It's the anniversary of the birth of Charles Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll. Thursday..Jan 27 2005 | 06:20pm `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!" He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought -- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. That was of course Jabberwocky, and my absolutely favorite piece. I can't do any better than the man himself, so yes, that's my contribution to.... Rabbit Hole day!

Mona Lisa smile Wednesday..Jan 19 2005 | 10:11am I'm reading the best book! Yeah I'm probably a little late in the game but I just started it. The DaVinci Code. It's smart, well written, and a page turner! Conspiracy theory fans will love it as well as those who like a good thrilling mystery. Yes there's been alot of criticism as well, but it's a work of fiction, and should be taken as such, not as historical fact although there is some of that in there. I just came across an illustrated edition, too. Movie to follow (currently in pre production) next year with Tom Hanks as Langdon. Anyway, go read it if you haven't! I recommend it! If you have read it, there's a good write up on Wikipedia about it... I didn't read too much though since I didn't want any spoilers.

Yay it's back! Sunday..Jan 16 2005 | 12:22am LJ is baaaaack! ::clings:: Work today. Majorly large warehouse delivery came today, almost 900 pieces. The trucks should be getting under control again once the new manager's orders start kicking in. Our manager who just quit went crazy ordering off the group sheets and so we have so much distribution our stockroom is almost bursting. UGH. And I'm off for the next four days. Yay for mini vacations! I kinda need one. I'm so burned out it's been so crazy and non stop since Thanksgiving. Other random brain dumpage: * I ♥ John Lennon Acoustic! I've been getting into guitar, and my cousin has been teaching me how to play. This comes with chords in the CD booklet and everything! Not to mention to listen to it's awesome. Woo Hoo for learning new songs to play though!! I'm finally beginning to master (I think) "Blackbird" aside from this, which is loverly to play. It was the first tune Sarah taught me. * I am addicted to "The Surreal Life". Yes, you heard me. Addicted. Only the first show of this new season and already it's... OMG. Where else would you get Chris (Peter Brady) Knight, Verne (Mini Me) Troyer, Chynna Doll (wrestler, VERY strange person by the way), Jane Wiedlin (Go Go's), Da Brat (rapper), and two beautiful models (Adrianne Curry "America's Next Top Model" and Marcus Shenkenberg "Mr. Calvin Klein")in one house? Mini Me drunk. Pissing in the corner. Naked! The cast eating Sushi (on some well placed leaves) off of Adrianne Curry's nakedness! Jane and Adrianne skinny dipping (more nakedness!) I have never seen a cast so... loving nakedness! And I thought it was crazy with Brigitte Nielsen running around like that last season! Woah. LOL!! And normally, folks? I don't like alot of reality TV so go figure. * I should get to bed. Sleepy. Long day. <3 [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | None. ] | 3 Changed the world | You say you want a revolution... |

By the way, the one remaining there is a quote from Corky St.Clair (Christopher Guest) from "Waiting For Guffman". I love all of Guest's "mockumentaries" dearly. You all did really well!

::gigglesnort:: Monday..Jan 03 2005 | 11:08am Just came to my attention via a forum I frequent... Marie Osmond - Paper Roses 1960... Hey wow, I didn't know she was a freakin' child prodigy! Imagine cutting an album, and having... so much... hair... at a year old! ::gobsmacked:: Note. Ehm... dude? Marie cut that album in 1973 at age fourteen, 'kay ?

Just stuff and random brain dumpage. Thursday..Dec 30 2004 | 05:36pm Warning. I'm still kinda crabby at the moment. One of those days. I need to let off some steam, so bear with me. [[work rant ahead!]] Today was the day from retail hell. People were crazy, the store when I left this afternoon looked like a disaster area, and of course there isn't much help on staff tonight as usual. Tomorrow I'm in at 7am for a 900 piece warehouse delivery, 500 some odd pieces of it being distribution which I have a feeling will be mostly Valentines day with *maybe* a little Easter filtering in there too. **rubs temples** And Polly won't be partying on New Years Eve. No. Polly has to work all day New Years Day so yeah. Beddy bye prolly by midnight so that I can get the freak up in the morning. BOO. HISS. Speaking of work, I hate the Photo Lab. Yes, you heard me. I only relieved Marie in there for half an hour today and that was enough. She was mega busy in there today, and backed up and still even though you explain it to people and tell them when they can expect their pictures to be processed, they bitch and moan. "But it says ONE HOUR!" UGH. Yeah it does. On a day when it's not so blasted BUSY, okay? It's not always exactly an hour. If we're backed up you're looking at more time. And we were way backed up today since there were a bajillion Next Day orders in the queue from the previous evening. I so wish they'd change the sign to SAME DAY SERVICE instead of ONE HOUR. It's misleading and just causes me headaches. Most people are cool about it, and don't mind coming back later or even the next day, no rush. But the ones who piss and moan because they want it *stomps* IN AN HOUR!! just irritate the crud out of me. Oh! And they then ask if there's a discount for not getting it in an hour. No... it's same day service same price all the way around. Pick it up tomorrow, and you'll automatically get two sets of prints for $7.99. "NO. I want it TODAY!" Okay, then you're looking at late this afternoon possibly around 5pm. "NO!" Sorry. That's the earliest. **rant. huff. puff. take film. stomp out the door** Good riddance. And why are people so afraid of the Kodak Picture Maker? I swear, lady, it won't blow up on you. You can't do anything wrong it won't let you. The thing has prompts and even VOICE PROMPTS at that. Just follow and listen and there ya go. I can show you once how to use it but I'm not doing your prints on there for you every time you come in. If I'm not busy I can, but this busy? Sorry. Self service machine. All I need to do for you on it is enter the pass code. That's off my chest. I feel a bit better. [[/rant]] Found out that actor Jerry Orbach died of prostate cancer. I liked him on Law and Order, and he was of course in one of my favorite movies, "Dirty Dancing". Very sad. I've had a mild cold the past four days. It's pretty much gone now save for a cough hanging on, but it could have been worse. I called in on Tuesday to rest up one more day and it seemed to do the trick. Lots of sleep, herbal tea, and my medicine and I was good to go. The good news is, I get Tuesday as my "holiday" so I'm still paid to have a third day off. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday this week, so yeah I suppose I can deal. Movies I want to see: Lemony Snicket's The Life Aquatic Meet The Fockers Ocean's Twelve Finding Neverland Yeah, I haven't been to the movies in ages. I'll probably go see something when I'm off. 117,000 now. Unfathomable. You can make a difference. Just by spreading the call for help.
