*Squeal!*

I've got my LiveJournal back! I didn't feel like posting on Friday, no internet all weekend and then yesterday, I couldn't even get to the darn site. So I'm very, very happy to have my LJ back! *g*

Posts of a more substantial and interesting nature will take place later. Right now I just want to bask.

Run! Mood alert!

Actually, it's a giddy, giggly mood. Feeling rather happy. Just ask musesfool. I just went all giddy/giggly on her LiveJournal. *waves at Victoria*

So, gakking all of this from her, cause I'm bored, and avoiding doing anything productive.

Everybody Loves Raymond when I'm in the mood to watch my grandmother in action. Gilmore Girls when they're on a roll. The early days of Whose Line Is It Anyway.

It's a toss up between Amy Sherman-Palladino and Chris Carter.

Gillian Anderson, Lauren Graham, Allison Mack

David Duchovny, Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, Bruce Harwood, Donnie Walberg (don't ask, or better yet, just go to dragonsinger's LiveJournal and look at the Boomtown discussion), and for some reason I've yet to understand, Ice T.

David Caruso (argh!), Kim Delaney (double argh!) and almost anyone NYPD Blue related.

More productive entry coming later. I swear!

Signs of substance...

Soooooo...*g* it's been a while hasn't it. Since I've posted anything of substance. Hee. Well, I'm going to try and remedy that in the next few days. (I think DilloCon killed me for a week. We did tons of substantial talking. I was all used up after that.)

***

First, couple of quick things (or not so quick as I ramble).

I am a very unlucky person. Not unlucky in the sense that bad things always happen to me. No, unlucky in the sense that if there is a good thing - make that a great thing - that is going to happen to anyone, it won't happen to me. For instance, I don't win prizes. Of any sort. (Unless they're merit based, in which case I've won a few. But that's more about skill or brains than luck.) The only prize I've ever won was a T-shirt. Vegas was a bad idea for me because of my unluckiness.

That changed last Thursday night. We did a Scrabble tournament for charity (and no, we didn't win). But there were door prizes. Yay for door prizes.

Me, I won a Goebel figurine. *scowl* They're made by the same folks that do Hummel figurines. *double scowl* Folks, they rate with Precious Moments in my book. Scary, perfect children. They actually frighten me. And to top it all off, one of our clients was the emcee for the night, and he won the other Goebel. So he gave his to me.

Of course our 59-year-old art director won tickets to a water park. *snicker* She was more pissed than me.

But my luck finally changed. Shifted to the good. At the end was a raffle. I had bought tickets, and luckily you could designate which prize you wanted to be entered for (while I love BB King, I'd seen him before, and an autographed picture of Bobby Bowden would have been worse than the Goebels).

So the time comes, and they're drawing names and I win! Two tickets to The Winson (yep, NASCAR) and two tickets to the pole qualifying for The Winston. Total value: $250.

My sister loves me right now. Her fiance is jealous. *g* I'm just giddy.

Feeling the need to reread and rewatch a book/movie. "Enemy Mine" by Barry B. Longyear. Best science fiction I've ever read. That one story has stuck with me for years, and the movie version made me fall in love with Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr.

And for some reason, I really want the comfort of that story of friendship right now. Must bug Dad and see if he still has it.

Okay, it's...way, way late, but I swore I'd get around to it.

Dude!

Because plum_evil shouldn't be alone in DudeLand.

*g*

Guess who just called our offices.

John Schneider.

Okay, so different John Schneider, but still. I was giggly about it for five minutes. Even teased the boss about how he was important since John Schneider called him. Of course this would have been funnier if my boss had ever watched Dukes of Hazzard. Alas, he is from New Jersey and did not watch the Dukes and their escapades.

Oh well. It's funny to me.

My fun for the day has also expanded by leaps and bounds.

I managed to piss of a telemarketer. Hee.

Makes up for yesterday, when a woman called, asked for S., and when I responded that S. was in a meeting, the woman asked if she could hold.

Honey, S. is in a meeting. Holding is futile.

I swear, some people just don't think before opening their mouths.

And no, that was not an invitation to point anything out to me. *g* Everything that comes out of my mouth (through my fingers or whatnot) is gospel truth. Perfectly accurate. Of sound judgement.

Yeah, I'm living in Legolala land.
