remind me to keep on that. it's amazing how many different thoughts/feelings/opinions one has about a day over the course of 24 hours, isn't it? Today has been incredible, funtastic, shitty, headache-inducing, mellow, boring, asinine, regal, busy, lazy, hilarious, and Wednesday. Can't wait to see how tomorrow plays out.

random bits from today

I decided/learned that zombies hate mailboxes. (It's true. Have you ever seen a zombie near a mailbox?) Sang the hot dog tune about 15 times - and that was in the 6pm hour alone! Saw lots of road construction. Finished book 2 of "Preacher". (It's not great, but I've got to see how it all ends.) Watched "Horrible Bosses" - started off slow, but had some very funny moments to it. Haven't quite

Worst. Ear Worm. Ever.*

2012-01-10T22:37:00.000-08:00

back in December of this year (heh. or, rather, December of LAST year), we went out to get some groceries, and while at the supermarket, we saw a Salvation Army employee standing in front of his donation jar. He sang a little ditty as we went into the store: "Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog. Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog." We continued on our shopping, and everything was cool. On our way

A few Sundays ago, as I was leaving church, I found God's wallet. It looked like an ordinary wallet when I first saw it, but the identification inside stated that the owner was the Almighty. I was quite surprised by this finding for many reasons. First, I did not know that God carried a wallet. Upon further thought, though, it made sense. Even the Lord needs a place to store His money. The

Haiku Review: Super 8

2012-01-08T13:00:00.000-08:00

Super 8: mix in E.T, Goonies, ID4, Cloverfield, lens flare. This film was okay as an homage to Spielberg, just wasn't 'super'. Calling it "Average 8" - more accurate, but would have sold less tickets.

2012-01-04T22:38:00.000-08:00

I had wanted to blog every day this year - or at the very least, every day that I had something to say - but seeing as I have nothing to blog about right now, I think I'm going to go ahead and give myself permission to skip today. ...and seeing as how I've just blogged, I do believe that gives me a 'get out of jail free' card to use at some point later in the year.

The CenturyLink Saga

2012-01-03T18:22:00.000-08:00

Note that this saga ends ...anticlimatically. So, we had Century Link as our cable provider for most of 2011, but due to finances, we simply could no longer to justify paying 60-whatever dollars for televised entertainment, and opted to cancel it. So, I canceled, back in October, and I distinctly remember during that conversation that Century Link told me, "We will send you a box in the mail so

Habit!

2012-01-02T20:59:00.000-08:00

They say that to have a habit form, you have to repeat the action for six weeks. (Or, something similar to that. Or maybe I just made that statistic up out of an amalgamation of things I've heard/read over the past 30-some-odd years.) ANyway. Let's assume that it DOES take 6 weeks for a pattern of behavior to become a habit. I suppose that means that mid-February, I'll finally be used to

Don't call it a comeback

2012-01-01T07:41:00.000-08:00

You can answer in the comments, or if you'd like to make this viral, you can answer it on your own blog, I just ask that you link back to me. Where do you see yourself in 10 seconds?

September went by pretty quickly, didn't it? Of course, now that tomorrow is October (!!!), the rest of the year will slip into fast forward. Especially with all the events coming up this month. There's thee Renaissance Faire on the 8th, as well as payday. And that Sunday is 10/10/10...which ...while very cool, I don't know what I'll do to celebrate. Probably just be all, "Cool.

But it was still also the Freak's fault for being in the road in the first place. At least, that was the justification Alexander used to help him feel better. If he'd not been intoxicated

Pick a song

2010-09-28T22:26:00.000-07:00
So, you're driving along, listening to the radio, and scanning the presets. You hear three tunes - which do you choose to listen to? A) "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by the Smashing Pumpkins B) "Kiss Me Deadly" by Lita Ford C) "Sober" by Tool

Your friends don't dance.

2010-09-27T22:37:00.000-07:00
I've had that song stuck in my head all day. Also I'm not P@. I'm Saren. again. Because I started this blog and I'M GONNA END IT. I'm sure that's a line from some movie. Somewhere. I say this because quoting movies makes you cool. Okay so. Dad walked out and asked me to blog for him so I wanted this to be all creative and stuff and not like when I was blogging for him just to put in a filler.

Warning: Not that interesting! I only have a few stories involving counterfeit money that I can recall. here they are! About (my god!) 15 years ago, a friend of mine's mom worked in a casino. At one point during her shift, she received a counterfeit 100 dollar bill. Somehow or other, she ended up giving it to my friend and let her spend it. yay for moms with wacked out moral compasses!

I'm not stealing it, see. I'm just borrowing it, I guess. Soupytwist has been blogging about art all this month. (Or maybe it's Art. Probably both.) Anyway. She has talked about movies and television and books, but one thing that she hasn't mentioned (that I've seen) is video games. So. Can video games be art? I would argue that they can be, if movies are, since video games are just movies that

Funniest line from a political commercial: "I'm Sharon Angle, and I approve this mess--" Heh. I know that it was unintentional and that it was just the last half second being cut off, but it made me chuckle. Now, if only the other 29.5 seconds of the spot could be cut off as well...

100 days and MANTIS

2010-09-22T21:16:00.000-07:00
2010 only has 100 days left in it! Crazy. And, actually, since this day is more or less over now, it's 99. Our Mantis (Steph blogged about it here - way back in July!) has grown to a disturbingly large size now. I'm not sure how big it is, exactly, but it's much bigger than it was all those months ago when it first appeared on our screen door. In fact, until a few weeks ago, I was pretty

In lieu of a real entry (I've been sitting at the keyboard for over seven minutes now, staring at a blank screen, tyring to think of *something* to write), I'm just going to find a random youtube song, and link to that. Why? Because it's what we do. (and because I've been listening to that album today.)

In an alternate universe, where sheep have superstrength (provided through their wool) and have been domesticated by humans and raised into intelligent weaponry....someone has uttered the line, "You sheared my battlesheep." But I don't think that particular sentence has ever been said in *this* universe. Until now.

Work makes me grumpy

2010-09-18T22:35:00.000-07:00
Well, lots of things makes me grumpy. But working certainly tops the list. And having to deal with obnoxious individuals. Seriously, there shouldn't be 10 commandments, there should be one. And it would be thus: "Dude. Don't be a dick." It's not a tough one to follow, is it? I don't think that it is, but obviously there's something tough about it, because a good portion of the population can't

Billy was 9 when the Supreme Creator of the Universe first spoke to him directly. He was at a petting zoo, when he heard the voice behind him. "Billy." Young Billy turned to see who had spoken. His father was watching off in the distance, along with several approaching families, but this voice had come from the opposite direction. One of the goats looked at Billy with it's bizarre

It's almost tomorrow and The P@ hasn't blogged today. So I figured (actually, debated with myself for about an hour) that I'd post for him. I figure if he really doesn't want this post then he can delete it. Anyway, so that you forget that he almost didn't blog today, here is a kitten, because no one can be angry at kittens. unless said kitten peed on your floor.By the way, Dad, if you'd rather

If there is any truth the dream I had last night, Canada is not a place to live. Well, I mean, if you're a cat. Because, apparently, in Canada there are spiders the size of a dinner plate, and they exist on a cat-only diet. Still creepy, though. Oh, and you have to knock on any door that you enter, even ones in your own house. Those crazy Canucks.

"And the wot-wot nine under salty agwa, seen?" This woman was clearly delusional. Some of the words she had been sputtering were English, but making sense of them was beyond me. "I. Don't. Understand. You." It's a common fact that if you talk slower to people you don't get, they will gain comprehension. Which is why the woman began speaking back to me, slowly. She sighed in frustration, then

I'm not very knowledgeable on numerology, but is today's date cursed or something? It was just, overall, an unpleasant one. I've been grumpy the last few days, though, so maybe numbers have nothing to do with it. Anyway. Tomorrow's the 10th, so it's got to be a better day. In fact, I will make it a better day. Even if I have to kill every single person that gets in my way and tries to ruin it.

Hooray! We have our Saren back! When we got her from the airport -which, dude. I'm SO glad we don't fly often. Airports are on the same level as DMVs when it comes to boredom production and bureaucracy atmosphere - I said that she looked taller. She replied that we all looked "tinier". Heh. Sadly, I haven't been able to see her much, because after driving back home, I had to go back to work

A matter of taste

Who was the United States most delicious president? My gut (ha!) instinct says Franklin Donuthole Roosevelt. However, John Fructose Kennedy was probably sweeter (although much less nutritious). I suppose, ultimately, it's a matter of taste, as most things food and political are.

Never quite understood how feet are dogs, but whatever. My feet are really sore right now. The sev keeps me on my feet pretty much the entire shift, as opposed to the station, where I'm more or less sitting the majority of the day. What I really need is a job where I get paid for lying down. Heh. Tomorrow, definitely no work-related blog entry. Seems like that's all I talk about anymore. Today

2010-09-03T22:05:00.000-07:00
eh. Just spent the last five minutes or so trying to think of a title, unsuccessfully. My day was long, stressful, ultimately rather boring. WOrking at "the sev" is, I think, not something I want to do for an extended amount of time. I like it, in theory. But it seems that each time I go toward there, I feel a small sense of dread. I fear that I'm not learning the job quickly enough, and not

It's really very early, but I figure if I don't blog NOW, I won't really get a chance, since I'm working both jobs today, and won't be home until after 10pm. And by that point, I have no idea if I'll be alert enough to even compose anything on the computer. So, I thought, why not blog now, before you leave home? Great. Only problem is, I have nothing to talk about. All right. I promise to blog

For now, I think I'm going to attempt to take a nap while Steph, Harper, Irina, and Silas

While removing a bunch of employees seems like a great way to save money (and, in fact, probably is, at least in the short term), keep in mind that the workers you have stick around are going to have their workload doubled (or sometimes tripled ...or more). And while that might work out just fine for you - after all, you aren't doing any extra work, and you're saving lots of money since you

"It only ends once." Well, actually, we got two endings, didn't we? This is what took place in Sideways World: Each of the characters "wakes up". This "waking up: means remembering their Island life (and sometimes death). As each character has their epiphany, lots of great music plays. Most of these wake ups happen thanks to loved ones from their days on the Isle. I guess in The End the love

I was pretty disappointed, as was Stephanie, and a whole lot of other people on the internet were as well. But, it seems, just as many people seemed to either love it or at least, find it acceptable. And there were moments that I truly enjoyed. But after it ended, I actually felt trepidation about

Since Lost is wrapping up, and there are lots of loose threads, let's flash way back. Pregnant woman winds up stranded on the Island. Whoa. Déjà vu, dude. An unnamed woman finds and takes in the pregnant woman, Claudia. Hmm. I think unnamed woman needs a name. I think Crazy Pants works well. Some other names we might consider: Smoke Momster, or how about Eve? Well, whatever we call her, she

At first I wanted to pout, "What on earth should I blog about?" Then I learned that 12 May is Limerick Day. And that removed all my doubt. If I were feeling a bit more creative, another limerick I would give. I wrote out this one, but it wasn't much fun, perhaps I should be less dismissive?

Yesterday I went out to get pizza for dinner, and realized halfway there that I had forgotten both my wallet and my debit card. Seeing as how we live about a thousand miles away from everything, having to turn around and go back home was slightly irritating. And Steph will attest that when I get irritated, other drivers and distractions on the road are that much more vexing to me. So, when I

John Locke proclaims that he won't walk 500 miles, much to Jack's chagrin. Jack: "I can fix you." Locke: "But then we'd get married. So, thanks, but no thanks." Mr. Fix-It's all, "Don't tell me what I can't do!" and invades Locke's life. Jack asks Locke's dentist (who happens to be Bernard) for info on Locke. Does doctor-patient confidentiality mean anything, guys? Well, whatever. Jack

I could probably do a full month's worth of these, but for now, just three short ones. (because that's all I can remember/think of right now) When it comes to songs, I'm full of ...idiosyncrasies (or maybe audiosyncrasies. Heh.). What I mean by that is that I will continue to sing things as I originally heard them, even if the lyrics are incorrect. Or, as is the case with the last two examples

So, as Steph mentioned, yesterday we went to PetSmart, and Saren bought a female Fancy Rat, along with the bedding and some rat food, all using her own money. Saren named the rat Skittles due to it's skittish nature, and also, I'm assuming, because inside the rodent were fruit-flavored sweet candies. Okay, not really. (But, man, if Science ever creates rats that poop skittles...) Anyway. The

Every day in May

2010-05-01T18:31:00.000-07:00
So the plan is to blog every day this month. The original plan was to write a story, in installments, like I did last May (remember that? I think it turned out well), and I still may (ha), but I will definitely be blogging each day. And a large majority of them might be photos. Because they're easier than writing words. In fact, the next post (or, um, the one that you read before this one, if

Linear story telling is so passé. Let's bounce around, shall we? Poor Miss Littleton. Always being abandoned. Until Kate arrives. She's talked her out of being crazy. At least, it seems that way for now. Well, well, well. It looks as though Des survived his fall. Now... did Sayid shoot? Jack is on a boat Until Sawyer kicks him off, so he swims ashore. (By the way, what's in the back pack

What the hell, blogger? I can't search my own blog? I mean, I can, it just doesn't work properly. I haven't checked to see if this is a widespread problem, or if it's just me, but either way it's irritating. What good is a record of musings past if it's not easily accessible? [sigh] So, in the story writing development news, I've come up with an(other) epic idea! And several

Hurley's pretty great, but he's lonely - no soul mate. There's Libby! It's fate! Libby's got a hunch. She and Hurley have their lunch. Des makes Locke go crunch. Why did Des attack Locke in his car? For payback? Or to cause flashback? Hey! There's Michael's ghost! Oops, now Ilana is toast. Jack trusts Hurley most. He blew up Black Rock, now Hurley wants to talk with the thing called Smocke.

Widmore thinks Des has one hell of a magnetic personality. After Des gets zapped by a massive EMF, he goes to alt-world. There, things are good for Des. For one thing, he's got the respect of Widmore. However, it's not Happily Ever After, fairy-tale perfect. Because Des has to babysit Charlie. Plus, he's never met Penny. Charlie tells hi when he died on the plane, he had a glimpse of true
