7294 - Humpty-dumpty, fiddle-dee-dee.

[scottobear]

Got a call from a corporate headhunter yesterday. Interesting and enlightening. We'll see what that has to offer.

---

The third episode of Dr. Who was nice, too. Not a bad trilogy thus far. Origin/intro, then a far future, then a nice gaslight zombie tale. Added bonus, use of the word Phantasmagoria, Charles Dickens, and Chloroforming people. (Not to mention the foreshadowing of "Bad Wolf", and episode 4)

---

I never got around to calling anyone "Little Cowpoke" the other day.

Moment of Lyric: (TMBG - Hovering Sombrero)

Time is flying like an arrow
And the clock hands go so fast they make the wind blow
And it makes the pages of the calender go flying out the window one by one
'Til a hundred years are on the front lawn
And the old familiar things are mostly all gone
But the old sombrero just keep hovering on
Hovering sombrero hover on

---

It's going to be a busy day at work today... I may come home and take a little nap before heading out to the poorhouse. I'm looking forward to seeing so many local folks. Looks like the mob is going to be medium-large. Some folks can't make it, but sounds like most will.

---

I have to call Kev, Dave, and do refreshers with Dan, Bro, and the Momster. Reconnect with Rachel and Graypumpkin.

---

I want to say something about Andrea Dworkin's death, but

---

I may've drummed up a bit of side business via Belle & Jen. (Belle is delightfully pneumatic, in huxleyan terms, of course. Quite far from an Epsilon)

Popular bands seem to be -

• LeAnn Rimes


• Mindy McCready

Also, bring the Cramps for Mzk.

Headhunter--cool! Unless of course he is an actual headhunter--and then if so stay away from human size pots of boiling water and wear your pith helmet at all times!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I haven't had a hat made of pith in a long time!

I'll have to rely on my fabric woobie-hat.

Also, you never sleep, do you??

[blackhellkat.livejournal.com]

I do sleep.
But a) I've got a huge paper and I've been burning th emidnigt oil
and b) I'm sick so sleeping hurts

But usually I'm an early to bed very early to rise person.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

oh no... well, you drink lots of fluids, and send those sickies packin'!

I hope the paper finishes for you quickly!

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

I have to agree, the third episode of Dr. Who was great. "Zombies" and Victorian England, classic mix. :)

Also, the alien entities mentioned a "time war," so perhaps thats the conflict that has been hinted at that killed off the Time Lords? Its little hints like that which are really pushing up my enjoyment of the new show.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I suspect that there will be one or two other time lords bopping around, too. Can the Master be far off?

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

If the Master doesn't show up at some point, I will be dissapointed.

Who would play him now though? Personally I loved the guy who played the Master's second incarnation... just the right hint of evil. :)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

tough call. Somehow, Brian blesse dor John Rhys-Davies are both a bit too heavy.

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

*Chuckles* Not sure how to reply to that.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I think Rhys-Davies could pull it off.

[eryx-uk.livejournal.com]

Really? John Rhys-Davis doesn't really look or sound the part for me. Perhaps Jason Carter (Marcus Cole from B5 amongst other things) could do the role well. He's English (and we all know how the English make the best villains) and doesn't look too different from the last incarnation of the Master.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

That'd be a good call, too, I think.

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

I remember loving reruns of Dr Who when I was a kid, but I haven't watched for years. There's a new show? I'm so behind the times.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

it's only airing in the UK right now, but you can snag episodes off of the net if you use isohunt or another bittorrent download search engine.

it's a lot of fun so far! I really only wath Dr. Who and Lost these days, with a side order of Kim Possible if it's on in the background.

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

I wonder if I can find it on Limewire?

My current obsession is Grey's Anatomy. I look forward to the MCAT being over, so I can become a couch potato again :-)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

limewire is possible, but make sure you've got a strong antivirus program. actually, be sure you have a strong antivirus program, no matter what.

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

I do! I have McAffee. Or however you spell it. And I dutifully download all the updates.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

good deal. I'd hate for your pc to get sick over a tv show!

by the way, you can very likely download gray's anatomy, too burn 'em to cd if you're a packrat type.

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

Ooooh. Neat :-)

I'd been putting off getting antivirus software- I'd had it for free at school, and $50 seemed like a lot of money- but then I got that IM virus that was going around, which was a bitch to clean up, so I broke down and bought it. Around the same time I did my taxes (January) so I felt very virtuous.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

if you ever need a good free one, check out AVG. it's very solid, and great for folks on a budget.

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

Good to know.

redneck girl

[intrepidite.livejournal.com]

“redneck girl” was song by Bellamy Brothers and writen by them too.

Re: redneck girl

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

ah, thank you. I'll fix that. :D

Re: redneck girl

[mootpoint.livejournal.com]

(...psst. help me, she is making me learn to country dance for a weeding in two weeks...)

Re: redneck girl

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

There is nothing I can do. You're doomed, mate.

You have my sympathies.

*IT'S ELECTRIC*

Agh... I still get flashbacks.

Re: redneck girl

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

Boot, scoot n' boogey? Nice :-)

Re: redneck girl

[mootpoint.livejournal.com]

I am all alone here in my misery aren't I?

...feh

Re: redneck girl

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

The key is that you have to accept that you're going to look like a moron, but also to realize that you will all look like morons together.
That being said, I've never done line dancing. I can shag like nobody's business, though :-)
Hey, that sounded dirty. The North Carolina Shag, y'all. It's better than electric.

Re: redneck girl

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

For a half-second I thought you said Mormon.

Do the LDS folks line dance in utah?

Hmm.. I wonder if I'm going to dance at the poorhouse tonight, come to think of it.

Re: redneck girl

[myid8myego.livejournal.com]

You should. I want to go dancing. I mean, I have no rhythm, but I still like to try.

Re: redneck girl

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Ill probably dance a bit.

Dancing bears are all the rage in mother Russia!

Re: redneck girl

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Well, go with our warmth and support.

*hugs*

At least you'll get good quality time with the wifey!

If you wear a cowboy hat and string tie, I'll have to see a picture.

Re: redneck girl

[mootpoint.livejournal.com]

nosiree.

But we did discuss cowboy boots. She's like half an inch taller than me and let me tell you it feels like a mile.

These are woes you know not of, scotto—and I envy you for it.

Re: redneck girl

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Heaven help any poor zulu girl taller than me... I imagine a nice six-foot gal in 6" heels could balance the scales on me. We could dodge doorjams together!

Re: redneck girl

echo? echo?

Re: redneck girl

*quack quack*

contrary to popular belief, a duck's quack can echo.

Re: redneck girl

[mootpoint.livejournal.com]

And that is how mile high glasses of milk communicate I've heard…

Re: redneck girl

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

someone was just telling me about that!

Re: redneck girl

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

yeah, baby. got to love girls in shorts and boots!

[missv.livejournal.com]

I've been meaning to say something about the late Ms. Dworkin too. But every time I try, I get all "meh, whatever" about it. I used to get into rather heated arguements about her with my other feminist pals. She had a way of polarizing people. (A temp who worked for me actually quit the day after we butted heads about ol' Andrea!) But now I just can't be bothered. I guess I've mellowed in my middle age. (And it helps that she went a bit crazy in recent years....which made all her rabid supporters shut their pieholes pretty much permanently.)

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

I have a similar mindset. I think that what I wrote above is all I'll really say, outside of comments.. :)

[greenelvish.livejournal.com]

I love the rainy day photo from a year ago. All those nifty orbs... I can almost smell the rain.

Hover on, sombrero, hover on...

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

It was lovely.. and it's sprinkling a little now! A nice litle memory. :)

Hooray for TMBG!
