Fluke! - Sounding Dive

So I did the TF quiz everyone else is.   Two things, unworthy of a cut, imho.  Sorry?

Who's got two thumbs and is unsurprised? This guy. XD


Find out which Transformer you are at LiquidGeneration!

Case in point... Tuesday, day 3 of work, they sent me to get a donated printer and set it up. This thing, is HULK class, Xbox huge.  I cannot underestimate the massiveness of this thing.  It practically makes you coffee and goes into orbit to collect meteoroids.

Set up and printing like a dream.



Why doesn't your printer work?  Because you are obviously not Wheeljack.  ♥

In other news, today I was on a boat.  And it. was. awesome.

Ok, SHUSH!  I am one of those that can't see DotM, yet.  But awesome people are coming and we will all see it together.  Go Not!Con!  XD

Thank you to everyone LJ cutting spoilers. You rock, and eventually I will fangasm with you.

Though seriously and tangentially related, I love xkcd.  I love geek humor.  I love when I don't get the joke and *gasp* need to go learn something.  >3  I love when he pokes fun at something that is in some way my demographic.

And I love this comic.  Here.



Fandom, much!?  Mwahaha.  *waits on intending to fully enjoy DotM, because that's how I roll*

Because I have the resistance of a highly conductive metal...  and that is physics geek for NEXT TO NONE...

Anyway.  Meme, please?  Maybe this breeds ideas that I can shamelessly credit to people?  *Much loves*

Comment with any ship (romantic or platonic or maybe even non-existent!) from a fandom that you know I have some knowledge about, and I will rant about aforementioned ship. This may be incoherent gushing or exclamations of disgust, depending on your ship of choice.

Stole'd from... uh... much of my flist... currently at the top of the list is... drumroll please... mmouse15  But I think there's 4 or 5 others...

Ok, if I had posted this Thursday night, it would have been all 'woe is me' and self-flagellation of how awful I feel for making a mistake.

If I had posted this.... hmm... Friday around dinner time, this would have been "stupid stuff happens, and everything's pretty ok."

If I had posted this Friday night around 3 am, this would have been terribly annoyed and frustrated.

But I am posting this now.  At some time after noon on Saturday, so I am really just a few cognitive markers above comatose.  It's long, too long.  I just had to recount and rant.  It's better now.

( The long and not-so-short of it... )

Oh, look.  LD tagged me.  Erm...

Standard rules: People who have been tagged must write the answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new, original question.

Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you!

I tag, Ruu, Kitteh if she reads this, you, you at the back hoping if you keep your head down, yes- you picking your nose.... blah!  XD  Do it if you want.

( Silly answers )

Ok, so I am mooching  back at the parentals while on the job hunt.  Part of keeping sanity is staying up late enough to have the house seem to be just me.  Now, to be nice, I hide downstairs in the mancave so the light doesn't keep the rest of the house up.  I wrangle the doggies with me during the evening, then go upstairs to brush my teeth and go to bed with my herd.

One of the dogs, likes to midnight snack.  Or really, just snack whenever he damn well pleases.  It got to the point where he learned to open the cupboard where we keep the dogfood, and he could be nine whole pounds of unholy growling wrath if we caught him.  He'd never actually bite, but he puts on a hell of a show like he's going to take your arm off. 

( At least he makes life interesting... )

I could not make this shit up. ♥

I’m jumping aboard the WIP meme wagon. Wagons, ho! (Seriously, I think I’ve had a good chunk of people on my flist that have done this.)

Ok, the mission, that I chose to accept is thus: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

( WhIP it good! )

Now, I have decided to turn this into a writing exercise. So, if something sounds interesting, you can request a bit. And I promise (though it has to be on my honor, so it might take a little time) that I will write a shiny new snippet to share. Maybe it will help get gears grinding. I’d honestly love some of these to move from the “my WIP” folder toward the “My done fic” folder. ♥

ETA: Proof these things are new writings... I SEE TYPOS  *manic 3 AM laughter*  ...and seriously, some are kinda dumb.  *whaps self*

So I had a dream this morning that was oddly vivid, and I must have woken up at the right moment to remember it.

( Cut for absolute insanity... o.0 )

Ok, I have never ranted about politics here. But this, it... is just disgusting.

Republicans are simply refusing to let ANYTHING get done until they get their Bush tax cuts continued.  And there are bills waiting in the Republican thumb-up-their-ass queue about immigration, Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and PASSING HEALTHCARE FOR SEPT. 11TH FIRST RESPONDERS.

Jon Stewart opened The Daily Show with the issue on the 13th.  Just watch it.   I dare you not to be appalled.

Daily Show, Dec 13

He is livid, it's obvious. 

And let me just say this again.  People that went immediately to the rubble of the World Trade Center, to help people with no thought for their own safety, the way that police and fire fighters and EMTs do on a regular basis... running in when everyone else is running out... are being denied a bill that will help take care of medical bills for injuries (things like cancer, heart and lung diseases) incurred at Ground Zero. 

This bill will not even be discussed until Republicans are assured the richest of the rich don't get a 3% tax hike.  The tactic of grinding the Senate to a halt until they get their way... is utterly juvenile and infuriating.  What about all the "adult conversation" campaign talk?  It's disgusting!

Tonight, Jon Stewart brought the issue up again.  None of the major networks have covered how this breakdown in the Senate over tax cuts is holding up the Zadroga bill.  There were first responders from New York talking about their health problems, how their medical bills are not covered because their issues "might not have been sustained in the line of duty."  Throat, lung and face cancers from the dust, and these people are being denied the medical coverage.

I was in tears. 

And for some strange reason, ABC, NBC, FOX (*snort*) are not calling the Republicans on the carpet for ignoring important issues in favor of ensuring more money for people that arguably have enough, already.

I'll add the link to tonight's Daily Show when it goes up.  Daily Show Dec. 16

I mean, personally.  I was in Boston at college where I could see Logan Airport on 9/11.  About a third or more of my school was from the NYC area and I spent the day with a friend who could not get in touch with her family because all the phone and cell line overloads.  And many in my family have been firefighters in the New York city, Rye, NY and New Jersey area.  I have many friends I grew up with that are police and fire fighters.  So on some levels I am personally touched.  All that aside, I think this bill, the immigration bill and repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell should be addressed immediately, if not sooner.

But just as a person with a soul, this filibuster shit is sick.

Stolen from a bunch of people on my flist.

1. Comment in this post with a pairing, a character, or theory.
2. I shall write you back a paragraph explaining what I think about it (good, bad, indifferent) and why.
3. Repost in your own journal if you want.

So, I started today really really grumpy.  For a large variety of reasons that mainly revolved around my own ideas / self / etc. being utterly inconsequential.  I'm much happier now.  (Torturing / teasing / smutting Lennox always helps.) 

But anyway.  Ask me stuff!  It might not be immediate, but I'll answer.  ♥ ♥  Or pull something semi-plausible out of my aft.  >3
