No matter how much the magnetic flip cover of your cell phone case reminds you of a communicator, resist the urge to play Star Trek in the elevator and flip in open one handed, because your cell phone will come flying out and crash into the doors.

Thanks,
Yourself

Belcourt's owner says she'll retire, sell estate

Many on my friends list know the owner of Belcourt Castle is Harle Tinney. I have fond memories of doing events at Belcourt, and of listening to Harle play the organ in the early morning before a show.

Is there anything worse than doing online support chat? (for the rhetorically inept - yes, I know there is) I wish there was an option for "I am an IT professional, can we skip the stupid shit and just get right to what I know the problem is and send me my part"

And I swear if "Sam" tells me he's "extremley sorry" one more time, I'll scream.

I rarely carry cash (direct deposit, FTW) so when I opened my wallet today to look for an appt card and found a couple bucks crumpled inside from who knows when, it was an pleasant surprise. So, I went to Starbucks and treated myself to a Cafe Mocha - since I have glass class tonight and need the stimuli.

Ha - see what I did there...

And I got a free sample of coffee cake (my favorite) so it was win-win.

Today's xkcd: http://xkcd.com/557/

I can confirm that 18 years later, I *do* still have this dream. Except mine always includes me losing my class schedule and not even remembering where my classes are. The last time I had it, I remember thinking "You know what, I think I'm just going to drop out" so I'm curious to see if I have it again now.

Snow day for all three of us - that rarely happens! So, yeah it may be a pain in the butt but I'm happy right now :)

I'm posting this especially for mjolnir_babe, but I think other people will enjoy it as well - even if you're not much of a February 14th kind of person. :)

RIP Ricardo Montalban

Dear Immune System:

I realize that the rest of me is on vacation but, just for once, could you please keep working through the end of the year so I don't have to be sick EVERY New Years Eve? Come on, I treat you pretty well - is it really that much to ask?

Love and Happy New Year,
Me

I just spent almost an hour watching the worst freaking movie ever and saying "Where the hell is Brendan Fraser?" before I figured out I must have put the wrong 2008 version of Journey to the Center of the Earth in our Netflix queue.

bulrogue: Do you want some hot chocolate?
Me: No, I want the last 56 minutes of my life back.

Hugh Jackman to host Oscars

I might actually watch the whole thing this year and not just the Death Roll!

I know there are several of you that feel similarly to me when it comes to jewelry commercials - so I give you the latest video from Sarah Haskins (of "It's not real food, its yogurt" fame)
