I'm almost certain that the only thing even comes close to "southern-sounding" that ever leaves my mouth is the word "I." Yes, at times it does indeed come dangerously close to sounding like "ah" instead of "I." Other than that, it always floors people when I tell them that I was born and raised here in the south.

Book recs?
Now that I'm over my Olympic rant *lol*, I was wondering if anyone had any good book recommendations? Novels and/or mangas will do.
I'll have a lot of free time on my hands pretty soon, since everyone's children will be in school and will therefore have homework...which means that they'll have to stay home *mwuahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa*.

What's with people and the Olympics?
I'm really starting to become annoyed by NBC AND the people watching/commenting on the Olympics.
I'm tired of hearing about the disputed ages of the Chinese gymnasts. I'm tired of hearing the "Did Micheal Phelps really win his 7th race?" crap, and most importantly, I'm absolutely freaking tired of the whole "medal count" thing.
And @ NBC telecasters ( Read more... ) -
Numerous thoughts
Just a couple more weeks until my "Threatre of Kiss" dvd is shipped out to me. I'm really looking forward to it.
I started reading 'Only the Cat Knows' by Marian Babson today. Usually, books written in first person make my stomach churn; but Ms. Babson has been doing a marvelous job of keeping my little food processor at ease. So far so good. Dante ( Read more... ) -
2008 Beijing Olympics part deux
I haven't been this into the games since about 1996 (when I was just a pup...aaaaaaaw). What really gets me going is swimming, diving, indoor volleyball (which I usually find pretty boring), and gymnastics.
I think that the new scoring system for gymnastics is pretty *bleh* and gives several opportunities for dishing out crap scores, but that's just ( Read more... ) -
The 2008 Beijing Olympics
All I can say is that China put on the most beautiful Olympic opening ceremony that I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Words can't express how grand the whole thing actually was.... It was just amazing.
I think my icon sums it up, however.

Three days wasted...I could have been doing something else...
Instead of doing something productive, I decided to find a YA series that I'd started as a teen, but never finished...for whatever reason. I picked up The Dark Angel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce from my job and prepared myself to be dazzled. It started off great! I couldn't get enough the series and finished the first two books in record time. ( Read more... ) -

Well, not much has been going on with me since the last time I posted. I'm lining everything up for the weekend (because that's the only free time that I have these days), and I'm ready for the weekend to get here ( Read more... ) -
Another temporary hiatus :(
Guys, I'm really, really tired, and bored, and kinda sorta at my wits end here. I'm taking a vacation (which was actually a very sudden decision), so I have no idea when I'll be posting in this thing again. I'll still check my FList from time to time, but as far as my journal is concerned....yeah. I'm won't delete it or anything. It's just going ( Read more... ) -

Have you every been so frustrated that you just felt like going to sleep, and not waking up for at least 48-72 hours? Yeah...me too.
