If I hear that song "Christmas Shoes" one more time I may take something heavy to the radio. It's arguably offensive even without being overplayed. And I haven't heard my favorite "Christmas Wrapping" once this this year for the second year in a row! Have they suddenly deemed the Waitresses to be offensive or something? At least I got to hear ( Read more... )

Why'd it have to occur the day of the final? Now I have to venture out through about two feet of snow and still coming down! If this doesn't stop by tomorrow I might have to worry about my train. At the very least, it's going to be an even longer ride(I'd almost prefer a delay. Long enough a one and I'd be able to watch the first half of the ( Read more... )

Feeling better with the marketing assignment behind me. It seemed to be harder than it actually was, thanks to Microsoft Word. That program is enough to drive anyone bananas. Twice this morning I had to close and restart it because it mysteriously went into "Insert" mode, where if you go back to insert a phrase into a sentence, the computer ( Read more... )

Much as I admired the format of NISA's stream yesterday, I cannot forgive technical malfunctions that refuse to let me watch, especially after I've paid my raised-by-inflation fee. One hit me this morning and I've given up and am now seeing if I can just hold out on spoilers until IceNetwork uploads footage, since they will apparently be doing so ( Read more... )

I wrote up a report on the Senior Ladies SP and posted it to GoldenSkate last night. I'll take notes for their long as well today, but I'll be getting in late so probably no post until tomorrow ( Read more... )

In celebration of our finally seeing the first of Johnny Weir's new programs tomorrow(technically, anyway; he skates at 12:30 AM EDT, Japanese TV airs it an hour or so later, I assume the wonderful people at fsvids will upload the footage quickly enough, and in the best case IceNetwork will have it available on-demand by the time I wake up tomorrow ( Read more... )

Further contemplating the impossibilities of Windows Movie Maker, and the difficulties of replacing it. I understand now what that one poster meant when she said vidmaking can be a no-cost habit, or one you sink thousands of dollars into! If I keep it up I shall have to find a happy medium. During all this, I got the obligatory Sasha montage out ( Read more... )

Feeling much more cheerful now. Nothing like a journal post from Johnny Weir for making you laugh. And here's his husband and wife.

Harry Zidler's playing Slughorn! *giggle* Seriously, I'm a longtime fan of Jim Broadbent, so I'm happy to hear he's taken the role.
In honour of Talk Like a Pirate Day, to quote one person, today's Sesame Street clip is brought to you by the numbers 1 through 20, and the letter ARRRRRRR:

I'm afraid it says something about the direction in which our society is going that they censored Kathy Griffin's Emmy speech. There was nothing in that speech that we haven't heard a hundred versions of somewhere or other, but now the crazy Christians are going after it, because they now can. I admit I know nothing about the woman except that ( Read more... )
