Wandering through E-Space

D.W.Q.M.: "Homo sapiens. What an inventive, invincible species. It's only been a few million years since they crawled up out of the mud and learned to walk. Puny, defenseless bipeds. They've survived flood, famine and plague. They've survived cosmic wars and holocausts. And now, here they are, out among the stars, waiting to begin a new life. Ready to outsit eternity. They're indomitable... indomitable." -the Fourth Doctor First-shouts go out to Jerm in Arizona!!! Glad you made it safely. I hear you are tanning nicely, and can see the edge of the universe from where you are. :) *heeheE* I'll bring you back something from Marcon-you try to bring me back clear skies-you hear?!? j/k. ;) I was on a role there for awhile! Posting almost everyday of the week-WOw-more than one person mentioned to me that I was on a posting rampage. So what happened? Ah, I got lazy again-with the catalog being down most of last week, I grew tired of the same old same o

D.W.Q.M.: Sgt. Benton: "What are we going to do now?" The Second Doctor: "Keep it confused, feed it with useless information. I wonder if I have a television set handy?" *heehee* Yes, I know-I have used this quote several times. But it's the only one that I can think of that actually mentions a television in Doctor Who. I'm sure there's more, but my minds a blank...and I kinda like this one. If you can think of any other good ones, please feel free to pass them along! ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Series: Judging Amy (CBS) Episode: Sex, Lies and Expedia.com (season finale) Original Airdate: 05/18/2004 "Okay, next time I have a life altering ephiphany, I'm sharing it with another family." -Kyle So they managed to touch base with every major story line this season in the season finale-cool. The brought up Gillian and Peter's seperation...could it lead to divorce? I dunno

D.W.Q.M.: "Look, I'm doing the best I can, if you don't like it, you drive!!!" -Ace Disclaimer:please note. ;) If you are a friend of mine (especially one who drives me around) any references to crazy drivers is not refering to you in any way, shape or form. (I know I probably didn't need to say that, but it makes me feel better. ;) ) So, Marcon is coming up, and I began to realize that I should probably do something about my expired driver's permit id. I don't know how picky they'll be down there, but it's better to show a current id than an expired one. So once again I am faced with the dilemma of getting up early Saturday to head to the DMV, to stand in line forever so they can give me another permit packet, so I can take the written test yet again . *sigh* As always, I forgot how much it would cost to do the whole thing over again, so I went to the BMV website and was appalled to find that they had raised the price to $21!! (ok

D.W.Q.M.: President Borusa: "We must know what is happening there." the Master: "Did it occur to you to go and look?" Ah, they had to take down the cataloging system again-since they are finishing their upgrade of the server-found out today it'll be down again on Thursday. What fun. I am taking bets as to whether or not it will be back up again tomorrow morning. In the meantime, as I wait for my next 'you don't need the catalog to do this!' project, I decided to add another round of random quotes and links. ;) Now, I know Chem 107/108 was difficult in college, but I never wrote down answers like these seen here . LOL! Those stupid aliens with their illegal moon rock trades... ;) From the same site (I think you're getting me addicted, Sharon!) Remember the wedding dress guy? click here for an update. Turns out the guy did a little fibbing about his story-oh, well-it was fun reading it! And he wants to be a comedy writer.

D.W.Q.M.: "He talks to himself sometimes because he's the only one who understands what he's saying." -Sarah Jane Smith So the weather's finally calmed down a bit (20% my a**) The power blinked off and then back on again three times, and we had several power surges for a while there. I finally turned my tv back on around 8, then the computer around 11. The Indians game was delay ...89 minutes? Then again for about a half hour during the 5th inning. I hope they win (ok, I'm not being quite honest here-they are playing the White Sox-the White Sox are only 2 games behind the Twins. The Twins won tonight, and the White Sox are currently loosing. You do the baseball math. ;) ) Anyhoo, back to the weather-this was the biggest storm we've had this season, and boy was it a whopper-my street was flooded after the first wave of the storm. It's so much fun to watch big, oversized cars try to speed through that and then discover they aren't so toug

D.W.Q.M.: Sgt. Benton: "What are we going to do now?" The Second Doctor: "Keep it confused, feed it with useless information. I wonder if I have a television set handy?" The problem with recording things on Friday and Saturday is that I never seem to have time to catch up! I'm at least 3 episodes behind on JAG, and 2 on Andromeda (I watched one on SciFi tonight-even though it was out of order. dang!) So, instead of trying to catch up on things I've missed , what am I doing up this late at night? Writing in my blog and watching a rerun of Stargate SG-1. ;) *heehee*! -------------------------------------------------------------- Series: CSI (CBS) Episode: #4.22 Original Airdate: 05/13/2004 Ahh, Sam Braun again. I hate murderers with money and power who can get away with it. Even his own daughter knows he's guilty! Too bad this time he was framed and innocent. (I know that sounds cruel, but he seems so cocky-I hope he gets his just de

D.W.Q.M.: the Fourth Doctor: "I just put 1.795379 and 2.20468 together." Romana: "What does that mean?" the Doctor: "Four!" check this out, it's pretty neat Thanks, Jerm! ...the first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might... ...see that fricken' comet tonight!!! Arrggg...one of the things I hate about Cleveland-the light pollution!!! Makes backyard astronomy virtually impossible. That and the weather has been sucking all week. Why do the clouds wait until 9:30pm to travel across Cleveland's skies?!?!?!!! Monday it was cloudy just after dusk, Tuesday we were hit with storms, and tonight, I had just found Mars in my little telescope (the one that can't be mounted-just in case you are curious. Things can be found with it!! ;) ) when the clouds started to become thicker and all the faint stars disappeared. Boooo... :( Since there is too much light surrounding my apartment (not that that is a bad thing-safet

D.W.Q.M.: Sgt. Benton: "What are we going to do now?" The Second Doctor: "Keep it confused, feed it with useless information. I wonder if I have a television set handy?" First-special note to Jerm-thanks for noticing the typos in my previous entry! I changed Leona to Leonar, now maybe it will make more sense! Maybe I should make use of the 'abc' button in the blogger toolbar... ;) Ok, on with the tv stuff: ------------------------------------------------------------- Series: Navy: NCIS (CBS) Episode: Split Decision Original Airdate: 05/11/2004 Tony: "I thought you couldn't put Humpty back together again." Cait: "That's because all the king had were horses and men." Ah, I love the banter between those two. I'm also glad I watched the episode ("Dead Man Talking, 04/27/2004) that was "worth the price of admission" (as quoted by "the Doctor")-there was a little side in this one that

D.W.Q.M.: "Well, nothing's perfect. Have to take the rough with the smooth." -the Fourth Doctor Shatner: "What's..new..about it?" ..."Who could possible replace me?" Nimoy: *knock, knock* "Hey, guys! Heeey, Bill." Shatner: "Hey, Leonar..." *heehee* Sorry, I couldn't help it-I just had to quote my favorite Priceline commerical! Once again, Blogger has changed it's look-and it's features!! Don't really know how I feel about this change, but we'll see if I get used to it. ;) Some new features: Besides Blogger having "more curves", it now offers comments! Unfortunately, they are like LiveJournal's comments-you can either post with your blogger name, or as anonymous-plus there is no place to leave your email or website (not that I require you do that, but if you want to leave those with your comments, I'd like to have that option open!) So I guess for now I'll stick wit

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say "thank you" for all your thoughts and prayers, both online, on the phone, and in person. It really means alot to me! Thank you! HUGS

My favorite uncle passed away yesterday. I don't think the reality of it has really sunk in yet, as I am in Ohio, several hundred miles from Minnesota. I found out last night after I got home from a friend's baby shower (which I promise to write about later, maybe in a couple of days). My Aunt Pat had called-they were trying to get ahold of my mother,who was still with my sister, and no one seemed to have the right phone number for my sister. Someone did manage to find the right number, as the next message I had was from my sister, telling me to call home right away. I don't feel like going into anymore details here, but I'm sure you can understand that. Instead, I would like to share with you why Uncle Johnny was my favorite uncle, and why he was so important to all us. I was once asked who my heroes were-I replied, my Mother and my Uncle John. :) When my grandfather was alive, he used to build things for his grandchildren-for example, my cousin Chris

D.W.Q.M.: the Second Doctor: "Well you've been fiddling with it, haven't you?" the Third Doctor: "It was perfectly all right until you touched it!" Twenty-three years ago yesterday, I was still an only child. Twenty-three years ago today, I became a big sister! I remember the first time I saw her-she had a big round head with a ton of dark hair, and her face was as red as a tomato. (Hey, I was only 4-how else would you describe a new baby?) ;) My mom remembers a complete stranger following us into her room and saying, "I was in the elevator and your daughter here told me that I had to come in and see your beautiful baby!" Happy Birthday, Little Sister!!! Love you lots, even when we fight. ;) *HUGS* I decided to call her during my lunch break, and this is how the phone conversation began: Voice at the other end: "Hello?" Romana: "...uh...Alison?" Voice (with an amused chuckle) : "No...try again!" R

D.W.Q.M.: "The universe should be big enough for the both of us ... just." -the Second Doctor ...and LINEAR! I love looking at comets-they are so cool. These two comets were named after the automated sky-survey programs that they were discovered by (Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking, and Lincoln Laboratory Near Earth Asteroid Research). Hopefully it will be clear enough tonight to try and spot NEAT. If you're living in the Northern Hemisphere and have good whether-grab a pair of binoculars and run outside at dusk! From my Skywatcher's bulletin from Sky and Telescope : "Northern Hemisphere stargazers should start checking for Comet NEAT emerging low in the southwest at dusk. On the 5th, the comet appears 9 degrees -- less than a fist-width held at arm's length -- to the left of the bright star Sirius in the constellation Canis Major, the Larger Dog. Use binoculars." I think NEAT will also be visible tomorrow night around the same time. A

D.W.Q.M.: "You could augment an earwig to the point where it understood nuclear physics, but it would still be a very stupid thing to do!" -the Second Doctor Okay, so by now, I'm sure most of you have heard about 'the wedding dress guy' on eBay . If not, here's a link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4146756343 Pretty popular-and to think, all he wanted to do was to get rid of his ex's expensive wedding dress!!! Very amusing, I think. This guy's even been on the Today Show! Well, I just saw this on eBay: (via ornamentalillness ) Romantic Weekend (females only) Geez, this guy is a real creep! Just read the description! Some people have a lot of nerve and will do anything for a quick buck (or in this case, a quick quid). No wonder he only is up to $2.48 ($1.40 GBP) I feel sorry for the lady who gets stuck with this guy just because her boyfriend "hired" him for her on eBay. There has gotta be somet

D.W.Q.M.: "Eureka!" -the Third Doctor So guess what happened not five minutes after I posted about Sarah's new baby? I found out that another friend of mine is going to have a baby! WOW! Congratulations to parents-to-be Jessica and Michael!!!! :) Man, there has gotta be something in the water! ;)
