Broke As A . . .

I’m still alive and kicking, but dude, I am broke as a joke. I don’t get paid until September 15th and my last check arrived, oh, around June 30th. Not that anyone would ever consider such a thing, but never, EVER, hire me to manage your finances. You’ll be homeless and starving. Yeah.

Work is going pretty great this year. The students are terrific and the change in administration has been reinvigorating. I have no plans for the holiday weekend, and it’s a good thing (see above re: BROKE). I think I’ll finish the spring cleaning around here and spend a nice long weekend at home with the kids 🙂

The Greater Good

My, oh my. That phrase keeps popping up, doesn’t it?

Jason Momoa is going to be at Dragon*Con. I am not. Do you see the problem here?!? I considered borrowing the money to attend just to see him. Seriously. Had it been Sean Bean, I would have, but I guess I can live without seeing Jason in the flesh. Jason, flesh, Jason, flesh. Gah! It’s probably best that I don’t go and make an utter fool of myself, a la, Cliff Simon last year. I should try to hang onto that last shred of dignity I’ve been clinging to for so long.

Yes, it’s best that I not attend this year. Be warned, however! I’ll have the money to go next year and should Jason return, I can’t promise I won’t be “that girl” who does something to embarrass herself and everyone around her. 😆

Fandom Hate

I have an abundance of fandom love. I have delved deep into various ‘ships, groups, and singularities. With such passion, comes the converse. The fandom hate. Only once before have the two collided; when John and Aeryn became Cameron and Vala. I dealt with it quite well and even embraced both characters and actors. I have a feeling it will NOT be the case this time.

The ugly girl from Veronica Mars is joining Heroes. I don’t like Kristen Bell. I have no rational reason, I just don’t like her look or her style. My dislike of her exceeds that of Firefly tenfold. I love Heroes, however, so her appearances will not deter me from the fandom unless she becomes too much of a focus. With the number of new actors they are adding, there’s a chance she won’t be featured too much, so I’m not ringing the alarm just yet.

The Doctor Who casting news is actually unconfirmed at this time, but it makes perfect sense if you’ve seen the last episode of Series 3. Joan Collins will make for a very interesting villain, but meeting more and more Time Lords and Ladies kind of takes away from the mythology of the new series. That said, I’m looking forward to her arc if the casting rumor is true.

Enough fun, I’m off to work!

Sonic Feeder

I feel bad for laughing. A little.

Istar was watching Doctor Who‘s “The Runaway Bride” with me when The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to open the Tardis. I never noticed before, but Hobbit and Istar’s new feeders make the exact same sound as the screwdriver when they rotate for feeding times. Needless to say, Istar bolted into his room expecting dinner and returned vocally displeased at his deception.
