Shit continues to happen in Wisconsin.

Japan was hit by a massive earthquake a couple hours ago and is now being devastated by tsunamis.

I cannot sleep when this much bad news comes out.

Not that I could sleep well anyways as a matter of course...


Retail therapy planned for tomorrow. Need new jeans. And bras. And underwear. Possibly some patches for my old jeans, see if they can last a little bit longer.

Wasn't kidding when I said local politics had taken over my life and that my time on LJ was mostly being spent elsewhere.

Still, that's awesome and I do feel great for that post having even been made. Because I am sitting here thinking I'm not doing enough.

I get annoyed when people do this to me cause I'm usually the first one gone, but I am going to be making a friends cut in the near future. Mostly because when I was doing some custom friends groups, I just realized I have no idea who some of you are anymore because you never post or comment(as in, no updates/comments/activity in MONTHS). As this is a very personal LJ to me, I do like to know who's reading it.

If you're not posting or commenting(just gotta be one of the two, I only want visible signs of life here) but you're still having a ton of fun reading here, drop me a line and let me know over the next few days.

Good lord. noxika, I seriously hope you're all right. Queensland just cannot catch a fucking break.

Yes, I'm currently getting spanked by one hell of a blizzard which has mostly surprised me by living up to the media hype. I think it's worse at the lakefront, but this is really not pleasant. I might go out and get some pictures when the wind dies down. But it's not months of severe flooding and then a tropical storm that rivals Katrina, it's just a really bad snowstorm. We get them. A few times a year. Most of them aren't quite this massive. Or bad. Usually midwestern snowstorms don't make the news. =P

Jason was told to work from home for tomorrow. I think most of his coworkers live in Janesville and could make it to the office if needed, but he's on help desk and the office line has been routed to his cell phone. He's seriously expecting a snow day, cause if he's telecommuting, most of his company's clients probably aren't gonna be working too hard either. I suspect video games might be a theme tomorrow. Or cheeseball movies.

To go with this post, anyone want a picture?

Yeah, I thought not. I took one anyways. Left-handed. With my slowly tanking DSLR. It was a rather neat trick.
( Being nice to those easily grossed out. My hand with stitches. )

I think I'll at least get a cool scar out of this and I can tell you all about the Battle of the Brownie and though it got in a good one with that stupid knife, I did eventually triumph. Using water. =P

I'm on day 4, and it's still hurting pretty badly. Looking forward to the itching that all stitch wound recipients have told me to expect anytime now at this point. I'm gonna regret saying that one.

Now...does anyone want to go and do my grocery shopping? It's fucking cold and my hand really hates me when I take showers.


Oooh, ooh, thank you for the baby otter gift noxika! I shall treasure it always! ♥

Well so far switching my sleep schedule is not going so well. I'm taking longish staggered naps. I'm awake for about eight to twelve hours, then I go to sleep for about five to six hours. My last nap was at 6pm, woke up at 11pm, so I will most likely be up until Jason has left for work. When I will then go for another long nap, get up at 2pm, be awake until midnight, then sleep...you know, I don't even care much about when I'm going to be awake or asleep next, so I'm honestly not sure why the hell I assume anyone else does.

Christmas was good. I made out with a 2TB external hard drive (knew it!) and a Red Wings long-sleeved T-shirt. They won tonight! I slept through the damn game, but they won! Woohoo! It's the new shirt, it's lucky! Plus it looks good on me. I wear red like a fucking champ. =) Jason got Shawshank Redemption, a new iced tea maker, hopefully one that doesn't leak all over the damn place, the Back to the Future movie set, and Lewis Black's new book. I also bought myself a tea kettle, Sherlock DVD's, and a book with a rather hefty Border's coupon I had. In addition to gifts, we did get a bit extravagant with the food. I seriously spent about four days just cooking, my two days off work, then as soon as my last day was over, I set up the kitchen to cook for Christmas Eve(which, strangely enough, has always been the big meal day in my family rather than Christmas Day). I know a few of you are into cooking and food, so the menu:
( There be lots of food descriptions here, don't come in hungry. )

For this menu, cooking it all alone and in a tiny kitchen, a friend of mine elsewhere on the internets said I should be crowned the Queen Master of Christmas Cooking. Do they make a crown for that? Cause I'd totally wear it. I don't own a chef's hat. =P

I think Boxing Day's supposed to be some sort of shopping day? Yeah. Fuck that. I opted to sit on my ass on the couch being lazy. We watched Jason's new movie set before I went to take another 5 hour nap, woke up to watch today's new Top Gear which was pretty decent, then dusted off my weighted gloves and worked out for 25 minutes. Sweated my ass off and I think my stomach did protest one segment but overall, that felt good.

So...unemployed again. Got two applications sitting here I need to get cracking on...sometime later today. Jason made a run for Qdoba, and I've got some nachos sitting here that are not going down even remotely well. I destroyed two pairs of jeans at my job, so I need to go clothes shopping, something I really don't want to do at all. *sigh* Back to this grind.

Senate has repealed DADT.

About fucking time.

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Movies/TV shows, yes, books, I do buy and re-read my favorites whenever the mood strikes me. My upper limit on movie/TV show rewatches is until I get sick of it. Seriously, do people actually have a set number? I've also been known to replay my favorite video games, and I'm almost 95% an RPG kinda girl.

Waiting impatiently for my Sherlock DVDs to arrive so I can start rewatching those over and over again. =D

I'm fucking starving. Which is great, because before midnight, when I COULD eat, I was feeling really crappy. Got 4 hours of sleep yesterday. Jason woke me up laughing his ass off at Top Gear USA at 8:30, and I was up for over an hour fighting off one hell of a coughing fit. It was not restful at all.

I spent some time decorating my profile. I'm hoping it's not too ugly or seizure-inducing. I wanted some pictures to look at whenever I have to duck over there to manage a community or find something.

Probably going to switch mood themes again in the near future. Just in case you care even a little bit.

Still starving. Also, I'd love a beer. I miss beer.

I AM DRUNK!Q!!!!


Also...holy crap, I"m getting married today! O_O


ETA:

So my night took a turn for the interesting. About 2:50, my soon to be sis in law(who bought ALL my booze for me earlier) called for a ride home. I think I was just BARELY sober enough to do this(Jason was asleep). Just drank down 2 bottles of water, went, and had the bonus of dropping off a hockey player from Saskatchewan that Robbin had picked up. She kinda ditched us earlier cause she wanted to have fun and party in Madison.

Some might say I am doing it wrong. Actually...yeah. I'm getting married in 9 hours and I still haven't slept yet. xD Plus I had to go DD! Yes, granted, I was shitfaced for a bit there.

I got better.

I think I'm gonna go eat something before I attempt sleep.
