Police: "We don't need no stinkin' warrants!" Judy Flint: "Actually, yes, you do." "What I observed when I came in were a bunch of very tall men encircling a very small woman," said the library's director, Amy Grasmick, who held fast to the need for a warrant after coming to the rescue of the 4-foot-10 Flint. |

Spoilers, if you haven't seen the show. Disc one of season two has the following episodes: "Scattered," "Valley of Darkness," "Fragged," and "Resistance." Frak me! Bloody frakking wonderful. Cally is BSG's Jack Ruby, Tigh's caused a BSG version of the Boston Massacre over frakking coffee (and here I thought tea was the beverage of choice for inciting war). Baltar's so busy accepting the fact that he's a fraking instrument of God that he never actually frakking bothered to test Tyrol ( Read more... )Kara's stuck on Caprica with fifty-four people she's going to have to try to get out of there and there's no way in hell she'll be able to steal a ship big enough to get them all off of that planet. ( Read more... )And she frakking well playing pyramid with a guy who's set up for the viewers to be taken as a Cylon! ( Read more... )And meanwhile, Lee, who has nothing left but his idealism to carry him (thanks to his own idiocy plus the President's manipulation of both Kara and him plus his father's sheer stubbornness plus the sheer bad luck of his father getting shot twice by Boomer and leaving someone like Saul Tigh in charge) is off trying to make things better by making them worse, by keeping the President at large and giving the civilians a rallying point so that the martial law can degenerate into actual open civil war and/or an actual split in the fleet (if not both). Frak! There's a really frakking bad joke in this somewhere, and it starts something like, "A terrorist, an idealist, and a newly converted religious fanatic all walk into a bar . . . " (hey, they are on the blasted pleasure cruise ship!) The Lords of Kobol wept! What a frakking mess! ( Read more... ) |

got to the Tex Perkins show at 7pm last night, there was a sign saying it started at 7:30pm however... 30 minutes to wait... bought a drink & finally things got started with Fi Claus playing first I'm sure she's a good performer but I was in a funny mood last night, her brand of upbeat pop was getting to me, also there were so many drunken bogans with their spawn that I began getting very paranoid, I left after she finished at 8:30, as we all know if there are two or more drunken bogans there will mosty likely be a fight, there were so many people there in general as well apparently a "Fear of crowds" and "Fear of crowds or mobs" is Enochlophobia and Ochlophobia respectively according to answerbag, I don't know if it's a realiable site but whatever, I was just in a funny mood, I really don't like people touching me and you know how drunken people reach out if they feel unsteady, I kept expecting one of the bastards to touch me, I hate being touched, hate, hate, unless it's by an attractive young lady naturally what I really need is a girlfriend I can take out to gigs, that would make everything so much easier, also I really miss the affection that a girlfriend provides, not just sex, I mean cuddling, having someone give a damn about you, seems like everyone is trying to screw with me sometimes, not all the times, I just think I've become paranoid since I spend so much time by myself on the weekend now that I live alone having civilized neighbours helps though, they invite me around to their flat sometimes for dinner, they're quite nice, it's nice to have civilized neighbours for a change, I'm so sick of fucking crazy people went to JB Hi-Fi a second ago and bought the new The Dandy Warhols album '...Earth To The Dandy Warhols....', was served by a cute girl who looked kind of like Zia, I've got to stop staring at girls like they're a hot meal, as I said it's been a long time since I had some affection so I tend to stare like some kind of freak, it's not good, it feaks them out, oh well bought the recent Radioheads albums 'In Rainbows' too, yes, today is the day to relax with some music, my shifts at work have changed recently so I'm doing almost all nights, 2pm - 10pm, except monday which is days, is good in a way as I'll be able to sleep in, I hate forcing myself out of bed at 6am or 7am, I realize it's when most people get up but I'm really not a morning person, I tend to bump into things untill I get a strong cup of coffee into me ok, that's it, I've been thinking about making all my journal entries friends only, mostly so I don't have to worry about work people reading them, it would be awkward since I bitch about them here sometimes bye |

My bro cleaned the disc with that one stuff, so now I can call The Boss (and everyone else, for that matter) without the game imploding. Woo! I haven't gotten too far yet. I've died twice already though; the game over screen in this one is awesome. (TIME PARADOX.) Oh yeah, and apparently it's International Femslash Day today. Never heard of it before now. Guess I should read a good fic before the day ends. |

I know I've said it in multiple posts today/yesterday, but I am so excited for JTL and KDEV on Monday. I just thought I'd reiterate it. :) Tomorrow I'm going to Download Festival to see Brand New play. I'm hoping there will be a signing because a) I have seats and I can move around all I want and b) I don't know any of the other bands playing. And then Monday, oh Monday, will be the best day of my life. I don't need to have experienced it to know it, I can feel it. Jesse Lacey has been one of the only singers I've constantly liked since I was 15. I have favorite bands fade in an out [RIP Good Charlotte, Sugarcult, Taking Back Sunday, and most of FBR], but Brand New has been this constant part of my life and every show of theirs that I get to attend is not only an honor, but a blessing. I think that probably sounds stupid or corny, but its true. I love them. It doesn't even matter what he plays, I know Jesse won't disappoint. BECAUSE JESSE NEVER DISAPPOINTS [me]. I keep replaying the mp3 of the video above, I love Trailer Trash. I hope he plays it. I just, have such high expectations. The same goes for the indie-heartthrob, KDev. I remember first seeing him in 2006 and thinking, "What is this, eh not my taste." I mean, he was funny, and so very gracious, [he even bent over to a girl that was talking in the front row and said, "this is a slow song, can we try not to fuck it up?"] but I still didn't get it. I downloaded Split the Country because I did like Cotton Crush, and subsequently played it on repeat for 6mos before trying to listen to anything else by him. And then came the KDEV/MO/BN tour and when I saw him play, something changed. I fell in love with his music, and am still over a year later. He is a truly, truly brilliant musician and I would marry Make the Clocks Move if that was even possible. So anyway, I've been thinking about those two all day and thought maybe it'd be cool to write it down so that I could maybe do homework or something. I doubt it, but whatever. :) ( Cut for earlier post, I just decided to put 'em together since they're on the same topic ) |

Oh, I'd meant to mention why I biked 16 mi.: Got to bank #1 on time, no problem, only to realize that it was the wrong bank; d'oh! I googled from my cell phone, but by the time I got to bank #2, they were (predictably) closed. Bank #3 was open, no problem, and I also was able to swing by my PO Box. So, partially successful, and the one item isn't gonna kill me if I can't take care of it until next week. Now I'm synchronizing SEPTA schedules. This is potentially do-able, but the timing will be very tight. The three interviews are arranged in the worst possible order; any other combination would've made transit far easier. (And I don't dare risk trying to rearrange things, even if it were possible at this stage, since just one "no" would screw up earlier "ok"'s.) I'm also debating using the bus in Ft. Washington, for both time and appearance-preservation, and maybe even a cab to go a single mile in Philly where timing will be very tight. |

Whew. Back from biking. About 16 miles in five hours, with stops. Not too fast, huh. Stopped a lot. The sun's even more brutal on a bike. 97° Must've drank about two gallons, almost all converted to sweat. A woman stopped and gave me ice water at one point; nice. One minor complication is that there's something in my sweat that irritates my eyes. Not sure if it's pollen or pH or what, but it was hard to keep my eyes open at times. Obviously, that hinders biking. I guess I've had a pinch of this in the past, but I don't remember it ever being a show-stopper. Hope it's temporary. I got a call from an employer during one of my stops. I now have three interviews on Monday, in three different locations. Gah. I don't think SEPTA's gonna cut it. :-( Nor will trying to bike in a suit and tie, especially in this weather. |

So, yesterday I took a little look at my LJ and really wanted to post something other than the usual icons or birthdays or memes or fanlisting stuff. Of course, I ended up posting exactly that - birthday, meme (with icons, no less) and then some icons as well... o_O Anyway, to finally post about something other... After getting Mass Effect out on the PC, BioWare has finally started giving us more information on Dragon Age again. Or as the (first?) game is known now, Dragon Age: Origins. Looks even better than it did four years ago. :D As for work, I've actually had quite a lot to do lately, but everything's been luckily finished in time. And I really suck at posting about anything, don't I? :P edit: Also, I know everyone's already told you this, but go watch Dr. Horrible now! |

Well, today I did two things. I met up with insano_fan_girl, and I filmed another Linus/Lucy song. Because I don't have video of the first, you'll have to make do with video of the second! Linus and Lucy Perform "Mr Sandman". I was planning on filming two today, but that one took me a bit over four hours - it turns out that doing a duet with yourself is actually quite tricky. It would have taken less time, but I stupidly used the editing software on my PC, rather than my shiney new Mac. I hate the editing software on my PC. The low point came when it wouldn't let me see the footage, listen to the footage, alter the footage, or export the footage. Most of the time, it was only restricting me from doing one or two of those activities, but there was about half an hour when I simply couldn't do any of them. I found it extremely frustrating, let me tell you that. Anyway, I managed to avoid most of the problems that I faced yesterday - I used a microphone, I filmed their voices separately (not something that I'll do often, of course, but when two puppets voiced by me are singing a duet, it's tricky to do that without separate voice-filmings), and I changed the framing so that you couldn't see my hand, and it wasn't on an angle. I didn't manage to make Lucy much more expressive, but that was mainly because I was focussing on the lyrics. My goal for tomorrow is to get the hang of Lucy's movements (tomorrow I'll be recording "The Elephant Love Medley" from Moulin Rouge, and tidying up for the return of Gavin.) I did, however, encounter a few new problems:
The slight hissing noise? Pinnacle. It sounds fine when I listen to it in the program, but the second it exports, a hissing noise is added. That black line that appears a few times in the middle of the screen? Pinnacle. But I'm making these to learn lessons, and boy howdy did I learn a lot today. And despite all the negativety there, I think it's still a piece of fun. So check it out - Mr Sandman, by Linus and Lucy. |

OKAY, SO. ( In which I ramble about something relevant to my apparent new obsession... Again. ) On a different note completely, I'm happy that the awards on Don't Cry Jennifer are back! Last year's were a blast. There's a lot of entries this time; I think I'm the only person who filled them all out. The nominations stop on the 19th, today, so hopefully a few more posts on the topic will be squeezed in before they stop. Can't wait to see what awards I'm lucky enough to get. (Just wanted to mention all of that, for some reason. You guys must be getting tired of reading about my ramblings of MGS!) ETA @ 2:11: Added a cut. This entry is bordering on TL;DR a bit. |

I was just listening to a recording of Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot and in the beginning Jesse's trying to introduce the song and he goes, "I was trying not to give the song title away, but what the fuck ever". Haha Jesse. |

I saw TDK again. I know it's twice in the same day, but after seeing it last night, its all I can think about. It just constantly replayed over and over in my head. And honestly, I don't think that it's the movie as much as it is the joker. ( Under a cut so the picture doesn't give Jess nightmares. ) |

I just changed my layout. I was getting a little tired of the paper pad. hold on my song is on: Great song... idk, when I get done singing it, I feel impowered, and at peace with myself. Maybe a bit weird to those who don't sing a lot out loud to themselves, but I'm sure a great deal of you understand what I'm saying. Anyways. Today was a very do nothing day, and it's funny to think about it, but I won't really have a lot of those once I really do start working. I'm actually getting excited about being unavailable. Weird... the high will eventually wear off and all I'll want to do is quit my damn job lol. Tomorrow I'm going over to Brendan's again to see if it's possible that I won't want to hang out with him. Every time I've gone over there or when we've gotten together for a few hours, all I've wanted to do is just be with him. Whether or not we're doing something isn't even important. Going to his computer to play sims is no longer my first impulse after we greet at the door. And it's wonderful. It puts a calming smile on my face. It was all really a matter of spending too much time together, especially such a weird time, me still fighting around with college stuff, him starting a new job... ME finding and starting my first job...it's just a little crazy ^--^ Steve is doing well from what he tells me, and what I keep reading, and I know I've said this before but it's refreshing and great to know that he's up on his feet again, ready to fight. I miss that part of him. I'm really looking forward to what's going to be happening with him in the future... I really think that with his new mentality things are going to either start to fall into place for him, or they're going to just... take off. Like a rocket. That boy is a goldmine. Best of luck to him, always. .... I think I'm going to hunt down some lyrics and keep singing until my voice runs out and before BB calls. I like singing to him but I don't at the same time... I'm always worried about the crap phones dying on me. I hope he calls tho... I should probably call him... oh! I might be getting a cell phone soon, as soon as I get things squared away for me bank-wise, bed-wise, and schedual-wise. The first thing I'm buying for myself is a new bed and mattress. Brendan says he's willing to give me his old computer (that works wonderfully) when he saves up enough to buy a better one that he wants so he can run the three new games he got for it. Which means I get all his sim games! lol :D XD uh oh, like I need that distraction here. But it'll be great! Anyways... he's gonna get me savvied up on his system first tho I hope, like what to do about his monthly updates for his spyware or w/e it is that keeps popping up and cutting out my games lol! :D I am going now. I like my journal... I really wish the background I loaded onto it would effin' show up! DX |

I'm immensely excited about this. The July 16 donation report is $30,459.93. See the current report. I'm proud to have been a contributor on both sides of the project (donor of items bidded on and bidder on items donated). I realize that $35k is not exactly deep pockets in the world of political campaigning, but it's more than was there before we started this thing. So... Yay for marriage equality! Maybe it will come to my state some day. :-\ Yeah, domestic partnership gets the job done but when it comes to principle, denying marriage equality is not on the side of good. |

A good article, showing how one problem we're having, especially in the urban areas, is that it's not cooling down enough at night, further exacerbating the heat problem: Nighttime warmth is the big worry in heat wave. One point is that all of the a/c's are actually heating the air outside. Personally, I gotta go somewhere to cool off. I'm dying up here, as is my poor laptop. |

Closing Cycles Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters - whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished. Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents' house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can tell yourself you won't take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister, everyone will be finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all feel bad seeing you at a standstill. None of us can be in the present and the past at the same time, not even when we try to understand the things that happen to us. What has passed will not return: we cannot forever be children, late adolescents, sons that feel guilt or rancor towards our parents, lovers who day and night relive an affair with someone who has gone away and has not the least intention of coming back. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts - and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood. Stop turning on your emotional television to watch the same program over and over again, the one that shows how much you suffered from a certain loss: that is only poisoning you, nothing else. Nothing is more dangerous than not accepting love relationships that are broken off, work that is promised but there is no starting date, decisions that are always put off waiting for the "ideal moment." Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished: tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need. This may sound so obvious, it may even be difficult, but it is very important. Closing cycles. Not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because that no longer fits your life. Shut the door, change the record, clean the house, shake off the dust. Stop being who you were, and change into who you are. I couldn't have said it any better. Paulo Coelho always has beautiful words. How I wish i could go back to writing stuff. Parang nabobo na kasi ako, hehe. I keep trying actually, but I can't seem to find any inspiration. I guess I'll have to try harder. |
