Morning. I am just not feeling motivated today.
Nava some friends of mine are playing in Spain March 21-31st. What kind of music do you like? Seeing them play (which they do so infrequently here in the US) always cheers me up.
I’m taking a half-day vacation today. One of the windows we had installed a few weeks back doesn’t completely close, and it took them this long to fit us into the schedule. Of course, I got a call about an hour ago asking if it could be done early. Well, maybe, if I could have got a more definite time than “sometime between noon and five on the 30th” when I scheduled this. So live with it. {And I’m sticking my tongue out in the general direction of the installer.)
I’ve already pushed a bunch of stuff off onto Roundboy. How much you want to bet none of it will be handled when I come back tomorrow morning?
Eeeh… anything except Nirvana? Rushed explanation, but well, stuff I like includes
Rammstein
Leonard Cohen
Nightwish
and (looks both sides) Hank Williams Jr. I had a phase where I was listening to a lot of country because many of them were very easy to understand when they sang, it was a great way to practice my English
just to name people you may have heard of. I’m always willing to go to a concert, if it’s not too late; I’ve enjoyed concerts where I didn’t like the music at all (Marilyn Manson), since I’m perfectly able to appreciate good showmanship without needing to actually like the show. That’s where I discovered the RHCP, actually, a mega concert where the big item was MM…
Know Queens of the Stoneage (YouTube)?
I am not typing with my eyes closed right now. I am basically an upper level “hunt and peck” typer, I can sometimes type quickly and fairly well without looking at the keys or keeping my fingers on the home keys, which is what I am doing now. I correct my mistakes as I go. I did take a typing class in high school but I didn’t do well with that. I usually just type and look down occasionally when I lose my place, otherwise my fingers just seem to be able to find the right key. I don’t know how because I couldn’t tell you where the keys are if I was hard pressed to map out a keyboard.
I haven’t been online much for a couple weeks because my phone line was having a lot of issues and I have dial up access. It finally went out completely and I got the phone company to come out but not after promising to be here when they came even though I was convinced the problem was in the outside wire, which it was, so I had to wait about a week to schedule the repair because I didn’t have time off until then. Stupid phone company could have fixed it weeks ago when it was just staticky if they’d just come out and check the outside lines without someone having to be there.
I still plan on getting broadband but I have some major house-cleaning rearranging to do, so that the installer could actually reach the areas where he’d need to run the cables. I made some progress in cleaning my spare room a little and I plan to move some of my living room clutter to that room. Yes, I am just shifting the clutter around.
I didn’t order snow. What’s this snow doing here? I demand that it be taken back.
It’s cold, it’s wet, and it certainly doesn’t fit. That list of gripes doesn’t even include the fact that I don’t like/want it.
So, where do I return snow? The snow factory? Will they come pick it up, or do I have to rent a really big dump truck?
I’ll take some snow. We were meant to get some yesterday but it didn’t happen. I am still young and irresponsible enough that I can take a day off and go play, so I want some.
Left Hand Smoke Jumper Porter
Left Hand Brewing It’s all Flash-based and behind the usual “Are you over 21?” stuff
Looks like they have little to no distribution outside of their neighborhood.
Sir, you bring your favorite snow delivery method, I’ll give you some snow.
Ok - so call me naive. Alright, got that out of your system?
A co-worker advised me to check out Craigslist for something I was looking to [del]dump[/del] sell. So I did. Meh. maybe.
While I’m there, I see this whole ‘relationship’ section. :eek:
This is not your typical dating area. This is loads of people saying essentially: "Hi, it’s 10:30 AM Tuesday and I want to [del]catch scabies[/del] find a meaningful relationship with a total stranger sometime today, who’s joining me?
Did I say :eek: ?
People do this?
Awesome. Now to go find that really big dump truck you mentioned. Oh, and I’m a girl by the way.
Well, it is a place to get rid of stuff you don’t want after all… 
Ah, right-o. Well then, ma’am, I’ve procured a Mega Mondo Dump Truck, now all you have to do is shimmy your snow-bearing shop up the St. Lawrence Seaway and we can fill 'er up.
But it wouldn’t be getting rid of, it would be sharing! So friendly!
Ugh. I’m going to go hide in a corner.
Eating chocolate cinnamon buns.
Yeah but damn, no one’s taken me up on this yet…
So…Craig’slist is for people to hook up?
I don’t get out enough–who would have the nerve to do that?
My doctor’s appt that I thought was tomorrow is actually today–soon. thank og I looked at my calendar!
Bitchy lady at the lib was bitchy again today. And I got to work hard while watching two desk people watch me work. :rolleyes:
Mmmmm…scabies…
Bleh. Today is a very bleh day. Currently the only thing saving this day from complete crap is the imminent arrival of A NEW EPISODE OF HOUSE. I’m very excited that I get to watch A NEW EPISODE OF HOUSE tonight. I hope that the NEW EPISODE OF HOUSE will be good - I’m sure it will, they always are. Is anyone else going to watch the NEW EPISODE OF HOUSE tonight? I love it when they air A NEW EPISODE OF HOUSE.

I am frozen solid. No, really, I am. I just got here to my office after being gone most of the morning to a Mega (long) Mass at our Cathedral. It’s Catholic Schools Week, don’tchaknow. Thank a nun, if you know one, or just rap a kid on the knuckles with a ruler. hee hee. Anyway, I drove a carload of kids to this megalong Mass, and wore a light coat because I knew the pews would be packed and I didn’t want to put my white down coat under the pew for the fourth graders to tromp upon! So, I was under dressed.
Hee hee. Underdressed for Mass.
Anyway, I was back and forth from school to church to school to the grocery (where I had to stop and assemble a salad at the salad bar) and DAMN IT’S COLD! This sort of weather should NOT be allowed in the Upper South. (That’s what Southern Living Magazine calls us, the “Upper South.”) Also, my feet hurt, because I had to wear black leather boot/shoes to go with the unsuitable black leather coat.
I need to go make some tea. For FREEZING I am! [/yoda]
I’m also annoyed because it seems I’ve inadvertentedly damaged the battery to my beloved new Treo, which I love unreasonably. Apparently you can’t use the same old chargers for this newer model, and it’s made my battery go to hell. I make one phone call and it’s drained down to 80%. Wah. I know this is fascinating but I love this little phonie thing and it makes me weep that I’ve killed the battery. I also don’t want to spend the money, cheapskate that I am.
Anyway – thanks for all the hellos and welcome backs! You know, I’m around here on the Dope. You all just run too faast here on the MMP for me to keep up.
The chocolate cinnamon buns are delicious. Anyone want one?
I think it’s naptime. It’s a cold, snowy day. That means naps.
Oh- for gt, canineservant and anyone else that’s interested- we’ve got our Presentation to the Church or something ceremony scheduled, and I’m trying to pick a patron saint. Also thinking about what to do for Lent this year.
Apparently we need godparents as well as sponsors, so we’ve asked Best Friend and her husband to do it. Best Friend’s Husband got very power-mad about it. “I’ll be your godfather… no, your Godfather! This is awesome! I’ll need minions!”
