Which character from any film, television show, or book would you most like to take on a date and why?

I hate to use the term "date" because that implies romance... and I don't want that, but just to go have lunch or go sightseeing, etc... I'd love to take Ayla from the Earth's Children series.  :)   I'm sure, being a Cro-Magnon woman, she might be a bit freaked out by modern society, but she's a strong character and I'm sure she would be able to cope.   Besides, she's already seen it in spirit visions in the story, so she shouldn't be too shocked, lol.

I'd love to show her how human society has changed, both for the better and for the worse.

Then she and I would go track down Ms. Auel and whine for the next book, lol! 

Hatching!!

These are eggs laid by the chickens I bought this past spring... so far in this hatch, we have one baby chick and two "pips" (eggs that have holes pecked in them but the chicks aren't completely out yet.) 

I'll keep you updated!!  OMG I feel like a chicken grandma, lol!

World of Warcraft Videos

I have to admit I'm shocked that people can make videos using World of Warcraft. The characters have much more limited animations, and I just don't think the whole interface is conducive to movie making. However, I've come across a few good ones and I'd like to share them!

Two Videos behind cut. Hope you enjoy!  )

I hate that Dr. Phil now comes on at 3:00pm vs. 10:00am.

That is all.

Okay, this made me laugh...

It involves the World of Warcraft game... and an apparent nude patch. :P

It's very silly and pointless, but sometimes you just need to watch something like that every now and then. :D

Alaina (who turned 5 in May) :   "Look, Mommy... there's some mushrooms!" 

Me: "Yes, those are mushrooms.  Don't touch them!" 

Alaina: "Why, because frogs jumped on them?"

Me:  "What?"  (thinking, WTF frogs???)

Alaina:  "You know, Mommy... when frogs jump on them, it makes them poison."

Me:  "Oh, is that what does it?"

Alaina:  "Yes.  But when they're on the pizza, the frogs can't jump on them, so we can eat those."  

Me:  "Oh."

I walked into the kitchen to find my 4 year old literally with her hand in the cookie jar.  She saw me looking at her with my "Mom" look, and proceeded to calmly keep rooting in the cookie jar for her prize.

Smiling impishly, she then said, "Mom, this is called stealing." 


:D

Ugh... irritable

I don't know what's with me today.  I am so irritable.  Everything is getting on my nerves, and that's really not like me. 

I just checked the calendar, and Aunt Flo isn't supposed to arrive for another week, so it's not even that.  

I don't get it.

Meh... I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight.   :(

Chickens are funny. :D

Now that my chickens are nearly mature, all kinds of "flock behaviors" are starting.

For example, the dominant rooster, Colonel (seen below with some of his "girls") will NOT let the other mature rooster, Rascal, mate with any of the hens. He will literally FLY across the chicken yard to knock him off the hen's back. It's the funniest damn thing I've seen in a long time. :D




Here is Colonel surrounded by some of his harem. :) I think he's so pretty!

What does this Rorschach blot look like to you?


View 548 Answers

I don't know.  What's it *supposed* to look like?  :P

And isn't part of it supposed to be red?  I thought all Rorschach blots had a red area... hmm...

In all seriousness, to me it looks like a crazed mutant fox with four eyes and a tongue sticking out.  Especially because I think the "tongue" is supposed to be red, even though some would view it as a penis... but that's okay, because I guess there's supposed to be a sexual "view" to every Rorschach as well.  XD

We have an egg!!!

I haven't been spending *all* my time playing WoW, lol...  I've been doing business-type stuff too... and it has me about ready to pull my hair out.  I need help.  I'm not sure a regular realtor would do what I need, but they might. Let me explain...

I want to cheat!!!

I really do commend Blizzard Entertainment for not tolerating hacking/cheating into the WoW game.  Really, I do. 

But dang it... this is just taking so LONG.  :(    It's frustrating!

I've found a few cheats online... things like stats changers and stuff... but I'm afraid to use them because cheating is against the TOS, and they can disable your account.  That would make my husband and kids VERY angry, lol. 

Uggggghhhh... *repeatedly bangs head on computer*  I don't want much... just a level 20.  Just a 20 so I can get some decent armor so I won't be dying all the time.  I spend a good third (if not more!) of my gaming time as a ghost running to find my corpse.

And never, never die in Stormwind City because the graveyard is just too damn far away.

We didn't get any rain yesterday and they had been building it up alllll week and then *poof*... it all disappeared.  Yes, Illinois and Indiana got some good rain, but it pissed out just as it arrived in Ohio.  Bleh.

So that's kind of a bummer.  But we have another chance for it coming in Friday I guess. We really need it now, because the corn is tasselling and the rain will pollinate it, making the ears nice and full.  The wind does some pollination but it's mostly designed to pollinate from rain.  So rain in the next week would be most helpful.  *shakes rain stick* 

In other news, I still fail most heinously at WoW.   Couldn't figure out why I was dying left and right until my husband came along and pointed out that all of my "armor" (I use the term loosely here) was at zero durability... and, not only that, my staff was broken and I was fighting with my bare hands when my magic ran dry.  O_o   Ugh.  

And in other other news, yes I did go looking for the nudie pictures of Daniel Radcliffe floating around the internet.   I AM NOT ASHAMED.
 

WoW hates me.

I did finally manage to get up to Level 3 with my new (human) character.  I did this by killing wolves.  Yet now I'm... somewhere... and I keep getting attacked and killed literally every time I turn around.  It's like I don't even get time to regenerate before I get killed again.  :(

I know I'm missing something... like oh, I don't know... how to BLOCK... but dang if I can figure out what buttons to push to avoid getting killed. 

Meh.

I tried World of Warcraft and...

I AM SO AWESOME IT HURTS.

My husband is downloading a WoW free trial right now!  (Well, right now he's in the bathroom, but the WoW is downloading, lol) 

His username is bmogummy1. 

I'm strangely excited about this.  :D
