Return of “The Thing.”

Sunday, Bobby and I are going to see John Carpenter’s The Thing from 1982. I’m actually looking forward to it. The Castro Theatre is hosting a double showing of the 1950’s original and the 1980’s one. I never cared for the original as much.

For it’s time, it had cutting edge special effects. The scene where the decapitated head turns into a roaming spider rocked! Unlike a lot of today’s flash/bang flicks, it had a well developed plot as well.

Pictures to come I’m sure.

Blog Stuff

Yeah, I’m bored at work..can ya tell w/all the random blog posts?

I’ve been tinkering w/the blog. I added a music link but I’m not liking it. It will probably disappear. I definitely like the 3 column style template though. I also managed to fix all the links messed up during the import from Blogger. I blogged a while back about fixing’em so I finally finished. However, some of the posts w/pics are still throwing the columns off in IE. I don’t use IE so I can’t be bothered to worry about it for now. (*now’s a good a time as any to switch to firefox*)

I’m also thinking of adding a work-out tips section. I get a lot of requests for info on tribe regarding working out and nutrition so why not offer it here too.

Speaking of blogs, sp@mmers have been working overtime as of late. I delete about 10-15 bogus messages from the queue on a regular basis now. God bless WordPress for having a message moderation function. A lot of the free online blogging sites are getting hit big time. I actually had to go back into my old blog links on blogger.com and disable comments. Doesn’t affect traffic here at all but it effectively put an end to the constant junk emails. hehehe Score one for the good guys!

Ahhh…

I’m working a same day trade today. That just means I came in late and I’m off at 11pm instead of the normal 9. I got to go out and play last night. Yes, I was bad….very! Moving on…

So, it looks like Wilma is gonna blow herself out, so to speak. By the time she hits Florida, she’ll be a category 3 or less. That is very good news as I was very unhappy about the prospect of cancelling a second trip. I know a lot of people are still suffering so I’m not making light of it.

I’m on fire side today so work is blissfully quiet. I’m hoping it stays that way for the rest of watch.

Crap

Can’t think of any other way to describe it. Today has been a shitty day. Lots of bad calls at work today. Nothing catastrophic but just senseless violence and senseless stupidity.

Some bright news, I was working channel when an 852 (car vandalism) suspect got detained. I love it when we catch these guys. Frelling thugs just breaking into vehicles looking to steal stuff to sell for drug money. I wish we had tougher laws here to deal with’em. Guess I’m just too progressive for SF at times. *g*

I’m a tad more confident about my vacation. I think by the time Wilma does hit Florida it will be down to a Category 3 which they are so used too there. NO biggie. Some wind damage, trees down, blah blah blah. Some good news I hope. *crossed fingers*

Not sure why I’m in such a pissy mood today. Maybe tomorrow…

800

So crazy lady that threw her kids into the ocean plead not guilty today. It is times like this I just hate our justice system. Her lawyer will probably try to get her off w/an insanity plea. I just don’t have compassion for someone who murders innocent little children, crazy or not. I think they should throw her ass off in the water and say “sink or swim bitch!”

Course, that’s just me.

Bad News

We are still searching for the babies. In case you missed it, a psychotic female threw her 3 children into the bay last night. She was having some sort of mental break and stated she heard voices telling her to feed her kids to the sharks. The fire boats, coast guard, and other agencies are working together to search for the other two children not found. Sadly, they are presumed dead by this point. The bay water is very cold on the west coast.

And they freaking worry about ME adopting kids. . . Pathetic!

Not Again

Well, looks like I may have to cancel yet another vacation. With the arrival of hurricane Wilma, it is possible my trip to Ft. Lauderdale may be a bust. While I don’t wish it on anyone, I’m hoping it spares Florida, or at least weakens down to a Catagory 3 by the time it hits.

Many people are worse off than I am but, I have so been looking forward to this trip. If I have to cancel this one, I’m just gonna say “screw it” and stay home.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Ramblings. . .

Where did the weekend go? Seems like I just left work.

So tomorrow is my Monday. I’m back at it. I’ve only got 4 days till I’m on vacation. Wahoo!

Class is still going great. I made a 98 on my midterm! I was tickled pink. We lost 4 more students. The midterm was the deciding factor for some. Our class is down to 15 from 31. That said, the 15 left seem to be equally commited as I. I don’t think we’ll lose anymore.

Today, was spent mostly doing errands. Didn’t get much play time in. This blasted flue keeps lingering around. I’m not quiet sick but not back to a 100% either. I did get a good workout in at the gym today. I’ve really been disappointed w/gym schedule and am making a hard effort to get back at it. I also got my 3rd tan in today. I’m finally starting to show some color. I got 2 more to go before I leave.

I got home kinda late and didn’t feel like ordering out so I thought I’d cook something. Course, there was nothing in the fridge. Can I insert here how much I love Whole Foods? Not for everyday shopping as I can’t afford it. However, their meat/seafood section is unriveled. As expected, they had a plethera of meats. Pre-marinated and everything.

So here is my latest creation.
Chef Moby Strikes Again!
Chef Moby Strikes Again!

Not much else to report. Just dinner and a movie to finish off the evening.

Ooops!

I should learn to check my own schedule. I was scheduled to lecture an acadamy class today. Needless to say, I arrived late. All done now. It is a beautiful day here in the city and suprisingly warm. I’m off to the Castro to oggle at boys and catch up on my tan!
