Sweet dreams are made of this Argh I think sleeping in A2's bed gives me nightmares... A couple nights ago I had a dream that a murderer was in the building and there was nothing we could do about it, and then last night I had a dream that we were on this train and we kept seeing bunches of people who had been crushed together by their ceilings, while they'd been at work, and it was really creepy and upsetting, and I was really worried that we were going to suffer the same fate. And then stephan had sex with this girl named Leah in a bathroom stall in a pioneer tour that profited on tourism and on its splash pool. Current Mood:  tired |

And God said "MEME!!!" Step 1: Put your iPod [or whatever] on random. Step 2: Post the 1st line from the first 31 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song (lol). And it doesn't have to be perfect if you can't understand the lyrics word for word(n00b). If the title line is the first line, take the next one. Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from. Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly. Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING! (cheaterzdie) Everyone knows how enamoured I am with my diverse musical tastes. Let's do this thing, baby. ( Cutting is for lovers ) Current Mood:  productiveCurrent Music: See above. |

I can has waves. In this case, the sound of waves rolling up a beach. One wave, two wave, three waves more... Isle Au Haut should have waves, right?? As a child, playing on that beach I never thought copy and paste was the solution. Now, I know!
Now I've done that, I'm going to install "Waves - the program" and wave my ilok at the wavy screen for a total triumvirate of waviness.

T'pau is leaving the hanger I had a good ride on her yesterday and today Greg and Irene are giving me cash in exchange for her. My insurance runs out on the 13th, my Learners on the 17th and no testing slots are available so... I have one less vehicles to insure. Just Phaedra, Ruby and Astrolumeria. I think $5K to the insurance company is enough. Current Mood:  pensiveCurrent Music: Easy Rider |

Hope y'all enjoy them. :) Warning: the twins are not getting any less cute. Those susceptible to such things should get their Joo Janta Peril-Sensitive sunglasses on prior to viewing.

Haaahahahahaha YAY IT is my birthday. And I am at stephan's... We are starting off the new year (20) by being with Stephan. And making some crazy good musics and we also watched some buffy and a lot of stuff online. Didn't see much fireworks at all (only a little tiny bit, in the sky...) and possibly skipped out of work early because Kristin said "Go watch the fireworks!" and we did try and go watch them but couldn't find any and then when we looked for Kristen and the rest, they were gone, so we went home. Helloooo! Can you hear me there? I know you can't! But I won't stop trying, cause I can't stop trying... Current Mood:  Birthday!Current Music: Various prettyasia111 in my head |

Notable blogs I have read: Why Iowa didn't complain http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/7/3/33329/37141Summary: In the wake of recent Iowa flooding, the right wing media has been circulating comparisons between Iowa and New Orleans, which of course aren't racist in the slightest, how dare you even think about such a thing! As you watch the flooding in the Midwest , have you noticed that there are no farmers running around with stolen Plasma TV's, or holding stolen liquor over their heads. There's no looting, or yelling, "Where's Bush?", "Where's FEMA?", "Where's my check?", or "Why isn't the Government out here saving me and my farm?", "I wanna trailer!" As it turns out, the simple reason they weren't yelling for aid was that they didn't have to. Bush showed up before they had to ask. FEMA showed up before they had to ask. The checks showed up before they had to ask. The government was out there saving people and their farms before they had to ask. The trailers were already there. Seems like the right wing didn't just imagine it. There really is a big difference between Iowa and New Orleans. Current Music: There is no house in New Orleans |

QUIXPOST I had a crazy couple dreams just now. In the first one I had a crush on this guy and people said he was bad and doing drugs and then it turned out he was actually using the smoke to send projected images to the Chinese political groups (to make them mad?) he wasn't doing drugs, really, but by that time he was irritated with me for stalking him anyway. It was more like a movie or tv show than real life. Nothing like real life at all. Then i had a dream where I was on SNL and this guy had to eat 20 tater tots at once on the show,and the writers and made him do it in two different sketches to pull a prank on him, and actually the first time, the plot didn't call for him to do it, that was the prank, but he had to do it anyway. Maybe they weren't in that order, the dreams, I mean, or maybe they were And then in a dream a2 and ste and I were all hanging out...I dunno... I have to work A LOT today. Work and work and work and basically nothing else. Blah... My feet are hurting from all this. I should wear better shoes. Current Mood: Want go back to bedCurrent Music: First of may (in my head) |

it's important to hang out with geeks who make you giggle Me: See, in French, there's an accent mark... you know the one that looks like this? (Makes hand shape to indicate ^) Marty: Yeah. Me: Well, in French, that's an accent circonflexe; it often indicates where, over the evolution of the language, an S was dropped. Like in the French word hôtel, it's over the o, because that word would have come from hostel. Marty: Uh huh. Me: So, since the scar on my forehead looks like an upside-down circonflexe, I like to say that that's where I lost an S when I was little. Marty: I see. So you used to be Smichelle? Me: No, I used to be Mischelle, with an S-C-H. So now my circonflexe is over my i. Marty: So why did the French lose all these S's, anyway? War reparations? Me: Nazi invasion. Marty: Ah. Somewhere, deep beneath Berlin, there's a vault... filled with Jewish gold, and French S's. Current Mood:  sleepy |

O is for Overcoming Obstacles It was virtual Friday today, the day before a three-day holiday weekend. Those in the paid workforce all had their brains in countdown-to-recess mode, it seems. I dunno. Anyway, of the dozen or so things I tried to do today, I only failed to accomplish one, and that one was because after four phone calls ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pocketnaomi decided enough was enough and I ought to just give up on trying to find her a dentist that could deal with those missing fillings she has that are starting to cause her significant pain. So, what did I accomplish? About as much as could be done with a pair of phones by one individual while spending over three hours behind the wheel (yay handsfree headsets!), over the course of an eleven hour period, that's what! Such as: Threaded the gatekeepers of a local outpatient treatment program (four calls, two messages, one page) and got my friend who really needs medical help scheduled for an evaluation on Monday. I'm ... learning a lot about just how fubar'd access to urgent-but-not-crisis health care is around here, and I don't like what I'm learning one bit. I may attempt a journalistic writeup of such at some point; partly as catharsis and partly to share lessons learned with others who may be facing similar challenges. We'll see whether I still have the impetus to do so when I have (the luxury of) time to do so.Won the multi-round phone tag with a psychiatrist and got the friend scheduled for a new-patient appointment also, though unfortunately the earliest this doctor could see my friend was at the end of July. Helped jenkitty move the doll house that tibicina gave us for the Duchess to play with when she's older, to a safe storage area until we can get the needed renovations on it done. Gave jenkitty, who is recovering nicely from the virus that took her offline on Tuesday, 2.5 kid-free hours - in which she rearranged which beds were where in three of the four upstairs bedrooms. It was only supposed to be half that, but between the appallingly awful traffic into (not out of) downtown (a stretch of at least two miles where the average speed was less than 5mph), and the stops that got added to the route on the back end, it was over 2.5 hours before I made it back to the house. She certainly made excellent use of the time. Took M's unfilled prescription for vital medications that he had exhausted his supply of in hand, and rerouted it to a pharmacy that had both better hours (one hour later in the evening and one hour earlier in the morning) and an available supply of the stuff, so that he'll actually have his meds tomorrow. Wrote some significant emails to various parties about upcoming events. Rearranged a portion of the pantry so that most of it is actually navigable again, as a side-task to finding places to cache the dozen or so bags of rice pasta that I bought earlier this week. Still haven't managed either to find the misplaced knitting yarn for the current baby blanket project, or get a music-playing device up into my room, but at this point I'm so tired (having gotten less than five hours sleep last night) that both of those can easily wait until tomorrow. I go fall over now. Current Mood:  satisfied |

Thankful Thursday--worldly treasures edition
There's a meme going around about people's treasured physical possessions. Here's a short list of mine:
My fedora hat
A set of painted festive shirts made by a friend in Vermont
The staples of my library: The LeClercq illustrated translation of Rabelais, the OED, Montaigne, the six-volume Gibbon, the Amphigorey set, the eleven-volumes of Durant, the Meditations of Aurelius. They're among the things I keep coming back to over and over.
My songbook. It's a shambles, but it contains things that help justify my existence.
Four glass beer mugs from the ancestral house. When I need a cold one for the Satyr, they're the first thing I reach for.
The ancestral clock ticking in the Rupert Giles room.
Six bells from my grandmother's house. I played with them when I was Two-Foot's age, and when grandma died, the whole family decided those were mine.
A footstool shaped like a mushroom. That one went from being my toy to being a useful piece of furniture.
A colonial "Rules of this Tavern" sign with admonitions such as "No indians or walkabouts allowed in the kitchen"
A blanket made to look like leopardskin, with the faces of jungle cats peering out. They were my guardian spirits when I was much younger.
How about you?

a very very shiny thing indeed Okay, I've been meaning to post this for about a month or more, and keep getting distracted. But the tab's been a consistent part of my ongoing saved session for all that time. Someone-- I think it was either Anne or Jovanie-- happened to point me to thisVixy and Tony lyric icons. Vixy and Tony. Icons. OMG. Someone heard something I created, and loved it so much that they used it to create something *else* that was beautiful. I'm totally overwhelmed. Edit: Check out her other icons too. I may be swiping some of the Golden Compass ones soon... Current Mood:  loved |
