Speaking of cleaning, I've got this kickass old Kirby vaccuum that's a champ at getting cat hair out of the rug without being clogged. I need to clean the indent in the carpet by the patio door however, and for the life of me I can't figure out where the attachments are supposed to go on the damn thing! WTF??? It can't be the connection of the machine part to the bag, because the bag is what holds all the dust...but there's nowhere else! I am confuzzled.
Interjection:
OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! I've probably ranted about this before, but here it is again. You have to hear this! 8-Bit Operators - An 8-Bit Tribute To Kraftwerk. chainedspecter, if you have not heard this/do not own this, there is something wrong with you. Everyone else (like antarellis and maybe saintx), you should really give this a listen. Unfortunately I forgot that I don't have anywhere to post MP3s right now, so I can't upload a song and link to it. So I linked to Amazon for samples of all songs on the album. Btw, this is the coolest thing evar!!!
I am trying very hard to resist playing Warcraft right now...or do anything else to procrastinate for that matter. I'm really good at this. If I really don't want to do something I'll even resort to lying in bed and staring at the ceiling. No lie!
You can't unwatch a bad movie, unsee a disturbing picture, unhear frightening sounds. You can't unlearn information of an enlightening nature. ( You can't undo what was done in the past. )
Goddamit! When are we gonna hear the fucking verdit for Lewis "Scooter" Libby already!?!?!? I don't fucking care about the juror who got dismissed! I wanna know what happens to the defendant!!!!
So the other day my partner in crime told me something I find extremely funny. He was having a conversation with his "Pure As The Driven Snow" coworker the other day, and the exchange went something like this:
"I hurt my arm last night playing with my boyfriend's Wii."
*he snickers, trying hard to keep a straight face*
"What! I'm just not used to all the physical activity!"
If you really want to. Personally, I don't think Orlando Bloom is all that hot. But I'm snickering like a 12-year-old boy over doing stuff like this. I find it hilarious. And it's taking every bit of my self-restraint to post pictures of all of the 80s haristyles you can give these guys. Headbands and all. *snicker*
So, all in all, I spent close to 60 bucks for nigh-frivolous amusement. Happy Valentine's Day to me! :-P (Well, it is giving me something to do besides watching the same DVDs over and over again. And it's saving me from running out to the store and buying a couple that I've been thinking about. Although I might just do that later...)
Don't do it Rose, don't drop 40 bucks on something that you'll obsess over for a month and then drop like an ex-boyfriend. You'll find reasons to stay up past your bedtime and get no sleep for work.
No, I'll be a good little causal player! I promise! And...and...I'll get to play pretty boys! I can dress them up and give them fancy hairdos and make them dance and...
*sigh* My annual plundering of the chocolate aisle will have to wait. My headache came back on the other side of my neck/head and I am exhausted from too many late nights and the consumption of alcohol. I think I shall take a soak in the bath to recover as my parents sent me very thoughtful valentines including a stockpile of Lush bath bombs.
I'm feeling better today, thank goodness. And part of that is because tokalla and onivixen were gracious enough to let me play WoW on their computer for a little while.
OMG this was so much fun! And it turned out almost exactly how I wanted!
It's darker than I planned, and the gold is more transparent than I thought it would be, but all in all it's still pretty frickin cool. I take back everything I said about acrylics. These are lovely and mostly matte, and so gorgeous to work with! All I needed was red and blue with a smidge of yellow. This is also why it's darker than I'd planned to an extent. The red I picked up was "carmine red hue" which is more orange than I wanted, and I had to add a bit of blue to everything. But I just took it all and rolled with it. I love you Winsor & Newton!
Much better than my dream last night, which left me feeling terribly unsettled and off balance all day. I didn't feel like going out or even showering and getting out of my bathrobe.
Although I may have been the only one to realize it. Well, see, there's this great song from the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack that I'm sure at least some of you know...
It was one of my very favorites, but I haven't really heard it since I was a mere 18-year-old in short pants. So I mis-quoted my LJ cut. It's fixed now, though. Although I wonder if anyone else will still get the reference. Trust me, this soundtrack was the thing to listen to back in '97/'98.
This one disturbed me rather muchly. Mostly because I don't want to have a baby, I only did so as a favor to a friend, and even though I didn't have to have responsibility for the child everyone expected me too. Grr. I'll bet these are merely dreams induced by the periodic hormonal imbalance I go through. But still...
I've been remembering a lot more dreams since I've been on my medication. It's kinda neat except when I don't feel like I've gotten any sleep. Obviously I haven't been writing all of them down. Some of them have featured my sweetheart (all G-rated thank-you-very-much) and one of them had his sister-who-is-my-friend in it as well. Odd stuff.
And I just got wind of my 10th year high school graduation. I promised Solona I'd go. I hope that I can. (Hey, it's an excuse to visit home again anyway.)
PS - a neat side effect of my job is that I've suddenly begun to type really fast again, and I've become wicked quick on the draw with my mouse too! Neato! Next thing you know, I'll be using Alt+Tab to shift between my windows (although there is no need for that with my superior Firefox browser).
An unfortunate side effect of my job is trying to shut down my computer by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Delete. The task manager really isn't where you go to shut your machine down. Not so much.
OMG, I've been obsessed with watching Chicago over and over again. Especially Cell Block Tango. This is an amazing musical number, and I'm fascinated by the dancing. I can't stop watching it. (I love the song itself too.) Oh my god, if you haven't seen this yet I entreat you to watch it. This is simply amazing.
And the best thing about this musical in general is that the lead actors do all their own dancing and singing. No, really, they do. I just watched the commentary. *grins*
I had to get my girly girl on yesterday so I made the 54 minute trek to the Fanciest Mall Evar!!
How fancy is this mall?
See that? See that? It's a fireplace, baby. A friggin fireplace in the mall!
And that's not the only one. There's another one in the food court. I didn't make it to the other end of the mall to see if there's one in front of whatever store was down there. (Although, Nordstrom may have monopolized the fireplace action since, well, it's Nordstrom.)
And as I returned triumphantly home from the hunt, I got to take in the nearly-full moon illuminating the snow that blanketed the ground around me and spotted the surrounding mountains. Some things are so beautiful that you just have to pause to take them in. Even if you're in a moving vehicle speeding down the interstate and blasting "Bring It".
