My laptop became a floortop. The good news is now new computer is put higher on the to do list.
As always, cheers, sir.
You know who’s doing something cool right now? My roomie. It’s 11:17 and she is still out with her new partner in crime, almost 8 hours later. Huh.
Simple pleasures. My ruby red grapefruit is in and tastes wonderful. Living in FL has its advantages.
Ugh. Florida citrus. Florida grapefruit. I am drooling just thinking about it. Those beautiful pink droplets of joy, the light mist that comes off a section as you peel it away from the whole, the delightful way that grapefruit scent lingers on your fingers for hours, forcing you into sensual reveries of delicious memory at inappropriate times…
Damn. I need to go to the grocery store.
(And I need a cold shower…)
You’re like Kramer and the Macama peaches!
Yeah! After 2 months my work place finally got the 12 year old tech guy to come in and fix the server. I’m connected to the intraweb again!!
Whoa! I’ll have what she’s having!
It’s like having a circus in your mouth!
Whee ha! 'Bout time!
Two words
Watchmen Tickets…
I got 'em. Tomorrow night at Midnight…I will be watching it!!!
We expect a full report. Some of the buzz I’ve been getting is that it’s not so good, but I gope that’s wrong. Way wrong.
I’ve acquired a roommate for next year. I shan’t be broke. (Maybe I’ll be able to attend the 2nd Annual GWC National Meetup. sigh.)
I made a nice, simple dinner for my wife on her birthday: a white pizza with garlic, crab meat and shrimp and raspberry and chocolate crepes for desert. A splendid time was had by all. I even splurged on a very simple present by raiding the bargain book bin for mysteries, as she’s been bemoaning her lack of reading materials for weeks now.
Way to go, bro! My feminine side is swooning.
AEG, we shall remember you in spirit. Congrats on the roommate! It must be a relief.
I got a query earlier this week for a freelance editing gig from someone who wants a promo video to run at a booth they’re setting up at a Science Center event next month. Since I don’t have my own equipment, I always have to turn these jobs down, but I’ve recently hit upon some connections that might allow me to rent time on others’ editing stations. Today I got another offer for a gig from some friends with a band who want to do some interview podcasts at a concert. If all this works out at the right time, I might have some real work coming my way.
Yay Glim!
And I love the science center. I remember when the part on the other side of 64 opened and it was so cool that you could measure how fast the cars were going below you on the highway. And build your own arch. and the dinosaurs! and the physics toys!
ah happy memories.
Yes, very cool place. Sadly, I’m usually trapped in the hamster cage that is the Omnimax projection room, so I don’t get to explore it like I want to. We’ve got the SUE exhibit from Chicago, and I’ve gotta take a lunch break to go see it before it’s gone.
Woot! May the work start snowballing for you and may you be working on a major motion picture by this time next year as a result.
So I’m shopping tonight at Trader Joe’s, and I’m wearing my “Blue Sun” t-shirt (the green one, not the crappy white one with blue lettering that some joints sell)… I’m walking through the store, and one of the stockboys says, “Yeah! Firefly!”, and I say “Hell, yeah! You a fan, too?”
And the guy turns around, and pulls down his collar, and he has the Chinese character for Serenity tatooed on the back of his neck! Nice.
Shoulda thought to get a pic, so I could share… maybe next time.
My laptop of 7 or 8 years is finally on its death bed. I will be limited on how much time i will be on line. I hope to be back on as usual in around a week.
The good news is I am getting a new Mac laptop.
I hope not to have to go to the B and moan thread about paying the bills. :eek:
In the interest of the “post on ‘teh suck’ then post here” rule of Leah’s: The Mrs. has a job interview tomorrow (for a full time, long term job this time, not temping). Although she’s hoping it might be a waystation for an even better job at the Smithsonian, to which she applied on Friday, it’d still be nice if they hired her. Then I could quit MY job and just sit around the house eating Pop Tarts all day (Well, okay, that last part’s not true. But I am trying to transition into freelancing, maybe, if I can pull it off–we’ll see–and having one of us with a permanent, somewhat secure position would help things in that area).
I get the most attention when i wear my Serenity shirt. Almost every time i wear it in public i get comments on it. It warms my heart.
However my Eddie Izzard Cake or Death shirt has gotten me free booze
