Smoked moose
That's me right now. I slept poorly because of some drugs I took before sleeping, and because currently all of the interior's wildfires are blowing my way. Right now, everything smells like smoke. Tastes like smoke. Feels... smoked. The actual air quality isn't that bad yet, but probably because of the predicament I was in last night, it's really ( Read more... ) -
the boat
While I was tying lashings, it occurred to me that some of you don't know what I'm talking about when I talk about the boat. Namely because I never really wrote about the boat here. I wrote about it elsewhere, but not here.
Well, I'm building a boat! Here's an older build picture:

General update
Aside from the stupid at work, things have been pretty blasé around here. The boat hasn't taken up too much of my time, due to there being sprinkles in the forecast whenever I have the time to do something for it. I wanted to have it finished with lashing yesterday, but the rain in the morning, and the hockey in the evening really made that an ( Read more... ) -
Scooped again

Zetterberg kick's Malkin's ASS.
Oh, god, it's a bad idea to rub it into my boss' face (him a pen's fan), but Malkin picks a fight with Zetterberg, and Zetterberg proceeds to lay the smack down on Malkin embarrassingly hard. I was in a bar full of pens fans, and it was great. They were thrilled when Malkin picked the fight, but how fast that died off. Here's a video:
Woo!

Dr WHO new companion
For the sake of spoilers, I won't reveal who it is. Only to say she's a Scot who looks about as good as Dr. Jones did. If you don't mind spoilers, you can click here. No story spoliers, but actor spoilers, I suppose.
And I do mean `looks good.`
I liked the last companion, because she brought story back to the fore, but I found her a tad shrill at ( Read more... ) -
Some guidance
Rule 1 for unexpectedly calling people in distant timezones: Check the clock first.
Because I swear to god, I don't take shit at 4 am. Nor do I take calls. -
Finally
I have today off, since I worked last Saturday. I'm not even glancing sideways at work today. I slept in until 9:00. It was great. Now I'm blogging from bed.
I need to work a little less hard, or I'm going to burn myself out.

(Untitled)
I know there's a few people on my LJ friend's list who have the same problem I do - scented fabric softeners/degergents sometimes make breathing... tricky. Well, Bounce has some fabric sheets with "Fresh Linen" scent that not only work nicely as fabric softener, but also have the advantage of not making my lunges clamp down like a vicegrip on a ( Read more... ) -
What, me, worry?
I've been hearing this question a lot: "Why should we worry about this flu at all?"
A lot of the time, it's a reasonable question. Although, sometimes it's followed by wild accusations against the WHO, lizard people, Jewish World Order, Illuminati and/or Democrats. A couple of times, I've tried to gently explain to people why people are concerned ( Read more... )
