Half Is Good

3 Comments

Yay! :flake: Half-day snowday today. Driving home was incredibly difficult, but knowing that I *just* started getting SG-1 S10.E11 and won’t get to watch it is even more difficult. I sooo hope we get a full snowday tomorrow, but since it’s stopped snowing and the county in which I work does an excellent job of clearing the roads, we probably won’t. I can always dream, though!

[Edit: The second I hit “Save” on this entry, the phone rang…two hour delay tomorrow! Many times, our delays turn into full days, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed :nod:]

Those Three Little Words

Oh, what a lovely day this is! No.School.Today! I took yesterday off because of an eye appointment (no worries, vision is stabilized) and today is a snow day. That means I am in the midst of a four-day-weekend. Whoo!

Istar goes to the vet tomorrow for his booster shots and to schedule his surgeries and I’ll be so relieved once he’s healed and hopefully a little more calm.

stargate02.jpg SGA was disappointing this week. It was, um, nonsensical at best and I hope the rest of the season shapes up to be better. From the spoilers that have been out there, it’s going to get better, so I’m not really worried about it.

Torchwood continues to be a big pile of WTF. I don’t even know why I keep watching. Boredom, I suppose. I totally didn’t realize that Gwen had been the maid-chick on the Doctor Who episode “The Unquiet Dead”. Hmmph. Guess I was too taken with the Doctor to notice the first time around 🙂

The super-sexy Sam is still in it on Top Chef, so I’m still watching it with a smile. More than anything else, I’m watching old CSI eps on Spike everyday. I really did love that show. I think I’ll give it another chance.

Well, I suppose I’m off to wait for the heating repair guys to call or show up. Since I bought the house, the auxiliary heat has been busted, so as the temperature dropped to -10 degrees last night, the regular heat couldn’t keep up and it’s currently a freezing 65 degrees in here. :cold:

[Edit: Man, did I get shafted! The sequencer was bad. Sequencers cost around $15.00. I was charged $59.00+ $76.00 labor. 😡 There goes Christmas.]

Homecoming

It’s homecoming week at the school. It’s not like it was back in our day. Now, no one really seems to even care about it. The sense of apathy is overwhelming and I don’t know if it’s ever going to get better. I have decided to sponsor the dance team at the school. Now I don’t know a DAMN thing about dance, but the girls that want to have the team don’t have anyone willing to supervise them and many of them have nothing else bonding them to the school, so I’ve volunteered. The only thing I can foresee me doing is drawing out energy from some girls while forcing some of them to rein it in. Heh!

I haven’t really said, “THANKS!” to all my pals lately, so, um, THANKS! I really appreciate you all 🙂

Second Verse…

Same as the first.  Work is just, um, wow.  I keep making the same corrections that I made earlier this year and things keep getting messed up (by others).  Yeah.  That’s how it is.  I’m sorry I haven’t been around much, but once the school year gets started and I do Dragon*Con, it’ll get better.  Promise.

I have to say, though, I’ve had a bit of LJ drama the past couple of days.  A very talented rec’er posted an eloquent poll about vidding and vid recommending.  I’m in awe of this person, so I answered.  I even left a comment about one of the subjects of the poll about visitors being turned off by bad graphics and poorly written summaries.  In my usual self-snarky way, I was like, “Aw, damn, my graphics SUCK and my few summaries do too.  I guess I’m in REAL trouble” or something to that effect.  The poster and a couple of other people were fun and nice and pretty much played along, but one chick, whom I have never heard of in ANY fandom was like, “Since you admit you suck at everything, I’ll NEVER watch your vids”.  Pfft.  Whatever.  This is a grown woman with cartoons (anime) on her site.  Just what vids of mine would this person even “get” anyway?!?  had the most lovely comeback and gawd! I just love him.  He said, “Well, if she can’t even understand your comment, your vids would be way over her head,” only entirely full of snarky goodness.  Yup.  He was just what I needed to put it behind me and um, get me back to work.  Hey, come to think of it, DAMN you, Ben.  I didn’t want to go back to work!  Hee!  Actually, the result of the whole ordeal is that I intend to use LJ even less than I already did, because I’m too old and apparently too witty for this crap.

G’night for now, and I hope to be back to my-crazy-posting-self soon!
