This and That

Well more of the icky white stuff assaults our area and once again I go all paranoid. PEOPLE Listen up – clean off your cars. I so hate people leaving snow on their car, getting in and driving down the road and then I get behind and it is like a fricking video game – first I get the blizzard as the loose small stuff comes off and fills my vision and messes up my windshield. Then the chunks start peeling off and it is like dodge'em – I have seen some major chunks come off these big SUVs and take out cows (okay not cows but take out road signs – I did see that, and wow I went OH SHIT as the speed limit sign fell over I also was laughing I have to admit) And watch the ice poop people – you know what ice poop is – that scum that builds up in the tire well and then periodically drops out it - is icy clumpy and usually blackish brown – ice poop. Those things are murder in parking lots and such – I have slipped and stumbled over a few – of course that is because I was not watching – bu...

Not liking the white stuff

FOUR to EIGHT INCHES the scarriest words in my vocabulary right now - lol Okay I hate snow. well I do not hate snow per se - just I do not like having to drive or go out in it. I grew up in Fla and Az and admit I can not drive in the stuff and I am a hazard on the road (plus my Saturn SL2 just was not meant to go off roading in winter weather - lol) - snow itself is not bad and does mean cuddling and laughing when you can have fun in it, just do not like having to drive in it.... I have had a few experiences driving in this stuff and all have ended not so great - including one time I was trying to make a simple right turn into my work and suddenly found my car doing a 360 so I ended up facing the total opposite way in the turn lane across the road - luckily was able to now make a left turn into my work (instead of the original right) and then huddled in the bathroom almost puking for 15 minutes until my nerves settled.... I have never done any winter sports (again growing up in warm c...

Hinge Points revisited

Listening to Bowling for Soup - Almost [3:26] - A Hangover You Don't Deserve Through one of the radio stations on www.live365.com (I like this Internet radio site – have lots of stations in my favorites list.) I like the song and this song is really all about hinge points (see one of my earlier entries for what I call a hinge point) like the song (lyrics are quirky and kinda really makes me think of Will (guess she was an almost hnge point - a kinda wish she was - lol) - sigh) anyways back to this and that

The Possessed Printer and other Woes

Crankswirling, Bareny, Enimem Lily Tomlin and other unconnected yet related topics

Whew - four day weekends are great and awful – it like means the possibility of getting lots done and the reality of procrastinating until once again you are backed up against a deadline. I'm actually not too far behind really – just always lots to do and yet I have odd times like now where I really am not sure what to do – eh another paradox, the typical norm for me – lol Well helping sister (well now sisters) buy a car. This person bought a truck to help a friend who needs to pay for a townhouse. So the friend then needed to sell her car to get the money to help the friend. So I told my sister who could use a car and thus we helped the friend who bought the truck to help a friend to buy her townhouse and god this is sounding like that one children's song… the one that goes there's a hole, there's a hole, there's a hole in the bottom of the sea… and builds up like 20 things in a line by the end. You know I was thinking about that last night as I lay in bed – I t...

A Fairy Tale of a Woman and Three Cakes

Okay so starting this thing as all fairy tales start – sickeningly sweet – although you know true fairy tales were horror stories and very graphic and rated R at least not the kind PG that we see so much of or the PC ones we see released… although I like those too… hmmm wonder which kind of fairy tale this should be Disney or Grimm…… anyways Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there lived a good and kind woman. And this woman had always eaten pie. She found the pie had changed over the years and did not really seem as sweet, and good, and fun as it had once. And then one day the pie baker did not come by, he had decided to make his pies for another and so the poor woman had no pie anymore. Well as she started getting back on track she found a new dessert, cake. Now as she looked at cakes, she found they were much more tasty than she had let herself believe. Actually she had looked at cakes before, a long, long time ago but had been swayed by the pie baker and so had not gon...

testing

Okay let's see if this is working

Music music music

I love music. Just about all kinds, love the way the lyrics and beat go together, love listening, reading lyrics, going to concerts, watching people react and interpret music - music moves us - drives us - tells so much about us. So let's see who have I gotten to see recently… um Finger Eleven (and three other local bands that opened for them) Michelle Branch Rooney (opened for Michelle) Muse The Zoltons The Dresden Dolls (most awesome show I have ever been to) Side effects (opened for the Dresden Dolls) Regina Spektor (opened for the Dresden Dolls) Bond (they were really good, classical music, trance beats, a nice stage show and four beauties) Fuzzy Bunny Slippers (a great cover band) Saw musical Rent on Broadway (Drew Lashley was lead and very good and cute and the person playing Angel – oh wow he nailed the role) Trying to think if that is it….. A lot of the concerts were in standing room mainly type concert venues so the tickets have been pretty cheap and always provide a great...

life's supposed to be all about the happy damn it

well just checking in with the usual depressing crap that gets me down and I have learned not to really share with anyone much anymore except kathy cause i do not wanna bring people down my one sis thinks the surgery was not complete and she still may be pregnant, I do not understand exactally what she is talking about (personally it sounds like spontaneous creation or something and my sister is definitely NOT the Virgin Mary, not close... - lmao) anyways so there are going to be more complications there - so instead of going back to get the one tube tied (she had the other removed because they found a dead fetus in her womb and an embryo was rupturing her fallopian tube - told you the drama never stops in our family - anyways) so now instead of just going to get the tube tied she may have to deal with more complications - will find out Monday I guess. The my other sister is most likely pregnant as mentioned before and she is at a point where health wise i worry and fmaily wise I worr...

Hinge Points of Life

You know – a big key to understanding yourself and others – especially on those deeper, friend or more levels, IMO, is knowing and finding and understanding hinge points in your life. I believe that while we move day to day, there are key events, times, people, basically key HINGES that drive and shape and really make us who we are. I teach historical geology (among a boatload of other topics) and we have a theory called punctuated equilibrium (referred to as PE from now on that to be confused with that class in school that most hate, makes you sweaty, makes you get naked in front of people you know are peeking and you are peeking too and all because you have to wear these too big or small stinky uniforms – anyways :-D) in regards to evolution (yes I believe in evolution and if you don’t you can go stick your opposable, genetically passed on, thumb up your tightly closed ass and mind… lol – anyways). The theory states that while gradual evolution – evolution is simply CHANGE THROUGH T...

Like Sands Slipping Through the Hourglass - cause someone dropped the F*ing prop and broke it

Well I am as excited as a peach about to be put in a pumpkin pie..... I got tickets to visit my sisters in march Naw actually I am excited - it is one of those Gilligan trips - you know a three day tour that feels like years and years and years and someone stop me now okay really kidding, I love all three of my sisters. The fun thing is, between the four of us through our personal family, our lives and everything around us, I could write down the real life stuff and sell it to soap opera land, no shit! I mean really if you looked at stuff, you'd probably start hearing the melodramatic music playing - I mean here is a brief preview.... Four sisters - four lives - all separate yet intertwined The one sister got pregnant when she was 17 and then again when she was 19. Separated from her husband, but is still not divorced because she could not afford it, took the money another sister sent (twice that idiot) for a divorce and spent it on gawd knows what and basically was t...

Second is almost as good as first

Hmm...... Well lots going on - all fun and busy, alotta projects coming my way at work so as I told my co-worker we no longer multi-task - we hyper-dimensional task - lol I need 30 hours, 5 arms and a whole lotts down time just to complete everything I do - which I have no right to complain because half the stuff I bring on myself You know I think work-a-holic syndrome (or whatever it is called) is like a form of self mutilation or something... I know that is harsh but I mean I torture myself by being a yes man erm woman. Not saying no (ooo almost a double negative) anyways not saying no is almost as bad in a sense as hitting yourself over the head with a baseball bat Hmm okay the bat would hurt and possibly cause long term memory loss but since I suffer from bad memory and a general blondeness to my character anyways would I even notice??? lol By the way Dory (from finding Nemo people) is my idol - I think I identify with her a lot - and yes of all the great people to i...

You always remember your first time

OKay, this is new different weird exciting blase outrageous crass cheap cliche and need to go buy a thesaurus - lol I decided to join the ranks of online - why? read an article on USATODAY about blogs being used to fire people from their job - lol so here I am at work blogging ;-) actually I just thought it'd be neat - I still have my journals from when I was 16 so why not start up again (you better not be asking how long ago that was - never ask a lady her age and whether you think I am a lady or not, my crowbar says I am a lady - so there) anyways so why not have a record of my thoughts now plus no one reads these so I can be really really funny cuz I know everything I think and write is hilarious - lol - hehe alright - I'll write more laters - gotta get ready to leave work and go for my 2 mile walk on the boardwalk. catch ya laters
