Just Tripping Along The Freakazoid

Whew been busy and not sleeping right - ah well. I think it is because I am so upset and tense about stuff at work (I was semi outed and now have a couple possible bad things going on because of that) and been worried about my sister and a couple other things. But saw Spamalot in Philly today and actually got to see Eric Idle too - my famous person encounter for the year - lol Also stopped at TLA Video and found some neat movies Two weeks till I visit Arizona - yay - need that and hoping to really relax. Got all excited in the Environmental class I teach Friday - I taught them how to make rain - lol I also walk all over the place when I teach, and wave my arms about and knock on desks and the board and stuff and just get all into it - I think I make them laugh - but in a good way. Speaking of laughing - Friday was the faculty in service at work - we had a speaker come in who had been a stand up comedienne and then taught traffic violation school - I learned how to bomb gracefully...

it sucks when you have to be afriad of doing or thinking something (1984 alive adn well) and when you suddenly get to a place where you hate everythign and one of the very important things that keep it all together and sane and is there when nothign and no one else is is suddenly something that makes you want to go and curl in your bed and cry and scream and not get back up and face people or work.what a week to have everything ick converge on the total 180 degree side - I saw the movie 300 and liekd it - at first i was oh damn this si a war movie and I do not watch those, then I was like oh man this is weird and then it became a story and then a fabulous myth - the way it was shot and the actors and the story - I liked the fighting scenes actually - well done.

The odd physicist was right - time is relative - fuck how three years has gone by so fast and yet it seems from another perspective to be the longest, dreggiest time in the whole world. Strange how certain events and "anniversaries" should not be so poignant after three years and yet in some respects they hit even harder with age..... I don't think this particular event is like cheese or certain alcohol in that it is not aging well with time, especially considering the lonnnnggggg and another L word three years it has been What a fuck next week is, ah well, time dilation where are ya when I need you One of my favorite quotes of all time - kinda fits with my curious/questioning nature and is a base foundation for who I am :P "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries me...

Welllll - I am in Arizona as my second oldest sister is getting married tomorrow. There is lots of comedy, drama and ooohhh and ahhs (and holy shits and no F* ing ways too) and I am staying in my nephews room, a shrine to Hilary Duff - I will not comment on that any more at this point :P The rehearsal yesterday was weird. My sister knows weird people - I was loving watching everything. Then the rehearsal was livened up as my one nephew fell in the little fish pond - OMG it was so funny but not - you know - luckily they had extra clothes and such but mannnnn funny to watch my sister turn beet red and get even more nervous before her wedding - hehe - of course I had been with the kids as we looked at the snails and fish and stuff... but then I went off and look one of them falls in :P Our aunt and uncle from Florida came out and are driving everyone crazy (and man the aunt is nosy - we had bags from shopping and she was going through them and my sister's fridge and e...

when on the way to teach my lab at the college this morning (at the wonderful time of 7am so i can get to my lab for 8am start) I had to stop in the middle of the road as a flock of turkeys were crossing the street - yuppers about 16 of them and I could not tell if they were wild turkeys or if one of the farmers on the farms I was driving by would end up being a little miffed was - ok drum roll please - as their turkey's had flown the coop - hahahah yes I am so stupid and dorky but I think I am funny :P watching Art school Confidental - that is a weird movie and has parts that make me laugh out loud - :Pour contract at work was approved - dental, eyecare and a small raise - hurray...... now if my job is just there for next year.....

OK damn it either snow all out or nothing - this just enough in the morning and then evening when i have to drive and get tense and nervous and shout obscenities at the mirror and my jack cat and wonder woman doll and guitar pin in my car as i try to drive is just starting to get old... and now maybe ice shit is coming too and not when it would keep us out oh no it is waiting until I am OUT - again I say let it come but just do it at night so in morning I am trapped... crap stuff... actually again it is not the snow per se but that I have to go and drive... feck, fook and the other f word.....

OK - I understand the ideal of free speech, democracy, and commercialism. I also understand nothing is free, especially the Internet, which we all take for granted as being free, but it is not, we all pay for it. BUTTTTTTTTTTTT - there are different ways to pay and I have one in particular I am getting a little peeved at. Some sites support themselves by allowing ads and spam and the like. My email accounts are all full of junk as is my regular mailbox and answering machine - ok - I deal - BUTTTTTTTTTTT I pay for the site I keep my story website on through my cable Internet..... I ALSO PAY for the tagboard I have at the bottom of my site so people can leave me comments about the stories I and others wrote or other things (PS feel free non spammer people to leave messages and comments and discuss said stories and so on) Recently I have noticed a trend - spammers have created a new spambot - I know there are programs that people run and it sends the spam out into the world with a few key...

Well had my first Environmental science lab today, I think it went well. I really felt the lecture I did went well and the students seemed to get into the activity. Of course I am probably the only one getting excited and upbeat at 8 in the morning (yes the lab is 8 – 2 although not every Saturday) talking about graphing and the metric system and independent variables and dependant variables and yes, well stop whispering geek already… :oP So lab should be fun as well as the lecture, the class so far seems to be a good group. Of course I need to see how many students come back next week. I also found a most annoying item – the current McDonald's happy meal has this line of toys from a cartoon series. And one of the toys is a character that if you push its arm down, it makes armpit fart noises. I kid you not. And let me just say, it is a very, very evil thing….. Been keeping busy at work, managed to push out a few projects so almost have some breathing room. There are a few...

Right now I am watching Joe Vs the Volcano - it is one of my favorite movies. I find I like weird movies - not thoughtful or thought provoking or cinematic art or such... but weird dork movies. My favorites include things like Drop Dead Gorgeous Joe Vs the Volcano Hudson Hawk So I Married an Axe Murder Love, Actually Spoof movies in general (Vincent Price was in a spoof movie or two, can you name them) and such - actually I like a ton of movies and will not list them here but the currently being watched movie - dang I just laugh out loud and stand in front of the TV and the dialogue damn there are great quotes and I like it because you have to watch it - I mean I usually multitask and do this and that and that and this - but Joe is as much visual as it is audio Actually if you watch it with the sound down it tells a story and then listen only you get a different but neat story too (yes I have done both) But the allegory, allusion, illusion, and visual references in J V t V is incredi...

Funny how sometimes a song can capture your feelings and say them to the world so much better than you ever could. COuld tell people certain things you would never dare to.

I hit Philadelphia today as the first of my 4-pack set Broadway at the Academy. The Kimmel Center has this 4 pack deal going on. So the first one was Pippen and it was not at the Kimmel Center - for some reason they had it at the Forrest Theater. First the venue was cool. A nice, theater and they gave me Row A seat 101 - damn, I was at the orchestra pit railing and could see the stage and the musicians - it was so Awesome. I liked looking down watching them play an watched them as much as the musical. Ok the musical - I think much of it left me in WTF land. I have to say the storyline/musical was weirddddd and had me using that acronym quite a lot. When they started dousing the main character in gasoline, I was okkkkaaayyyyy this is art.... and the couple of simulated sex scenes (oh boy..... those were intense and lots of eye candy.... lots.... but then again the story is about obsess, excess and unfulfillment) and the war scene had me going hooo boyyy. Again - the feel of the pla...

I updated my music blog - go here - http://www.xanga.com/nemodoryismyidol I too lazy to copy and paste it here

I need to get and sit and really catch up - one of these days, I will, honest... ah well - always IM me if you really wanna know what is going on and want to subject yourself to a julie ramble - lol The trip finished out to be great - I should have pictures up on my web site soon - I have some now but more coming A major excitement for me and one of those things you do and remember for the rest of your life (well I do because I am a dork and well that's what I like to do - seek out silly, weird, dorky adventure( But I got to be a balloon handler of a real Macy's day parade balloon (Universal's daily afternoon parade is a recreation of the Macy's day parade) - they are the actual balloons from the New York parade - they fly them down for Universal to use - I was on the Lead red star - the F*ing first balloon of the whole parade - it was a most awesome experience and no the balloon was not that heavy - no shorty or flying away or wizard of Oz or whatever puns or jokes The...

Whew – I made it Spent about 26 hours on the road driving over 1000 miles down to Orlando – it would not have taken me quite as much time, but the traffic was baddddd in a few places I literally managed about 20 miles an hour at best. Plus I needed a little sleep – so I did pull off and stop at a few rest stops for cat naps. Add in my small bladder and the fact I tend to drink more on a road trip as it helps with the driving and such. Saw a lot of neat stuff on the trip – there was a bathroom experience – whew – just remind me never to go off the beaten path or further then two feet from the Interstate regardless of how bad I have to go…. It is interesting the way rest stops are designed - I also found the pattern of where they were were part predictable - always one right after crossing a state line and totally, why did they build two 40 miles between sometimes and 70 or more other times - I also liked watching the different trucks and what they were hauling. Did pack in a couple hou...

Man does that suck to be in Denver airport right now - to be stuck in an airport or such when trying to get home - also it is hard kinda for me to really grasp and understand how backed up something can get when it is still 3 days until Xmas and yet this clip says some people will not get to where they need to go - wow - brings home how reliant we are on certain thngs... http://www.weather.com/multimedia/videoplayer.html?clip=4911&nav=84&collection=topstory&from=wxcenter_video

Started sunday by taking little one to Storybook Land - this is a small place in Southern NJ that has a mixture of rides and storybook land character houses and things - it's been around for over 50 years and has that quaint charm - although little one likes the rolelr coaster (this time we only did it about 7 times including one 3 in a row stretch) and the tilt a whirl (also known as the "this is gonna make me hurl" - which I managed not to do). We saw Santa, saw the lights and visited every single character thing (she loves those almost as much as the thrill rides). Monday i visited the doctor for follow up and received great news - my blood work was perfect - no sugar probs, no cholesteral and so on. The blood pressure was down too so only have to monitor that. The rest of this week will be filled with grading, reports, training and assorted work as I round out the week before the holidays - then off until Jan. 3 - trying to cook something up to take advantage of my ...

Ok so taking a brief break here at work listening to my live365 radio account The last few songs New Found Glory - It's Not Your Fault 13 Stories - Christmas Makes Me Hot Evanescence - Weight of the World Alanis Morissette - Crazy Lostprophets - Rooftops Carbon Leaf - Life Less Ordinary Avril Lavigne - Keep Holding On I listen to a lot of different types of radio stations through Live365 and like the variety it offers (where else can you find a radio station that broadcasts nothing but the different songs and such from different Disney theme park attractions – haha yes I know you are asking who would listen to that :-D Finished my Alternate Route Education classes last night – no more of those until January.
