I warned you I was allergic to that shampoo, but did you believe me?  Oh no, not you, think you know everything, don’t you?  Well, now my face is melting, so let’s hear your clever idea for fixing that, Vidal Buffoon!

And on top of all of that, I'm suddenly hemployeed. Which would be cooler if I weren't getting up at 6 for work at 7:30. On the other hand, knocking off at 2 is pretty neat, except for being soooooo oooooittttiiiiirrrreeeeddd. Zomg monies.

I'm doing record updating for this company, calling doctors under contract with them and making sure we've got the right addresses &c. It's call center work but there's no sales and no customer service. And its at least semi-permanent.

The place is office casual though, and I've suddenly discovered that I don't own enough clothes. It's awful. I'll make it through this week, obv., but then I think I need to figure out how many clothes I need to not wear the same five things every week (also taking into consideration cleaning times, esp. dry cleaning). PEOPLE WHO WEAR NICE CLOTHES (or even not the same pants for a week with different t-shirts): HELP! I'm basically at pants+shirt=clothes for the day, and I don't think that's going to cut it for more than this week. In fact, these are the clothes I own, make suggestions )

And now, a word from Twitter

  • Nov. 12th, 2009 at 1:00 AM
Sometimes, you've just got to be a twit. This is what I was up to today.


  • 10:59 @ZomBeth The only reason I've ever felt that way was because I accidentally took too much of an antidepressant. #

Tommy's Comedy Lounge

  • Nov. 11th, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Tomorrow night there's a comedy showcase at Tommy's Comedy Lounge at the Charles Playhouse. A friend of mine will be performing and he's really funny so come out and support local comics! It's $8 to get in and 21+, drinks are cheap (but good), and the show starts at 8:30. It should be a great show, and if you're looking for more laughs on Friday and Saturday Frank Santorelli (Georgie the bartender from The Sopranos) will be doing stand up.

All the info, directions, etc. is available on their website at: http://tommyscomedylounge.com/ so check it out.

Oh, Glee! I don't know what I loved most about this episode because there were so many moments and songs! )

Don't the previews for next week look adorable! But I'll be in LA and probably won't see it until I fly home the next day as we're going out with friends from college on Wednesday night. But even so, I am so, so, so glad to have GLEE back!

And not just because a full season run for GLEE means that Fox has cut back its order to Past Lives from 14ish episodes to SIX, which is fantastic because that show is truly one of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. I ranted about it a bit when I saw the pilot at comic con, and I wish it were better because the cast members were all lovely but spoilers for the pilot ) I'm sorry, after an hour of focus on the details of what happened, and her really tragic and nightmare-inducing murder, I am glad that the show is not going to make it beyond six episodes.

Sorry, I'm in month five of having occasional nightmares based on that episode so it makes me a bit ranty. If you have any Kids In Peril triggers, do not watch the show or even read summaries of the first episode. Spare yourself what I put myself through. And yes, I know I put this bit outside a cut tag, because I think it's important that people know before any of the PR for the show begins.

Hell, Fox, why are you even going to air those six episodes instead of more, oh I dunno, Dollhouse. Which, yes, has its issues but they don't involve murdered kids.
Does anyone know if any of the BC buildings on Comm Ave or Beacon St have restrooms that could be used by a student-aged person (but not a BC student)? My boyfriend and I run past BC all the time, and on some occasions he has to take an emergency #2. BC is really the only landmark between home and, um, home. Any other suggestions for public restrooms in the area would be very welcome. Thanks!

After a whole bunch of actually meaty posts, I present you with this:
The Tauntaun sleeping bag!

I've been on the mailing list for months (approximately since april fool's day, when they presented it as a product but didn't actually have it). Finally the other day they said it was on pre-order!

I am sorely tempted. My geekery almost feels incomplete. But I never go camping or spending the night other places that don't have blankets and couches. It would be mildly useless. Where would I keep it?

But it's SO AWESOME is it not?

computer stuff

  • Nov. 11th, 2009 at 3:49 PM
Hi all,

This is sort of a strange request but here it goes...
I am a recent Reed College alum and recently my old macbook laptop broke and the repair would cost more than just buying another computer. However, right now I'm still sort of living in starving student mode and so I won't be able to afford to buy another computer for awhile. Basically, though, I use the computer every day to do my work/fill out applications/other stuffs and I live a bit far from campus so I've been wasting a bunch of gas commuting to and from campus when I need access to computers. I was wondering if any one has an old lap-top or a netbook that they aren't using and that I could borrow for approx 1-2 months. All that the laptop really needs to have is the ability to connect to wireless internet and the ability to use applications such as MS Word/Excel. Unfortunately, I probably wouldn't be able to pay you for the use of the computer. But, I wouldn't mind giving you some money up front ($50-$100) as a kind of deposit to ensure that I would return the computer to you and that I would return it in the condition that you gave it to me in. Then, once I return the computer you could give me that money back. Anyways, if any one can help me out please let me know. You can either respond to this post on lj, e-mail me at kloera2005@yahoo.com or text/phone me at (415) 640-7251.

Thanks,

Katie

Washington, D.C. — Outraged legislators renewed calls for banning human-animal hybrids after researchers at the Frankenstein Institute for Extremely Scary Science announced the creation of a “lambaby.”  According to a spokesperson for an angry mob that stormed the Institute, “arghle grumble blaarphle rhubarb rhubarb!”

Heeerrrrrre, birdie, birdie, birdie. At some point, you’re going to need a drink of this niiiice water I brought you. Maybe not in the next minute, maybe not in the next hour. But I’ve got alllllll day, boys, and you’re the only thing on my calendar.

Unfortunately he realized too late that he was waiting for woodpeckers.

Kitten in the Keys

  • Nov. 11th, 2009 at 4:25 PM

The piano is my forte, and I love to lie down in it,
It suits my laid-back at-etude, I don’t care how you spinet.
When I’m keyed up, can’t stay upright, life’s tempo gets too taxing,
I lie for just a minuet, and presto! I’m relaxing.

I’m never too Bizet to take a nap where notes are rolling,
When melodies float like the breeze, this console’s quite consoling.
So play whatever song you like; Chopsticks to Clair de Lune-a,
For where there’s a piano, I expect piano tuna.

We all octave a kitty like that, Kristina V.

Gargamel’s New Pet

  • Nov. 11th, 2009 at 1:19 PM

I’ve been trying to look more evil and less snuggley, I swear. And yes, I’ll try to grow into my paws faster. Look,  I know I have a lot to live up to, but I’m trying. Really. Please, I can’t sit in these Smurf undergarments any longer.

How would you feel if I stuck you in the Jolly Green Giant's briefs?

Azrael, a little help here?

I just found something that looks like a blue jellybean in here...

Papa Smurf had a big ass, Sandy S.
