Day: Thursday 30 December 2004

  • On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtledoves, and a partridge in a pear tree.

     

    Slowly the TARDIS materializes onto the desk beside me.  All my colour-changing mug needs is a little soundcard!  Too bad that means that the Butterfinger Hot Cocoa is all gone.  I guess I could go make more. 

     

     

    Wonder why I'm cold?  Well, it's still raining.  I was wetter when I arrived for work this morning than when I got home last night.  And, despite packing three sets of clothes so I could have a dry set on the way home (except for a helmet and biking gloves which were still soaked), I was even wetter and colder when I came home tonight than when I got to work this morning.  Hopefully this rain means that we'll be halting the advance of our drought, even if it'll take many more such rains to pull our way out of it.  Before this storm came through we were still over an inch under our annual rainfall average. 

     

    I have a slow drip in the spare room's closest again.  What I really need is a bucket to catch the rain so I can permanently station the bucket there until I can get the roof fixed.  I can't get the roof fixed until I get my guest bathroom fixed.  Luckily, I think I might be able to get that finished fairly soon. 

     

    So let's see.  I've seen quite a few good movies recently.  Bill and I saw Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow on the 29th at SSC Bell Canyon Pavillions.  The next night Rudy, Wayne, and I saw The Incredibles at AMC Desert Ridge 18 after dinner at Barro's Pizza. Then on the 13th Bill, Lando, and I watched The Incredibles again (well, it was their first time) at Harkins North Valley to see the Revenge of the Sith teaser trailer.  Finally, Kitty and Rusty treated Monte and I to Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events at Harkins Christown followed by dinner at JB's as our Christmas gift from them.  When I'm not so busy I might review these fun films.

     

    Wow, where does the time go?  It's time to go to bed yet again.  One of these days I'll feel caught up with my life....No, really!  ;^)

     

    Thanks to Jada for this cute sprite quiz.  On a tangent, why doesn't Sprite use a sprite as its logo or mascot?

    Water Sprite
    Mysterious, elegant, creative and calm

    You are a sprite of the Water.

    Creative and one of the most beautiful of sprites, you strike wonder and curiosity into the hearts and minds of all. Even though you are capable of attraction and seduction you are way above all that, you understand the true meaning of life and are very open and understanding of life's mysteries, most likely you are one of them. You are respectful of all ways of life and do not judge one due to their position or station in life. You are gifted in the ways of understanding and given the chance are usually full of good, wise advice but your not the type to take the stand and express such things. Your laid back nature can be troubling, you don't take many risks and prefer to keep things as they are. You are one of the most unique of sprites.
