Don't forget your towel...

D.W.Q.M.: "Have you ever thought what it's like, to be wanderers in the fourth dimension?" -the First Doctor For those of you who love the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the last three books of 'the trilogy of five' are being produced as two new series for BBC Radio 4 . (of course those of you who read this blog and are fans probably already know this. ;) ) Just a heads up-since it's Thursday, Episode 2 of the series should be available to listen to online sometime this afternoon or evening. Enjoy!!! :) I am really enjoying the book Jerm leant me, and am kicking myself in the head for waiting so long to read this series!!! ...where's my towel? LOL. ;)

the tooth fairy strikes again...sort of ;)

D.W.Q.M.: "Eureka" is Greek for "This bath is too hot". -the Fourth Doctor Thank you, Perseph , for picking me up today and stopping at Walgreens so I could pick up my sub...per...uhh..PREsription. ;) You rock! Ahh, yes-tonight I am recovering from the loss of my second wisdom tooth(upper right hand). (ow!) Last Friday, after biting down on an oatmeal cream pie, hearing a crunch and discovering that it wasn't hardened cream that made the crunching noise, I made another trip to the dentist this morning. Unfortunately Monday-Friday they are walk-ins only, but it was worth it, 'cause my dentist is totally cool-he can tell when you are nervous and tries to make small talk to take you mind off of the impending procedure. Last time it was about me being a Green Bay fan in the Dawg Pound, this time it was about me being a scifi geek (thanks to a Doctor Who tshirt and Jerm's copy of 'the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' that he leant me t

ahh...space...

D.W.Q.M.: "And I'm suffering from post-regeneration amnesia, as far as I can remember." -The Seventh Doctor When you live in the dorms and then an apartment for several years, you forget what it was like to live in a house with your own backyard. Thanks to P^2J , I'm starting to remember what it was like. :) Last night during taco night, after we had finished playing Skip-Bo, everyone retired to the livingroom to watch the Bachelor (i think-although I'm not 100% sure)-my sinus headache was still bothering me, so I decided to go outside for a bit of cool air. (I know what you're thinking-going outside when the problem probably originated from stuff in the air isn't the smartest thing to do-but it was getting chilly, and the cold helps me feel better) I went out into their backyard and looked up at the sky-it was pretty clear (well, except for the light pollution, of course) So I laid down and just stared up at the sky. Nothing really to look at,

Autumnal Equinox

D.W.Q.M.: Romana2: "Oh, I do love the spring..." The Fourth Doctor: "It's October." Romana2: "I thought you said we were coming for May week." Fourth Doctor: "I did...May week's in June." Romana2: "I'm confused." Fourth Doctor: "So was the TARDIS." Romana2: "I do love the autumn...the leaves, the colors..." Happy Autumn, everybody!!! :) Time for me to put away my summer decorations and candle holders, and bring out the fall! Soon it will be time to bring out the Halloween decos!!! :) Yay! "Shine on, harvest moon..."

Random thoughts-the 'that's what's going on at work' edition

D.W.Q.M.: Range: "Systems that could rebuild a civilisation for us. Failure-proof technology." The Fifth Doctor: "What happened to it all?" Range: "It failed." Ah, work. Not much going on really, so this may be quite a boring post. ;) Our storage project is moving along...slowly! The other day I turned the corner and started on row 8...of 30. Linking the journals can be very tedious at times. A couple of my coworkers and I just started shooting the breeze of all the problems over there-misshelved books, not enough room to move the trucks around, journals that weigh a ton and fall off the truck if you hit even the slightest bump. We discovered what the mess was in one of the rows-it happened when B. was pushing his truck to put away some old and particularly heavy journals-he hit a bump, and they literally catapolted off the truck-one hit the ground spine up, and the pages just fell right out of the binding. Yikes!! Every time I walk by jour

Monday night football...

D.W.Q.M.: "You know, I am so constantly outwitting the opposition, I tend to forget the delight and satisfaction of the arts... the gentle art of fisticuffs." -the First Doctor Packers: 24 Panthers: 14 YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8:58...8:59....9:00. Packers first game in the regular season. Ahhhhh...football season has now begun. "When I was younger, I wanted to be called 'Gator'." -Brett Favre I LOVE FOOTBALL Browns fans had their day yesterday-today it was the Packers! I LOVE FOOTBALL "He's slippery" -Panther's Fields, in reference to Ahman Green. You would never guess that I was a scifi geek if you ever caught me watching football...unless you caught me in the middle of shouting, 'What the FReLl?!?!' at the refs. ;) I LOVE FOOTBALL 'FAVRE'S BACKUP'-as seen on a tanker stationed in Kuwait. Sweet. It was an awesome game to watch-the Packers managed to keep both Carolina&#

YAY!!!!!

Bridesmaid's dress: xxx dollars Hair: xx dollars Makeup: xx dollars Shoes: xx dollars Spilling wine on your dress while dancing the conga at your best friend's wedding: priceless ;) *heeheee* Congrats to P^2 -they are now married!!!!! The wedding was so much fun, and Perseph looked absolutely gorgeous in her dress! Paul cracked me up-while I was coming down the isle, he started flashing '8 to 5' with his hands (marching band people will get the joke :) ) and then while we were all processing out, he did a Monty Python and went out doing Silly Walks. LOL. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while-I've been busy helping Perseph prepare for her wedding-I even did a few guest blogging posts for her to help keep people updated. :) I spent most of the last two weeks at Perseph's, so I haven't had much time to do any updating of my own, or reading other blogs. I was a bit tired, but IT WAS SO WORTH IT!! :) YAY, Persephone and Paul!!!
