Flist check

Jul 19, 2005 10:02

Hmm...I'm sitting here bored at work, waiting until noon so I can go to lunch with elizabuffy (yay!) and then say goodbye to her (sob!). Talked to my boss this morning, lined out what I'm supposed to research on the home movie people (thank you all for filling out the poll, btw! I know it's skewed because you're a rather handpicked audience, but it was ( Read more... )

flist, randomly...

I just booked flight to see the SO in Illinois, where I will also meet up with a couple of peeps off my flist. Hooray, LJ!

Awesome! (Though I've never been to IL so I don't know if there's anything there) Have fun meeting others from the flist! *is jealous* I know I've only gotten to meet one person that I met off LJ ever...

Well, mostly what's there is my *main squeeze*!

He has never been able to get LJ, he's the one that couldn't load the free AOL disk on his computer, and explaining to him that I'm going to ditch him for a few hours in favor of a couple of women I've never actually met -- yep, that's gonna be fun.

See? He thinks I am a computer whiz!

EB, please pick Phen up off the floor once she stops laughing and gasping.

Nah, I have great respect for your computer prowess. Most of the people I know could never manage LJ navigation, actually. For that you get a gold star.

And free AOL disk? ew. *curls lip* Do you know what great frisbees those make though? Or coasters.

Enjoy the SO. Good luck with the 'splaining though. *hee* And hopefully he won't be like my family and assume anyone I meet on-line MUST be a serial killer.

First of all, I love "I, Grieve" too! I (heart) Peter Gabriel. I too am at work. I'm doing some researching into podcasting because there is some interest in experimenting with it at my library. I've just been introduced to the idea today and it seems pretty neat to me. I have a shift on the reference desk today from 3 to 5. Then I go home, where I shall do my Young Adult Literature assignment on biographies. I will also most likely talk to the Boy as well. I'm a little bored too, so if you want to "talk" through the lj for a while, that's cool.

Podcasting? Sounds vaguely familiar, though I've never brushed it. What is it again?

The assignment in Adult Young Lit doesn't sound like fun...but hopefully it is?

Yay Boy ;^)

*snuggles* Most people don't even know what "I Grieve" is, much less who sings it! You rock. That used to be my grieving song actually...I don't cry easily, so I used to use it for a booster. Even so, I like listening to it just for the hell of it too. Love some of the lines: "The news that truely shocks is the empty, empty page." "Did I dream this belief or did I believe this dream?" and then how gritty it gets "The Dogs and the Cats, the Flies and the Rats..."

I like a lot of the other songs for that movie too...though there are a few I don't. First CD I ever bought with my own money though when I very first got a CD player. Iris is also another great favorite of mine. "When everything seems like the movies..."

I know what it is like to really be struck by some lines of music.

Tori Amos has a lot of lines that really strike me, as does Leonard Cohen. I'm not sure if you're at all familiar with those two though.

I know Tori Amos! Like a lot of her songs too. My favs are probably: Horses, Winter, and Crucify. I think she has quite a bit I haven't heard though, too.

Leonard Cohen sounds familiar, as if I should recognize him. But I can't think of anything off the top of my head...

I was stood up by a friend who was supposed to be here at 8:30 this morning. Now I am waiting for a call from some other friends who wanted to go to lunch 'around noon.' (It's 12:20). My class was canceled for tonight, which normally, as I am sure you know, is a BEE-U-TEE-FULL thing, but right now, my schedule was so delicately balanced that everything is probably going to be, oh shall we say, cluster-fu#@ed.

I, too, adore the City of Angels soundtrack. The movie, however, made me almost as angry as I seem to be right now!

Also bored. Should go clean house :(

Grr to the friend. And here's hoping the others come through. I hate waiting on people. Eek! Hopefully you don't have to make up the class later?

Re: City of Angels:

Really? I liked the movie...though I wasn't expecting it.

It's odd. I love the soundtrack, BUT only certain songs. 1,2,6,7,8,9 I think (though I've plucked out the ones I don't like so I'm not entirely sure of their numbers any more). I really don't like the rest. Still...those certain ones are so beautiful and powerful.

Just got back from swimming where I learned how to do flip turns and racing dives. I think I can actually do a flip turn most of the time without getting water up my nose now =)

And I'm making lunch now. And listening to 102.5 (Spokane).

God. I haven't gone swimming in years. I was really good at it as a kid though, EXCEPT for the dives. Racing dive...is that the starting dive into the water?

102.5...what do they play? (Unfortunately, I don't have a radio at my desk or I'd tune in to listen with you ;^) I'm a dork, I know, but when I listen to Spokane stations it's 98.9, 99.9 or 101.1

Well, enjoy lunch. Whatcha having?

Eeps! 45 minutes? Not a small errand then. And uck. It's hot here too, save that that means the air conditioning climbed another notch and I'm making an effort to discourage the icecycles from forming in my tea.

I need a haircut too, but then I have for months now...

I want to re-read Harry Potter. *pout* But save for the new one, all my other books are back in Montana.
