Why didn’t I think to go looking for this before? *drools*
Buy his music:
The world is still hazy, but on the left, instead of on the right.
I’m using the backup glasses that I used when my contacts started to give my left eye “pre-infection symptoms.” The ones from August/September 2003 have bitten the dust, snapped at the weld of the nose bar onto the frame. It’s just as well, because the right lens was gouged pretty good, and the paint on the frames was starting to flake off. Of course, on the backup glasses, the coating is peeling off of the left lens. So, from one blurry eye to the other. I have an appointment with a local D.O.C. (always treated me well, and been upfront with what insurance will and will not cover) tomorrow afternoon before work. I may or may not be suffering with the old glasses at PenguiCon. We shall see.
I got some more writing done yesterday, so expect a new Weekly Word Count tomorrow. :) Two weeks in a row! I probably won’t be doing any more tonight, as there are teaser CDs that need to be labeled, DVD cases (for previously mentioned CDs) that need to have covers inserted, and I need to pick and practice my reading for the Con.
I am SO excited. Freaking out in a good way. :)
Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It appears you’re cooperating (sort of) with an authority figure who’s using the carrot-and-stick routine on you. I suppose that could lead you at least part of the way to the promised land–especially if you really believe you can’t motivate yourself without the authority’s prodding. But if you plan to continue in this vein, Taurus, can I please convince you to ask for the biggest, freshest carrot and a beautifully decorated stick?
Blargh, I tell you, BLARGH!
I feel like crap.
Moving on.
I burned a lot of teaser CDs yesterday.
I’m very mopey, grumpy, mood swingy, and am taking many things personally that are not normally taken in such a way.
Okay, so not so much with the moving on.
I have been medicated with over the counter goodness, and am waiting for it to kick in.
Not so much with the getting things done today. Maybe work will be better.
An actual weekend.
Happy Easter!
Despite the offense that some may take, I have the desire to reiterate a joke broadcast on last night’s IPM. “Happy Zombie Jesus Day! He died for your sins, and came back for your brains!”
Ahhh. :)
Tactless humor aside, this weekend has been awesome. I’ve caught up on all sorts of little tasks that have been begging to get done for a long time. I’ve been able to begin preparations for the PenguiCon awesomeness that lies on the horizon. I have even dreamed about having so much fun at the con, that I’ve forgotten that I was supposed to be participating in panels and doing a reading. With the hotel sold out, and the overflow hotel filling up, I’m certain that I will have that much fun. I just hope that
Also, I can’t wait for the chaos machine again this year. I always have so much fun fiddling with that thing.
I have yet another happy “getting over the block” moment, but I don’t want to jinx it this time. I do, however, plan on having an updated word count up on the web site tomorrow.
There have been a few more specific announcements about both PenguiCon and The Glass Crown on my good old Google Group, so head on over there if you’re curious. Clicky, clicky!
Thanks to my mom and
Okay, all of this is now out of my head, and can make way for the trials and tribulations of Chuck, an officer in the Homeland Guard.
Robert Newman History of oil

| “Robert Newman History of oil” on Google Video |  |
| Robert Newman gets to grips with the wars and politics of the last hundred years – but rather than adhering to the history we were fed at school, the places oil centre stage as the cause of all commotion. This innovative history programme is based around Robert Newman’s stand-up act and supported by resourceful archive sequences and stills with satirical impersonations of historical figures from Mayan priests to Archduke Ferdinand. Quirky details such as a bicycle powered street lamp on the stage brings home the pertinent question of just how we are going to survive when the world’s oil supplies are finally exhausted. | |
Horoscope
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “It is by going down into the abyss that you recover the treasures of life,” wrote mythologist Joseph Campbell. “Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.” Keep those thoughts uppermost in mind, Taurus. You’ve dared to crawl down into the abyss, and that’s admirable. But now comes the most important part: your stumble. Be alert for every detail about it. It’s the key to your future treasure.
3rd try’s the charm.
I’d really like it if I could get the Averatec laptop to sell on eBay without being won by a Nigerian identity theif. Luckily, four ebay identities have been freed and returned to their rightful owners. Unluckily, I have had to list the laptop for sale for the third time.
But, Plan B has been fulfilled, and I now have a laptop that will play the new hotness. :)
