I think I've done something wrong with my chocobo breeding in FF VII. I can't seem to get Good and Great Cho's anymore... all I get is average. I may have to quit this, play something else, then start over.
I also need Vin Diesel posters. *nods self*

| How to make a JLSigman |
| Ingredients: 5 parts intelligence 1 part crazyiness 3 parts |
| Method: Stir together in a glass tumbler with a salted rim. Serve with a slice of lovability and a pinch of salt. Yum! |
I have to laugh at the last one... 3 parts what? I'm sure others can fill that in in many different ways.

Time for me to start getting on the ball about watching my NetFlix DVDs... the first disc of the first season of "Star Trek: Deep Space 9" is on the way. I plan to make my way through all 7 seasons, one disc at a time. I've got them coming every 3rd disc, with much anime one-shots and movies in between.
And I'm on disc 3 of FF VII, with FF Tactics, FF VIII, and Xenosaga waiting in the wings.
And I'm one of the leaders of my clan on Aardwolf, which means I do have to log in there at least daily to keep up with things.
And I need to go to work. And sleep.
I think I need at least 5 more hours in the day. :-p Or I need to hit the lottery.

Nichols more committed to religion, sister testifies, so everyone should be nice to him.
Fuck off. Him "finding God" doesn't change the fact he helped bomb 160+ people to death.

Bah, now I know why I woke up in a foul mood... I should be in St. Petersburg at the Jefferson Memorial tournament, seeing Jeremy Lopez wrestle for the first time in almost 2 years.
Instead, I'm stuck here with negative personal leave.

I'll be right there"

2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
13. Glibido: All talk and no action. See also, Amarosa.
14. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
15. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

And the pick of the literature:

Final Fantasy VII rant ahead, do feel free to skip if you're not interested.
I'm just at the beginning of disc 2, and my main thought is, "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?"
Jenova isn't an Ancient, but an alien? So Sephiroth is maybe half-Ancient half-Jenova? And WTF is up with Cloud? "You are..... a puppet." A puppet for whom? I'm so confused...
And I hope my snowboarding time/score doesn't have too much of an effect on the game. Man, I brought teh suck to that. ;-)

Patroclus: Ooh, sounds interesting...

I took the time to go through my NetFlix queue, and I ended up deteling about 10 - 15 films. If I went, "What movie is that?" and then looked at the synopsis and said, "Why the heck did I pick this?" I removed it. Down to 487 now, I think. ;-)
I also sent a freebie trial to my parents. Might as well share the addiction. ;-)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

P, A, O: OK

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.

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.

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"

So I'm noodling around Chudah's Corner, looking for the "Suteki da ne?" lyrics. Found those, messed around some more. Found a translation of "Liberi Fatali", from FF VIII. Damn, they rock... proves just what a genius Uematsu is.
Liberi Fatali , english translation, Nobuo Uematsu
Wake from your sleep, my children
You're childhood years are gone
Wake from your sleep, my children
Your rest is gone
Arise
Search
Go to the true garden
The garden of spring's truth
With fiery truth
Burn the evils of the world
With fiery truth
Light the darkness of the world
Farewell, children
The day has died

People to call:
1) OB/GYN, to get Depo prescription before Monday
2) Dr. Stohecker, since his office completely fubar'd the insurance filing
3) Baptist hospital, to set up the pre-surgery stuff
4) PAI, to find out how to tell these idiots to file the insurance right so it goes to PAI, and not to my defunct state health plan

Not having good times right now. :-p
I'm looking at what's ahead in FF X-2, and I may have to start over again. The guide I have says you need to be about level 65 to hit the Farplane. I'm about 20 levels below that. :-p
Ever wanted to spend a whole day drunk? I did that once in college... drank vodka and did vodka jello shooters and basically stayed out of my skull the whole Saturday. One girl told me to my face I was beautiful in that condition.
Lord knows I'm not feeling beautiful now, with this damn fistula giving me 9 kinds of hell because of the fistulagram.
I'm also gaining some weight. Which is worrying me a little.
Any comments about that not being a problem will get you smacked.

Some magazine I've never heard of puts out a 50 worst songs list
Some of them I can understand. But please explain to me why the fuck "The Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle is on that list?!?!?

Duke's cutting 8am classes to help sleep deprived students.
Bah. Wimps. The students need to learn that can't party all the time. A few F's for not showing up will learn them.

No offense, but what kind of irony is it when the CEO of McDonald's dies unexpectedly of a heart attack?

I'm going shooting with my boss again today. Sounds like a great way to release stress. He also said something about there "being a crowd". I think he's been bragging on me, or something. That, or everyone who's seen the target up in my office wants to see if it was really me shooting. ;-)
edited to add PS: Yes, I know, I promised pictures. Mom got a free digital camera when Dad got his new laptop, and it's at my house. I just need to break out of this funk and do something with it.

Otherworld Nobuo Uematsu
Go on if you want it.
An otherworld awaits you
Don't you give up on it.
You bite the hand that feeds you.
All alone cold fields you wander
Memories of it, cloud your sight
Fills your dreams, disturbs your slumber
Lost your way, a fallen knight
Hold now, aim is steady
An otherworld awaits you.
One thousand years--you ready?
The otherworld it takes you
Go into the sand and the dust in the sky
Go now, there's no better plan than to do or to die
Free me pray to the faith in the face of the light
Feed me fill me with sin now get ready to fight
You know you will
You know you will
You know you know you know you know that you will
You know you know you know you know that you will
Fight fight fight
Fight fight fight
Fight fight fight
Hope dies and you wander
The otherworld it makes you
Dreams they rip asunder
The otherworld it hates you
Free now ride up on it
Up to the heights it takes you
Go on if you want it.

The radiology group at Palms of Pasadena hospital is in big trouble now.
Friday afternoon I faxed a request for them to OVERNIGHT my films to the surgeon up here.
I call the surgeon's office this morning, they haven't gotten them.
I call the radiology group, they sent them IN THE REGULAR MAIL. God only knows when they'll get to my surgeon.
I am not amused.

If Dawn and I were a tag team, I think this would be our entrance music. If we weren't using something from FF X. Like "Otherworld". Or Seymour's psycho fight music. Or some of the hauntingly painful piano music that lets you know all along this isn't a happy ending.
"Can't Not", by Alanis Morissette
I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed
I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation
Would I be letting you win in my non reaction?
How would I explain?
How would I explain this to my children if I had them?
Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't afford to be misread one more time...

CNN.com has a poll asking who's to blame for the rising gas prices, cut backs in production or environmental laws.
How about c) the gas companies, who know that most Americans are so addicted to their SUV's and other gas guzzlers, and who absolutely cannot carpool or anything like that, will pay whatever it takes without really doing anything about it.
