so my youngest was splashing her way through the puddles today and i wondered where in the hell my ability to just kick back and relax had gone. killed by the mountain of work tension and debt most likely. i can see the end to all of that is drawing ever closer, but i fear that i shall have some massive attack of stress induced illness before i ( Read more... )

Survival of the fittest continues. L. returns to preschool next week and at some point E. gets tested for Horizons, which is the Georgia gifted program. I am still underemployed and thus underpaid. Everyday the money situation gets tighter and I get closer to that magic day when all my old bills (except the student loans) are paid off. Then I ( Read more... )

blargh, the longer journal spamming shall live again one day!

I've got to get my game back. Lately everything I do has been distracted, resulting in poor performance. I just locked myself out of my house again for the second time because I changed pants and then got to doing something else before I finished switching over my keys and wallet. I can't get by without my lovely computer time and I am not ( Read more... )

So now that sufficient time has passed since I have posted here, as in just short of forevers, time for a bit more extended catch-up. The girls are currently screaming in their room, which is slowly turning into bedtime ( Read more... )

Overall, I would say 3.5 out of 5.  It gave me explosions when I wanted explosions, and Zartan was a right bastard.  I think they could have done more with the CGI and with Destro's character, possibly by cutting a few minutes out of the car chases.  Although there are several things that I think I would do differently if I had control of the ( Read more... )

So I heard ABC is going to remake V.  Going on the coattails of BSG I guess.  I have a copy of the original series as well as the original movie-miniseries somewhere.  I need to go watch it all over again.  Along with my original BSG movie ( Read more... )

So the other night D swore she saw something down in the garage.  Tonight she managed to catch Scratch Fury, so named (at least by me for now) because the feral beast tore into D's hands.  It looks to be about 4-6 weeks old, and looks almost exactly like Velma.  There is a very small chance of it being the sole survivor of an inbreeding with Scooby ( Read more... )
