  • 18:31 believes it to be an interesting sign of the times that the Smashing Pumpkins have sold out to Hyundai #
  • 18:47 is watching out for #Sleestaks. Actually, I can't believe that's been made into a movie. Part of me wishes the old style effects are kept #
  • 18:49 @quilnib I am! Watching only to pad TiVo recording settings. #
  • 18:54 feels dumb now. No wonder there were free Springsteen songs on Guitar Hero. I = Super Bowl FAIL! #
  • 19:46 is just coming back from a putting children to sleep break. Now feeling like I've missed a lot. Bummer #
  • 20:00 is undergoing Super Bowl FAIL II: no 3-D glasses. Am recording this and borrowing glasses tomorrow to watch and then watch #Chuck too. Yeah #

  • 22:19 @gnatty This is why we're friends. :) Still, my palms were sweating in the last minutes of the game. Sad for me to admit, I know. #

  • 11:45 really enjoyed last night's episode of #Psych. It's been a while since I'd seen Mykelti Williamson in anything. Maybe going to #Bok in a bit #
  • 11:52 never would have expected the Talz to be fierce warriors, but there you are. starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Talz #

  • 20:23 has not seen #Nightbreed in a LONG time. It makes me wish there were an Imajica film in the work, but it's likely never going to happen #
  • 20:48 @BookFinder Is it something like a "Twitter After Dark" kind of feeling, or something else? :) #
  • 20:49 @BookFinder I thought it odd to see profiles of students I taught in high school, 14 years ago. Seeing profiles like you mention is WEIRD #
  • 20:59 @nebsllim Well, I feel a bit better as I got 100s on my discussions. Still, the 95 just kills me. #
  • 21:19 @sarahlane This requires careful thought, and a retweet, of course. #

  • 21:26 has a headache, but no idea why. Tiredness, perhaps? Surely, Bok Tower Gardens and the mall didn't tire me out #
  • 23:41 just finished The Girl in the Cafe. Not what I thought it would be, but was quite watchable. Worth borrowing from the library, like we did #
  • 23:46 @gnatty OMG! Turnips! I so FAIL at this game! #

Friday Five - The Mice Will Play Edition

The Beatles - Octopus's Garden
Sonic Youth - Cinderella's Big Score
Beach Boys - Meant For You
Dean Martin - That's Amore
The Archies - Sugar Sugar
Rush - Closer to the Heart
The Motels - Only the Lonely

Shuffling songs is a great thing! Honestly, when else would I get to listen to some Sonic Youth followed up by Dean Martin? Really.

Which, of course, reminded me of MST3K. Apparently, everything does from what I've heard.

Crow: "Today, the moon narrowly missed hitting a man's eye like a big pizza pie."
Servo: "Scientists believe that's amore."

Oh my gosh, now I believe it's time for an Andy Rooney-Off! Alas, it's back to work, though.

25 Random Things About Server Monkey

I distinctly recall doing this meme at one point in time. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the cryptic post subject line I used to originally post this. As such, I will redo it and name it a bit better so that I can find it easier later.

There are some rules, but you know I'm just leaving those out 'cause well, just because.

So, here are 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about me.

1. I am an only child.

2. As such, I have a number of neuroses that may or may not be hidden well.

3. My external persona hides my introversion quite well for the most part (though I could be wrong).

4. My Myers-Briggs result has been ISTJ every time I have taken it.

5. I think I use that as a crutch.

6. My relationship with my mother is, to put it as mildly as unscented baby soap, strained.

7. My relationship with my stepfather, however, is better.

8. I feel as if I am way too hard on my children.

9. I never would have imagined myself with two children.

10. I am extremely embarrassed of my middle name. Don't ask, we have a strained relationship too, thanks.

11. I am a HUGE Mystery Science Theater 3000 fan.

12. I over-analyze even the simplest things.

13. I have a hard time with currency that is not in order by denomination and serial number--yes, having change in my pocket makes me go all @_@

14. I have been a fan of Doctor Who for going on thirty years.

15. I can link myself to Kevin Bacon within two steps.

16. I have a phobia about germs.

17. I would love to live in Seattle, but I do not see that happening any time soon.

18. I have a very difficult time not being purposefully distant.

19. I have entirely too many songs on my iPod--about 10,000 give or take.

20. I am inherently a very boring person.

21. I am not adventurous in any way at all.

22. I was barely 17 when I graduated high school and was probably not quite psychologically ready for freshman year.

23. I love reading, but sometimes start books in the middle of reading others. It gets very confusing sometimes.

24. I taught myself how to ride a bicycle. It was a painful experience.

25. I often wonder how Rachel puts up with me. She is a saint.

  • 09:51 @gnatty I have NOT seen What We Do is Secret! Which is a shame because I have really been looking forward to. Than one and Control. #
  • 09:53 @gnatty River's Edge is an old Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves, Ione Skye and Dennis Hopper movie. tinyurl.com/bt4228 #
  • 09:54 @gnatty I found it very affecting, and I would say it still holds up. Suburbia still gets me every time, even after almost 25 years! #

  • 08:45 has been awake for a little while. Off to get ready, feed and water the children then to the exam. With hope, I'll remember to pay the water #
  • 12:33 has passed his Elementary Education (K-6) certification exam. To say I'm thrilled would be an understatement! #

  • 21:59 is getting annoyed at both the Gmail and Facebook errors he keeps running into. Thought it might be my DNS, but other sites seem to be ok #
  • 22:07 is switching gears and going to watch a little bit of The Tesseract. Am I the only one that liked The Beach? Perhaps I should be concerned #
  • 22:10 @phdbre Agreed. While we'll watch Fringe via TiVo sometime, LOST will be watched live, and the watched again for closer study. #
  • 22:13 is @_@ at the "Site Maintenance" error message from Facebook. Is this a subtle way to inform me to get offline? Subtlety is lost on me #
  • 22:50 bids you peace and good night. At least Twitter and Gmail are working for me, but really I should get some sleep. Woo hoo, three day week! #

Motivation

Is not something that I could ever honestly say that I have been. Ever.

As far back as I can remember, I made no real concerted effort at anything really. This is actually very much against a typical only child personality--from what little bits and pieces I've read about birth order factors. Go me, not wanting to live the stereotype. Woo! I mean, I have a strong sense of duty, to be sure and I am very much a stick with the traditions type of personality--so I'm not totally going against my supposed type. Mine is a fine example of a dichotomy in a large number of ways.

Anyway, I've found myself being (perhaps unnecessarily) exceptionally hard on both Abby and Jon. I have to step back, sometimes with prompting, as to why in the world I am that way with them. Perhaps it's a normal parent thing, it certainly isn't me per se. It's not something that I feel came from my mother or step-father. They were many things, but type A personalities was not one of them.

At work, I expect the best from the kids I work with--though I would like to think that I'm not as hard on them as I am with my own.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'll be going with our E Team (Economics Team) and their coach to their first competition. I'm nervous for them and wonder if I've run them through enough drills. We'll see how they do and what we need to work on. I can't wait! If one had told me a year ago that this is what I'd be doing, I'd not have believed them. In fact, hearty laughter may have ensued. My life is a good life.

  • 10:22 @SatiricPacifist You've already seen Slumdog Millionaire, right? How about The Boy In the Striped Pajamas, though I think that's out on DVD #
  • 10:23 @gnatty Redd's? Thanks for the coconut (I need to check my mail). I'm glad for shows that start their season in January! w00t! #
  • 10:24 @gnatty Albie's lucky he didn't get himself killed. Rachel had somehow recalled that he had those tendencies. #
  • 10:26 thinks his TweetDeck updates are not crossing over. If that's the case, I'll be very disappointed #
  • 10:32 is ^_^ at SciFi's Star Trek: Enterprise marathon today--no, I've not forgotten what today celebrates...ok, now on to homework #
  • 11:31 cannot find the lyrics to the Railway Children's song Consider. I suppose I'll just have to queue it up on the iPod. GIS = fail (too)... #
  • 11:34 RT @theledger: Man Dies in Retirement Center Fight tinyurl.com/8xjfux (did not expect to read this a moment ago #
  • 11:38 is thinking, "Oh sure, NOW TweetDeck decides it wants to push a tweet across to Facebook!" Now, which law applies to this situation? Hmmm #
  • 12:43 has no answers for Jonothan as to why the dish ran off with the spoon. My mind is on Bloom's Taxonomy & ESOL/ELL students. Any suggestions? #
  • 13:03 @TeachaKidd I vote for Chicken Cacciatore! #
  • 16:29 did not know this: RT @MikeVallely: Mike V In The #1 Movie In America: mikevallely.com/?p=913 #
  • 17:08 @wilw I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots that my tongue has tied off. Yeah, I now have to queue some up... #
  • 19:26 is listening Ben Folds' Brick. It's amazing how much it still holds up and perhaps even that much more affecting to me now #
  • 20:29 @gnatty Yea! That is really funny. #
  • 21:29 is back to working on homework. Blah #
  • 21:44 @wilw Any joy yet? I found this (if it helps) tinyurl.com/7ca4my Could also be a media prob #
  • 23:01 is about ready to call it a night. Worried about an exam tomorrow--so your thoughts are appreciated. #

  • 13:43 is at Upwards basketball. I believe I chose poorly by wearing shorts. Good thing I'm not picking any grails today #
  • 15:37 @gnatty I got a cherry, peaches, but I didn't see any coconuts. I'll check again. I wonder if that's what the post office means by fail #
  • 16:00 is giving very serious thought to head over to a friends house to game for a bit. Imagine that, gaming on the weekend! #
  • 21:20 @gnatty Woo hoo! My wife is going to be thrilled when she gets home. I'm glad I checked the info before canceling the recording #
  • 22:59 is now caught up (finally!) with Battlestar Galactica. This show will be missed when it's done. #

And now, Daily Twitterings

  • 11:12 has vacuumed, cleaned the hamster cage, washed the few dishes left in the sink and played a little bit of Guitar Hero. On to something else #
  • 11:31 just read that Brent Spiner likes iCarly. #
  • 11:47 is going to have to watch BSG and see who the final Cylon is. No one else is saying--at least that I've found yet. #
  • 14:58 @sandbar17 Thanks for the tip. At this point, most of my meatspace friends know that I am pretty much the spoiler master. Sad, I know. #
  • 15:00 is testing out Brent Spiner's recommendation... #
  • 15:05 did not know there were "rules" to Tweeting, and here I'd just been using it in whatever way I felt like. Rules, huh? #
  • 15:19 @gnatty Hey, thanks for all the fruit. I've sent you two oranges, if you need more let me know. My pear tree sprouted fruit, woo! #
  • 15:22 thinks UTI is just an unfortunate acronym to have selected for one's "school." Poor, poor students. Hm, should I put quotes around that too? #
  • 15:31 wonders what took him so long to try TweetDeck out. Intimidation, perhaps? I can totally see what's to like. #
  • 18:21 @gnatty Cool, I may do that. Abby and Rachel are away at a Scouts event. It's just Jon and I and I get a feeling he'll be out shortly. #
  • 18:27 @BrentSpiner No, but if curious enough, they can find out the question. It adds a nice Jeopardy! feel to things, w/o a smug Trebek 'tude #
  • 18:29 @chrispirillo Orville Redenbacher FTW! #
  • 18:31 @gnatty I'd also like to be someone w/o a frame of reference reading this convo. I'm sure it'd be confusing to them. #
  • 18:32 @Mia Be sure not to settle for the not quite as effective Methadone flakes. Not that I would know from experience, but you know... #
  • 18:40 @gnatty Wild World...that's the DS one, right? Nope, I have given serious thought to getting it...but I'm not sure... #
  • 01:19 @gnatty I fail again! I haven't even seen coconuts yet. I did enter the fishing contest and won an office chair. :) #
