Posted by Julie in : Shorty , comments closedI’ve spent all day logged into my blog, trying to come up with a post. Now that it’s nearly five, and I still haven’t come up with a good idea? I’m just going to wish you all good weekend. Enjoy it, and if you have Lincoln’s birthday off (like I do) and were also able to take Monday off (like I was), really enjoy it.

Posted by Julie in : Shorty , comments closedI have to pee. I am simultaneously trying to plan a trip to Florida for next month with Rick and a trip to the spa in two weeks with Lori and Jordana. I may well explode.
ETA: Trip to Florida, booked. And I have peed. But I need to go again. Stupid water-drinking.
Coincidence? I think not. November 5, 2007 ~ 12:07 pm
Posted by Julie in : Da Cats, Random Insanity, Shorty , comments closedGame plan for today: relentlessly stalk the Blue Moon website to see when the new Raven series is launched, make a big hookin’ order with my 10% discount and the gift certificate Jordana’s mom got me for my birthday. This may or may not happen before I leave for the day, since I’m leaving early for Joe’s monthly bloodwork appointment at the vet’s. When we get home from that, there will be time enough to take a shower, change into my Polamalu jersey, and grab a beer before settling in front of the TV with my knitting to watch the Steelers-Ravens game. Hmmm…Raven series launched the day we play the Ravens. Coincidence? Probably about as much as there is between me taking the kitty to the doctor today and going to my own kitty doctor tomorrow.

Posted by Julie in : Craftiness Is Next To Godliness, Drama Queen, Shorty , comments closedIn preparation for our little theatrical mime-stravaganza “Everyone’s An Asshole” next Monday (details will be up next week for anyone who wants to see it), I went out and bought 45 pieces of poster board on my lunch break. Poster board in large quantities? Heavy and unwieldy. Really looking forward to the commute home this evening. In the rain. Not. (Nothing like a little Wayne’s World quote to get you through a rainy Friday, says me.)
Jordana and I are off to Rick’s this evening and then to Rhinebeck tomorrow morning. If you’re going to the blogger meet-up there, I’m going to be wearing my yellow and white Steelers cap and will be accompanied by a tall beautiful woman with dark hair (Jordana) and the cutest baby in existence. If we miss you at the meet-up but you see us wandering around the grounds? Stop us and say hi! We’re looking forward to seeing everyone!

Posted by Julie in : Shorty , comments closedThe carpal tunnel is acting up, the work servers just ate a long post, and it’s time for me to go home. So you get something just for kicks. (If you’re a Doctor Who fan, you’ll enjoy this, it was cut out of the “Last of the Time Lords” ep that aired on Sci-Fi last Friday because it ran long. Also, if you’re a Scissor Sisters fan? You’ll like it as well. And if you’re neither, you might not get as much enjoyment out of it, but it’s still pretty damned funny.) Here you go.

Posted by Julie in : Daily Grind, Shorty , comments closedI think last weekend can be summed up by the following quotes:
“I’m going to the bathroom. If someone wants to use my wheel…let them.” ~me, at the Spin-Out
“You realize that this camera means that for the next four birthdays and Christmases, you will only receive handmade poppets.” ~Rick, Monday morning
Today can be summed up by this quote:
“I really don’t want to be back at work.” ~me

Posted by Julie in : Shorty , comments closedJust because it’s freakin’ hot in the city does not mean it will be hot in Western Massachusetts. You can pretty much guarantee that the opposite will be true. Bring jeans and socks and sneakers and a warm hoodie.
You’d think I would know this by now, wouldn’t you?
I think I figured out how to spend my 30th birthday August 5, 2007 ~ 12:03 am
Posted by Julie in : Shorty , comments closedGetting a tattoo. Of this. Just the LED figures, not the rest.
Now I have about two months to decide if this is what I really want.
Mistaken Identity July 26, 2007 ~ 11:22 am
Posted by Julie in : Shorty, The Girls , comments closedRick’s birthday was a couple of weeks ago, during that time I spent off-blog in Pittsfield eagerly anticipating the new Harry Potter movie with the Oldest. The Oldest and I got a lot of quality time in that half week, but my favorite moment of it was when she found a picture of Rick and Samang. After a while she asked if it was Samang and I said it was, and then she admitted “I thought it was Dad and me at first, but I couldn’t figure out why he looked so old.”
I looked her dead in the eye and said “And Dad’s age is what tipped you off, huh? You didn’t look at the picture and wonder why you were black?”
“Actually, no.”
Her father didn’t find this nearly as funny as we did when we told him.
Deconstructing rock’n'roll love June 28, 2007 ~ 9:32 am
Posted by Julie in : Random Insanity, Shorty , comments closedWhen I was in college, I thought “Wonderful Tonight” by Eric Clapton was the most romantic song ever. It’s on the radio right now, and what I apparently didn’t take into account? Is that the romantic effusion of the song comes from Eric being drunk. At the end of the song he’s got a hangover and his woman puts him to bed and he tells her how wonderful she was.
So basically the song is the three phases of male drunkenness: buzzed (”Yeah, honey, you look wonderful! Let’s have sex!”), drunk (”Baby, everyone looks wonderful through my beer goggles! But you’d get pissed if I hit on them, so let’s have sex!”), and “I’m gonna puke, can I puke in your purse?” (”You are the best girlfriend in the world. I luuuuuuuurve you. Yerrrr wonderfulllll. Let’s have sex!” *passes out*)
Not so romantic when you look at it that way, huh?
