OMG - Happy Birthday, fuji_fujiwara!


*struggling to hold on to money for plane ticket for Hyde Park (still several hundred dollars short) - April is the worst month, with car insurance AND taxes

*becoming increasingly isolated, both by choice AND circumstance

*doubting Spring will ever arrive

*vitamin d! yoga! put your money where your mouth is!

*'I drink to our ruined house, to the pain of my life, to our loneliness, together.' - from the russian poem, 'The Last Toast', as translated by Brian McCook on the podcast, 'Whimsically Volatile', Episode 3, 'Discipline'

*my ringtone for work:

Star Trek and Peanut Chews - Can I get an, 'Amen' up in here?

*clinging to sanity

The Ugly: Dreams. Terrifying. Involving certain folks, 'back from the dead', with SUCH scary eyes, full of bright, snapping hatred, and with a gang, like, 'The Claimers', from The Walking Dead - and, for some reason, I had to live with them, and just knew, that, at their first opportunity, they were going to kill me. Their eyes were liek - can't even describe them, but they made me think of shiny magazine paper. I haven't really feared death for years, now, doing what I do for a living - but upon awakening, I did, because I didn't want to meet up with him/them and all that hatred. Yikes. WTF does it mean? Like I said before, things are speeding up, coming on, fast.

Here. Have some Carl :

Damn. I know the man's 83, himself, but..can't you make an effort, Bill? Maybe fly out right after? Idk. I am no one to judge anyone.

These are incredible. For the, 'Man-Eating Plant', alone - not to mention the console, which could almost double as an Apollo Era-style Mission Control console if one used their imagination ;) Retro-'Beepin' and Boopin'' delight! Love the ominous music, as well.

My brother and I woulda played the HELL out of this shit, lol.

A little help from my friend..( Read more... )

* If anyone knows what sort of trees the DEVO trees are, I'd be much obliged. I love them, and have always referred to them as, 'DEVO trees', but that description won't fly in the real world, I expect. :) *

Thanks to ontd_startrek for the heads-up. Unfortunately, my poverty prevents me from getting tickets to the early May 15th 3D showing - SOLD OUT, EVERYWHERE! - but..this almost makes up for it. :)

So. INSTANT SUMMER. It's 75F, out there. Hmm.

My son surprised me with a couple of VW FRISBEES! Now, we can go to the park near my daughter's and play frisbee golf - and take the cats! I know I stink at it, but who cares? He and I will each keep one in our cars, at all times. You never know when the opportunity may strike..And speaking of the cats..sort of..I want to get my dear little Neil a collar and leash and start taking him to werk to visit some of the residents. He is so well-mannered, it's unreal. Mister Buzz, however, is NOT - and will NOT get to go; he was a very bad boy, last night, and ran all over creation, outside - TOTAL ringleader for the others. :/ Tiberius is a possibility - such a sweetie, he is. What a face, on that guy.

Off tomorrow, as I have my yearly OSHA seminar all day on Wednesday. Going to Tabby's to do some simple IT for her - gonna 'fix' her email, update some stuffs, and install CCleaner, VLC media, and Defraggler. If I get cocky, and all goes well - I will install the Pale Moon browser, as it has some great security add-ons. We shall see. We, ourselves, are locked up, pretty tight.

STINKBUGS! ALREADY!

Gettin' REAL creative, here, being so poor, this month. I just made the most divine pizza with farmer's cheese, purple onion and (half) olives. I always take my lunch to werk, anyway - I STILL ADORE MY ISS LUNCHBAG - tonight's menu features peach slices with banana slices, the last of the venison and wild rice, and some dark chocolate-dusted almonds. I also have some, 'emergency beans' a-goin' in the triple-threat crockpot. ONCE AGAIN, my 'Apocalypse Storeroom' proves its worth.

TERRIFIED to get my taxes done, on Saturday.

Then, the gigantic whammo! of car insurance by the 24th.

As soon as I get my insurance card from werk (I never replaced it when my wallet was stolen), I am getting GLASSES. HUZZAH. I've always wanted them, and my daughter and I had a wild old time, trying on various pairs, yesterday. Can't wait.

♥ this so much:

A) Where did the weekend GO? I met all my organization/chore goals, and THEN some - and am presently rewarding myself with an on-again/off-again marathon of full-episodes of, Captain Scarlet on YouTube.

I just don't know what it is about 'retro-science-futuristic'-stuff that both fascinates and soothes me, but it does. I mean..TOS; to me, there is no other Trek, really....Kraftwerk..My full-on Mercury/Gemini/Apollo addiction...DEVO...Captain Scarlet..Anything antique-y space-y/sci-fi, and I'm there. We're so far ahead of most of the technologies shown/used - and yet, I'm rubbernecking backwards at pioneers. Hmm.

B) Sometimes, I forget to admit/acknowledge that Pete and I are cut from essentially the same raggedy, diaphanous, multi-hued cloth - both a blessing and an insanely irritating curse. Tonight, however, I realized that there's a really HUGE difference between us, but that because of it - we just might actually work.

C) Love my new VW shower curtain. :)

D) Tee hee: ( Read more... )
