I think i just booked a fligth from Stockholm to Bremen for about 10 euros.... that's crazy!

Not completely sure though, because i booked it in swedish crones. So i'll wait till it's actually booked off the credit card (of my father) but it really looked like i paid 96SEK!

And Yay! It's only one month until i see my dogs again!

On the 8th of august i'll go with my parents to their summer-cottage, stay there about one week and then take the night train to Lapland :)

Until i hopefully find a new appartement.

But otherwise i'll work about 4 days a week until then.
I don't like to work. Don't know, it's a nice job, nice people. I just don't like this "going to work".

The Dark Knight [Review]  
That's right, HH saw The Dark Knight at 12:01am.

Some of the best moments were before the actual movie started. Everyone that was there was there for a good time, and we were complete strangers and making jokes. We joked about actually being there to see Batman, we joked about how we were only there for the previews.

Earlier when we were standing in line we had theater workers asking us if we were standing in the right line. RJ, Matt and myself all say "Yes." However Michael turned around and said "No, we're here to see Hancock." The guy laughed and left.

Only did we find out that the theater we saw TDK in, #9, played Hancock.

Minor Spoilers for the Batman Universe Are Ahead. )

Score
10/10. A++. Whatever you want to rate this movie, it's the highest score you can get. There were times we clapped, went "OH MY GOD" out of fear and awesome, and times where everyone just fell silent. It is a true people movie. And really that's all Batman is at heart, I think. Is people.

CATASTROPHE: Today they removed the mole above my eyebrow. WHICH IS BAD BECAUSE APPARENTLY I EMOTE MOSTLY THROUGH MY EYEBROWS. It's like when you get a papercut on your thumb, and suddenly you realize you use your thumb ALL THE TIME, and every time you have to pick up a piece of paper or turn on a light or punch your little brother your hand is like "OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING THE PAIN" which is sad times.

Seattle Toilets on Ebay  
Per this news article, the self-cleaning public toilets in Seattle have been declared to be more trouble than they're worth, and so the city is putting them up on Ebay. (Link goes to toilet #1 of 5.)

Just gotta love Seattle. What other city would do this? ;D

ARE YOU SCARED?! ARE YOU?!!  
[while watching Scare Tactics]

Danny: OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE HIM SCREAM?

Alex: DUDE WHY ARE WE EVEN WATCHING THIS-- OH MY GOD, THESE PEOPLE ARE STUPID!

Danny: I wouldn't just sit there and scream, I'd like, you know, hit someone.

Alex: Dude, I'd worry about these guys stroking out or having a heart attack or something.

Danny: "Are you SCARED? Are you--- hey, are you breathing? OH NO!! THEY DIED!!"

Alex: Oh my god, so, I just thought of the perfect Scare Tactics. So say I want to set you up for it, so I sign you up to be scared, but-- but then the situation they put you in, they say, "Danny, we're going to set up your sister to be scared and you're going to help us," and then you guys do something hella scary, and then I'm all, "OMG HEART ATTACK TIEM NAO" And then you're like, "OH MY GOD I KILLED MY SISTER" and then-- and then I'm all "OMG FOOLED YOU" and we all laugh!

Danny: ...That's evil. No, wait! Even better! So we prank them! They think they're helping you prank me, right, and then you fake a heart attack, and then I'm like, "OH MY GOD I KILLED MY SISTER" and then-- and then I pull out a blood spurting knife and "stab" myself with it, and then you wake up and run to them, all "OH MY GOD YOU KILLED MY BROTHER" and they freak out and you're all, "ARE YOU SCARED? ARE YOU SCARED NOW?!" And they pee their pants!

Danny and Alex: EXCELLENT.

Mom: You two are freaks.

Dude. I just spent almost an hour straight explaining to my family in excruciating detail just how much Twilight sucks.

An hour. Oh my god.

And I still didn't cover all my Twilight issues.

Although the face Dad made when I told him what Stephenie Meyer's vampires did in sunlight was totally priceless.

Seriously, though, this never happens.  
Right now, at this moment (precisely 6:05 PM Central), my hair looks PERFECT. Even though I was in semi-darkness fumbling around flatfooted with a hairtie and my brush that kind of hates my curls, when I turned on the light and squinted at myself in my crooked mirror MY HAIR TOTALLY ROCKED. And the short bits in front (they're really too long to be bangs now, but I'm not sure what you'd call them), for whatever reason they decided to be completely straight, like, IRONED-FLAT-STRAIGHT, which my hair never does, and wow. WOW!

I'm going to enjoy this moment for as long as it lasts. *basks*

Anybody wanna be a beta?  
I have a 12,000 word exchange story that needs a quick going over.  And I kind of need it back before, say, Friday.  My regular beta crew has been fabulous but many/most of them have hit a particularly busy time of year so I'm looking for anyone who'd like to be added to the beta filter.  (Folks already on it will stay on it unless you ask me to take you off).

It's a Torchwood, Jack/Ianto, NC-17 piece if that helps you decide. :)

Anyone?  Bueller?  Bueller? :)

to the show...  
So. Going to California in just over 14 hours (that's when I"ll be boarding mah plane). Going to go and hang with Morgan [info]verycleanindeed and Holly [info]kindoftrouble and Gussie (Morgan's doggie!). And we will be going to Disneyland early next week and Comic Con next Thursday. Staying until Sunday.

Dude. *asplode*

I'm like, going numb from how excited I am. I'm not done packing, but I don't have much to go. And gahhhhlksdjflsjdfskldf.

We go to Western Sizzlin regularly (it's a steakhouse with a fantastic salad bar with great variety), and our favorite waitress, when finding out I was going was 'awww, take me with you!' (which is what most of my co-workers have said, without the aww, lol). And then she asked if mom was going, and I said no. And she said "aahh, got a secret boyfriend then!" like seriously. It was an aha moment for her.

I do not have a secret boyfriend, or a boyfriend. Though, a neighbor also assumed it. WTF. I'm going to hang out with my GIRL BUDDIES. Though there may be some ogling of boys I'd ungay for (Hello, Flanigan-but-I-will-pretend-is-Sheppard so can ogle. Hello Shaaaaaaaanks.), there will be much more girl ogling (as oh. my. god. Geek. Girls. Yay.). So dammit. I'm not straight, and I am not having a secret fling. lol.

Also, dude from work asked mom to ask me to call him so he can tell me to meet certain people out there.

If he pays me then yes. LOL. Or if it coincides with mee own interests, as dude. Seriously. Not going to have time to sprint hither and thither.

LOLZ. Don't you wish you had these sorts of problems only????

Dude. I GET TO SEE THE OCEAN ON SATURDAY YAYYAYAYYAY.

Okay so after lunch we snaked our way out to Main Street to get a good spot for when the parade started. Alas, it had started by the time Eivy, Patrick and I crossed the street. The rest of our party got stranded on the other side of the street.

Warning: this is picture-heavy.

Yes, folks I am back. I've been back for two weeks now but I've been bogged down with getting back to work and unpacking and adjusting my body clock so I have not had the time to post updates and photos. Ah, yes, photos! I must have over 2,000 photos in my 3 CF cards so importing, sorting, tweaking and uploading them proved to be a nightmare.

So before any work or domestic-related things wipe them away from my memory, here is the first part of my travel journal.

26 May 2008: Dubai Int'l Airport and HK Int'l Airport )

I will be splitting this into a few parts as it will be picture-heavy in some areas. I hope you're enjoying it so far.

The Usual  


I know I hardly ever update, and I'm only around LJ when I WANT something, but bear with me for a moment, won't you?

I don't talk about family on here a lot, but I'm very very VERY proud of my one and only baby brother, who is, among other things (such as gifted with an acerbic wit much like my own), an AMAZING guitarist. His band, Down From Up, has an album available on iTunes, and this fall they're headed to Afghanistan to play in a USO tour for the troops. And probably smoke a LOT of weed while they're at it.

Aaaanyway... DFU has the chance to play as the opening pre-show band at the upcoming Rock Against Diabetes benefit in Las Vegas, and if you go HERE, you can scroll down and vote for them, and maybe help boost their chances. Clicky the picture link to go to Down From Up's MySpace page, and take a listen to their music. It's not really my cuppa, but family is family, y'know?

VOTING ENDS AT MIDNIGHT ON JULY 19TH! Five seconds of your time is all I need, and then I'll go back to lurking.

Yes, I'm going to be backdating this entry and re-posting it over and over, just to be annoying as possible. I mean, they're in fifth place! Time is short!


ETA: Holy shit, they even have music videos. Huh.

Patch day!  
That's right, it's 2.4.3 time after maintnance today. I stole the patch notes from MMO Champion, but I've clipped some for note.

"Zoning into an instance on a PvE realm will now drop your PvP flag."

THANK EFFING GOD. Seriously. The ridiculousness of people showing up for raids or even 5 mans while flagged, forcing EVERYONE else to flag up in order to keep them buffed was.. ridiculous. And, as usual, leaving it up to the player to be sure they've dropped their flag before a raid or instance group was like asking my brother or sister to be dependable and earn a living on their own. This is awesomeness.

"Mounts at 30?! Yes, it’s true: Apprentice Riding and mounts are now available at level 30. Training costs 35 gold."

That pretty much speaks for itself. Nothing wrong with that at all.

I've left the rest of it behind the cut, there are all kinds of other changes and junk.. good times..

For teh patch notez )
