OMG, this rocks.
The first two seasons of Torchwood summed up on Facebook pages. I love it.

In my attempt to keep myself in entertainment at work, and since I'm catching up with the other podcasts I listen to, I downloaded "Fear on Demand". Boring (maybe it's me? since this is the second in a row with this review? naw.) I'm not sure if it's the readers or the stories. The worst part is I try and listen all the way though to see if it dose get better. Then it doesn't.
Oh well. On track for meeting today's deadline by Sunday. I'm really tired of this work. I've been doing the exact same corrections on the same page types for over a month now. I'd really like to think again soon. Though that doesn't look likely to happen any time soon.Current Mood:  bored Current Music: Fear on Demand |

The first issue of Icarus, a magazine of gay speculative fiction, arrived the other day. It was advertised as gay sci-fi and fantasy. Boring. There were hardly any sci-fi or fantasy themes in the stories at all. It did list a few books I might check out. But otherwise it was a waste of paper. Poor typesetting also. I'll probably give it one more try, if they have a 2nd issue. Should go leave a review...
Not much else. Need to call my sister soon, check up on Jack.
Cold today in Madison, high of 63. Same for the rest of the week.
Back hurts, looking forward to my next adjustment.
Kinda wanna play volleyball, but will have to wait till Sunday.
Have to work all weekend, even a shift at the mall. Wonder if I remember how to do that job.Current Mood: bored Current Music: Scream - Ima Robot |

We were told Tuesday that a good amount of our project time was going to be slanted to pandemic preparations. I replied automatically by saying that we need to come up our departmental zompocaplypse/zombegeddon plan. No one laughed.
What? Didn't anyone else read I Am Legend? Great world-wide virus reduces 99.99999% of the world's population to the undead who eventually reform a new society? Only question is are they going to be slow lumbering zombies like in the book or in the George Romero movies, or are they going to be feral flesh rippers in the 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later mold? Either way, we must be prepared! (Or not. Probably not. I think everyone just needs some levity this week.) |

I relistened to Prophet of Panamindora last few days at work. I was able to pick up a few new things. Still one of my favorite podionovels/series. I'd like to find/make the time to do some art. But art for this would take some research and testing, as I've not drawn half-animal people before. I have a few picture layouts in my mind and should at least outline them so I don't forget them. What I need is like 2-3 days off where I don't have anything else to do. A sort of cousin of mine (I forget how we are really realated) spent a few months up north at the cabin at the lake by himself working on writting, and that sounds like heaven right now. Though it wouldn't really work for me, as there is too much family for me to really get time off. It's not like I need or want to leave Madison, I just want time off where I don't have to worry about real life. But who doesn't, right?

Nope, this project isn't any better after 2 days away from it. Oh well.
Paul seems to be doing OK, he has today off also, for more recovery time.
We went to Play-it-Again Sports for their closing sale, but they only had left handed ball gloves left. So I'm still borrowing.
Tired, not quite sure why, but I am.Current Mood:  tired |

Paul is doing well. More pain and swelling today than yesterday. Might get worse tomorrow, before it starts getting better. Procedure only took like half an hour for all 4 teeth.
Half Blood Prince was great. The pacing was done really well. Might go see it again.

I spent a frantic 45 minutes this morning looking for my wallet. I hate it when I lose something and have no idea where I saw it last. It turned up between the door and the seat on the passenger side of my car. Wtf? But I have it, so my heart is back to normal.
Had to reset up my work computer again. When they do this I get like a month of non-crashing time, and then it starts doing it exponentially each day. Blah.
I'm actually getting my hair cut tonight. Only like 3 weeks late. So shaggy.
Going to get some work in this weekend, but not a lot. Saturday afternoon we are going to the Brewers game. Sunday I have a vball board meeting at 11am, then games starting at 3. Plus we kinda wanted to go to Art Fair on the Square.
I started listening to Prophet of Panamindora again. Now that I know what happens I am catching more things. And now that I know some "back ground" info on some of the characters, I'm paying close attention to them. There are tentative plans (and I hope saying this won't jinx it) to do some fan art. The biggest problem is trying to find the character descriptions, since I can't just find the page and study it, I have to find the time stamp and listen a few times. Might be more artistic license than normal.
My throat is all scratchy and I've been coughing painfully. I think I might be getting sick. Paul will kill me if I give him a cold.Current Mood:  sick Current Music: Were the World Mine |

I was so close to getting the files that were due on Tuesday done yesterday, but then a big step in the previous round wasn't done on a bunch of them, and that slowed me down a lot. I should have them out this morning. Then I can start on the stuff I should have started on yesterday. Enough to give one a headache. And its not just me, lots of people are unhappy with the project.
Michael and Johnny invited us out to Sun Prairie for dinner and movies. We educated Paul with Pirsilla, Queen of the Desert. Was a nice time.
This weekend's goal is to find a base ball glove at a garage sale. I need one ASAP, and they are already broken in (plus cheap).
We are bunny sitting again for a few days.Current Mood:  drained Current Music: Were the World Mine |

Had fun at volleyball. We actually pulled off 7 to 7 (or 7-up) in all three games. The team was ecstatic. I think we scare a lot of people with our excitement. Granted, this is mostly Sara, Matt, Amy and Jason. Me and Em are just along for the ride. Em also might join us for Harry Potter.
I think I might sleep in again tomorrow. Need some rest. Can't kill myself for this job. The work that was due yesterday might be done by tomorrow, if B is allowed to keep helping me. Only 2 days late, better than I expected.Current Mood:  exhausted Current Music: Were the World Mine |

Ended up forfeiting at softball again for not having enough players. I've been upgraded to the coach of the team. We'd be a good team if we could legally play. Per the city league rules we are a semi part of, if a team forfeits twice in a season that team can't play again the following season. I don't think that will apply though. If it dose I'll be pissed.
Big deadline today. No way to make it.
Kinda in a state of despair today, trying not to think about it.
We do have Harry Potter tickets for the midnight showing though. And we are going with the Sun Praire gays.Current Mood:  depressed Current Music: Were the World Mine |

Actually got into work for over time on Sunday. Then Paul and I cleaned the house, throughly. Michael came over and Paul and I car pooled with him to open play day at volleyball, Jess joined us. I played well, even got some compliments from other players. Lots of fun, and the other three enjoyed it too. Michael might join the league, Paul is considering it too. My face is kinda sun burnt.
Looming deadline tomorrow. Not gonna make it, unless I get help. And I don't think there is anyone available. Oh well, doing my best.
We play Jess's team tonight. Wish the game wasn't at 5:30 though. It'd be nice to put in more over time to try and make the impossible deadline.Current Mood:  busy Current Music: Escapepod |

The four of us went over to celebrate the 4th with Michael, the guy we met at softball, and his partner and friends. It was fun. They were basically the entire gay group in Sun Praire. All 6 of them. But they were all very welcoming and a blast to hang out with. I'm sure we will do stuff with them again soon.
At work now, after 3 days off. It wasn't enough. Especially since the first file I'm working on is being a bitch and crashing all the time.
Volleyball this afternoon. I can look forward to that.Current Mood: tired Current Music: Were the World Mine |
