Do you hear these Republicans talking about how Democrats want to make government "bigger"? Excuse me, but to what party was the president who signed the Patriot Act affiliated with? Don't want a government "Big Brother," Mitt Romney? Um, does the word "wiretap" ring a bell?Don't misunderstand me, Dems. I scoffed during some of your speeches, too.

Cristie, Curtis, Mark, and I went up to SF last night for Can't Stop the Serenity '08. We were all dressed up as River, Simon, Wash, and Kaylee (respectively) and had some fun at Kennedy's (Irish pub/Indian restaurant) before the games and charity auctions and movie.Cristie won the silent auction for a River poster. I won prize pack #8 in the prize drawing- a $100 gift certificate for Into Video

In case you haven't read my notes on TBF, my computer is acting up. In addition to the whole can't-use-the-wireless-card thing, most times that I try to turn it on the screen won't work- not even when I hook it up to another monitor.

It is also having issues with the mouse; the cursor will freeze on the screen, and neither the trackpad nor a USB mouse can get it to move again.

Random Labyrinth drabble

2007-03-14T07:24:00.000-07:00

I was in the mood to read some fanfiction this morning, and I ended up reading a couple Labyrinth fics. Then I was struck with the mood to write and came up with this. Stupid, but it amuses me.“Toby?” Sarah asked for the third time. Her brother’s eyes finally seemed to focus on her.“Hmm? What?”Sarah sighed. He had been spacing out again. It was something of a habit for her fifteen-year-old

Random Thoughts

2007-03-11T00:12:00.000-08:00

I just love Toombs' line in Chronicles of Riddick: "You know, you’re supposed to be some slick shit killer. Now look at you... all back of the bus and shit." I keep laughing. Hell, I just love Toombs in general. I don't care whether Johns can actually hold his own in a fight against Riddick; Johns just sucks and Toombs rocks.I can remember two times that I was told that I look like a celebrity.

South Park

2007-03-03T22:19:00.001-08:00

I've only started watching South Park recently. Last night there was a marathon of "most quoted episodes" and I ended up watching several. "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" from season 7 is the funniest one I've seen so far.Full episode

How I will die quiz

2007-03-03T04:13:00.000-08:00

You'll die from an Unlikely Illness (like the plague).You will unfortunately succumb to a random and unlikely disease. Only to find out after death that eating more broccoli would have cured you.'How will you die?' at QuizGalaxy.comI hate broccoli and would go to extreme lengths to avoid it, so this result is actually quite amusing to me.

Bad Pope jokes

2007-03-02T13:28:00.000-08:00

So last night, around 1:30 am, Curtis and I began making up Pope jokes. Some were funny; some were only funny because of how late it was; and most were painful. Nonetheless, I feel like inflicting them upon the world. Warning: tasteless puns ahead.What is the Pope's favorite snack? Pope-corn which he makes in a pope-corn pope-er.How did the Popemobile get a flat tire?It ran over a pope-hole.A

Moody

I'm pissy now for some reason. It's one of those moods where everything is annoying: how my housemate keeps opening and closing doors; the way the Safari window sizes on my computer were all effed up; how most soc classes next quarter (including the ones that look interesting) seem to all be during the time that I have a required class; the fact that's cold and rainy; etc.grumblegrumblefrown

I'm sitting in section right now, not doing any work. I'd rather just write nonsense here than do the extra credit homework problem. I'm tired. My anxiety level is high. Whine, whine, whine.I started making one of the white ones. Don't have enough white yarn, so I'm making one in dark pink. If anyone has money, I have a few skeins on my Amazon wishlist....When I get the yarn I'm planning on

I had to skip through at least 50 songs that were instrumental or in another language. I also skipped

"Fuck" in writing

2007-02-10T21:11:00.000-08:00

(All words in this entry used de dicto- i.e. of the word, not the meaning- are in quotes. Thus, there is much mentioning of "fuck" but none of fucking. Sad, I know.)Y'know, I rarely say anything worse then "damn," "sucks," or "crap"... but somehow the word "fuck" insinuates itself far too much in my writing. That does, of course, heavily depend on what character I'm depicting.But I think the

Update

2007-02-06T14:21:00.000-08:00

Went home for the weekend. Ah, life at the ranch. Waking up to find a note on the counter saying "It you want venison for dinner, there's a deer by the road," and having to go and check the condition of the spring where we get our water and making sure that the neighbor doesn't greet us with a shotgun. Got a lot of cool stuff for my birthday, including two of my favorite comedies on DVD:

I was channel surfing today and ended up watching this show. I totally dug this guy's speech about Bush, and several hours later found that it had been posted up on onegoodmove.org. Olbermann reams Bush about his hollow or even fictional "victories" over terrorist plots.Awesome quote:"They go into the collective consciousness as firm evidence of your diligence of the necessity, of your ham-handed

You should check out "The Presentation: Playing" section for the suggested dialogue and pelvic movements for each character. The "Experiencing" section is also something to read.I don't know whether this is

Birthday countdown begins--

2007-01-16T20:04:00.000-08:00

--well, not really. I'm not counting down. It is going to be a sad, sad day on January 31st. I'm almost 23 and I still have no real idea of what I'm gonna do after graduation in June. All I know is that I'm sick of school. And that I like puppies. But who doesn't?I watched Frontline last night. I love that show. What is it about Frontline that makes me watch so intently regardless about how

A Random Thought

2006-12-28T13:04:00.000-08:00

I have kinda got a whim to start giving people random titles. Like, lets say I run into someone I know when I'm walking to class. I'd just bust out with a "Good day, Lance-Corporal Mike!" or "Howdy Contessa Natalie!" I could be talking on the phone to someone and say "Well, I'll just have to run that past the Major." Yeah, people would think I was psycho, but I'm sure they do anyway. It would be

I'm not dead yet

2006-12-26T22:12:00.000-08:00

No one's heard from me in a while. I got sick last Sunday, got better a few days later, then got worse with different symptoms. I drove myself to an urgent care clinic the day of Christmas Eve and the doctor's verdict was an ear infection in my left ear. So I have to have ear drops twice a day and antibiotic pills three times. Both my ears are all blocked up, which is the reason I haven't called
