Ah, work! How I really didn’t miss you and would have liked to miss you much, much more.
At least the unread email pile was not too bad.
Eeek! I am not looking forward to that. Every time I look at the # of emails on my phone I just put it back down . . . I’m delaying the pain until Monday!
You win! 🙂
We’re off to buy some compost and other necessary gardening supplies for our post-MMMmmmeetup vacation activities. This afternoon, we’re headed to the Human Society as well to adopt a cat (finger’s crossed).
🙂
Human Society???? What the hell is Longmont running these days?????
😉
Soylent Green is people!
You bastards you finally did it!!!!
Wait no…
Nice photo of y’all on facebook. I think I know who everyone’s alter ego is 🙂
Was the hat a giveaway do you think?
Morning Pan
Nothing says I Love You like letting your wife sleep in until 8:30. I Loves my hubby.
The Kings/Yotes series may be borderline epic depending on how much the decide to kill each other
^winning!
The Avengers made over $207 million domestically over the weekend, bringing its grand total to $654.8 million.
Can I have half a percent of that, please? 🙂
there, I grabbed Ed’s pics from Flikr to put on my new Deadpan picture viewer (thanks again guys)
I’ll have to work on that later today.
I have to run out and do a few errands. Then I might see if my hockey movie(s) is on Netflix. If it is I’ll do a play by play on it as my penance for losing the hockey pool.
I love having the day off. I wonder what I can do to make this a regular occurance.
Oh, just before I take off. As many of you know the hotel and I were having a little tiff throughout the weekend. There is an after story (of course). Because check out was earlier than ditto, Van and I were leaving, we left our bags at the hotel while we did the touristy stuff. I had a purple suitcase, T-Cat had a purple back pack. We went to pick up our bags the lady was absolutely adamant that T-Cat’s purple back pack was the only bag of that colour she had. She kept telling us that I was the one who gave her the back pack to hold, not T-Cat and she didn’t have any other suitcases for us. After much discussion she finally went into the back room and, lo and behold, found my bag there. I must have had a sign on my head that said “harass this person!!!” straight from the start. I don’t think I’ll be staying at that hotel again.
What do you mean my iphone has an update? How can I order Mother’s Day flowers if my phone is hijacked?
Turns out The Cutting Edge is on Netflix. However, I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll have time to watch it today. I’m suppose to have lunch with Boo, then they are coming to move my gas meter from inside to outside in a couple of hours. Time is not on my side today.
I liked that movie.
It’s a cute movie. I’ve seen it a couple of times.
Someone forced a copy … er I mean an original DVD *cough* of The Hulk into my hands last night… apparently I’m being forcefed DVDs now in order of Avengers pre-movies… etc.
I have to wonder if it isn’t just a simple “oh, whew she finally watched that movie” type feeling people get after I say, “OK, I watched that.”
Well Pan I finally got home.
A cuppa and then a snooze on the sofa is on the agenda.
Glad you made it home, Van
Like! You were a great houseguest, Van!
Wait. Van was there? How did I miss him?
No wet towels on the floor?
Ummm, ummm, I hope not.
Again thanks for the welcome, it was great meeting you all.
Also it’s all but certain that Yotes finally have an owner. Looks like they will be staying in Glendale. wOOt!
Also, looks like Wil Wheaton will be at Phoenix Comicon this year after all. Knowing that his is a big Kings fan I wonder if I should have him sign my Coyotes year book?
Also, it looks like I need to put the work “also” in lock down.
Yay!
I made bonus at work this quarter.
It’s more than the garage door repair cost.
This made me giggle… or it could just be the delirium result of over-tiredness….
That’s great news! 🙂
You rock!
Double yea!
The garage door repair guy was Spellwight’s favorite MMMmmmeetup attendee.
He was certainly handy with his tool of choice.
No comment.
I would like to add my thanks to all our host and hostess this past weekend your hospitality was full of WIN. Also a thanks to TEB for letting us sample foreign candy (do with that what you will Deadpan). Trying new stuff is always fun and this time it was tasty as well.
In conclusion, All your Mmmmmmeetup is belong to us!
We did adopt a kitty and the HumanE Society today! She’s a very cute black 7-month-old named Serafina Pekkula. Our older cat, Gertrude, hates her deeply.
Such a cutie! She reminds me of my kitteh, Dinky… sending kitty hugs to all.
Glad to hear that all my fellow travelers are safely home again. It was a truly remarkable gathering and I look forward to the next one.
So, make sure to block out all of 2013 until Jack nails down the next date 🙂
hardest. shift. yet.
So glad everyone made it home safely from DeadpanLand. 🙂
Trying to keep in mind that I didn’t fall through a roof into a vat of acid today.
In all fairness, I don’t think the $2.95 comes with as much stuff as the $100 version. 😉
I’m tempted to purchase, but you’re right, one Benjamin is a lot for a single board game.
Back to the unreality of reality.
I feel at odds with the human race.
There is a health ad at the docs, claiming that winter makes you lazy and physical excercise is easier in summer.
I’m far lazier in summer..
Back to work *sigh*
Good morning, Pan!
My news spot aired – for those who want to see me in all my 5 seconds of sheer amazingness *cough*NOT*cough* Here’s the linkage: http://x.co/k3rs in case you didn’t already see the 5 bazillion Facebook posts about it that is. :tongue:
I shouldn’t watch myself. I’m so awkward… and I think the camera guy had a think for my glittery eyeshadow.
It turns out, the person who was doing some of my recs while I was away forgot about one of them. I have to do four days of stupid recs as well as catching up on my other work *more sighs*
well. That’s just poop.
Yup. Don’t expect to hear much from me today as I try to catch up.
That sucks.
I want pancakes.
Shows up with a magical stack of pancakes, maple syrup, butter and bacon.
nomnomnom
If you were to eat feathers, would that be “nom de’plumage”?
I’d probably just refer to it as “that kinky thing I once tried that didn’t quite work out the way I had anticipated”
Then again, considering the availability, probably not.
Plus the ebook is the same price as the trade paperback, grrrrrrrrr!
Correction: a few dollars cheaper
Ta Tunnelbear
When I saw “russian-science-fiction” I thought for sure that it would be Solaris. I’m really glad it wasn’t. The movie bored me to tears and I doubt the book would do much better.
Stanislav Lem (who wrote the book Solaris was based on) was Polish.
You are correct. My apologies to Russian literature.
Well by various accounts, the movies didn’t do the book justice, so might be worth checking out if you ever encounter a used copy.
Yes, oh Madman Across the Water. Again, you are correct. I was really griping about a Russian film (based on a Polish book) when, in fact, the topic at hand was a Russian book. It would be like me trying to say that Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was a crappy book because I didn’t like the movie Bladerunner (in fact I loved both). I just couldn’t resist taking a pot shot at Solaris. I really, really, really found that movie
to
move
INCREDIBLY
Slowly?
slowly.
Not to mention the DRM.
I think you mean “???”
All your translation is belongs to us.
(Apparently “???” is FTB’s transation of the Cyrillic letters for DRM)
You know, it’s been two days since I got back and I’m still in a good mood. Work hasn’t beaten it out of me yet. I wonder how long this will last? 🙂
*knocks on wood*
I heard an interesting stat about this. Seems most people did not realize that what they were voting on ALSO constitutionally banned “civil unions”. When polled after the fact, a majority of those who voted FOR the amendment said they would NOT HAVE DONE SO if they had realized they were constitutionally banning civil unions.
This indicates that the citizenry of N.C. aren’t quite as narrow minded as they appear OR that they are too stupid to read the details of things as important as constitutional amendments and can be easily duped by extremists … or maybe all of the above.
Heya, DP! Hope you all are doing fine today! We’ve roto-tilled our gardens today for planting tomorrow.
Today, or nearabout (we don’t keep track of the specific date), is Sly B and my 13th anniversary of not-married. We have reservations at Sugarbeet, our favorite local fancy pants place: http://www.sugarbeetrestaurant.com/
Screw you, North Carolina. ‘s about time, Mr. President.
Have a great afternoon/evening depending on where in the world you are!
HAPPY DAY OF 13 YEARS OF HAPPINESS YOUS TWOS!
What a mouthful. But I like the sentiment
Gratz!
Woot!
Good going, you two!
Congratz! Live it Up!
And you are an awesome couple, as I’ve now seen in person. No vote anywhere can diminish that.
I need to find a job that will pay me to sleep. Anyone have a lead on a job like this?
A fallout from my Phoenix trip.
I now realise my Belkin router doesn’t support AirPlay ( the router at Jack’s did).
Gnashing of teeth to follow.
The router at Jacks place is an Airport Extreme, so I truly hope it supports Airplay.
…and thats a bugger on your end. Im sorry, Van.
I was bottling some Heffeweisen this morning with my republican, retired Army, neighbor and he said, “It is rare that you would EVER hear me say this but I am proud of Mr. Obama. Proud that he took a firm stand on a very politically charged issue.”
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how the gay marriage thing plays out with the rest of society.
Going to a newish Thai restaurant tonight. What’s your favorite Thai dish?
The MacDs next door.
I’m with Van, I don’t like Thai, though I’m just as likely to avoid McDonald’s too… Sorry, can’t help Cyn.
I love Thai. I always rate places by how well they do Phad Thai, Basil Fried Rice, and Panang Curry.
Yum, Thai food
Is a coat and Thai required?
I dont know about Thai, but I want to start a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho King…
Luvs me some Thai!
Favorite is Pad Thai but only from one particular place.
From the restaurant closets to me I get the Fried Rice or the Yellow Curry chicken. Occasionally I will get the lettuce wrap. NOMNOMNOM
Are you looking for recommendations or just curious? I am good with most Thai curry dishes (especially the coconut milk ones), but not so fond of pad Thai. That seems to be more popular with folks who like peanut butter.
Wonderful suggestions. Thank you all.
Tonight I tried Hot Basil in Overland Park. I ordered an app, entree and dessert (saving half of each for tomorrow’s lunch). The app was Summer Rolls, the entree was medium spiced Yellow curry and the dessert is the most awesome Chocolate Rangoon. I am stuffed and happy.
ditto, I’ve made the recommendation that our mutual friends might want to go with you and Tcat there.
They had OMG fast service. From the time I ordered to the time I got my app was less than three minutes.
I was wondering if that was the place. They also do a yummy crab fried rice.
That robot sure doesn’t have a lot of junk in the trunk. Diodes maybe, but no junk.
I saw no sunshine. 😉
Well, I think I’m finally caught up on my work. Tomorrow, with luck, I’ll do my hockey pool play by play
Here are the standing for the hockey pool so far
Van must watch something with LA in it
Energizer Bunny – The Cutting Edge or Phoenix Lights
Rhettro – Dukes of Hazzard or Predators
Used Hair – Maid in Manhatten or Warriors
ditto – Pecker or The X Files
Jack – Cocoon or Miami Vice or Willard
Cynful – Rocky Balboa or The Village
UH watched Maid in Manhattan already
Thanks, Bunny! I would like to point out, however, that New Jersey beat Florida, so Amy is obligated to watch either Legend or Jersey Girl.
Van is also is possession of Born in East L.A. on DVD. There were witnesses when he received it.
Hey Van, (or anyone else this applies to) have you seen the movie, Headhunters? A Norwegian thriller of an art thief?
Im curious about it.
Yup, I rather enjoyed it.
Although the Art theft forms only a minor part of the movie.
I recently listened to a podcast that covered one of the Pertwee Dr Who stories.
This one was from the early 70’s, one method of killing by the Autons was a plastic flower that when activated squirted liquid plastic over a victims face, which hardened and suffocated them.
Kids tv eh?
Who knew?
Well, I guess Who did.
Wah, Who dore?
Bought my tickets to Avengers. We’re going to see it on the IMAX :happy:
My mum’s day flowers should be delivered today. I know flowers are cliche but they are easy to deliver to another province and they are appreciated by the parents.
My mom’s birthday is next. I’ll send her something from Amazon then.
Both the bosses are out, and I get a call from a contractor needing a special inspection.
“We need the inspector right away, concrete is coming.”
Maybe you could have given us a little advanced notice. Going to be one of those days.
Nobody should be surprised but I’m not going to get my PBP done today. And I know it won’t be done on Monday. Maybe Tuesday? I may have to divide it up and do half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon.
This new work load is really kicking my butt. :pouty:
So, what stereotypes is this article going to invoke?
Some people need to lighten up. They did the same thing with Portal 2.
I thought the movie was insensitive to “plus size” people with green skin.
If you click their survey, 96.5% of the people thought people need to lighten up a bit.
CP: 1941 – March — John Williams
Commencing Nap #2.
In case I’m absent, I want to wish all the mothers a happy mom’s day on Sunday.
Mushy brain says nini
Actually, it’s the knights who say NI!
Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein!
Ess!
Bee?
Yo!
Possibly add an extra syllable for a prolonged game of charades.
I’m awake. Hubby isn’t. Lazy bum
Considering who he teaches, A well deserved one I suspect.
I think it also doesn’t help that I went to bed at ten and he stayed up until about 1am.
He is awake now
Morning, Pan.
I just had a dream where I was on a trip somewhere, and Ryah, John (Hubby), and Debbie (Spellwight) were all there. I got to hang out with them. <3
The odd(er) part was that John didn’t look anything like the pictures I’ve seen of him. He looked a lot like Justa J0e, and yet, I know it was John as soon as I saw him, probably because he was sitting next to Ryah at the bar. We were sitting in this order, and I was looking to my right when I saw everyone:
So a friend in Wales, claims she didn’t see the second scene in Avengers as the projector was switched off at the end of the credits.
Hmmmm.
Shwarma
How was it in IMAX?
Big… 3d
It was a fun movie. There were no 2d versions offered in any of the showing near us so we decided to go big. Luckily, the 3d was fairly subtle
Too bad we’re not all in AZ again this weekend!
Indeed!
Hubby askEd what shwarma was. I told him he woulnt like it. His reply, “that’s what I thought”. Then dropped the subject.
He’s not very adventurous when it come to food.
I gave my kitty her vitamin B shot. Now she’s mad at me.
Later this evening we’re going to to watch the new Underworld movie, but for now I have to convert everybody to my religion of dragon worship. Either they convert or die.
Later Deadpan
Steel yourself for disappointment.
We figured it wouldn’t be a great work of art. But, you know *shrug*. Black leather clad babes makes hubby happy :happy:
“Black leather clad babes makes …”
– … the world go round.
– … perfect sense.
– … anything they damn well want to.
– … A nothing day, suddenly make it all seem worth while.
Off to McDonald’s. I don’t foresee a healthy dinner in our immediate future 😉
If it makes you feel better … I’m a McDonalds Stockholder. So, like you were eating there to help me out.
Thank you.
Wondering if the tumbleweeds will be impressed with a sea shanty hummed.
Happy Mothers Day to you moms out in DP land! You are fabulous and have the hardest job. *hugs*
It’s Mother’s Day and how am I going to celebrate it? Going to a stupid WWC meeting. Who’s brilliant idea was it to call a meeting at noon on mother’s day anyway?
*grumble grumble*
Happy Mother’s Day.
Deadpan is the mother’ing way.
By grabbing the images of mmmmeetup 2012 from Flikr, I now have 23 pics for my Deadpan picture viewer :cheerful:
I should be adding my pics to flickr later today.
Your crap joke for the day:
Apple have scrapped their new plans for a a childrens ipod. apparently itouch 4 kids would only appeal to Rangers fans and catholic priests.
I’ll just stay this side of the pond to be safe from Lo’s wrath.
I extend my personal touch to all the moms out there as well!
On the ground in Omaha. I like the city so far. First stop: Costco for groceries.
I really like Omaha. Spend some time in the Old Market.
My dinner plans for Wednesday night involve going there. 🙂 I’m very glad to hear your endorsement. I’m here to visit friends of the family and attempt to find employment opportunities.
Catch 22 is playing on the TV.
There are worse films to fall a sleep whilst watching.
Shame about Awake, been really enjoying that show.
We quite enjoyed The Finder. As well as some other shows on that list.
Bleh
What you said. I still have all of it on my DVR, waiting to be watched. :blush:
All of “Awake,” I mean.
Well, I was rushing to try and finish ME3 today, but still haven’t finished yet. I’m on Earth attacking the defense cannons.
The multiplayer is fun; better than a lot of other games.
Interesting article on how Finland is planning to dispose of it’s nuclear waste and the differences in approach from the US (and to a lesser extent the UK):
This upcoming weekend is a long weekend here in Canadaland (Victoria Day). We get the Monday off. Hubby however, also has the Friday off so he has a four day weekend. I think I’m jealous.
CL: Hollow Heart by Kalmah.
Or maybe it is Kalmah by Hollow Heart.
Either way, I don’t care for it. It’s like someone forgot too tell them that a band is supposed to play well together, not just play well. (Ignoring entirely my disdain for devil screaming.)
According to my new work schedule, it’s lunch time – even though it’s only 10am here. I’m going for a walk.
later
I wish someone would schedule my lunch!
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon how you look at it), I’ve been changed to true Ontario time. Ten here is noon there so *shrug* that’s when my lunch is.
Crap joke for the day:
Harry’s missus met him in the pub after work.
She downed a whole pint of Guiness in one go. “Mmm that was just like your cock!” She smiled.
“What?” He chuckled, “Really tasty?”
“No,” she laughed, “It didn’t touch the fucking sides.
Well peeps, in about five minutes I’ll be doing a play by play. It will be for the movie The Cutting Edge which is my Hockey Pool movie commitment.
Be warned, while I’ll try to do the whole movie today, depending upon work, it may actually be a PBP in two parts.
Loading Netflix
Big lion roaring
Wait what? No one told me there were sequals.
It turns out, I’m watching The Cutting Edge 3. Well, sorry Pixie, that will have to do as I don’t seem to have any others available
Anyway, people are “chasing the dream”
Red wine and cheerios. Yum
He has an adittude
She has a saggy ass
Their coach is a bit of an ass too
This is business
Do you trust me?
She shouldn’t have trust him
Her mascara is running
Wow, the fans seem really happy
I’m sure moping will help
“he’s not dangerous, he’s brilliant”
Uh huh
I just want you to know I’m really taking one for the team. This movie is too chick Flicky for my tasts
The figure skater can play hockey. Colour me shocked :shocked:
And his biggest competition is… A girl.
:shocked:
Ok, now they’re just grandstanding
Love the hair wave
That bike’s going nowhere
A misenthropic man eater
That’s a pretty big word from such a little brain
Meanwhile, at the restaurant
Don’t eat menudo? Isn’t that a boy band?
She has an adittude :shocked:
He has a nice sports car, I’ll give him that
She’s a bitch
Her suitcase sparkles
He broke his phone
It’s a good thing they have the same size feet
She can skate :shocked:
Ahhh, skating together. *sticks finger down my throat*
The ex is jealous
The pep talk from mom
How long is this damn movie?
90 minutes!?! Pixie, what are you doing to me?
Mom still has her skates from when she was ten. I don’t have any of my girl’s stuff from that age
She’s ticklish. Join the club
Jogging makes certain parts bounces
She’s taking kinesthelogist in college. Aww
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Bike tricks
Looking for a coach
She memorize all the old Olympic routines?
She sabotaged his car
Sorry, I had to take a break. Work called
Where was I? Oh yes, rubbing my cat’s butt
She’s impressed with his… House
He has five bathrooms? What does he do alone in them all?
He got his money the old fashioned way… He inherited it
Let’s talk about the ex. That’s always fun
Splash
Wait, he has a multi-million dollar home and the pool isn’t heated? Of course
Uncomfortable moment
Trust me. Didn’t I hear that line before?
Back to the ice
While I admit, I do watch figure skating occasionally, a chick flick about figure skating is not the eop of my list
Considering the number of times they fall down, it’s a wonder they’re not covered in bruses
She set up a bed in the kitchen? What is he, a puppy?
Dancing by herself
Oh look, another montage
Ok, I have to admit, he’s got a nice upper body
They’re making goo goo eyes at eachother
This coach is bitchy too. Must be a coach thing
It’s a tipsy turfy world when the skater gives the coach a pep talk
Mosey brother
Pouring their hearts out
It’s Nationals time. Will they make the cut?
Trash talking
My cat left me. Even she can’t handle it’s movie
She looks a little nervous
Is it over?
Unfortunately, no
The music starts. The skates take to the ice
She’s not skating. She’s hovering
Ow!
What a trooper
They came in fourth
The ex girlfriend is doing with the ex coach
They’re going to Paris!
Aww,, the brother approves now
The ex is a conniving bitch
You didn’t love me
Gotta love the paparazzi
They are going to try a really dangerous skate move
Now I know where the got the idea for the movie Blades of Glory.
They’re practicing a dangerous move that could lose a head
This isn’t working too well
So when are they going to kiss? There’s only 20 minutes left and they haven’t even locked lips yet
She basically ask him to sleep with her
Paris
“they are one impressive pair”
The moisten idea that drives her off. We knew it had to happen
And again
Trying to fix the mistake
Two blondes, one guy
Ha! The coach is a horn dog
Yeah Zack, tell Alix
She’s leaving. Oh no! What will he do?
Gag, chock, couch
Couch? Really autocorrect?
They have two minutes to get to the ice
I love you Alex 😥
:cwy:
The tension builds
I will admit, the skating parts are beautiful
Of course they nailed it. What would the movie be if they didn’t?
Ok, what did I think of this movie?
As far as these kind of movies go, it was fine. It hit all the tropes and did it’s best to tug at the heart strings. Really the biggest problem with this movie was me. I generally don’t do chick flicks, and this was definitely that
There, my hockey debt has been paid. (please don’t make me look for and watch the first one *gets on knees and begs*)
Ah, I bet somebody is still airborne….
Coming down fast
but they’re miles above you.
You may be a lover, but you ain’t no dancer.
Proof that I don’t comment enough.
My work computer is slow. It is still on vacation.
Or it’s channeling how funky I feel today.
Back in Blighty, couple of hours to kill before the flight home.
On the flight I was bored, so stretch my legs and looked out of the window near the toilets.
An inebriated young woman (the alcholol fumes were a give away)sneaked up on me and asked “what ya doing?”
She wasn’t impressed when I said “minding my own business”
Glad you are back safely.
Perfect response!
Missed your mile high opportunity. :shakes head sadly:
A lucky escape I suspect.
Dammit Lo Pan Capitals!
Yeah cause I scored the game winner 😉
It’s time for the annual self-assessment at work.
I wish someone else would assess me. I don’t like doing it myself.
Give us the form. I’m sure we could come up with an awesome evaluation for you
Lost Ralph.
Thank God it’s Tuesday!
30 minutes delay on the domestic flight.
Sigh
Maurice Sendak has died:

I’ll have to work on that later today.
I have to run out and do a few errands. Then I might see if my hockey movie(s) is on Netflix. If it is I’ll do a play by play on it as my penance for losing the hockey pool.

Because check out was earlier than ditto, Van and I were leaving, we left our bags at the hotel while we did the touristy stuff. I had a purple suitcase, T-Cat had a purple back pack. We went to pick up our bags the lady was absolutely adamant that T-Cat’s purple back pack was the only bag of that colour she had. She kept telling us that I was the one who gave her the back pack to hold, not T-Cat and she didn’t have any other suitcases for us. After much discussion she finally went into the back room and, lo and behold, found my bag there. I must have had a sign on my head that said “harass this person!!!” straight from the start. I don’t think I’ll be staying at that hotel again.
What do you mean my iphone has an update? How can I order Mother’s Day flowers if my phone is hijacked?
Turns out The Cutting Edge is on Netflix. However, I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll have time to watch it today. I’m suppose to have lunch with Boo, then they are coming to move my gas meter from inside to outside in a couple of hours. Time is not on my side today.
I liked that movie.
It’s a cute movie. I’ve seen it a couple of times.
Someone forced a copy … er I mean an original DVD *cough* of The Hulk into my hands last night… apparently I’m being forcefed DVDs now in order of Avengers pre-movies… etc.
I have to wonder if it isn’t just a simple “oh, whew she finally watched that movie” type feeling people get after I say, “OK, I watched that.”
Well Pan I finally got home.
A cuppa and then a snooze on the sofa is on the agenda.
Glad you made it home, Van

CP: Selfish — CU Next Weekend
Also it’s all but certain that Yotes finally have an owner. Looks like they will be staying in Glendale. wOOt!
Also, looks like Wil Wheaton will be at Phoenix Comicon this year after all. Knowing that his is a big Kings fan I wonder if I should have him sign my Coyotes year book?
Also, it looks like I need to put the work “also” in lock down.
Yay!
I made bonus at work this quarter.
It’s more than the garage door repair cost.
This made me giggle… or it could just be the delirium result of over-tiredness….
That’s great news! 🙂
You rock!
Double yea!
The garage door repair guy was Spellwight’s favorite MMMmmmeetup attendee.
He was certainly handy with his tool of choice.
No comment.
I would like to add my thanks to all our host and hostess this past weekend your hospitality was full of WIN. Also a thanks to TEB for letting us sample foreign candy (do with that what you will Deadpan). Trying new stuff is always fun and this time it was tasty as well.

Glad everyone made it home safely!
We did adopt a kitty and the HumanE Society today! She’s a very cute black 7-month-old named Serafina Pekkula. Our older cat, Gertrude, hates her deeply.
Such a cutie! She reminds me of my kitteh, Dinky… sending kitty hugs to all.
Glad to hear that all my fellow travelers are safely home again. It was a truly remarkable gathering and I look forward to the next one.
So, make sure to block out all of 2013 until Jack nails down the next date 🙂

Yikes. I can’t believe those guys dared work at a factory in Clifton.

This will be done on Friday. As cool as new Ogre (and new Cars Wars?!) would be, 100 bucks is an awful lot to pay for a board game. Especially one that used to cost 2.95.
In all fairness, I don’t think the $2.95 comes with as much stuff as the $100 version. 😉
I’m tempted to purchase, but you’re right, one Benjamin is a lot for a single board game.
Back to the unreality of reality.

My news spot aired – for those who want to see me in all my 5 seconds of sheer amazingness *cough*NOT*cough* Here’s the linkage: http://x.co/k3rs in case you didn’t already see the 5 bazillion Facebook posts about it that is. :tongue:
I shouldn’t watch myself. I’m so awkward… and I think the camera guy had a think for my glittery eyeshadow.
It turns out, the person who was doing some of my recs while I was away forgot about one of them. I have to do four days of stupid recs as well as catching up on my other work *more sighs*
well. That’s just poop.
Yup. Don’t expect to hear much from me today as I try to catch up.
That sucks.

When I saw “russian-science-fiction” I thought for sure that it would be Solaris. I’m really glad it wasn’t. The movie bored me to tears and I doubt the book would do much better.
Stanislav Lem (who wrote the book Solaris was based on) was Polish.
You are correct. My apologies to Russian literature.
Well by various accounts, the movies didn’t do the book justice, so might be worth checking out if you ever encounter a used copy.
Yes, oh Madman Across the Water. Again, you are correct. I was really griping about a Russian film (based on a Polish book) when, in fact, the topic at hand was a Russian book. It would be like me trying to say that Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep was a crappy book because I didn’t like the movie Bladerunner (in fact I loved both). I just couldn’t resist taking a pot shot at Solaris. I really, really, really found that movie

I heard an interesting stat about this. Seems most people did not realize that what they were voting on ALSO constitutionally banned “civil unions”. When polled after the fact, a majority of those who voted FOR the amendment said they would NOT HAVE DONE SO if they had realized they were constitutionally banning civil unions.
This indicates that the citizenry of N.C. aren’t quite as narrow minded as they appear OR that they are too stupid to read the details of things as important as constitutional amendments and can be easily duped by extremists … or maybe all of the above.

Going to a newish Thai restaurant tonight. What’s your favorite Thai dish?
The MacDs next door.
I’m with Van, I don’t like Thai, though I’m just as likely to avoid McDonald’s too… Sorry, can’t help Cyn.
I love Thai. I always rate places by how well they do Phad Thai, Basil Fried Rice, and Panang Curry.
Yum, Thai food
Is a coat and Thai required?
I dont know about Thai, but I want to start a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho King…
Luvs me some Thai!
Favorite is Pad Thai but only from one particular place.
From the restaurant closets to me I get the Fried Rice or the Yellow Curry chicken. Occasionally I will get the lettuce wrap. NOMNOMNOM
Are you looking for recommendations or just curious? I am good with most Thai curry dishes (especially the coconut milk ones), but not so fond of pad Thai. That seems to be more popular with folks who like peanut butter.
Wonderful suggestions. Thank you all.
Tonight I tried Hot Basil in Overland Park. I ordered an app, entree and dessert (saving half of each for tomorrow’s lunch). The app was Summer Rolls, the entree was medium spiced Yellow curry and the dessert is the most awesome Chocolate Rangoon. I am stuffed and happy.
ditto, I’ve made the recommendation that our mutual friends might want to go with you and Tcat there.
They had OMG fast service. From the time I ordered to the time I got my app was less than three minutes.
I was wondering if that was the place. They also do a yummy crab fried rice.

Rhettro – Dukes of Hazzard or Predators
Used Hair – Maid in Manhatten or Warriors
ditto – Pecker or The X Files

Cynful – Rocky Balboa or The Village
UH watched Maid in Manhattan already
Thanks, Bunny! I would like to point out, however, that New Jersey beat Florida, so Amy is obligated to watch either Legend or Jersey Girl.
Van is also is possession of Born in East L.A. on DVD. There were witnesses when he received it.

Hey Van, (or anyone else this applies to) have you seen the movie, Headhunters? A Norwegian thriller of an art thief?
Im curious about it.
Yup, I rather enjoyed it.
Although the Art theft forms only a minor part of the movie.
I recently listened to a podcast that covered one of the Pertwee Dr Who stories.
This one was from the early 70’s, one method of killing by the Autons was a plastic flower that when activated squirted liquid plastic over a victims face, which hardened and suffocated them.
Kids tv eh?

I just had a dream where I was on a trip somewhere, and Ryah, John (Hubby), and Debbie (Spellwight) were all there. I got to hang out with them. <3
The odd(er) part was that John didn’t look anything like the pictures I’ve seen of him. He looked a lot like Justa J0e, and yet, I know it was John as soon as I saw him, probably because he was sitting next to Ryah at the bar. We were sitting in this order, and I was looking to my right when I saw everyone:
me — Ryah — John — Debbie
Maybe it was justa J0e Satriani?

It was a fun movie. There were no 2d versions offered in any of the showing near us so we decided to go big. Luckily, the 3d was fairly subtle
Too bad we’re not all in AZ again this weekend!

Hubby askEd what shwarma was. I told him he woulnt like it. His reply, “that’s what I thought”. Then dropped the subject.
He’s not very adventurous when it come to food.

Trash talking
My cat left me. Even she can’t handle it’s movie
She looks a little nervous
Is it over?
Unfortunately, no
The music starts. The skates take to the ice
She’s not skating. She’s hovering
Ow!
What a trooper
They came in fourth
The ex girlfriend is doing with the ex coach
They’re going to Paris!
Aww,, the brother approves now
The ex is a conniving bitch
You didn’t love me
Gotta love the paparazzi
They are going to try a really dangerous skate move
Now I know where the got the idea for the movie Blades of Glory.
They’re practicing a dangerous move that could lose a head
This isn’t working too well
So when are they going to kiss? There’s only 20 minutes left and they haven’t even locked lips yet
She basically ask him to sleep with her
Paris
“they are one impressive pair”
The moisten idea that drives her off. We knew it had to happen
And again
Trying to fix the mistake
Two blondes, one guy
Ha! The coach is a horn dog
Yeah Zack, tell Alix
She’s leaving. Oh no! What will he do?
Gag, chock, couch
Couch? Really autocorrect?
They have two minutes to get to the ice
I love you Alex 😥
:cwy:
The tension builds
I will admit, the skating parts are beautiful
Of course they nailed it. What would the movie be if they didn’t?
Ok, what did I think of this movie?
As far as these kind of movies go, it was fine. It hit all the tropes and did it’s best to tug at the heart strings. Really the biggest problem with this movie was me. I generally don’t do chick flicks, and this was definitely that
There, my hockey debt has been paid. (please don’t make me look for and watch the first one *gets on knees and begs*)
I’ll probably go with Phoenix Lights, myself…
Yeah, that wasn’t available on Netflix here.
If you’re really lucky tomorrow will be this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1756832/
Either that or Scorpion King 3. I guess it depends on my mood at the time
Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit.
Uh oh! What happened?
Yeeesh… mi dispiace, monsieur
That was hockey-related frustration. Sorry. Everything is ok in the real world, AFAIK.
*checks latest hockey scores*
Dude. That sucks. 🙁
(For everyone else who doesn’t follow hockey: Jack’s New Jersey Devils just lost to the New York Rangers.)
