So how did you get through the Lord of the Ring movie and the most recent Hobbit movie? Eyes shut at the bad parts?

And by the way, I knew enough to take it seriously, as childish as we act around each other. I have an understanding of when to poke the bear and when to not.

I knew you were teasing Cag. And to answer the LOTR/Hobbit question, I closed my eyes the first time in the theater. The second time on both I psyched myself up for it days in advance. During the Shelob scenes I literally left bloody fingernail marks on Terry's hand but she knew it would happen and was cool about it. For the Hobbit I left finger bruises around my friend Robert's bicep even through his sweater. As long as I am prepared and know it's coming it's manageable(barely). It's the surprise factor that really messes me up.

Sarge, I appreciate the offer but you are too far away. Luckily I have Lady Tam and Danlo just up the street a block so they can quickly come and deal with the eight eyed, hairy monsters. 8O

Brace yourself if you go to Walgreens. They were setting up their Halloween displays today and had the aisle blocked with the largest, tackiest fake spider I have ever seen.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Tacky fake spiders I can handle. It's the realistic ones that creep me out and the real ones that trigger panic attacks.

I had a rough day. My coworker Roland is useless. Not in the mood to go in to it now but I will later.... ugh.

Did I tell you guys about the rat/mouse infestations at the Berkeley Office Depot??? Horrible. The back loading dock had been chewed open at the rubber/broom type seals and when you would go in the back to check locks or whatever, the rats would scatter. The mice had taken up residence under the candy/snacks up front and came in through the gap in the door from the front lockup area. Glue traps, poison, everything and I literally was the one to check them all. We had one mouse try to free himself from the glue trap so hard he literally tore open his own torso and eviscerated himself on the trap. It was traumatic. I felt so bad yet we had to clean the shelves of huge amounts of mouse poop and throw away candy and chips every three days. And the rats left way too many poop piles to not try to get rid of them. Luckily I am not afraid of rodents.

The catholic church is the largest pro-pedophillia group in the world, and every member of it is guilty of supporting the rape of children, the ensuing protection of the rapists, and the continuing suffering of the victims.

Never fear, Cag -- I haven't given up on you yet. :D

Probably wouldn't be practical to take the one in ABQ anyhow. It's an entry-level producer job at a TV station. They didn't even ask for a tape -- that's how entry-level it is. :lol: And it's only part-time, so I'd have to get a second job. But there it was, and I said what the hell, I'll send 'em my resume and see what happens. Gods know it would be more fun than what I'm doing now.

I am working on convincing Rigel to move to ABQ.

Now onto blathering: A few months ago I repainted the lobby at work because the paint was filthy and dingy. Three weeks later Midas International decided to change the lobby color scheme. I've put off repainting again as long as I could but finally started it last Friday. Today I was sitting on the floor painting the trim and then slid down to a new position and one of the tiles caught on my pants and ripped a hole in the butt. I had to wear my jacket the rest of the day so my techs and my customers would not see my underwear... :D I do admit I also like the new colors a lot better than the old ones. They changed the ugly mustard 1970's yellow to a light peachy cream color that's quite bright and attractive and it really is changing the whole feel of the lobby for the better. Other bad notes, it's gonna take two coats over the yellow and it already took three coats over the red with touchups.

MAMA!

Good to have you back, sis. Wow, a recent spotting of Sea here and now Jenn. Fantastico! Now if we can just get Cov Jr. back, Matrixman, and some others, it would feel like the band is back together.
