The Life and Times

Yeah.  I did that.

Went and saw my doc today (screw that no appointment til 12 May BS...she wasn't happy to hear that I'd been pushed back that far).  Colonel told me that I tore something in the foot (hence the bruising from where it bled).  Currently on a 120 day profile and have to have a fitness consult as soon as I get back from leave.  Here in a few weeks, I'd guess, I get to also have a physical therapy consult to go with it.  Doc's words:  "You do good work :p"

She woulda sent me to ortho to be fitted for a better splint but for whatever reason, the base hospital is closed (I'm assigned to a place called aerospace medicine...my job requires that).  So she put me in an air cast to wear around the house since my other splint isn't conducive to walking.

See?  Who needs to go out with a bang when a resounding crash works just fine.

Why for not?

So.  Utilizing the library computer at the moment.  Wireless crapped out completely at the hotel.  Now, I was just on one of these computers not 2 hours ago and it wasn't blocking anything.  But...for whatever reason, it has decided to block my friends list and devart. 

Access denied indeed. 

Got no right to tell me what I can and cannot look at on the internet.  

Anyway, I'll probably be back on here later with my computer (seeing as it's the only place where I get a good signal...and it -wasn't- blocking my personal computer before so we shall see.  That would suck).

Also forgot how much I hate typing on desktop keyboards.  They're loud.

Going back out to the picnic now.  Hopefully, will return soon enough.

"Why?"

"I want to convince Vaxoram that I can have his eyes anytime I want," Kindan replied. "If he understands that, perhaps he'll surrender."

"And if he doesn't?"

"Then he'll lose an eye," Kindan replied staunchly, his stomach in a tight knot.

"And if he doesn't stop then?" Mikal persisted.

Kindan heaved a deep sigh. "Then I'll blind him and leave him fighting his own shadows."

Mikal locked eyes with him over the distance and then nodded in acknowledgment of Kindan's conviction.

~Ann and Todd McCaffrey. Love it love it love it. The book is called "Dragon Harper".

Found this in the Sunday paper and had to share.

Because, seriously, puppy crotch might offend someone.

My fellow Americans...tell me one thing.

Do you have any clue who these people are?

Chuck Baldwyn and Darrell Castle
Bob Barr and Wayne Root
Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente
Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez
Ted Weill and Frank McEnulty

No? No clue?

I'll give you a hint.

They're running for the same offices as John McCain and Sarah Palin as well as Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

That's right. These people are running for President and Vice President of the United States of America.

There's been the whole thing of Sarah Palin possibly becoming the first female VP. There was talk about Hillary Clinton possibly becoming the President, had she won the nomination. But look! There in the list of names! Two females, running TOGETHER. One for president, one for vice. Why doesn't this kinda thing make news?

Or how about that Ralph Nader has been running for President for -years-. He tries every election.

I was told today that 'you have to settle. None of the third party candidates are ever going to win so you have to pick the lesser of the two evils.'

No. That's wrong on a universal level. You shouldn't ever have to settle. Ever. The only reason it happens is because people don't find out that there are others running for the election til they get to the polls. Many people don't bother.

Well, now is your chance. There's everyone running for the presidential office. Go. Google-fu the hell out of it and make the choice right for you. Don't settle. This country was never meant to simply settle. Don't think that because you're voting for the little guy, the guys who will never get face time on t.v., that you're wasting your vote. I'm telling you right now, it is never, ever wasted.

Here's what I want. I want these names spread across the internet like crazy. Let people know that they have a choice. Let them know that this is a MULTI-PARTY system, not just a two party.

An entire gallon of sweet tea will not only keep one awake throughout a mid-shift but will also make you have to piss like a damned race horse.

Minesweeper is easy as all fuck at 4 in the morning because, after all, the objective by that time of day is to blow shit up.

Reprogramming the Microsoft games to find Power Point Slides instead of the actual game is funny shit.

By the time shift change comes around, try and lure in your "prey" with the promise of girls in bikinis having a pillow fight. Do so when the only person in the building housing these girls contains only one guy.

Blueberry pancakes are made of absolute-fucking-win.

Trying to go to sleep when the sun is up? Yeah. No.

They're almost there. Just a little bit more.

I'm in there, orderin' a Southern Chicken Sammich...look behind me at the toy display and BAM! TF:A toys.

Naturally, I bought whatever they had out.  My lucky draw turned out to be Bee and Screamer.

Everyone, meet Oz.  Oz, meet LJ.

So, I get on Myspace, a site I don't really frequent.  And, once again, discover that maybe I should.  My younger sister has this habit of posting her life there.  This is one such episode. 

Apparently, she burned herself by dropping soup at work.  Boiling soup.  She now has what look to be at least 2nd degree burns on her right forearm and bicep.  She's refusing to go to the doctor and continues to work, arm wrapped in whatever she's using to wrap. 

She won't listen to our parents.  She won't listen to her younger sister.  She probably won't listen to me.  And she might get pissed because I just sicced Jess on her XD.  If anyone can get her to listen, it'll be Jessiey.  I await further news but since Jess and Bobbie are both at work, there's no telling when news will come down the wire.
