fuck

currently, the Impudite is reading The Complete Chronicles of Narnia, which made me remember that, when i was working in a bookstore a couple of years ago, i found the individual books. being the anal-retentive bastard that i am, i place them all in what i thought was the correct order, the order that in which i'd read them in elementary school, beginning with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and ending with The Last Battle.

as i completed my project, i was feeling smug, until i noticed the little single digit numbers at the top of each books spine. the books were supposed to be in a different order than i remembered. gasp! then i realized that the sequence given by the little numbers was chronological for the store, i.e., the book set earliest in the history of Narnia (The Magician's Nephew) was first, followed by The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and so on to The Last Battle.

did i, as a child, just read them in the wrong order without realizing it? i don't think so (though, if i did, please let me know). one of the things i enjoyed about the books was their quirky chronology. in The Lion..., one thing is mentioned that seems to make absolutely no sense: the lamp-post. there's no reason to have it in the book really. it's just there. no explanation for it given. you just take it be one of those nutty things about Narnia. until The Magician's Nephew. now we know that it's as old as anything in Narnia, that it's an organic (so to speak) part of Narnia, and that it's something that came from our world. it's part of the connection between Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy and Digory and Polly.

reading them in the currently established sequence takes away from that. in the first book, you read about the lamp-post growing in Narnia. in the second, it's still there. "wow," you think to yourself. "it's old." and that's all you think to yourself. by the time you read Lion..., the lamp-post has lost the mystery it would have should have had, and, i think also, the book loses some of it's magick.

but that's just me.

oh... and Rich.... i've met you, so i don't believe it (dead link) *snicker*

are you drunk? what's that? oh yeah... you're using a Mac.. that's probably your problem.

i don't seem to have any problem with my Archives. if anyone else does, let me know (not to disprove Rich, but, rather, to confirm it for me).

"In science, medical researchers announce that they have cloned a $100 bill, and will no longer be dependent upon federal grants"
and
"In financial news, America Online announces the largest merger in history, in which it will acquire Time Warner in exchange for AOL stock valued at $160 billion, or, a little later in the week, $34."

hey! it's not my fault that the company i work for is happy with outdated software. i have IE 5.5 on my computer at home. i'm just not allowed to upgrade the one at work. so instead of ridiculing me, show some compassion!

come on, everybody! join me over at razzberry!

heh. a post about musicals back to back with one about hockey.

feeling butch now.

i saw a cable listing that read "Bruins vs. Dallas", and i immediately knew: a) it was a hockey game, and b) it should have read "Bruins vs. Stars" or "Boston vs. Dallas"

go manly me.

it cracks me up to see Treat Williams in Hair.

televangelists, politicians, and Blogger.

Anderson Cooper, who will be hosting ABC's The Mole, puts me at ease about his participation. i used to get up at 4a.m. just to watch him on World News Now. i didn't want him to end up as an embarrassment like Julie Chen.

Anderson's great, isn't he?

i'd never realized how ridiculous the premise for Anaconda is:

A snake expert dupes a documentary film team to help him search for a man-eating snake so that he can use the snake skins to make himself rich.

if he's willing to do all those terrible things to get rich (with snake skins, no less), then why not do something easier, like rob people or exploit the natives? no big-ass snake is gonna eat you then.

i'd also never realized that it was Jon Voight in that movie. i'm such a goob.

a ha! it's working now!

• fixed permalink problem (they work now)
• fixed archives problem (the archive's there now)
• fixed archives index page problem (have an archives index page now)
• blamed all the problems on Rich
  

i believe my day to be complete now. my boss would disagree though, so maybe i should get back to work.

why isn't this working?

Rich, sweetie, i think i'm going to need your help again.

i didn't know you hadn't seen that. it's one of my favorite movies

why am i having trouble linking to your posts?

Happy New Year

two responses: a) i'm such a knucklehead. i've never noticed the inner ring before. maybe i should turn on some lights in here. and it works too, so i got to see Hugh Jackman's screentest (which had a better Rogue-Wolverine driving conversation than the movie, i think).

my complaint about the mini-disc is that you have to register to use it (it said so, anyway. maybe i'm just gullible). i hate registering my software products. i don't want those people knowing where i live.

b) i wasn't just a floor associate, i was a Department Manager too, which meant that i could take some paperwork to the lounge and "look it over" for about three hours with no consequences.

i know i shouldn't torture the wal-mart people, but it's so much fun sometimes.

this fucking bites! i just got my "Limited Edition X-Men CD-ROM" (you know, the one you get by going to the website mentioned on the insert for the VHS of the movie). it's a mini disc! i can't play it on my computer!

bah! i say! bah! bah! bahbahbahbahbahbahbahbah!!!!

on the Weird Happenings front today:

i stopped by walmart this afternoon to pick up a few things. while waiting in line, i see a guy with an empty cart get into line for the next register over. he finally gets to the cashier, and asks "How much?"

she was perplexed (as was i) and asked back 'For the cart?' this set the man off.

"No!" he says, raising his voice. "For the wheat! I've got four goddamned bushels of wheat. How much?!"

luckily for the cashier, she didn't have to deal with him. a sheriff's deputy standing at the front door handled the situation.

but, just for kicks, if any of you are in the Wal-Mart Supercenter at 81st and Lewis in Tulsa, look for the cashier named Rhondea (spelled just like that), go through her line, and ask her how much the wheat costs. then, pretend that you didn't say anything about wheat, that you'd just asked how she was doing or something. suggest she seek psychiatric help.

wow. someone from the EPA stopped by my blog. i haven't received an email stating otherwise, so i will assume that my blog is fully EPA Compliant. go me.

i haven't played any type of drinking game since my freshman year at OU, and those sound fun. i think i'd be missing out on the point though, since, other than an occassional glass of wine, i don't drink alcoholic beverages at home, and chocolate milk just wouldn't have the same effect.

i knew you weren't talking about me. anytime someone calls me that, it's qualified with adjectives like 'evil', and 'heartless', or 'annoying' and 'clueless'.

yes, Clay's brother Shawn had a bit part as a security guard who had a vampire staked right in front of him. and that was about it. not much, but he got paid for it.

he! my boss is stuck in Illinois for the week, so there's no supervision.

President Clinton has signed legislation starting a 30-year, $7.8 billion effort to revive Florida's dying Everglades wetlands. What is most significant about this bill?


• Bill features a provision that guarantees Clinton a ride up front in one of those really awesome swamp boats with the big fans.
  
• 90 percent of the $7.8 billion goes towards construction of the all-new Everglades Outlet Mall and Food Court.
  
• Legislation was ruthlessly opposed by Jan Brady, who argued that America "only cares about the marshes! Marshes, marshes, marshes!"

Jean, did i ever mention that Clay's brother was in an episode of last season's Angel?

it's over.

i am home. i am safe. i am tired. i need a good nap, but then i won't sleep tonight and i have to work tomorrow.

adventures galore on the snow and ice, but i still hate cold weather.

my mother made out like a bandit this year. not only did she receive loads of gifts from everyone, but between her co-workers, my sister's Floridian churchmates, and my grandparents, she went home with $1400 cash to help recover from the house fire. generous and touching gifts like that led to joyful tears all around.

man, no one liked Lindsey's hair before he cut it.

oy! a couple of things from Popbitch.

A seven-year-old boy from Tasmania, Australia, pulled out all of his teeth with pliers. The reason? He wanted the tooth fairy to come and leave him enough money to buy a Britney Spears CD.

and...

Puffy this year claimed to be part Irish: "My name is Sean Coombs," he said, "so there's definitely an Irish connection there." Eejit.

ah dammit! i want one too! that's a cool looking toy.

and since Buffy's been mentioned, f.y.i., TVGuide named Buffy one of the top ten shows of the year, and mentioned the whole Bad-Ass-Who-Turns-To-Mush-When-Buffy's-Around Spike.

how cool is it to turn over your box of Kleenex brand facial tissue and find A Fun Fact About Germs from Bill Nye the Science Guy?

have you ever wondered what it'd be like to own a set of ... uh..."silicon pleasure devices" molded in to the shape of some major Biblical figures? neither have i. but someone makes them. not for those without a perverse, sacrilegious sense of humor.

i'm going to hell for posting that link.

you know, it figures that i finally get irritated with Blogspot being down, that i move my blog to ::shudder:: Geocities, and as soon as i get it done, Blogspot's back up. maybe my blog was the one that was screwing everything up.

liers.

my sisters say the same thing, Jean (about men, not the unicorn. i don't think my sisters watch Buffy). [dead link] Rich, though, is a generally helpful person, and he has a job like mine, in which he doesn't actually have to do much work.

growing up is over rated. i tried it for a while, but it sucked, so i regressed. it left its scars though.

i'm glad you dance to the Powerpuff Girls song, i'm glad you own more toys than both of my nephews combined, i'm glad you watch Saturday morning cartoons. if you'd turned into one of those old fogies like nearly everyone else we went to high school did, we'd have some serious problems. and my life would be much emptier for it.

cool! i found my first Conspiracy Theory website. aliens, bigfoot and JFK! woo hoo!

there's something very unnatural about drinking orange juice from a can.

it really sucks when you lose your pager. i'm feeling a bit depressed over it. i don't think i have the will to work today. i should go home.

i've come down with something again. it think it's a head cold, as i seem to have no respiratory troubles. i didn't sleep much last night, even after the Tylenol Cold and Flu Nighttime. liers they are.

additionally, i left the television on last night, and i woke up to Simon and Simon. not a pleasant experience.

chocolate milk! chocolate milk! yummy yummy chocolate skim milk!

by the by, i've moved. i'm now at Geocities. for now. [edit 6/10/05 - back for now at blogspot after all this time]

silly, naive Rich. it has nothing to do with democracy. we have troops there because some shadowy level of our government knows that, in that particular area, there are powerful demons bound to subterreanean prisons by ancient wards that are being weakened by some unknown force. that unknown force is also responsible for all the violence and bloodshed, as it's stinking taint corrupts everyone who lives in the area too long.

democracy be damned. we're trying to stop an ancient evil from conquering the Balkans.

wtf? for what? what the hell did he do to deserve to be Time's Person of the Year.

and take a look at the runners up (runner ups?), a.k.a, People Who Mattered (that's what they called it, not me). Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak are both named for not negotiating peace. Eminem is named for....? i'm not sure. and Richard Hatch, for getting naked, i guess. Elian Gonzalez, for just existing.

there are some real choices, like Vicente Fox, Kofi Annan, and John McCain, but all the other names are dubious. they seem more like the nominees of entertainment magazines than for a serious (and respected) news magazine. maybe Time and AOL are a better match than previously believed.

yes, Rich, but she was just a reporter. i doubt that she was driving the van or operating the equipment. she was probably sitting there in the back of the van, touching up her make-up, and thinking to herself 'ok, who do i know that can manufacture some great story for me to cover, good enough that they'll bump that Kiki bitch off the anchor desk and put me there. i deserve it, dammit! i was Miss Crawford County, Missouri 1995, for chrissake!" then, suddenly--ZAPP!!!-- she's a crispie critter.

the McD's Coffee Woman is a different matter. she shouldn't have won a dime, because she did something stupid that she should have known better than to do, thus she caused her own injuries. the reporter was injured because of someone else's (the driver's or the equipment operator's) negligence or incompetence, and someone else's (the manufacturer's and employer's) negligence or shortsightedness. in addition to losing her forearm, her foreleg, and part of the remaining foot, she probably also lost her career, Miss Crawford County or not.

[update 6/02/05 - embarrassed to admit, but my denunciation of the McDonald's Coffee Woman was unjustedfied. In the few years since I'd written that, I've actually read something about the case instead of listening to repeated tales from other people]

so, i decided to go out and finish my christmas shopping today, and i pulled up the current weather map (it was current when i looked) from the Weather Channel. it showed clear skies, with the nearest precipitation well over one hundred miles away.

"cool! i should be able to get finished before anything bad gets here," i thought to myself. i take a look out the window, and the sky's overcast and it's snowing!

so much for the Weather Channel.

an experiment to discover whether the The Six Beer Theory is true.

i'm heading out early today. i have to find out what happened to Moira.

but Rich! she lost portions of limbs over this. yeah, it'd be funny if it just given her a good shock, but she's only buying a quarter of a pair of shoes now, and half a pair of gloves.

celine dion jokes are always funny.

the people in HR who do the training bring down more and more training-work for me to check. i've spent all afternoon doing this. it sucks. this work thing is getting in the way of my surf time.

Moira MacTaggert died? would someone tell me when? and Senator Kelly's dead too? was he assassinated? isn't that supposed to be what starts the Days of Future Past timeline?

speaking of Robbie Williams, although i think he's very attractive and wouldn't mind watching him on the Silver Screen, i'm just not sure he should be the Next Bond™

please, Pierce, won't you stay? i'll give you a shiny quarter if you do!

what's with all the crappy christmas programming? it's either the same old thing (which, i guess, is usually called Traditional), or it's something new that just sounds like crap, e.g.:

• All Dogs Christmas Carol --if it has Scooby Doo, Scooby Dumb, Scooby Dee, Scappy Doo, and Astro, it might be interesting.
  
• Angel of Pennsylvania Avenue --Hillary?
  
• The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas --don't most of them?
  
• Like Father, Like Santa --starring Kirk Cameron and Dudley Moore?
  
• Munster's Scary Little Christmas --you know this is lame
  
• The Last Polar Bears --is this an apocalyptic film?

on the other hand, there are some shows that i'd like to see:

• The Nightmare Before Christmas --this should be a Christmas Classic
  
• A Wish For Wings That Work -- good any time of the year
  
• A Muppet Christmas Carol --the best telling of a holiday classic
  
• Robbie the Reindeer in Hooves of Fire --ok, i just want to see this because the credits list Robbie Williams first, and i want to see if it's this Robbie Williams, or just someone with the same name. if it's the latter (or, if it's animated, which it probably is), then move this one up to my Crap list.

my phone rang four times. my phone has caller ID, so i know it's the same number calling each time, and each time i answered, the person hung up. it's was really pissing me off, which is why, the 5th time it rang, i was quite rude about it.

this time though, there was a tiny, female voice on the other end: 'this is So-and-So with Telecommunications. i'm having some trouble with the line.. it's not going where i want. i'm sorry!'

i felt bad. for all of half a second. she should have told me that the first time. i wouldn't have been so irritated.


on another (but possibly related) note:

my milk tasted a little funny this morning, so i didn't drink it. that may be contributing to my irritability. that, and the fact that i came to work early. so overall, i'm just not a pleasant person today.

hooray! Jeanie did make it to work afterall! i'm so happy! but, because she has so much email to catch up on, i'll wait a bit before i start bugging her.

i disagree with Rich about this. yeah, it's expected that the microscoping masts may strike overhead powerlines, but wouldn't you also expect that those inside the van would be protected when it hit?

(and why am i still having trouble linking to your posts?)

woke up early this morning. decided to come to work. a pleasant drive in light traffic. wondered to myself, "why don't i start coming in early every morning?" because, dumbass, that means you have to get up EARLIER. that ain't gonna happen.

oh yeah... i almost forgot... mikey was watching Voyager with me last night, and he says "man, i'm starting to get into this show."

yes! maybe i won't have to feel bad when he comes over on wednesday nights.

speaking of mikey, he came over last night with a couple of days of beard growth. grr! he looked sexy! but he's not keeping it. ::sigh::

We've said it before and we'll say it again: You're the coolest friend a person could have. You're smart, loyal, cool, and an awesome dresser! You're always up for helping out, are sensitive of other people's feelings, and don't' even let those nerd-like tendencies of yours get in the way of your social life. You've got the balanced-life thing down to a science. And that is so cool. We totally dig it. Our only problem with you is that sometimes you're so busy being a good friend you don't let yourself get the attention you deserve! You're a star in your own right. Take credit for it once in a while. Don't get made up like girl-next-door Reese Witherspoon. Go for the bold Lucy Liu look once in a while! Your friends won't mind - if they're as good friends to you as you are to them. It's your turn to shine!

so what does everyone think? should i try the Lucy Liu look?

[from the popbitch newsletter]

speaking of driving in inclement weather, i mentioned to my landlord/roommate that i don't like driving on ice and snow, and he decides to take that as an opportunity to lord his superiorness over me:

"you Oklahomans don't know how to drive on snow," he says to me as he's shoveling the snow around his stuck-in-the-snow truck. strangely, though i'm stupid, I didn't get stuck anywhere.

also, motherfucker, you're an Oklahoman too. the only places you have ever lived were:

• here in Tulsa, with your parents
  
• here in Tulsa, 3 miles from your parents (in a house they bought for you, i might add. they must have wanted you out of their house really badly. prick)

i'm irritable this this morning. because of the snow, i couldn't get my chocolate milk, and Jeanie's not at work.

i guess she's still snowed in. despite my best efforts, i was still able to make it to work today, though i was an hour late. i get really bored at work when i don't have someone to email all day long.

ho hum. Jeanie! where are you?!?

i shouldna got out of bed this morning.

Famke as the next terminator? Adrian Paul getting a new series? why hadn't i heard about this earlier?

cool! tim got to meet Sabretooth! should have popped him in the nose to see if that healing factor would kick in.

afterward, of course, you'd have been unable to write about meeting Sabretooth.

i followed the link to Tyler Mane's website, and took a look at his Projects section. i didn't know that Mr. Mane is a veteran of the musical theatre:

[Tyler Mane] drew strong reviews as the lead role of Dean Rebel in the San Diego Repertory production of a wrestling musical entitled 'Turbo Tanzi'

yes! i'm actually snowed in! i don't have to make an excuse!

should i first bitch about how cold it is and how much i hate the cold, or should i bitch about the hour long, four mile drive from work tonight.

i hate snow.

had a brief conversation with In the Closet Boy today at lunch. he was snowed in and bored today (he thought he was bored, until he talked to me. then, he discovered what boring is...). but, the guy's even unluckier because, though he's snowed in from school today, he still has to go to work.

i'm fairly sure that i'd rather go to school than to work. i'm even surer that i'd rather not have to do either when it's been snowing.

if it snows here tonight like it's supposed to, i won't be coming to work tomorrow. i'll make sure i can't make it. i will slide my car of the road if need be. i will claim that the snow is much heavier on my side of town. whatever it takes. i want another day off. for once, i want to actually call in and say, "i can't make it today. there's too much snow."

thinking more about the original X-Men series... inexplicably, they gave Wolverine an Australian accent. i know that many Americans have a hard time distinguishing between various English-language accents, like Scottish vs Irish, but there's a huge difference between Australian and Canadian (which, afaik, is where Wolverine is from). Canadians sound like us! heck, they're practically American anyway (or is it that Minnesotians and Wisconsoners are practically Canadian?). damned Hollywood.

a review of an episode of X-Men:Evolution. it sounds a bit like the original X-Men animated series, the one that only had one episode about meeting Kitty Pryde(Pryde of the X-Men... get it? Kitty Pryde... Pryde of the X-Men..hahaha), but, much more importantly, it was one of only two X-Men non-comic book anything that had Dazzler in it's regular cast. the other was the original arcade game, and no, i'm not talking about that silly X-Men vs Streetfighter game.

i loved that game. you and 5 others could play at the same time on a double screen, each player with a different character. they all had their own moves and mutant powers (they gave Colossus an energy spark power... wtf?). i was a master at the "Dazzler Light Ball Slamdunk" and the "Dazzler Cartwheel Grab-n-Throw". i could make it through all the levels, beat all the mini-bosses (like the Blob, Juggernaut, White Queen, and Mystique), then kick Magneto's ass, without using mutant powers, on a single play.

i spent many, many hours of many, many nights of my freshman year playing that game. it was the single biggest reason that i almost never made to my Russian and Political Science classes.

i miss Dazzler.

heh, i love the onion:

[oops! mutant link viahim]

mutants are so fucking cool. but it'd suck to live in the world of the X-Men and have this mutant power. the other mutants would make fun of you.

poor sick little sturtle. i've never really cared for Sesame Street, and never watched Zoom, but i do know that Zoboomafoo is on during the day, and it's a great show. i love lemurs, and the Kratt brothers, despite the fact they're dumbasses.

this freaking sucks. my friend Brian, who has been living in St Louis for almost a year now, is still winning stuff from radio stations here. i just got a call from K-Hits, asking for him, because he'd won a $300 scooter.

when he was in town last weekend for his father's funeral, he'd called the station to play one of their little games, and was entered in the drawing for that damned scooter. he'd given them my address and phone number. and he won. bitch.

looking through some of Jean's old posts, i find where she talks about night terrors, something i think i suffer from often.

that link led me to search for hypnogogic hallucinations and sleep paralysis both something i suffer from frequently.

when i was a child, i was a sleepwalkerer. i don't think i do that anymore though.

something i do still do, and often, is a hypnic jerk, a.k.a. sleep jerk or sleep start (i've also seen it called something like 'onclonic jerk' but i can't seem to find anything about that now). everything i read on hypnic jerk says it happens once a night, just before you go to sleep. it happens to me multiple times nightly, and it's usually accompanied by a short (15 or 20 seconds) nightmare-type episode, and it doesn't involve a feeling of falling or anything like that.

anyway, all of that is just a long introduction to this:

i love the word somniloquy (something else i used to do alot as a child).

oh, and before anyone says that it wasn't very nice of me to watch television on our 6 month anniversary, it wasn't my idea. mikey wanted to stay in and not leave the house (except to get soup). so it's his own fault he had to watch X-Files.

for those who keep track of such things (which i believe to be just me and mikey), Sunday marked the 6th month point in our relationship. we celebrated by watching X-Files. woo hoo!

you'd think that, after 6 months, he'd know that there are certain nights-- no, not even that-- certain shows that i watch, and i cannot be separated from the tv. exactly 5 and a half hours worth every week. he's not much into sci-fi, and that covers half of my viewing period. instead of finding something else to do, though, he sits there with me and watches it.

yeah yeah, it sounds sweet that he's watching something he doesn't like just because i want to see it, but it's not. it's torturous. i feel bad that he's watching something he doesn't like and has no interest in, so i'm distracted from the show and can't enjoy it. until he says something like "they should just cancel X-Files since David Duchovny's not on there anymore," or "they should just blow up Voyager. there's never gonna make it home."

i think he does it intentionally, just to get my hackles up and get me talking. he enjoys seeing me get all worked up about something insignificant. but it's just not nice, because then i miss something that may have been important to the show.

i think i need to start taping X-Files and Voyager, and then watching them everytime he comes over. he'd eventually tire of all the sci-fi, and maybe he'd just go to sleep whenever something good is on. or maybe he'd start coming over on the nights when i watch no television. or maybe he'd start getting into the shows, want to watch them all the time, and i'd get sick of them.

it's friggin' cold in here! i hate winter.

good lord! i now have a third reader! woo hoo! a fifty percent increase in readership! so, to anyone else who stops by here, go take a gander at In the Closet Boy and say "hi!" he's one of my daily reads, and can be a lot of fun.

for the geeks out there (and strangely, this applies to the only two people who read my blog), here's some week old Trek "news". mostly, it just seems like rumor repeated ad nauseum.

check out some of the art from Ultimate X-Men. and what do you think about the new look for Ms. Grey?

i'm such a fag for getting excited about this, but Ab Fab's coming back for another season!

i like green too.

how nice this must be for you. unfortunately, i live only 4 miles from work, and Tulsa does a fairly good job of getting its major streets clear early. so i'm here at work, one of the three people in my department to make it in today.

the good news for me is that the parking lot is about half empty. i should have much less work to do today than i normally would, not that i ever have much to do anyway.

"I couldn't go down to the bar because there were too many fans. So I would just sit in the room, watch a movie and drink a shot of Jack (Daniels) or a beer."- A.J. McLean, Backstreet Boy, whining about how hard his life is.

he couldn't go down to the bar because there were too many fans? when did they start letting 15 year old girls into bars?

my theory: he couldn't go down to the bar because he knew he'd get his ass kicked, because EVERYONE who isn't a 15 year old girl would love to kick the crap out of a Backstreet Boy. or two. or five.

Jean has to mention something about some spoilers for Buffy. she makes it out to be all terrible and wonderful, so i get excited and try so hard to resist. i couldn't though, so i follow the link and am soon faced with hundreds of posts. then my natural lazy-slackerness kicks in and i lose all interest because i'd have to work to find it. praise to being a part of GenX.

sounds like something i'd want to see. hooray for Sundance!

thanks to this guy for the link.
