What I did today...

wraithfodder* Mailed a package to
kodiak_bear . She has no idea what's in it, so she'll spend the weekend in suspense, wondering if it's something good, or if she should get out the HAZMAT team. Heh heh :) * It snowed. Yup. I had the day off from work, so lazily slept in til the very late hour of 8:00 a.m., did some planned errands, came home and went, I'll take a nap. A few minutes later, the cat discovered this, pinned me to the bed with his hefty 8 pounds, and I was trapped. When I woke up a couple hours(!) later, went out to get the mail and went, hey, where did this snow come from? Now much, half an inch if that. It'll be gone by tomorrow afternoon. However, the roads are now covered with ice and frozen rain and just a disaster.
* Got poisoned at Pier One. Well, not really poisoned (don't want to get sued). I suffered a reaction to sniffing some of those scented sticks in a jar things (whatever they're called). The cinammon one was nice but I like nah, so didn't buy any. This was last weekend. Anyway, woke up the next day and my nose hurt. The middle of it, like someone had punched me and it was red and a little swollen. Eegads. Anyway, had a regular dr appt for later in the week so figured, I can make it. Took Advil and by today, it was finally down, but got some RhinoCort or whatever. Doc said it was um, er, oh, an adverse reaction or something like that. I should do this to someone in fanfic.... No fun.
* Abused my Dalelk. Yes, I decorated it for Xmas a week or so ago, but something was just lacking. I found more stuff to adorn it with, but will load pictures when I find that perfect thing to stick on top. Oh hmm, I think I know what I'll attach to his head provided I can find a small enough version. Poor Dalek. Fortunately the Dalkek humans-are-abusing-me hotline is down for the holiday vacation ;)
* Found a neat article on the Wall Street Journal about the WGA strike and fans. Yes, fans are mingling with writers. :)
* Plan to stay up WAY late tonight, as Turner Classic Movies is picking up where the SciFi Channel has failed abysmally- it is showing the classic Attack of the Crab Monsters, a glorious gem of B&W horror/mutant radioactive crustaceans flick (in which the Skipper of the Minnow co-stars) that hasn't graced the boob tube in decades. Followed by the equally marvelous Killer Shrews. I mean, dogs in shrew suits and the Sheriff from Dukes of Hazzard (in his young days) make for a rollicking good time. Ends with the Green Slime. Earlier today tripped over the end of Ride the Wild Surf, a sixties teenybopper fype flick about young guys surfing in Hawaii, starring Fabian (who was a teen idol back then) and Tab Hunter (who came out decades later that he was gay). It was a very corny movie, but I remember seeing it when I was a kid and now I know why it appealed to me so much. Hawaii, water, and lots of good looking guys in tight swim trunks. Made up for the dialogue of two macho surfers waiting to catch the waves going "You're an idiot!" "Yeah, sez you!" Oy.I shall confess that I own several records of surfer music from the sixties as well, that stuff was and is still pretty cool. Yeah, the Ventures were neat. Still have their LP and just took a look, gee, I fogot that Bruce Willis made an LP too. Ah, probably belongs on a "Golden Throats" album along with Phillip Michael Thomas (Tubbs from NBC's Miami Vice).

But, Dalek abuse - that's a requirement! I want the jousting Daleks on thingeek.com, but don't have the proper floor space, really, for them here in my abode. Oh well, I do plan on moving next year. :-p

Date: 2007-12-08 11:05 pm (UTC)However, I'm sure they'll show up in S4 at some point - it's not truly DW until they do. ;)
Of course, I am boggling at the news that they're going to be juggling 3 companions on and off in the TARDIS. Thaaaaaaat didn't work way back when in the Peter Davison era - how's RTD going to do it differently this time? :-p

Date: 2007-12-09 02:00 am (UTC)Oh totally non-related - your cat's only 8 lbs? Man, I wish LC was that small at times! Try 3x that! (I've got him on back diet food to bring him down to 17 like the vet wants :p)

Date: 2007-12-09 02:17 am (UTC)LC is lazy for the most part and totally skittish. You'd think that for a cat that's as big as he is, he'd have some back bone, but no. :-p

Date: 2007-12-09 05:13 am (UTC)His biggest thing is sitting, doing the cat loaf thing, in the area right between the kitchen, living room & hallway. He forgets that a) he's black and b) my hallway doesn't have any lights in it, so at like 3 in the morning if either I or my friend are stumbling around in the dark, he's invisible. :-p
So, he yowls and acts like it's our fault for not seeing him when we trip over him - typical cat - it's never his fault. :-p
