Wandering through E-Space

D.W.Q.M.: "How about a trip in the TARDIS? I'm just off." -the Fourth Doctor "You know what the Go'auld really want? Minnesota." -Col. Jack O'Neill Just wanted wish all of you a happy Fourth of July before I go on vacation. This will probably be the last time I'll get the chance to post until I get back-I'm not disappearing off the face of the planet (although some may argue that that's where I'm going! ;) ) Just probably won't be around an internet connection for a while. So, everyone have a fun and safe holiday!! I don't want to hear about anybody who blew their hands off with firecrackers when I get home, ya hear?! ;) I'm off to Minnesota! Yay!

D.W.Q.M.: "You know, Doctor, I could play all day in my green cathedral." -Harrison Chase (from The Seeds of Doom ) I started out with 20 lbs of potting soil. I only had to repot nine plants, plus a few break-offs. I only got to four of them...then I ran out of potting soil. Ok, I guess it didn't help that my aloe plant is now three aloe plants, but I was hoping to at least be able to repot my Poinsetta. *sigh At least my aloe, spider, jade, and avacado (yes, I did say avacado) plants are happliy living in bigger homes now. :) As I was in the process of repotting my plants, I took a quick survey of the available window space for my them. I am running out of space fast. Sooo..... What should Romana do? Survey says... A)Find a bigger place with bigger windows or a nice, indoor porch that's all windows nice, but probably bit expensive for my budget right now B)Bring several plants to work easier said than done! ;) C)Throw out some of them

D.W.Q.M.: : "My dear girl, I know a computer when I talk to one." -the Sixth Doctor I'm sure most of you have heard about Google beta testing their new email (1GB of free space!). Since it's still in Beta mode, it's currently invite-only. I had the opportunity to get an account by using Blogger on a regular basis. I started out with 2 invites to give to friends, and then it bumped up to 7. Not sure what I'm going to do with 7 invites. I came across a link to Gmail4Troops.com -they are asking if you are a Gmail user if would you like to donate any extra invites you may have to our Troops. It will help them keep in touch with their families and friends back home without ever having to worry about deleting any email. :) If you are interested, click on the link and check it out! :) :) Speaking of email- CWRUs email has been down for 2 days now. I feel as if I have lost a friend...a friend who provides nothing but junk mail and an occasionaly im

D.W.Q.M.: Brock: "His scarf killed Stimson!" the Fourth Doctor: "Arrest the scarf then." I decided I should try to write a little more about Marcon before I go on vacation next week-otherwise I'll get too far behind in my postings! *see previous entry. ;) ) Saturday, May 29th, 2004 8:50 am The shrill sound of the alarm makes us all jump out of our beds. I had forgotten that we set the alarm for that time when we thought we'd have to register in the morning. Arthur was up and out within 10 minutes-reading to start his day of geekiness. He decided to wait until later to put on his costume (he was also planning on taking part in the masquarade-go Arthur!!) I decided to put on my costume right away. After Alicia and I had breakfast, we decided to wander around a bit. We left a message at the front desk for Karen, Chris and the girls, and then I headed up to the Farscape table and met fellow OhioScaper Julie-we had fun chatting and i picked up

D.W.Q.M.: "No, impossible. I'm booked for the next three centuries." -the Fourth Doctor It's happened to all of us at least one time or another-we get so busy, and have so much to do, that we just want to stop everything and do nothing for a while. For me, it also applies for blog posts!! I have in mind something I want to post, but then either I don't have time to post it, or I get to tired (lazy) to post or I come up with some other (and this one's for you Perseph! ) 'circular reasoning' excuse for not posting. ;) I still have to finish posting about Marcon, and there was an article in my latest issue of Non-Sport Update that I wanted to comment on. There's so much that I want to write about, and I just don't get around to it!! :) Ah, well- que sera, sera! ;) (yes, I was watching AFI's 100 years, 100 songs tonight-and I loved it! ) House sitting is going well-Blue and I are getting along, and I'm finally getting used to

D.W.Q.M.: "He's the one you should be talking to, or rather listening to, if you have the stamina." -Romana 1 More lunchtime blogging from the cluttered desk of Romanadvoratrelundar. Ahhh, sorry it's been so long since I last posted-I've either been too busy or too lazy to post. ;) Tomorrow I start housesitting for a friend of mine -I get to puppy-sit too! I'll be watching over the family dog, Blue. Unfortunately the side effect of this is that I have to get up earlier than I'm used to-so I can let the dog out and get to work on time-I have to remember to account for the fact that I will no longer be only a 5 minute bus ride from work for a few days. ;) Sunburn, fireworks, small practices, and instruments that refuse to get in tune with each other-Yup! It's summertime and time for a brand new season of Italian Band! Sunday we performed in the procession for the Feast of St. Anthony-I think we sounded pretty good for only having 10 ins

D.W.Q.M.: Moberly: "You must be the Doctor. We were expecting someone much older." The 4th Doctor: "I'm only 749. Used to be even younger." Happy blog day to me, happy blog day to me-Yup! Today is my anniversary date-I've been blogging for a year now! Thank you, Persephone , for encouraging me to start one!!! :) To the Taco Night gang-I am sooo sorry (especially to Andy and Persephone-I hope you are both feeling better today) that it was so hot in my apartment last night!!! With the crazy weather we have been having (hot, then cold, then hot again) I haven't had the energy to put my A/C in the window yet. Also, it's been so long since we've had a full house, that I've forgotten exactly what it's like when more than 2 people come to visit during the summer! It doesn't help that I've had to keep most of my windows closed because my screens are so bad. This weekend I will work on getting the rest of my screens out so the

D.W.Q.M.: "Our lives are important-at least to us-and we see, so we learn...Our destiny is in the stars, so let's go and search for it..." -the First Doctor The weatherman on Channel 5 says that there will be lots of stars in the sky tonight. So I'm wondering, where the heck does he live?!?!?!!!!! Once again, I am outside, binoculars in hand, trying to find NEAT!!! I must look like a total weirdo to my neighbors. One of them nearly ran into me a few weeks back when I was trying to find the comet using the smaller telescope my Dad made-the one that has no mount, so you have to hold it in your arms. (Don't ask, I really don't know...) So tonight I was standing out in the middle of the courtyard with my binoculars, until someone came home and set off all the motion sensored lights in front of the doors. gaahh... I am sooo naive-and I should know better-I thought, fairly clear skies, the moon doesn't rise until after 11:15 (after all, it'

D.W.Q.M.: "Pity about the scarf. Madame Nostradamus made it for me. Witty little knitter...never get another one like it." -the Fourth Doctor Not quite a week between entries-not too bad, but I need to try to keep up with my posts! ;) *Warning:* This post is all about me, me, me! at Marcon. ;) I promise my next Marcon post will be about Saturday events. Before continuing, I'd like to thank the following people: To my Mommy: Thank you for teaching me how to knitt-without you, I'm not sure the scarf would have been a reality so soon!!! I'm also glad you got the chance to work on a little bit of it yourself. :) To Suzanne and Sharlane: Thank you for lending me the (respectively) hat and vest for my costume. To Persephone : Thank you for the material for the collar for Krismutt's K-9 costume! Not only did it add to the costume, but it helped hide the strings holding it together! :) Also, encouraging words, even though you probably had

D.W.Q.M.: "Sleep is for tortoises!" -the Fourth Doctor ...sleep? At Marcon?!?! You've got to be kidding me!! ;) Friday, May 29th Okay, before I start talking about Marcon , I have to say this- To Persephone, Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!! for coming to our rescue!!!!! We didn't get to Columbus until after 10 (don't feel like going into details here-lets just say everything that could go wrong...did! ;) ) Anyhoo, when the car situation became hopeless, we decided to ride the greyhound down-I called Perseph to ask for a ride to the station, and she asked what happened-after I explained it to her, she said she'd have to ask Paul, but if it was alright with him, she said she would drive us down to Columbus. She called back a few minutes later and said, "The man said yes! Let's go!" (and she was driving to Iowa the next morning to
