The Incoherent Ramblings of the Damned

[tinhuvielartanis]

I really want to stay up and watch Battlestar Galactica tonight, but I also really want to curl up and die as early as possible once I'm allowed to go home and stay there. I know I could tape BSG and watch it tomorrow, but watching it in real time is part of the experience for me. I can't explain it. Battlestar Galactica and Lost are two shows that I would much prefer to see during their air time. Maybe I'll take a nap, get up for BSG, then curl up and die. That may work.

Becky likes ELO. She's 21 and likes ELO. She didn't know who they were, but she'd heard "Evil Woman" before and liked it. For the first half of the day, my young friend was rocking onward to my CD. I'm impressed with her and her taste in music. The fact that she's so young and has just been grooving to Jeff Lynne's tunes threatens to restore a shred of my faith in humanity....just a shred.

The upper portion of my back is having mild muscle spasms. Not so bad that I'm immobilised, but bad enough to take my breath. Being a female of child-bearing years sucks big hairy ox balls. Every month, my body just decides to fall all to hell, my mood is worse than it usually is, and I get weepy. Weepy. Sith don't weep. We kick pooty-tang and laugh about it. We aren't supposed to fucking weep.

To top off my already shit day, the Feudal Mistress gave me a project in rifling through all the POP on a printed list that's about 1.5 inches thick, and figuring out what we can scrap. I did a scrap voucher for all the old New Release catalogs then, with Becky's help, sorted through the POP by label and created an Excel spreadsheet that included the selection number, artist, title, and quantity of each item. It's been a day long task. Only now was I able to forward the list to the offending parties who haven't yet gotten their crap outta here. Now I must wait to hear back from everyone as to what we can toss and what must remain; however, after next Friday, it's no longer my problem. Yay!

My weekend is pretty much planned out. Saturday, I'm sleeping and trying to recover from my heinous state of womanliness. Sunday, I'm mowing grass for the first time in two weeks. Of course, mowing is dependent on whether or not it rains. If it rains, the grass will continue to grow out of control. My front yard looks like Jordy Verrill's in the movie Creepshow and that ain't purdy.

Right now, I'm looking out the window watching a thunderhead literally boil. That's pretty cool.

Pictures? Of the thunderhead, I mean, not of the weepy sith. ;)

oops. sorry about that.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't take through the glass to do any good. :( Sorry.

Several of my friends and I get together every friday and watch Galactica live... I could record it on my dvr and watch it starting 30 minutes or so later sans commericals but it's a ritual to sit through them and one we don't mind for seeing it during the appointed hour.

I really like Lost and think the characters have been developed and their backstories expositioned in quite an excellent manner but I'm not the kind of person that can be led on forever and ever... really need some answers about this island and the tree grabbing monster/cloud of dust and the lumberjacks on the boat and the friggin hatch.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

From what I've heard, the hatch will be explained in the first two episode of season 2. I can't wait.

i used to do that with Babylon 5. 'course, i don't have a tv now, so can't watch BSG as it airs...

i'm very glad i'm over my child-bearing years thing. i HATED that shit. [i'm pretty sure i'm officially over it, since Aunt Flo hasn't visited in over a year...]

Girlfriend, you so lucky!

Sorry about your back. I used to go through those men-type problems until my doctor suggested I take Trivora 21-day continuously, skipping placebos. Which I do. And now, I no longer flow. I don't ovulate any more, either. *smile* This doesn't necessarily mean that I don't still experience PMS, but I believe probably to a much lesser degree. One thing I sure don't miss are the cramps. Man, that was the *worst.*

Anyway, I feel ya. Or at least, DID. So enjoy your shows and know that you're one day closer to it being over.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Cramps are hideous, as you well know. Oy!

I have had class the past 4 fridays till 9ish so I havent been able to see it. I hope I can get home early enough to see it tonight

Every time you mention ELO the lyricosis of my youth runs through my head," Medieval woman..."
Oy.

[chardarkminion.livejournal.com]

I'm 24 and I like ELO. 'Time' is just incredible.

I think there are a lot of young ELO fans out there. In my circle of friends, there are 2 23 year olds who like them too. Don't underestimate the ELOrchestra!

Then, of course, (don't laugh...grrr) there's "Don't Bring Me Down", which just IS the summer between 5th and 6th grade for me.

It was a kickass summer, I might add. In addition to the usual mayhem with my guy friends, I took my first (and certainly most exciting) plane ride, got to stay overnight at the Denver airport, and spent a month in New Mexico and SW Colorado in a cabin with my uncle, aunt, and cousin.

It was a tomboy-dream-come-true kind of summer for me...and my cousin had this ELO album on, gulp, 8-track.

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Ah 8-Track~~~ THOSE were the days!
