- 22:03 That was an interesting long day that wasn't really very interesting. Sleep seems like a good idea. Then wake up and work, repeat. My life. #
- 23:19 Hooray an pro life chick running for VP.... I'm sorry but please gods NO! Where's my obama-biden bumper sticker already? #

I met my brother's new girlfriend last night...and she is a vegetarian! Also she is quite nice.
I also painted the Dragonforce emblem on my brother's cast (he may or may not have broken his arm...the cast is a pre-emptive measure.) in Skull White, Boltgun metal, and Mithril Silver.
could be the light
could be your smile but
no it does
appear you are naked
oh look
we match
shall we wear each
other and laughter?
Ugh. Don't you hate it when people act innocent to try to get others to take their side?

If I could have one piece of anatomy from another person rather than my own, I might well choose Cyd Charisse’s legs. I mean, dang.
(This clip from The Band Wagon’s “Girl Hunt Ballet” brought to you by my being unable to stop watching incredible 1950s musical numbers once I start.)
Anyways, I think I'm gonna get this
Along with some good zombie/horror readage, but I don't know what yet.

- 07:05 Today's xkcd has made me very happy. #
- 08:21 They pay the sysadmin/techs $70 an hour. They pay me $12, but keep giving me sysadmin and tech tasks to do. Fuckers. #
- 11:58 I have way too much work to do to be this distracted by fun. #
- 14:08 @calixies Because the awesomest people on campus won't be there, duh. ;) #
- 14:09 Co-worker: "Does Telus do, like, wireless cell phones? Like the mobile type?" #
- 14:43 Yeah, I just pissed off a client's 10-year-old daughter. Whoops. #
- 15:15 @calixies You should call him! Don't keep him all hypothetical. You'd love it! #
- 15:55 @calixies Awww, you still wub me! :-D #
- 16:49 @warwick Actually, I just made to-do lists for each staff member here designed to force them to comment on finished tasks. #
- 21:04 There's no way I could explain how much I love this place without waxing poetic about my clothes line, so I will spare you all. #
Then the McCain campaign told everyone that he's not actually an official campaign adviser, even though he apparently helped write McCain's health care plan.
'cause, you know, access to those ERs doesn't actually guarantee treatment. If the doctors don't consider one's condition as an emergency, well, one's out of luck. Sry suckas, see ya later.
I guess if I ever forget that people are stupid, this'll remind me.

will complete this entry this afternoon, until then .. enjoy some more Arabic pop.
p.s. Ignore the wedding the theme, although I do like the arabic/western trad. cross over
focus on zee sentiment.
I like it when the 'western' guy breaks down crying into a hankerchief.. haha!
Again, talking about my feelings again because, shit, I have nothing else to talk about. I feel detached from everything. I feel lethargic yet wide awake at the same time, like I want to run for a few thousand kilometres, but I also want to curl up and sleep for a few weeks. I'm feeling 'oh-so-lonely', yet can't be fucked being in a relationship right now.
That 'talk' with my mum probably about how I'm not pulling my weight or whatever, which I've been stressed about all week, didn't happen
I don't know if I like the path I'm heading down. And unfortunately, as fun as she is, I think it's all Maz's fault. Ah fuck it. I'm determined to slow down, because it's draining me financially. I think it would be interesting to see how far I can push my body, although I won't do it.
Going to a mate's place tonight, but I dunno how the hell I'm getting there :S
I'll work it out. I always do ; )

Still requesting more prompts. Naturally, the silliest of the prompts is turning out to be the longest (thank you Chris!), as I've managed to find an actual storyline that just suffers from a lack of a denouement. Still mulling the others, but I did jot down some notes.
Last of the Amazon order hit today, but it was too late to save me from a ridiculous sunburn on the left side of my face. Really, sun, I was only outside for 3 & 1/2 blocks! On a bike!
I was not displeased at work today. Our small fan broke a blade, and the break in balance of the mechanism caused it to JUMP AROUND. Seriously, it was vibrating itself around in circles. I could not stop laughing-- further prove I will laugh at just about anything.

Dannenfelser added that having Palin on the ticket will attract women voters and some of the Hillary Clinton supporters who aren't happy with Barack Obama.
“The majority of American women support commonsense restrictions on abortion. Adding Palin to the GOP ticket will resonate with independent women voters nationwide," Dannenfelser told LifeNews.com. "By choosing the boldly pro-life Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has taken his stand as the one true, authentic pro-life ticket.”
Adam Serwer at TAP says it best:
"The pick of Palin is dripping with transparent condescension, the notion that the enthusiasm behind Hillary was simply the result of her being a woman, that it had nothing to do with what she actually stood for, and in that sense it's equally sexist. Palin is essentially a hard-right ideologue, and therefore nothing like Hillary as far as substance is concerned. It's not very different from running Alan Keyes against Barack Obama in 2004. The conservative media reaction has already engaged in paternalistic language, with FOX News reporting on television that "McCain broke the glass ceiling," implying in fact, that the pick had nothing to do with Palin or her qualifications, but merely her gender. It's fitting that the party positing affirmative action as a program that picks people exclusively based on race or gender rather than qualification should do something similar given an opportunity for political advancement. While Obama is promising change through policy, not simply through the circumstances of his birth, the McCain campaign thinks his appeal is simply visual and demographic, and therefore something they can exploit."

I went to hear John Williams and the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl tonight, and while of course John Williams’ music is awesome and it was great seeing all the clips of Indy and Star Wars and Close Encounters along with the live orchestra, the highlight for me was when Stanley Donen turned up to introduce selections from his films with Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Fred’s dancing-on-the-ceiling number from Royal Wedding, the barn dance from Seven Brides (the travesty of the night, though, was that they showed this in the pan-and-scanned version - with the director sitting right there!), Gene on roller skates and with Jerry the Mouse and in the rain. But even though I knew they’d do “Singin’ in the Rain,” I secretly hoped they’d do some part of “The Broadway Ballet” instead. They didn’t. So I must do it instead, with the aid of lovely YouTubers. I love the whole thing, but obviously the parts with Cyd Charisse stand out. (It’s fourteen minutes long, and thus won’t fit in one YouTube video; part two, with the romantic flowy veil part, is here).
