Printers are too slow...
And I'm chained to my desk waiting for some !@#$# thing to print...
The weekend looks to be interesting, though very little of it will be spent on A&S stuff. That's ok, I'm not entering pentathlon anyway. I'm just going to do royal baker, and display a bit... Tonight I'm going to Cody's Chinese Bistro, with Shelly and some other people I don't know - that's ok, last GNO was fun, this should be too...just can't have TOO much fun, as I'm driving. Tomorrow, I think we're going to go tour UNC's rare book library, and maybe go see a movie - I'd like to see Triplets of Belleville, it sounds just kooky enough to be good. I will NOT, however, see Miracle or The Passion, for very different reasons (though oddly enough they're both movies that try way too hard to be inspirational -shrug- go figure - maybe I'm too much of a cynic). And Sunday is string thing, while Nick goes to fighter practice... yay, though I keep saying I'm going to go watch him fight sometime, and still haven't.
So, to kill some time as I'm COMPLETELY unmotivated to work...

Daily-Show Style Questions
Daily Show Style: (Rules: no google or other web searching, or any
outside help at all. This is just you and your wit...)
1. Salmon, or Tuna? 2. Name 5 brands of women's razors. 3. Ok, Geography:
name the Island that's at the South tip of Australia. 4. Not New Castle,
but the other town in England that produces great booze... 5. Fill in the
blank; "Slide over here, and give me a [blank]"
1.Tuna
2. Are there 5 brands? Let's see... Gillette, Noxzema, Daisy, Bic, Schick (spelled wrong, but you're the LAST person to call me on spelling)
3. Tasmania
4. Portsmouth
5. Moment
And of course, I still oweimmortaleve some answers.
1. What difference has 'marriage' made in your life the past year? (Happy
Anniversary, btw, even though I'm still bitter that there was no
wedding/bachelorette party).
As far as daily life? None, really... we're still the same as we always have been. It's nice being able to call him husband instead of fiance, mostly b/c I don't notice the absence of sparkly things on my ring finger then, not to mention it was always odd being asked "when's the date" when we didn't have one. Also, I think people take us a bit more seriously as a couple then they used to... but really not a huge thing.
2. What was the most randomly erotic book you've ever read? (As in, one
that others might not think was that erotic, but that you oddly found er,
um, enticing)
Kushiel's Dart. It's actually a book a lot of people find sexy as hell, it just kind of surprised me that I did because it's, hmm, well, a bit kinkier than I thought I would appreciate "in that way". Stilll.... yumminess (and a damn cool tattoo I'm thinking about getting...something like this http://www.jacquelinecarey.com/whatsnew.html - look at the fan art drawing, not the people with the bad tattoos along the left side. Not QUITE the perfect rose, but close...)
3. How would you describe the color blue to a person who had been blind
from birth?
Blue is the color of water, of peace, of the sky. And it looks like all of these things... imagine how a calm ocean feels lapping at your toes, and that's how blue looks.
4. If you had a chia pet shaped like a llama, what would you name it?
I probably woudn't name it, as I have a black thumb, and all green things, (I'm assuming including chia pets, though i have never had one so I may be wrong) die when I take care of them (I'm good w/ cats b/c they meow when they need food and water)... so I wouldn't name it b/c I wouldn't want to get attached to it...
5. If you could go back in time and change/prevent something, what would
it be?
I SO wouldn't even touch that one with a 10 foot pole - I've read too too much sci-fi, and no matter HOW well meaning the person is, that just always turns out badly.
Also from boredom, I took a quiz that purported to choose a book that matched my personality...
It's a bit perplexing...
Does that REALLY suit me? anyone care to comment? Just to clarify, I have no abnormal interests in ANYONE underage...
And last but not least, LJ style questions
1. You're president of the US toward the end of WW2 and they hand you the
button to nuke Japan. Do you drop the bomb?
No. If I killed that many people, I couldn't live w/ myself and would probably go insane or something. That's one of the reasons I really would NEVER want to be president, b/c there are situations where bad things have to be done, and it requires someone stronger than I to do it.
2. Ok, assuming re-incarnation works, how would you explain that more
people are alive today than have ever lived before?
My postulate is and always has been that there's no reason to assume souls can neither be created or destroyed... cosmic sex, sounds like it could work to me.
3. What are you questing for?
Chocolate. No, really, my quest is for the perfect fabric and the perfect feast... and maybe the tackiest hat.
4. Which super hero power would you most like? What would be your fatal
flaw?
The ability to know what people are thinking, flat out. I wanna be Deanna Troi...
And my fatal flaw, at that point, would be too much empathy with the bad guys - thus I would never get around to actually, like, stopping them...or maybe that would just fall under laziness...(that's my real life fatal flaw, so why would it change with superpowers?)
5. What do you see when you close your eyes?
Is this a literal or a philosophical question? Either way, I think you just want the ego boost - b/c you know perfectly well I think about you a very large portion of the time...

You're Lolita!
by Vladimir Nabokov
Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with
sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every
way, though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not sure what causes
this desire. Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and
probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real.
Please stay away from children.

at the Blue Pyramid.
