Never again. Never again am I getting on a flight without a jacket or a sweater. Have you ever sat at an emergency exit on a plane with no insulation? That is a bitch of coldness. I mean, seriously, would it kill them to find a way to insulate the emergency exit too? The cabin temperature was fine, I'm inclined to comfort in cooler temperatures, ( Read more... )

There's a thing now. It's called, "Laurent Wolf - Walk the Line remix".

Do you know what this is? This is a techno-dance remix of the Johnny Cash classic, Walk the Line. There are dancing 'cowgirls' in a music video.

I can't embed, so I'm just linking. Tell me what's wrong with people?

So this is not exactly a record for me, but . . . given my recent absence (and I really should be working right now) I suppose it's noteworthy.

Anyhow, I'd been rewatching the old BBC Narnia miniseries and I'd just hit their version of Voyage of the Dawn Treader when I recalled my pique with the whole Eustace situation all over again. Therefore, I ( Read more... )

So I found the original BBC production of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe from the late 80s. I loved that series. It has its flaws but there were some clever ways around the low budget and uncommon (for the time) techonology. Also, love love love the themes song. I'm still working through it, but part one of the first episode of the miniseries ( Read more... )

Well, I doubt I can answer the second to anyone's satisfaction, but I can tell you where I've been.

I've been working. From home even. Do you know what that does to my motivation to write extraneously to the fanics I'd been doing? A lot, apparently, all of it bad. Between work, my mother, the other job, my mother, writing Avatar the Last Airbender ( Read more... )

Here's a test for you,

Nappy Heads Robbery

What was your first thought? If you're like me, you thought, in quick succession, a) people who wear nappies (diapers) on their heads, committing a robbery, and b) a giant nappy headed a robbery.

However, if you're not like me, you're thinking of the rapper who goes by that stage name. Not that "Nappy Heads ( Read more... )

I've really been quite enjoying this past weekend. I finally have full time work in the form ot two part time jobs, so I may, at some point, finally have a years worth of grownup jobbing on my resume. It's taking me longer than I'd hoped to get settled into the proofreading one, if only because I take a lot more time and care over the transcripts ( Read more... )

So my boss at my bricks and mortar job (which just went digital in that I'm doing it from home too, now), has yet to explain how she's going to pay me by the page, when she insists on paying by cheque. Which is kind of annoying. I mean, I'm already going to have to bug her about the second paycheque, which I never got, and whether, by 100 pages a ( Read more... )

Seriously, the only reason I knew what teams were playing the the Superbowl was because I was voting in the gallery on SuperPokePets, and there were all these pet environments with, "Go Steelers!" and "Go Packers" and "Go Green Bay!" Nothing for Pittsburgh, but I assume that's because it's harder to get all the letters, since you have to grow them ( Read more... )

Can anyone hypthesize why it is that my room smells like oil paints? Turpentine? Industrial cleaners? I'm trying to figure this out and I can't. I have, in the past, had these items in my bedroom, they are not there now. Actually, I haven't cleaned it in literally months, maybe more than a year. The thing that's making me crazy is the fact that it ( Read more... )
