CONTENT GALORE!

Hello chickadeeeeees!

I have had two cups of coffee and now I'm having chicken fingers for breakfast. Hush, [livejournal.com profile] moireach, sometimes we have to do what have to do.



Last night was a horror and a half. Even though the temps outside dipped into the lower sixties, my house would NOT cool off. I was up at 2 am unable to sleep from the heat.

So I logged on World of Warcraft. Died with my druid and thought 'i should do something i don't have to focus on' and decided to play a newbie - my little lvl 8 warlock *beams at her*. And I played until 6 am, when the house FINALLY cooled off enough. And then I went and lay down for about 30 minutes and things flickered before my eyelids and all I could think about was how I don't know how many more days of this I could take! I might need to see about taking a half day tomorrow or something and getting somebody in before Friday. Particularly cause mombo has decided she's NOT coming down Thursday night now, she's gonna come down Friday instead which means she won't get here til afternoon anyway!

In kitten news - I got his meds. The pharmacy makes it on the premises and are specialize in customized prescriptions based on weight and size, etc. And making it in forms that the animals will eat. So it's this liquid made from tuna juice and it makes me think of tuna fish sandwiches and the kitten LOVED it and I've never had an easier time feeding a pet their meds. He has to have a dose every night for a month - and I think he'll be crushed when it's finished. My favorite part is the warning label: May cause nausea, stomach ache or headache. I wanna know how they know it might give him a headache! I keep asking him how his head feels but so far he's not indicated a problem.

They called about my car last night, as well! Apparently she hit me so hard the floor buckled. *sobs* It is gonna take a lot lot lot of work to fix it. I'm supposed to go over and sign a release form for them to take the rear-end off so they can investigate further. Meep.

My back is twitchy but I don't actually think it's a result of the accident, just it being twitchy.

NOW! JUST so you don't think that my LJ is going to turn into all whine, all the time (as opposed to all wine, which would be a plus - speaking of which Mombo IS making arrangements to bring up lots and lots of wine, weee!), we present you with exciting LuthorCorp news!!



First of all, we're going to decorate the back hallway. I'm a member of the committee (even though I told them I have no artistic abilities at all, but if they draw outlines, i can color them in!). We're doing a catacomb of clowns aka creepy carnivale fun! We're going to get plastic masks and paint scary clown faces on them and get cotton-wool cotton candy to wrap things with and paint the hallway like a big top of DEATH. It's very exciting. ALso wrong because I hate hate hate clowns. But the 'sunken pirate ship' was going to be too much work. Although, as swmboss and swmboss 2.0 said, anything we don't use for the back hallway & break room will be kept in mind for the Great Halloween Decorations of 05.

Second of all, Coworker R came back from her vacation today! Well, came back in the loosest sense, she was in this morning but now has the rest of the week off. Coworker R went to New York City for the extended holiday weekend and naturally they went out to eat.

As they approach the restaurant, there's a guy outside shouting "Superman's inside, Superman's inside". Coworker R and her husband just ignore it, thinking 'crazy homeless guy'.

Then they walk in, are seated and discover that their table is...right next to Tom Welling's.

Apparently crazy homeless guy was only SORTA crazy! Coworker R said she made eye contact briefly and then couldn't take it and had to look away. But that he looks exactly like he does on TV and is absolutely gorgeous. This prompted about a ten minute discussion of Tom Welling at work. *beams* And Coworker N is going to bring in a poster to hang up of him.

Tom W. was with some guy who wanted to be his new agent. And they were eating cheesecake and the wanna-be-agent guy kept raving about how delicious the cheesecake was. And the lady next to Coworker R turned to Tom and said "Is it really that good?" and he smiled and said "It really, really is". And was just as nice as can be. Nobody came up to bother him, although a lot of people were taking pictures from a distance.

So that made all of our day here, because awww. Plus our own Lex is going to be so jealous when he hears about it!! The Chief Operating Officer of my company has huge Smallville posters all over his office wall and collects superman memorabilia. It's actually disconcerting to go to his office for a review or a meeting and have huge posters of Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum staring down at you. But in a good way.


Anyway, that's the news from the swm-front!

I love you, swmbo. :) :) :)

Also, OMG FLOOR BUCKLING?!?!?! *whimper* It reminds me of my very first car accident, when I was hit outside my school by a guy making a three-point turn without LOOKING and he knocked my engine off its block. My first car, totalled within two weeks of me getting it. *sobs* I still weep for my poor, lost Saturn. I learned how to drive STICK on that thing!!!

*caresses newer, more souped-up Saturn lovingly* Shhhh, baby, no one will ever hurt you, I promise ...

Hi, lovely one! I miss!

*clings and loves*

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I love you, too!!!

Aww, *cuddles you and your Saturn*

That's scary and would traumatize me sooo much! I realized last night driving home from getting the kitten meds how traumatized I am. That was the first time since the accident I had to drive in any actual traffic and I kept seeing everybody doing REALLY stupid things - including a guy behind me who did NOT slow down as I slowed down becasue the car in front of me was turning, just zipped into the other lane. And I was like !!!!!!!

*shudder*

TIme heals all wounds, however!

>>I wanna know how they know it might give him a headache!

LOL! Good point.

Since I turned seventeen and got that first Saturn, I have been through a grand total of (and I had to stop and think about this) six cars. SIX CARS. The first one was lost in that accident, the second got hit by a deer (no, seriously -- the deer ran INTO my car) and was totalled, the third died, the fourth died, the fifth died (and they were all Geos, so there you go), and now I've had the Saturn for about two and a half years (shit, maybe even three) years. *g*

I guess what I'm trying to say is this -- accidents SUCK. I've had my fair share of them (though thankfully, I've never been at fault for one, other than the time I accidentally mildly rear-ended someone, but it doesn't count because there was no damage and no one called the cops *g*), and they shake you up EVERY DAMN TIME, but you get behind the wheel anyway. YOU DO IT, SWMBO! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!!

Hahahaha, I started reading in the middle of a paragraph and thought some crazy homeless guy looks just like Tom Welling.

And dude, yesterday some crazy homeless guy had the audacity to ask me for change WHILE SIPPING HIS FRESH EXTRA LARGE DUNKIN' DONUTS COFFEE COOLATTA. omg whatEVER.

Hush, [info]moireach, sometimes we have to do what have to do.

I suppose that's all right JUST THIS ONCE since you've inspired me to have yummy yummy chicken fingers sometime in the vaguely near future. with HONEY.

MY PIQUE!

*glomps on to you*

I missssss you. But oh oh oh, this fall you are going to watch Supernatural with Fod and I, right? You will be scared though and need somebody to hold your hand!

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
There are MULTIPLE reasons why I call it LuthorCorp.

Also - I am not kidding - he shaves his head completely bald. And he has blue eyes. And a superman obsession. IT IS FREAKY!

POOR KITTIES!

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
God, I KNOW! I am just like '... - MY CAR!'.

But the kitten is soo cute, my god. And he got all grumpy that I was awake last night instead of in bed where he can torment me. AND he likes to sleep stretched out against my spine and PURR and it's like a little massage and so brilliant!

[identity profile] lalejandra.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww! SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, the secret is to START at the BEGINNING and then read until the END, then STOP!

*beams at you*

omg, if you have dunkin donuts coffee you are not poor! I wish I had some right now!

Heee. *beams at you* *tempts you to do her bidding*

*tackleglomps*

I miss you soooo much!

SWM OF COURSE I WILL WATCH IT!

but um. wot is it?

I have nobody to hold hands with during scary bits now that Circe is gone!

*sniffles*

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude. Just...Dude. Wow, that's a LOT of cars.

One, no more GEOs for you. Two, NO MORE ACCIDENTS!!

*doesn't give up, doesn't surrender* *clings tightly*

This is actually MY third accident! The first one totaled the car, the second one was another time I got rear-ended and then this one. Well and an accident that did no damage. But this one is actually the one that's freaked me out the most! Even though the first one landed me in the hospital for weeks!

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
yay yay yay yay!!

Oh god, Pique, it's this show about two brothers who travel across the backroads of America visiting small towns and fighting DEMONS!

And we saw the pilot and it rocked, it was soo good and actually, actually SCARY and made me jump and it's really well done and acted and also CUTE BOYS! Cute boys fighting demons!! Eeee! With DADDY ISSUES! Cause they're actually in search of their father, who disappeared!

*wishes she was there to hold your hand*

I had yummy chicken fingers for lunch yesterday. *remembers them fondly*

I am sorry you could not sleep, but at least there was WoW goodness. Speaking of, I am having Everquest II DREAMS! I am killing adult haze kodiak bears in my sleep, Swm! And also, lots other weird stuff that defies explanation. We should not ponder my unconscious mind for long, it's too dangerous.

Tom Welling! *swoon* He's just so...big.

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
And he LIKES IT! He's always skittering around my feet, where I go, there he is.

*squishes him*

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
hahhahhahahhaa! Once you have dreams, you're doomed. I used to dream EQ and now I will sometimes dream WoW

I had *such* a blast with my warlock - they're sorta a combo of mage and necro, with just a splash of wizard. If EQ2 uses the same classe as EQ1. And she's lvl 11 now, weee!

God, I KNOW! And so very, very pretty.

Ugh ... buckled floor, sounds like the entire frame is damaged. You might just want to see if they can declare it junked. Even after a repair, cars with frame damage are never quite right. *comfort*

Every time I make tunafish sandwiches anymore, or other tuna goodness I always drain the water into a bowel for Phoebe. Also starting to eat salmon fish sandwiches since my cat likes salmon flavored water more then tuna. I'll go ahead and post another series of kitty pictures later, I already have a story theme for them.

Also I had coffee trama this morning. My sleep schedule has become split, and I sleep in 4 hour shifts, for a total of 8 hours in a 24 hour period. Which makes me cranky and really in need of coffee. I got up to do something and took my mug (a cup is never enough) with me. When I returned to my computer, I went to drink more coffee and ugh it wasn't at my desk. Not only that I couldn't remember where I put it. I searched for ten minutes and when I found it, I discovered that I had already emptied it. *cry* Need more coffee.

Ugh hate clowns too. That and disney type mascots. *shiver*

Do they love each other? Will they always be watching out for one another when they fight? Is there banter? Will they share motel beds and sleep in just their boxers? COUNT ME IN OMG!

*bounces*

*clutches you*

When is it on?!?!?!

[identity profile] swmbo.livejournal.com 2005-07-06 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
If they total it, I'm screwed - this close to having driven it off the lot, I'll be lucky if it pays off what is owed the finance company, much less get back a downpayment and what i've paid.
