I think I'm going to have to send "Seven Samurai" back unwatched. I've had it since the end of April, and simply cannot find 3 1/2 hours to sit down and watch a film. I'm too distracted by other things right now.

Nice thing is, once it gets back there, I just put it back in the list and maybe reshuffle it somwhere.

Wow, Final Fantasy VII is... very dark. I've left Midgar and stowed away on the President's ship to the Western Continent. Along the way I've learned a bit about Sephiroth and the Cetra, and Jenova, and this is going somewhere completely insane by the time it's over. Should be a hell of a ride.

MY INCISION ITCHES!!!

GAH!

Must... not... scratch...

Friday, May 28, 2004

Climate movie favors fantasy over fact.

Well, no shit, Sherlock. It's A MOVIE. MOOOO-VEEEEEE. Ya know, not real? As in, doesn't have to favor fact?

Sheesh...

From my evaluation -

Additional Comments: Jennifer came to us with a wealth of experience plus an undergraduate degree in Math & Computer Science. Her experience and education far exceeds that of her peers and in the position she presently fills. This has resulted in some conflict, petty sniping and some exclusion in social situations from her peers. In all of this she has never complained nor has she let it affect her work or demeanor. She is very well thought of and respected by her upper echelons and most users. Her personality tends to defuse hostile and stressed situations. I’ve had many positive comments about her from attorneys in particular.

Jennifer displays great leadership qualities & I am hopeful we can retain her here for a long time.
Well, did it. Hit 500 on NetFlix. I think I need to not go to that webpage for, oh, a year. ;-)
OK, I think I've got the comment thing worked out. If not, Blogger's getting an email. ;-)
Testing... your attention please... the tension soon as someone mentions me...

(checking the comments thing)
Added a comments thing. We'll see how long it lasts.

Whoo! Made it most of the way through the day (I'll probably get out of here 30 minutes early). That's despite the main server crashing twice in the last 90 minutes, and the web server taking frequent smoke breaks. I don't feel too bad, actually.
Found this on Kurt's blog.

Holy shit, this is funny. I shouldn't be laughing this hard, considering I got cut open a week ago, but I can't help it. Go read it.
Watching Raven try to play Mario Kart (or something like that) at the Game Stop yesterday was too cute. She's 6 1/2 (and very insistant on the 1/2) and quite the adorable blonde freckled little girl. One of the guys in the shop showed her how to hold the controller and move the thing around, and hilarity insues as she careens off walls and goes very fast in the wrong direction. Then we went to the library and she signed herself up for the summer reading program. Then we go to the Thai Lotus for their lunch buffet and she uses chopsticks.

I'll be heading in to work today... we'll see how long that lasts. ;-)

The removal of the staples was about as pleasant as you can expect. :-p Fortunately, my wound did not start stretching open immediately afterwards, so I can look forward to 2 - 3 weeks of steri-strips over the site.

The stitches around the stoma dissolve in a couple of weeks.

I'm crazy/bored enough to try to go to work tomorrow.

Monday, May 24, 2004

RIP Owen Hart.

I wonder what you'd be doing now.

Sunday, May 23, 2004

Sorry I didn't type more while I was in the hospital, but it's hard to do so when you have an IV needles stuck in the back of your hand.

I'm doing OK. I'm in some pain, but not a lot of pain, and it's getting easier to move each time I try. I have staples from my belly button on down, stitches around my stoma, some scratches and abrasions on my abdomen, a hellacious bruise on my right arm from a heparin shot, and a smaller bruise on the inside of my right elbow from a blood draw. My stomach muscles are weak (coughing is a joke), and my back muscles are tight from holding myself funny.

But the fistula is gone. Removed. Not coming back. And there's no sign of inflammation anywhere else, so it wasn't Crohn's. I'll pay this price gladly.

twiddling thumbs

I hate waiting for the doctor...

Friday, May 21, 2004

Surgery went fine.

I should be home tomorrow.

I've got 2 1/2 inches of staples in me.

Will type more once they take the IV out of the back of my hand.

Wednesday, May 19, 2004

The bills are paid, I've showed and shaved, I'm packed.

"Let's get it on!"

Tuesday, May 18, 2004

I'm here slowly enjoying my last cup of coffee. It'll be days before I get another one, or at least another decent one. Sorry, but my coffee is NOT a clear liquid. Neither is Dad's, who taught me to make coffee. Neither was Grandma's, who's coffee was perfectly capable of more intelligent thought that most people.

I'm alright
Nobody worry 'bout me
Why you wanna give me a fight?
Why don't you just let me be?


Things to do today: (other than the prep stuff, which starts full force at noon) watch "King of Texas" or "Seven Samurai"; watch "Kenshin"; shave (it's the polite thing to do); finish up some laundey (so I have all my scrubs to take to the hospital); update my MP3 player.

And if the prep gets bad, I've got Phenergan, anti-nausea medicine that is gaurenteed to knock you out.

Monday, May 17, 2004

Damn, I wish I had DSL right about now... I'm feeling the need for some random JPop. Inspired by FF X-2, no doubt.
A report from the University of South Carolina says the state needs to do more to assure racial equality.

Well, no shit, Sherlock. You taken a peek inside the upper echelons of state government lately? Or the rosters of the biggest law firms (mine included, unfortunately)? How's about who's on top in USC?
Egads... there has either been some weird reverse-evaporation of this old whiskey, leaving nothing BUT the alcohol behind, or I'm WAAAY out of practice drinking this stuff...

NOAA says we're all gonna die this summer or something. Didn't they say this last year?
*pours a shot*

I figure this is my last chance to get drunk for a while, might as well take it. ;-)

Oh, and I'm ticked at myself. I didn't even think to check about whether or not old PS1 games could save on PS2 memory cards. The answer is no. I'll have to get one and start FF VII over.
BOOK 10:
Agememnon: Damn, what am I going to do? Menelaos, wake up!
Menelaos: What, you want someone to go look at the Trojans?
Agememnon: We need a plan. Go wake up the captains and meet us by the sentries.
Menelaos: OK.
Agememnon: Hey, Nestor wake up!
Nestor: What?
Agememnon: We need a plan.
Nestor: OK, go round up Diomedes, Aias, and the rest and let's go plan. Wake up, Diomedes!
Diomedes: What, damnit, I was sleeping.
Nestor: Meeting time
Nestor: OK, let's send a couple of folks out to the Trojan camp to spy. Any volunteers?
Diomedes: Oh, me! I'll go!
Nestor: OK, pick a partner
Diomesdes: I choose you, Odysseus!
Odysseus: Sweet, let's go! Athena, watch over me, OK?
Diomedes: Yeah, me too
Hector: Hmmm, we should send someone to go spy on them. The winner will get a chariot and two good horses from the Greeks after we kill them all.
Dolon: OH! Pick me!
Hector: OK, have fun
Odyssues: Hey, who's that sneaking off? Let's go get him!
Dolon: EEEK! *runs*
Diomedes: *throws spear and pins him to the ground*
Dolon: *cries* Don't kill me!
Odysseus: We won't if you tell us what you were doing out here.
Dolon: Spying! Hector would give me a prize for spying!
Odysseus: Oh really? Where's Hector?
Dolon: Holding a meeting over behind that funeral mound
Odysseus: And how is everyone camped out?
Dolon: Well, these Thracians just showed up ove there... Now, can we go so you can hold me for random?
Diomedes: SUCKER! *kills Dolon*
Odysseus: OK, there's the guys like he said, let's kill them and steal their horses
Diomedes: OK
Thracians: *die*
Nestor: Hey, what am I hearing, a lot of horses?
Odysseus: Lookit what we did!
Greeks: *cheer*
DAD HAS A JOB!!!!
Thursday I couldn't get to here from work, Friday I was home feeling sorry for myself, Saturday was Wildside, yesterday was Troy.

Life happens.

Today is a long day at work, tomorrow is prep, Wednesday is surgery.

Life goes on.
BOOK 9:
Agememnon: OK, let's go home
Diomedes: Say what?
Nestor: Look, let's go eat and hold council.
Greeks: OK
Nestor: Ya know, you should make up with Achilles, we need him around.
Agememnon: You're right. I'll give him 7 girls, tons of gold, one of my own daughters to marry, and 20 girls other than Helen when we sack Troy.
Nestor: Sounds good. OK, Phoinix, Aias, and Odysseus, go talk to him
P, A, O: OK
Achilles: Dudes! Good to see you! Here, eat something.
Odysseus: Thanks. Now, look, Agememnon is gonna give you a bunch of uber-l00t, will you come back a fight?
Achilles: No
Phoinix: come on, Achilles, I raised you from a baby boy, you know better than this, come back!
Achilles: No
Aias: Oh, the hell with him, let's go
Achilles: Yeah, go tell Agememnon he sucks and I won't come help.
Agememnon: Well?
Odysseus: No go.
Diomedes: That jerk! Well, we'll just do without him.
BOOK 8:
Zeus: All right. I'm going to go down there. Anyone else come down there, I'll kill you. Comprende?
Athena: *pouts*
Zeus: *holds up scales* OK, today the Greeks lose. *zaps Greeks*
Greeks: *flee*
Diomedes: Hey, come back here!
Zeus: *zaps Greeks*
Nestor: Diomedes, let's go
Diomedes: But they'll call me names!
Nestor: Who cares, let's GO!
Hector: You wimp!
Diomedes: grrrrr...
Zeus: *zaps Diomedes*
Diomedes: OK, we go
Hector: Woo-hoo! Let's go get 'em!
Hera: *whines*
Poseidon: Nope, not crossing Zeus, don't even ask.
Trojans: *kill*
Agememnon: Come on, you dogs, fight!
Zeus: OK, enough interfering for one day
Agememnon: Teukros, can't you shoot Hector?
Teukros: I'm trying, but he's cheating *kills Gorgythion*
Hector: ARG! *kills Teukros*
Trojans: *kill*
Greeks: *flee*
Hera: DAMNIT, I can't take anymore! Let's go, Athena
Athena: Sounds like a plan
Zeus: Isis, remind them that that's not a good idea.
Isis: OK. Have you two lost your minds? Hera, this is normal for you, but Athena, you really should know better.
Hera: Um, change of plan, let's go
Zeus: Awww, are you two pouting?
Hera: Shut up, old man
Zeus: Oh, calm down, it won't go on forever
Hector: OK, night time, let's party out here
Trojans: Sounds like a plan!

Boss walks in loftily telling me that a document someone's having problems with is not an old document, and that "looking into these things with VNC helps".

FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU. You know fucking well I don't pass on shit without VNCing someone. Besides, how the fuck did I get the screenshot of the error on her screen if I wasn't VNC'd into her computer?

I need a new job.
I'm in a bad mood today. Probably the thunderstorm that's been going on for the last three hours. Probably also the fact that users are being rude and about to make me want to kill them. Probably also because I'm broke and want to go eat out, but I really don't want to put any more on my credit card than I already have.

I want to go home. I've got the FF X soundtrack playing. I want to go back to Spira, see Auron, smack around Seymour, and shelter Yuna.

Menelaos: Y'all suck, I'll do it
Agememnon: No, you can't! We'll get someone else to do it.
Nestor: Man, y'all suck. If I was younger, I'd go kick his ass.
Agememnon: OK, we'll draw lots.
Aias: Sweet! I win! I get to kick his ass! Hey, Hector, that moper Achilles isn't our only champion!
Hector: Aw, shut up and bring it.
Aias: *fight*
Hector: *fight*
Idaios: Hmmm, this could go on forever, and it's about eating time. All right, boys, break it up, that's enough!
Aias: Make him stop first
Hector: OK, it's chow time, we'll do this again later. Here's my sword.
Aias: Here's my loin-cloth, see ya later.
Trojans: *feast*
Greeks: *feast*
Nestor: Ya know, we really should do something about all those dead bodies out there.
Greeks: Good idea
Antenor: Let's give Helen and all the treasure back, we're gonna lose
Paris: I'll give back the treasure, but Helen stays
King Priam: Look, let's go eat. Idaios, go down to the Greeks and see if we can spend a day getting our dead.
Idaios: Hey, Greeks, we'll give up the treasure, but not Helen. And can we burn our dead tomorrow?
Agememnon: We take all or nothing. And yeah, take a day to burn the dead.
Greeks: *burn dead*
Trojans: *burn dead*
Greeks: *build moat and wall around ships*
Poseidon: They built a wall and didn't sacrifice to me?!?
Zeus: Would you shut up? You can tear it down when they're done.

Closed the Dell Preferred account. Looked at the last statement and realized that the interest is 26.25%. Also, if I end up needing to finance a new heating and air system, I don't need that account (which I haven't used in forever) hanging out there.

To be honest, I don't really like any of the new templates, so I'll keep this one. I'm also lazy, so that way I don't have to re-do all my linkage. ;-)
Whoa. This new Blogger set-up might take some getting used to. More later.

I am never ordering from Jimmy John's again.

First, the guy shows up and tells me they don't take checks. Um, since when?

So then he calls in my debit card number. Now, 30 minutes later, he hasn't shown up with the slip for me to sign.

I finally (thanks for taking a 20 minute break when I go to lunch, Sandra) take a sip of the tea, and it's sweet tea, not unsweet. I call them, they say the guy has already left. She waffles about what they can do about it.

I know what I'm going to do about it...

edited to add: OH! And the fuckers don't bring napkins.
CHARACTER LIST (QUITE helpful!) I've printed this out so I can keep track of who's who. Working on Book 3 now. ;-) When I'm done, I'll clean it up and have it up in order for you to ignore. ;-)
The Iliad, Book 2, the short form

Zeus: *sends dreams*
Nestor-dream: Leave here, Agamemnon
Agememnon: Dream says leave, see ya!
Soldiers: Huh?
Hera: *whines*
Athena: OK, I'll stop them. Hey, Odysseus, don't let them leave
Odysseus: OK. Ya'll stop.
Thersites: Yoo suck, I wanna go home
Odysseus: *whack*
Thersites: *cries*
Odysseus: What's up, Agememnon?
Agememnon: It's Zeus's fault! We'll stay.
Soldiers: Huh?
Agememnon: *slaughers ox* Hey, Zeus, yoo rule, can we win?
Zeus: We'll see.
Greeks: *march on Troy*
Isis: Hector, go kick their asses!
Hector: OK
I'm reading The Iliad, and I think I can make it into a thing like the Silmarilion in 1000 words of less thing.

BOOK 1:
Agamemnon: Want chick!
Khyses: Give her back
Agamemnon: Want chick!
Khyses: Apollo, he won't give daughter back!
Apollo: *kills Greeks*
Achilles: Give chick back!
Agamemnon: OK, but give me your chick instead
Achilles: *pouts* Mom, he stole my chick!
Thetis: *sigh* Hang on. Zeus, punish Agamemnon
Zeus: *sigh* Hera will hate me, but OK
Hera: ZEUS!
Zeus: Shut up, Hera

OK, this one takes a little explaining, so bear with me. A week or so ago, a user sent an email to the Help Desk saying that every time she turned on her computer, she got a bunch of errors before she could log in and it was making her late clocking in. I called her, but she couldn't remember what any of them were, so I told her to call the next time she tried to log in so we could see them.

Monday I sent her an email asking if she was still having problems, since I hadn't heard from her. She said they were still coming up, and to get around it she simply never turned off her computer. And that point, I turned it over to my boss, since she wasn't being cooperaive.

The person's boss, a really bitchy lawyer, sent an email to my boss saying that I had told the user to print out the errors, and that I often didn't have answers so they would go to Stephanie.

Mr. Bill is ticked. He says that if they were going to Stephanie, she should have been coming to me or him. He thinks that she's putting me down again to other people, like she did right after I got here.

And there's no other jobs for me to leave here and take instead. *sigh* I hate this shit.

OB/GYN appointments suck. They're painful. But I don't dare skip them, not since I had a bad pap 6 years ago and ended up needing the bad cells frozen off.

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favorite line of the song. (stolen from Tam)
1) "Lately I've been in a life-locked limbo / Looking out of this smudged-up window"
2) "There are stars in the Southern Sky / And if ever you decide you should go / There is a time-sweetened honey / Down the Seven Bridges Road"
3) "There's a little black spot on the sun today / It's the same old thing as yesterday"
4) "Only time will tell / You think you're in heaven / But you're living in Hell"
5) (instrumental song)
6) "Some things never seem to change"
7) "Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time / Said up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams and make them mine"
8) "He can see that she's been there / Probably been moved out from every place / 'Cause she didn't fit in there"
9) (another instrumental)
10) "I believe in Kingdom Come / When all the colors will bleed into one"
11) " 'Cause, Momma, I'm hard to handle, now"
12) "Well, I'm gonna show you, baby / That a woman can be tough"
13) "But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life"
14) "At night I hear the blood in my veins / Just as black and whispery as the rain"
15) "I got down on my knees / And I pretend to pray"
16) Hmmm... this one I don't listen to the lyrics so much as the bounse-y beat
17) "It's over / Oh yes, it's all over / And it's been a long time coming / Some say it's too long"
18) "I've packed my bags / Cleaned the floor / Watch me walking / Walking out the door"
19) "In the day / Nothing matters / It's the night time that matters"
20) "Turn around and see you in a crowded place / Watch for the emotions on a gaurded face"
