Out of the shaker and onto the plate / it isn't karma it sure ain't fate So I've been eating the same brand of string cheese for something like 8 months now. And I just (as in, about 30 seconds ago) realized that there is a joke on each wrapper. Ha!
I saw a tornado on Saturday. A funnel cloud, I suppose, since it apparently didn't touch ground. But it was pretty cool, since I'd never really seen one before.
Things are kind of slow here (although I'm still not managing to get much of anything accomplished), which is a nice change of pace from the April/May rush of travel and stuff. We're not traveling again until we go back to Memphis and Huntsville for a couple of days each next month.
I want to be meeker / but have you seen this old Earth? I'm tired. At least it is Friday :)
I miss old-school music (old school, for me, means mid/late 90's christian rock). Pandora is awesome for being able to listen to said old-school music. Unfortunately, I can't get Pandora in my car :-(
I bought some CDs at Half-Price books, though. So I can still have some amount of Old School, in the car. And if I got it together, and figured out how to make play lists work on my nano such that I could easily swap music on and off of it... I could listen to that in the car.
Long story short, I'm whining, there's an obvious solution to my problems, and I'm just to lazy to deal with it. That's like, the story of my life.
Went to RenFest last weekend. Going again this weekend. It's awesome. :-)
I didn't buy the like, eight Egyptian statues they were selling that I didn't have... But I did buy a cool Egypt dagger. And a shirt. And a ring. But not a jingly ankle bracelet. I'm gonna hafta make that one.
It's still really hot in Houston. For some reason, this is upsetting me less and less the longer I stay here :-) Although it is a bit weird to wear shorts and tank tops out Christmas shopping.
Family drama is always interesting, and kind of odd. Christmas will be fun, all around. I'm just sayin'.
I am hopelessly behind in my writing. But I caught up a little yesterday. Sort of. We'll see how it goes this week, as we'll have house-guests from Thursday until Tuesday.
I hate NetBeans. With the fiery passion of a thousand suns. No really, I hate it that much. Even more than I hate Internet Explorer. Which is amazing.
And in the end, that's all that really matters, right? (Note: this is not technically a spoiler for anything, since I'm not elaborating on the who or the where or the in what. If you figure it out... that's not my fault).
Update on the lost kitty. He found his parents. Chad had taken him to the vet (on the way back to our house) to check for a chip... no dice. But then our building foreman for our neighborhood said our neighbors down the street had lost a cat... Turns out, the cat rode from our house to JSC (not a short trip!) on top of Chad's spare tire under the truck. Crazy stuff. But he's home now, actually was home a couple of days after we found him, so all is good.
And I found an AWANA program here, and am the newest Cubbie leader there. Yay for 3 & 4 year olds! And being given an excuse to sing Father Abraham, and other silly children's songs, at least once a week.
And pumpkin seeds. Yay for pumpkin seeds, too.
Reminder: RenFest is fast approaching. We only have one spare bed and an air mattress... so reserve space at our house early (& often. Like voting!) :-)
Who ever sinvented Peach & Mango Salsa should be sainted. Or granted god-hood. Or something. I would write the Vatican and suggest this (the sainting, I don't think they handle bestowing god-hood), but I'm not catholic. So in leiu of that, I hope they make a million bucks.
Who ever invented finals should be stabbed in the eye with a really hot french fry.
I might finally regain my sanity... after May 7th. But don't count on it or anything.
My hair is long anough to manage braided pigtails again... but I'm thinking about cutting it off again, too. Decisions, decisions.
A couple more weeks of Iron Yoga & pilates, and I'll have the most awesome abs eVar. Seriously.
Lord of the Rings online is terribly addictive. As is ice cream, and caffiene, and the aforementioned peach & mango salsa.
They say the oddest things on the radio... Like, this morning, on my way to work, a BlueBell Ice Cream commercial came on... and they said that BlueBell Ice Cream has "tongue licking flavor."
So my question is this: How can you lick your own tongue? I'm so confused.
*random thought* It's kind of like the first episode of Third Rock From The Sun, where the older guy is talking about how much he likes having a human body... then he gets this odd look, and says, "I just have one question... how are you supposed to lick your back?" And everyone in the car gets this panicked look. Too funny...
There are lots of advantages and disadvantages to having your desk face a window...
Advantage: Today is a nice sunny day, and it's pretty outside, and I have something to look at when I'm not actually working...
Disadvantage: Today must be MSFC's Middle-aged-engineers-run-around-outside-with-your-shirt-off-and-get-all-hot-and-sweaty day... because I've seen about a dozen guys run by without their shirts...
This is my brain..... in part, at least.
