Friday!

[shadesong]

Administration
Happy early birthday to maltor!

Hello to new readers dalbino83, missakins, and sarazane13, and returning reader songwind!

Medical
More bitchslap of exhaustion (I went to bed at 8:30 last night), concentration floopy, coordination problem, nausea.

Musical
Dude, cyber_pagan, pick two of those eight songs to use on my birthday mix, because I'm not letting you use all eight and dominate the thing. :P

Otherwise, everything is downloaded, and I can stick it all on my iPod and post a tracklisting later this afternoon, probably...

Glenn School Sale
I was far too spoonless to hit the pre-sale, so Adam - yendi - hit it, and did an excellent job, getting Elayna some wonderful dresses and a few cool toys. And one for us - Scene It. Game Night at our house!

Adam
Adam doesn't mind a bit that I refer to him here as Adam; his only concern is that new readers may not know that he has an LJ. He does. He is yendi. He is way cooler and funnier than me, and you should read him. :)


Wearing
Grey twinset, jeans, Supergirl socks, Supergirl panties.

Reading
Just finished Gridlinked, by Neal Asher, and enjoyed it so much that I went downstairs and wishlisted all his other stuff. Currently reading Bite, a silly vampire compilation with stuff by Laurell K. Hamilton and Charlaine Harris, because it was the lightest thing on my to-read shelf and I just needed something to read with breakfast! Next up will be the screenplay of Nightspeeder, by Emma Bull and Will Shetterly.

Planning
Cleaning. Cleaning. Cleaning.
Cookie pickup.
Party!
Sleep.

You?

I thought "Gridlinked" was great! His other books that I've been able to find are pretty good. "The Line of Polity" is set not long after Gridlinked. "Skinner" is set in the same universe but not really with any overlapping characters.

(And oh, a slim chance I'll be in Boston when you are. If I am, I'll take orders for Australian goodies for your party...)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Oh, please do try to be in Boston! That would be great. :) I don't know what kind of goodies Australia has, though.....

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

they have these chocolate cookie things that are SO GOOD. I think they start with an N.... or something. So good. And they have cadbury's.

[australian-joe.livejournal.com]

The way my travel plans work, I rarely have everything confirmed very far in advance. But yes, one idea has me in Boston for the last week of April.

For goodies... what do you like as treats? What are your dietary restrictions? My usual bag of treats involves chocolate cookies of various types, but I can also do Australian Nutella (not the same as American Nutella, because we use cane sugar rather than corn syrup; this is generally the case for anywhere American food uses corn syrup), etc.

If you're familiar with British treats, anything they have we probably do, too, in case there are specific (say) Cadbury's lines you know you like. Violet Crumbles (honeycomb in milk choc, not Cadbury's), etc etc etc?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Honeycomb in chocolate? *perk* Oh, yes, please. I had honeycomb in dark chocolate, and it was the best ever. (In general, I prefer dark to milk, as milk chocolate just tastes a bit waxy by comparison.)

No Nutella, as nuts = nasty, but thank you!

Supergirl never wore panties!.....She went commando (or commandess if your not pc)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

She did so wear panties! Supergirl wasn't a ho. :P

[thspacedhaitian.livejournal.com]

Commando doesn't connotate ho......just easier access-ho-bility

[ringrrl416.livejournal.com]

cookie pick up?

does that mean it's time to pay and what not for my girl scout cookies?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yep! I'll work all that out on Sunday, I s'pose....

[malver.livejournal.com]

Very much appreciated, but my birthday's not until September?? Asher, hrm?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Ach! Maltor, not Malver. Sorry. Mm. Happy VERY early birthday.

[malver.livejournal.com]

And to you (very early for next y.. joking. Does Party refer to this weekend?)

As I said, appreciated; and thanks for clearing that up :)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yep - party = tomorrow. Ice cream cake!

I just have to take a nap tomorrow afternoon.

Good morning!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Mornin'!

[thspacedhaitian.livejournal.com]

Anyone remember the Industrial dance classic
"Harleydavidsonofabitch" ?


just curious

[zeyr.livejournal.com]

yendi != cooler and funnier. As cool and as funny, yes.

He's also on my list of people it would be very neat to meet in person someday...

You're not anymore, because I met you. :D

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I'd like to bring him & Elayna up to Arisia next year...

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

'He is yendi.'

Somehow I hear this as being declaimed dramatically, as in a '70s Saturday-morning cartoon:

'He is...Yendi.'

Or, 'This is my domain, and I protect those who come here. For I am Yendi, succulent breast of good recommendations.' :)

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Sex Viking!!!

Planning?

[hasfartogo.livejournal.com]

I am going to the Other School I volunteer at, come home for dinner, then go out for Otaqu (Queen's University Anime Club) and then plan cleaning for tomorrow morning.

dalbino83 is the bomb-diggity. I've known her since I was a wee undergrad. It is good that she is coming 'round to the Cult of Shadesong. :)

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

She is very awesome. I could have sworn that she'd friended 'Song ages ago. *frown* *checks Joule* Yep, she is not a new reader. She is a returning one. muahahaha!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Huh! She must've been here verra briefly.

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

activate your "long term" Joule thingy, then ctl+f (on firefox anyway...) and search for her name. She was the one who gave me crashspace the friday of Arisia.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I'm a cult? Whee!

There should be T-shirts.

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

Haven't you learned that you don't say "there should be tshirts" when I could possibly see it? There will be tshirts. muahahaha!

[blergeatkitty.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised there aren't already!

I discovered that if you use Veet on your nether regions, it burns...but!!......if you wait it out, it feels nice

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Dude, discovering the comment feature here is like discovering masturbation for you, isn't it? *giggle? I can see the light parting the clouds, the angels singing...

[thspacedhaitian.livejournal.com]

For sure.....
Masturbation has never summoned angels for me...Just napkins (though napkins are white and flowy like angels!!!)

[shellefly.livejournal.com]

You coordinated your Supergirl socks and panties.
*grin*

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I don't have matching sexy clothes, mind you. I own no lingerie. But I can match my Supergirl skivvies.

Jeans, bare feet, purple fleece hooded sweater. Eventually, sandals.
Reading:
Surprisingly, nothing. I'm waiting for some new books to come in (more Richard Feynman, a book I've heard good things about called 'Disability is Natural', and 'The God of Small Things.'
Planning:
Class today. Delivery of desk this afternoon. Somewhere between the two, cleaning up the place so the desk can have a home.

[mgrasso.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to see the mix; it's going to be really interesting to see other people's musical tastes!

[molly-grue.livejournal.com]

I want to let you know that I am sending Elayna two more books....should take about a week to get there. Hopefully, she'll like these much better as these are ever so much better written. And very pagan.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[cyber-pagan.livejournal.com]

8?? I sent 8 songs? dang...I didn't realize. Sometimes I get carried away you know? (but I always escape! ) just pick what you like. I know one was a video. If you really liked the Medieval Baebes I have a couple more videos. I also made a CD to give to you. Its got lots of stuff on it, mostly albums, but I would be happy to make a d of videos as well, in fact I think I will! I may be a little late tomorrow, but I will be there :)

Your current reading so closely mirrors mine that it's scary.
