as observant as i am, i just realized TODAY that loudtwitter went down at the beginning of the month. that was the service that was copying my twitter posts daily to a post here. derp. still trying to figure out what i want to use that will do this automatically for me, rather then having me have to use something different for posting. i like the idea of only having to post to twitter and have something else duplicate the info for me, letting me use any twitter client i want. as opposed to having to use a specific client that will post to twitter as well as lj and fb and anything else. besides, i dont need 3-17 posts per day outside of twitter for status updates.


in other news, boston is wet. and full of racial accusations and west nile virus.

if it hadn't already died, i would have posted links to the wolverine trailer that leaked, also from comicon.
and apparently early buzz will DESTROY BOX OFFICE INCOME rather then add to peoples excitement, so the videos have already cease and desisted.

however the W. trailer is still up.

ill let everyone decide on their own for that one.


lolla in under a week. kellie and holly and hollys friend(s?) and i are gonna jam, jam, and then jam some more. coming back to work monday after nine inch nails into well after midnight, followed by a 7+ hour drive to be back to work at 9am will likely kill me. please send me your best wishes before then.

amy sent me this today to make me giggle. i totally needed it.


tara sent me a gigglepic as well, but its too huge for heres a picture for susi that relates to our xfiles discussion last night over ice cream and portal technology.



in my terminator obsession news. i was hanging out in some run down parking garage with peitso, carl weathers (or a look alike) and some lady (switch from the matrix?) when john connor (thomas decker) shows up. 10 years eariler then hes supposed to according to mr. weathers. we get into some kind of wonkavator and fly around the city. its run down like the garage and leaning on the metal gate, i feel like i may fall out. it is pre-judgement day. oh well, at least no terminators looking to seperate my brains from the rest of my body.

if comcast wasnt bad enough already being the walmart of cable companies. they still have policies, both internally regarding employees and purchase decisions, and towards their customers for which they (they being the corporate entity, not classifiable as living by current deffinition) have nothing but contempt, with nothing more in mind then making a quick buck and lavishing in luxuries afforded to them (them being the few individuals at different managent/decision levels) by other companies with the same thoughts.

i have a SEVEN DOLLAR late fee for being one month behind on my bill. a tad excessive, but arguabally acceptable. i have a modem of theirs i use which i was not being charged for, so they added the charge for that, acceptable. this lack of charging was their mistake and i am willing (have) to pay these charges going forward. however, i am also charged a $2 service change fee, for their mistake of not initially adding this charge to my account. while $2 is not a big deal monetarily, on principle, its huge. think of the money they are raking in from the number of customers that do not put up any kind of stand because...its just $2. unacceptable. there is no reason i should be punished for their mistake. i cant disconnect my service, since it is a government allowed duopoly, theres no alternative choice. i HAVE to use their service. they know this. that however does not give them the right, in my mind, to harass customers in this manner because they do not properly train their employees to do the job right the first time. that however is an entirely different argument im not wanting to get into right now.

im taking this one to the matress.
i dont fully understand that statement. maybe if i watch the godfather someday i will.

and fuck you startrek.com. when i need something to watch, ill go check out the episode of the day. next gen, encounter at farpoint. i dont have seasons 1-2 picked up. ok, fine. ds9, emissary. FUCK. ok ok, voyager, caretaker. *headdesk* pls respond with ur favorite episodes, of any series.


im out of kahlua, so im going to have improvise for any additional white russians tonight.


i made fidelity upset today by asking them to send me a check for all of my money they were holding onto. slightly over $11k. its all retirementified, so i will NOT be buying a motorcycle or anything with it.


of course the video thats been in my head all day has "Embedding disabled by request" but this one is rly well done AMV featuring my favorite anime and favorite dj.

i am excited about that possibility.
fridays are always annoying here. all network admins apparently like to wait until the end of the week to address any problems they have.

big weekend. 2 parties, mini-roadie followed by sledding, and probably a sleep over! plus next week has a nobot show, a dentist appointment, and a weekend house guest arriving. gah, it feels nice to finally get out of slow slow winter. even if it is only 0° out today.

proof bush is evil...LOOK WHO HE'S WAVING TO!


i believe if a picture like this had been made public earlier in his term, and impeachment would have been inevitable.


and random links to come back to at some point.
Japan has less scary robots.
Moses was high.
and from last week from celestialbeingu: Classic movies re-dubed by the Spongebob cast. total awesome can be found here.

speaking of celestialbeingu, since i havent mentioned it and though you would be intersted. our favorite super scientist was in the last episode of terminator. no word on a second season, but if there is, mr. urbaniak is setup to be a main antagonist. (and probably not a machine)

i cant have nice things because i dont allow myself to have nice things. THAT'S, the secret.
so aside from that, 1 coworker out of my team of 4 is out sick today, the new guy just quit, and when my boss started today, we had 5 new and 9 pending incidents. plus phone calls.
im worried about the vacation i want to take.

at least its almost 3. a day like this will be over before i even realize it.


and, an ecard for myself.


probably from taras. THANKS! A BUNCH!

had some leftover at work that didnt get all used up, so i didnt have to fill my face with folgers today. nice.

althought if THIS happened, when i drank folgers...


i HATES my dvr. he decided to cut out the first 5 minutes of american gladiators on monday, so i missed the first gauntlet run. then, it decided to delete the whole episode down to 1 minute. WTF. and after this, it also decided that i did not need to watch the second episode of terminator. ok, thank you dvr for trying to curb the slight tv viewing habbits i do have. but in all honesty...fuck you.

sounds kinda nice right about now. as i just discovered that the pipe to my downstairs bathroom has frozen. and while it is supposed to get up to 33° this weekend, it will go right back down to twenty-something by tuesday. hopefully i can get it to thaw tonight before it bursts. if it hasn't already.

time to take some serious action against these unrelenting, godless minnesota winters.
speaking of godless!! thanks to manna_panna, further proof of the armpit of america.

oh hay! look what im doing!



oh right, i knew there was a reason for that subject. as long as there are no delays in minneapolis or denver, ill be in phoenix before the weekend, and LA by mid-week. i dont know if i can get myself to return.

my house is a mess and all i want to do is clean it, but im working this weekend, adn in addition to problems all over asia, a customer in austria called in a panic. as if the language barrier wasnt enough already...

*sigh*

so thats why my throat was weird all day at work and i was coughing every 20-40 minutes. I JUST GOT SICK!

and its on a 3 day weekend i dont have to work. super awesome.

all my coachella and israel pictures are beyond the reach of my mouses click. we'll have to work on those later.



EDIT: must be sick. read this post this morning and parts made no sense to me at all.
