we lost until oh, twelve days later.

In geek matters, finally finished...

The AZ law makes me psychotic. At this point I think it is a wise political strategy to just tear the faces off the enemy. Clearly logic isn't working. Big sigh.

I want to see that film quite a bit, and I don't have kids. And I'm not a kid at heart. It just looks cool.

Yay prom excitement. Unfortunately, I suck.
rchaversackjones:
well, sorry about the house. you'll get the right place eventually.

as for avatar, huzzah! i love that last episode! the music, the emotion, and all from an animated series. can't wait for the movie.

These may be the most astounding natural photos I have ever seen.

One could be forgiven for thinking that Thor was fighting Surtr up there.

In other news, my Prom costume is complete. And yes, it is more geeky than you can possibly imagine.

My work computer was infected by the mack daddy motherfucker of all trojans today. No, I wasn't surfing the gutters of the internetz, this started with a javascript exploit that made its way into an ad on one of the news sites I frequent. To this you might say, well that's why I use NoScript. Yeah, I agree, and yet somehow, the existence of NoScript...

If you don't want me to work on a Saturday, hire me some fucking staff.

In other news: the conventional wisdom is that Bond movies got silly when Roger Moore took over. To this I say: have you seen Diamonds Are Forever recently? It's ridiculous.

That is all.

The entire concept of Bond is silly so I don't know what the conventional wisdom is smoking.

Metaphor, schmetaphor. A pulley would do me worlds of good right now. smile

The mold idea is making sense to me. I am in a new office this semester - windowless, airless and generally stagnant. I would not be surprised if numerous living things were populating the badness in the walls.

Somehow, until tonight, I avoided the steaming pile of pretentious rubbish that is Guy Ritchie's film, Revolver. But sadly, I somehow also avoided the many, many reviews that would have warned me off.

I can count the movies I have walked out of/ shut off on one hand. I sat through The Brown Bunny, for fuck's sake. But I had to hit the Stop button...

I'm not surprised no one got it. Most of what happened in the world before 1992 is a complete mystery to most of our generation i think....

Third place in trivia, again. Led until the third round, again. Damn you, Social Distancing! May the fleas of a thousand camels find refuge in your body hair!

But hey, at least there's good scotch.
ribbonsundone:
Congrats on the almost win! A plague will certainly fall on the two houses of the winners. The trivia gods have spoken.
dice:
Awww thanks for the support on my new set. Can't wait to see you at Wondercon! biggrin

Awoke to sheer barking madness this morning, found vertical blinds snapped off, various tabletop crap knocked on the floor. It was a team effort, both the dogs and the cat participated. The cause? A strange cat outside on the patio. Can't help but imagine all was well until he gave them the finger.
ginary:
Hahaha !
ribbonsundone:
Thank you for your nice words.

You know how animal rumbles are. That cat was all "talk to the pawpad" and then your dogs were all "oh, no she di'int" and the cat was all "it is SO ON fur face!" Collateral damage means nothing when reps are on the line. The pane of glass is all that stands between their civilized appearance and their true aminoos nature. That is what we tell our cat when she "attacks" the birds and squirrels who are clearly mocking her in a way a petty human cannot understand.

How are you these days? I hope life is returning to whatever normal is now.

Indeed on the now self arguing with the former self. Your seasonal reminder above makes me miss the very thing. I figure it can only hurt a little to change - maybe even in the good way. smile

We will have to compare tattoos when they finally come to pass! Happy happy and quick recovery.

Love it smile

Well it turns out the company Christmas party was an excellent excuse for everyone to buy me birthday drinks. That's the good part. The bad part is that that party was followed by my surprise birthday party. Oh, the whiskey. And when I say "Oh," I mean "Ow."

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes.
