Nice, Kingston is a pretty damn good University. Do you know if they still do those funny end of year pranks?

I don't know, but I'll probably find out on the 14th when I meet some of their people.

Thanks for the support.

Instant is the shit.

Well that kind of depends on the instant coffee, some of it is utter crap, some of it is rather yummy though.

The only instant coffee that I've ever like is Nescafe from mexico...it's amazingness.

The instant i used is Maxwell House Mocha Latte flavor. It's decent.

The lovely package that I received in the mail has made my day.

Being able to lay down with some tea on the side while watching anime at night... very relaxing.

Which anime?

Some text messages made my day.
My grandmother bought me a new car over my protests and will be driving it down tomorrow.

0.o LUCKY....................................

Can I borrow your grandmother?

Okay, what made my day: Three things. One, I was on the way to work and stopped at the post office. Started to buy something from the vendor as I was running late, and he gave it to me -- free. Because it's Veteran's Day. That's not what made my day, however. He was an ex-Marine and he actually THANKED me for being an ex-Army Medic. That only happens once in a lifetime (Marines and Army have a rivalry that goes WAAY back).

I got to work, knowing that my boss was on the warpath, and feeling bummed about having to work on Veteran's Day when I'm a Vet. Then, someone told me my boss took the day off. I thought, "Of all the nerve..." since she isn't a Vet, but then they reminded me that she would be gone all day. Yay!! Veteran's Day started looking up after all.

Then, I got one of those reports that reminds me that one of the reasons I still I do my job (besides the paycheck), is just because of some of the amazingly weird things people do to themselves. (In this case it was a patient who decided the fastest way to 'get religion' was to swallow a cross. Ouch).

I fixed it for you.
Also I'm glad that your day didn't suck, though it does suck that as a vet you had to work on a day dedicated to veterans. Did you at least get holiday pay?




Remembering that I had hot coco mix totally made my day, nothing is better than curling up with a nice mug of coco when then weather is cold, windy, and wet.

Thanks. ;> I so wish, but it only counts as a holiday here if you work for the government, which I don't. Considering the weather is the same here, hot cocoa sounds like a plan.

I was in a small fashion show yesterday and all the compliments made my week. I feel pretty good about my body right now XD Also when I was getting my make up done the lady doing it said I had the longest eyelashes she's ever seen, then asked if they were real o.O She even went and got all the other make up artists to come look at them.

You guys got shitty weather too eh? We had our first snow stick to the ground today, it snowed before but melted soon after, this seems to be it. We're loving the heaters and electric blankets right now.

woke up this morning with my puppy snuggled up to me.

Notepad++ made my day.

Went to starbucks to get a gingerbread latte...and the guy who made it, sang to me....................it was amazingness.

This news story, widely reported on Veteran's day, made my day

Milwaukee, WI: Muggers See Army ID, Return Wallet

Would-be Robber Gives Soldier Fist Bump, Thanks Him For Service

Kyle Windorski, a 21-year-old college student in the Army Reserve, was walking home Tuesday morning on the east side of Milwaukee when four men with stocking caps over their faces forced him into an alley at gunpoint and demanded cash ... The muggers then turned their attention to Mr. Windorski’s various identification cards: a driver’s license, a University of Wisconsin student card and a military ID.

“We’ve got to give this stuff back,” the ringleader snapped. “This guy’s military!”

Anyway, it doesn't mean much, but after the recent tragedy at Fort Hood, it's nice that someone's military service got them a break.

Well, it's not a NEW new car, it's a new USED car but that's hardly the point. The problem will be giving up the car I have. I am extremely sentimentally attached to it.

I visited a friend today whom I don`t get to see much. I really love her and hate the situation she`s currently in.. But I saw her today!! YUPPY!

Why not just keep both =D

Listening to EMF's 'Schubert Dip' LP (yep good old vinyl), which I bought in 1991...
Brings back a lot of memories!

Reading some of the posts on this board.

.... And I'm dancing alone in my living room! Love it! : D

I love dancing alone in random places!!!

While tidying out some cupboards I found a box of old necklaces and other bits of jewellery that I thought I had lost/thrown out so i am very happy at the moment sifting through the box drinking hot chocolate.

Boo, I guess it is because I live in an area with such a large military presence (gosh that makes it sound like an occupation zone or something) but here just about everyone counts it as a holiday, all the kids even get out of school.

This just made my evening, so I'm posting it on break, just in case you folks need a laugh:

Dictator says: He states that it interferes with even routine activities of daily living and he has trouble simply walking around the farm. He no longer can do any kind of bird hunting, which is one of his passions. Similarly, he would like to be able to fly fish but he cannot even make it down to the stream.


ASR says: He states that it interferes with even routine activities of daily living and he has trouble simply walking around on his forearm. He no longer can do any kind of birthing of hobbits, which is one of his passions. Similarly he would like to be able to fly like a flying fish, but he cannot even make it downstream.

And people wonder why I moonlight as a medical editor. 1. Because I need the paycheck and, 2. Because computer 'bloopers' are so much funnier than doctor 'bloopers. '

Now, back to work.

Sweet cheeks there's a reason I work three jobs and it ain't 'cause I like staying busy.

"You can't schlepp shmutz."

I'm sorry, I feel ya there. I'm about to have to pick up another job myself

48 toe and fist push-ups in less than a minute. Better than the boys.

This. I was having a really bad day, in between shifts, bills, etc. Then I heard this and remembered how funny Tom Lehrer songs are. Sometimes, a good laugh is all you need to set you straight.

When You're Old and Grey-By Tom Lehrer

Since I still appreciate you,
Let's find love while we may.
Because I know I'll hate you
When you are old and gray.

So say you love me here and now,
I'll make the most of that.
Say you love and trust me,
For I know you'll disgust me
When you're old and getting fat.

An awful debility,
A lessened utility,
A loss of mobility
Is a strong possibility.
In all probability
I'll lose my virility
And you your fertility
And desirability,
And this liability
Of total sterility
Will lead to hostility
And a sense of futility,
So let's act with agility
While we still have facility,
For we'll soon reach senility
And lose the ability.

Your teeth will start to go, dear,
Your waist will start to spread.
In twenty years or so, dear,
I'll wish that you were dead.

I'll never love you then at all
The way I do today.
So please remember,
When I leave in December,
I told you so in May.

It made my day too! Sad, but brilliant.

Tom Lehrer is brilliant.

My day was made when I landed in Milwaukee ... and found I could walk around outside in a t-shirt ... in November! Win!

Today we are visiting with my folks and going to the art museum on the lakefront!

Re-Certified for CPR/AED with no issue

I got a job interview ^_^
YESAHHHH!!

After a month without my computer I have it working again and have started to recover my old collection.

It's Jazz central in my room at the moment.

^thinking about Jazz in Corpsey's room^

I made a strawberry cake.

I found the MP3 for Over the Hills and Far Away by Garry Moore.

Finding a bag of Bio Tortillas in my room. Win.

That made me think of trying to fit all these guys into my room.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-TAxm00jOg

That would make for one hell of a Session.

Or were you thinking of another kind of Jazz?

Jack, were the Tortillas fresh? If so that is definitely a win.

Seeing Sax snuggled to my girlfriend on the sofa after a busy morning of tail-chasing an rug-peeing has made my day.

I'm not ashamed to say I "awwwww" 'd out loud. Dogs are fucking beautiful. :]

I just found a 3 Musketeers bar, my favorite candy, in the kitchen. My day has been made.

No school! My day has just been made. And Hammer films to spend it with!

Me and my freind's boyfriend were sitting on a couch watching He-Man at the independant media center, and he says "Man, if I were a superhero, there would be no alter-ego. Everyone would know I had superpowers. I would never change my name."

And I said "No, dude, you'd be... "Hinkle-Man"!" (air punch LEFT, RIGHT!)

He was so excited about it he slapped my thigh so hard he left a bruise, the fucking spaz. Hooray for new nicknames.


Also, from She-Ra, "I need my sword to turn into She-ra! Since I can't use muscles, I'll have to use ideas."

I drove a 100 tonne haulpak, only a baby one but still big enough for starters.

Right now I'm eating some kind of delicious berry, sugary-icing, bread-twist thing, and watching Shinbone Alley. This is kinda making my day too.
