| Picspam time! |
[Jul 26th] |
Today was one of those days that are horrible and stressful and long and awful, so to take my mind off all that I started looking around in my pic folders and picked out a bunch of things that made me smile. No rhyme or reason to this other than that. :D
( Around 70 awesome random bandom pictures )

| Antonio's Accent |
[Jul 24th] |
Why does Antonio have a southern accent? I know it's the same actor, but I don't remember him having an accent before. It could be just me. It annoyed me that a guy who is half Mexican and half Irish and grew up up North has a southern accent. I couldn't watch the rest of the show because of that. I really like the actor (he's very cute and a good actor), but you can tone down an accent to make it more neutral(I come from a family of Okie hicks but if need be we can soften the accent where it is hardly noticeable).
Ok, will someone remind me why Antonio was on the Island where he met Sharidan? I thought he had amnesia and didn't know who he was. But that storyline was soo long ago.

I kind of love this article about Leathermouth. (I like to listen to Leathermouth, no lie, but the fact that it's Frank makes me giggle more than I probably otherwise would at that type of music) but Frank's quote at the end? About sometimes just wanting to scream your guts out about setting girls on fire? Totally took me back to Gerard saying sometimes you just have to stick your hand down some dude's shirt, and like, imagining Frank and Gerard having debates about the relative sociological implications of such impulses. IDEK. They'd be all earnest-faced at each other and Mikey would be rolling his eyes in the background.
Eh, I have nothing very interesting to say, so I'll do a lyric meme, snagged from skyfalling. I bent the rules and only used one song by each artist.
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle. Step 2: Post the first two lines from the first 37 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. Step 3: Check off the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly... Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING, and cheating is not allowed! Step 5: If you like the game post your own. Enjoy!
( lyric meme time! )

For my Birthday, The Life Cafe let me sing and dance on the tables and chairs during lunch. I was in my work outfit, and people were at the tables around me. It was silly, but I couldnt resist.

Hubby worked today and, with the kids at school, I was hoping to get a few hours to just do whatever I wanted to do. It wasn't to be *sigh*
First thing this morning I had to go to the bank. I'd ordered new cards for our joint account over a week ago and they turned up both in my name *groans* So I sorted that out and made an appointment to see the bank manager tomorrow - I need to talk to her about how much borrowing power we have at the moment, so I know what to look for when house hunting (there's no point in falling in love with the perfect house if it's out of range).
After that I cooked dinner and did laundry (currently drying in front of the heater) while I played email tag. Then I got a surprise in the mail - a cheque for $100 from HP (they had a discount by redemption offer going when I got my laptop). The surprises didn't stop there: I ordered a new desktop computer from Dell last week and that turned up around lunchtime! I've been putting it together and getting everything updated ever since! Now I just have to decide where it's going to live, get another desk, and another keyboard (the one it came with is horrible).
Tonight I have a meeting at the high school for Mitch. Hopefully this one won't be as mindnumbing as the last *crosses fingers* It's just for the Vocational Training programs for next year, but there are many facets to them, so I hope they separate us, because the last thing I need to sit through is 'how to become a nurse' or 'a teacher's aide'.
The weather has been abhorent! It started raining around ten o'clock and it hasn't stopped, and at times it's been coming down in sheets with nasty winds accompanying it. The last thing I feel like doing is going out tonight, but I have little choice *grumbles*

This week has been a thousand times better than last week already. First of all, the cable company came out way sooner than expected, and as of this morning I have internet again!! \o/
Last night I saw The Dark Knight. OMFG YOU GUYS. That movie was so amazing. ♥ That was pretty much the perfect Joker. JUST SO MUCH LOVE FOR THAT MOVIE, I CAN'T EVEN GO INTO DEEP THOUGHTS ON IT.
I thought I had more to say, but apparently I've forgotten all the awesome stuff I kept thinking I wanted to share with y'all. Hopefully it'll come to me. :)

If I wasn’t so disgusted with the way my boys played on Saturday I might have felt sorry for them at training tonight… but I didn’t *cackles* First up they got an almighty spray (yelling at) from the coach, and then he sent them for ten laps around the entire oval (up and down the hills, up the slide in the playground and down the ladder) – it was painful to watch and they only had thirty minutes to complete their ten laps. After they did that they had twenty flat-start sprints to complete (starting from laying on their stomachs, facing the wrong way).
We had to move training venues again, because the ferals came back on Sunday night and spread glass all over the oval again *smites them* At this stage we don’t know if we’ll be able to use it this week at all and we’re supposed to play there on Saturday! Anyway I was discussing this with our vice captain, who wasn’t training due to injury…
VC: What will happen if they find out who did it?
Me: They’ll be prosecuted.
VC: Really?
Me: Believe me, that’ll be the soft option, because if I got my hands on them, I’d bend them over and shove a fluorescent tube up their arse.
VC: O.O Remind me not to get on your bad side.
Me: *cackles* It’s not a nice place to be.
I just adore this kid. We can actually have a joke without him taking it too far or letting it get out of hand, or we can have a serious conversation without him getting silly, and he’s very respectful of everyone who helps the team. Overall, I have a really good squad, and I have time for all of my boys, but there are some that are just easier to relate to than others :)

I think there’s a big brother in the house who missed his little sisters today. Mitch stopped at the shop on the way home and bought Maddy a small bag of M&Ms. He didn’t miss Tori enough to buy her chocolate, but they’re actually playing nicely for a change O.o Of course, this can change at any given second thanks to rampaging hormones, so I’m enjoying it while it lasts ;P

I took my girls to the city for some shopping today. We didn’t really buy all that much, if you don’t count a trip to Borders – I left there about $100 poorer.
Tori hadn’t been to Borders in the city before. She was so excited. Two stories of just books! It was like Christmas morning for her :)
I don’t think poor Maddy is cut out for city shopping *pats her* She got tired quickly and didn’t really like all the crowds. Though when we were in Myers she felt right at home. Myers is a store similar to Harrods in London (I think everyone knows Harrods) and she fell in love with all the clothes in the little girls’ department. It’s a good thing I’m strong or she’d have come home with a large selection of formal party dresses that cost no less than $100 a piece.
The kids go back to school tomorrow *yay* Well, a little *yay* I’ve really enjoyed these holidays, so I’m a little sad to have them coming to an end, but it will be good to get back into a routine again.
Right now I'm feeling just awful. I think I must have eaten something that hasn't agreed with me *pouts*

Ok well Photoshop just died on me after I had pretty much finished this picture so whatever, I have other things I should be working on. like idk good art? lol anyway, this was inspired partly because of binsybaby's human Wall-E and Eva, and partly because all the human GLaDOSs I've seen are seriously the dumbest thing ever no offense. Actually, yes offense, because human GLaDOS would not be a fucking loli or some other little girl with retarded animu pigtails. SO anyway, here's what I had before.

Saw Dark Knight. Was pretty awesome, no news here. Though what is up with all the Joker fangirling? Like, ok he is amazing, I got you, but EW THE SMACKING NOISE WAS KILLING ME. Oh, but my main problem with the Joker fangirling? WHERE IS THE TWO FACE LOVE?????? TWO FACE!!!!!!! Ok, besides the fact that I have a massive, massive crush on Aaron Eckhart (best smile ever ok thanks), the ugly face was done so well! And I had always liked Two Face in the old cartoon w/ his weird blue face xD. Man I really want to go watch some of the 90s batman cartoon now. MISTAH JAY. EDIT: I guess I should point out that I friggin loved the Joker, I just don't get some of the swooning going on.. xD.
MMMMMMK TF2 performance reports, show me urs
( mine ) MAGETS
I decided that me, my brother and his friends all need to go to A-Kon in Dallas next year and we will dress up and it will be greatness. IIIIII really want to go as Alyx Vance. I COULD TAN A LOT it could work. I swear I know someone who has a brown jacket just like that, and the hair I could either do to my own, because I have always been interested in short hair and I have no problem dying it OR I could just get a wig I guess. HMMMM. In any case, if I don't get tan enough or can't do it, I could easily pull off Mossman. And there's always TF2 characters I could genderbend x).
Oh and rotae yes I have your USB lol.
