Re: Yay!

There's just something about hearing a new song on the radio, finding it on youtube, then abuse the replay button on it with headphones turned up.

In reply to Cuddly Cthulhu (msg # 447):

Thank you so much for posting this notice! I would have missed it. I was able to gather up all my friends to watch. We had a little Premiere Party. We prepped with the Sailor Moon Movies last night and then started the day with the new show. It was a blast!

I really love The Rose of Versailles and Revolutionary Girl Utena, so I thought it was beautiful.

Re: Yay!

My cat Oreo has been missing for days.  We left to go camping over the weekend, and when we got home he wasn't there.  Three days of searching and calling the animal shelters in the area, nothing.

Oreo came home just a little while ago!  So happy ^_^

Re: Yay!

Time to celebrate the little victories...

For the first time EVER, I finished a round of golf with the same ball I had when I started.  My score was only marginally better than last time, but I normally lose two or three balls each round (I find more than I lose, which makes it difficult for me to get rid of all the crappy old golf balls I inherited with my dad's clubs...but it does save me a chunk of change on golf balls).  So, to go from the first tee to the last hole with the same ball?

I consider that a breakthrough event, of sorts.  I didn't even have to fish it out of a water hazard.

Re: Yay!

So Terry Goodkind announced the death of Richard Rahl. I really hope it doesn't turn out to be one of those things like what Zed did to Kahlan. I stopped reading the series at 6 or 7. It was a viscious circle. If it really is over, I'll be glad.

Re: Yay!

Put myself out on a limb today and pitched a couple of show ideas for our Halloween season to my boss.  No idea if we'll end up using them or not...but he liked the ideas, and agreed with a lot of what I said about why I opted to use what I did for them.

There's a lot of changes in the works for our department...if I can get myself positioned to be more involved with the creative end of things, so much the better.  I like our current artistic director, as an individual...but sometimes I feel like he's more worried about not doing something wrong than he is about doing something right.  And I feel like he's very often more worried about showing off the vocal abilities of the performers than he is in trying to engage the audience and get them into the show.  If the management shift involves people agreeing with my assessment, I'd be quite happy to have them thinking that I'm a good option to put together something with some solid audience appeal.

Time will tell...but the first move's been made, and if nothing else, my boss knows that I'm interested in doing more than just what they've been having me do for the last decade.  We'll see where it goes from here.

Re: Yay!

As I've been stressed out for the last few weeks with getting the family's move arranged, my teen daughter is (as I type) soaking my feet and giving me a pedicure.  This is after she brushed my hair and after the pedicure comes a facial scrub.

I don't know what she wants, but she's going to get it.  :)

I haven't seen Tacky, not sure I know the original video well enough to fully appreciate it, but have you seen Foils?  I think it's pretty funny, and shows that Al isn't a bad singer.

I would say that Richard Lived On and Terry Goodkind is surely bound to have a reason for advertising his subsequent death other than money grubbing, but the implication sounds somewhat like slander. Basically the Sword of Truth kept repeating the same ol' "Richard loves Kahlan but in order to get back with her he needs bigger magic to fix the big magic he had caused in the last book" and presumably this 'big conclusion' is that he doesn't need to fix any more magic. Chances are though, with him advertising Richard's Death on his facebook page, he probably isn't going that route.

Don't get me wrong, it was still a better love story than Twilight for the first seven or 8 books.

Oh I got out several books before you then. The last book I read was the one where he made the sculpture.

Re: Yay!

It got... confusing at points after that. Might be I need to reread em idk. It just felt more and more like he was grasping for straws and easy plot points after that. Some of em I do not remember making much sense. Then again there are some good time gaps between books for me.

True, but a lot of his parodies don't really showcase his singing IMO.

Re: Yay!

As I do the final dry wall repair, painting, shoe mould installation, tiling, and electrical for the house to be ready for rental, I'm bopping along to Weird Al's Handy. Yeah, this ones a good album. :-)

And for all that this is ton of work that needs to be done, tomorrow I turn the house over to property managers to take care of renting it out. I'll be out of here and back with the Hubby in our new home.

Re: Yay!

The apartment is clean, there are no errands to run for the day, I've actually made leaps and bounds in editing my novel, and I have an afternoon of catching up with over college friends planned via skype and bonding through the shared rage of League of Legends.

Mmm, a good weekend!
