Ninjababe's Ramble

Dancing Fool!

I have a new favorite song!

Dragostea din tei by O-Zone.

Ith introduced me to the joy of this song, which is a Romanian pop song.

So, of course, I had to share it with my friends in the bookkeeping department at work. Myself and one other decided to get up and dance to this while it was playing.

Then, because one of the women in the department was new, we had to share the football badgers. During the animation, my dancing partner and I did the arm movements and chanted along. And, we couldn't forget Magical Trevor! Love the beans...

The man who does those is a genius. I should've added his CD or DVD to my wishlist for Christmas!

I'll just have to buy one or the other for myself...

Office Gift

I just opened my Christmas gift from K.

It's a Happy Bunny office sign book.

It has different pages with signs you put on your desk. Such as "Fire me", "I
love everybody but you pinheads", "Let's focus on me".

Currently, it's sitting in the window that divides the compounding lab and the
hall with "Plotting revenge is fun" facing so anyone walking by can see it.

It's so me! It's so cool!

Avast! Ho ho ho!

It seems Captian Jack Sparrow has started a blog!

And, tomorrow be Christmas Eve. Aye! Time for some swag!

[thwaps self uspide head]

Sorry... got carried away.

Anyway...

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Today is Christmas Eve Eve. Two days from now is Christmas Day. Which I work.

Oh, I wish my company gave paid holidays.

And, since Starbucks will be closed as well, I don't get coffee! [wail!]

On a good note, at the company Christmas party, they gave away little envelopes. Two per employee.

There were gift certificates in them. From all over creation. Target, Red Lobster, Blockbuster, Starbucks, Old Navy, Home Depot were just a few.

In one envelope, I had $50 at Red Lobster. In the other, $30 at Blockbusters. I don't go to either.

So, as the boss gave us permission to trade, I did. I went cruising through the tables to find a good deal. Before I even left my table, someone was willing to trade my Red Lobster card for a $50 Starbucks. Cha-ching!!

Then, I was able to swap my Blockbuster card for another Starbucks card (Along the way, I falicitated a trade of Target for a Starbucks card). Now, I didn't think I really needed $100 in Starbucks money. So, I went off to find someone else to trade with. One of the pharmacists decided he wanted to give a $50 Starbucks card to someone for Christmas. So, he gave me $50 for my card.

I was happy. I ended up with money for Starbucks and cash.

Of course, the stomache flu I had for the next three days dampered my spirit. [pout] (And, here I was thinking it was the first hangover in my life, even though I didn't drink enough!!)

Junior's New Looks!

Well, Junior got some clothes from his godmother.

First, there's fancy Junior:

(Which, he will be wearing on New Years Eve...)

And, Santa Junior:

He's just so damn cute!

LotR: The Sequel!

You saw him as a great eye in Return of the King... Now, he's back, he's better, he's mobile!

It's Sauron!

On a pogo stick!

Yes, he is no longer bound on top of the black, pointy tower of doom (tm).

An Ithildin Studio Production

Ninjababe, Executive Writer

---

[Scene opens with Frodo and Sam over emoting on the slope of Mt. FluffnStuff, as Mt. Doom is closed for chimney sweeping]

Frodo: Oh, Sam.

Sam: Mr. Frodo, sir... [pauses, looks around, cutely discombobulated] What is that boingy noise?

[Sauron, a giant flaming eye, bounces up the slope of Mt. FluffnStuff. As he gets closer, it's apparent he's riding a small pogo stick. Obviously an ACME product if it can hold the weight of a giant flaming eye]

Sauron: 'Ello, my good chaps! Fine day, innit?

Frodo: AAAAAAA! It's Sauron!

Sam: But, he's on a pogo stick! And has a bad English accent. Its... It's...

Frodo: What? Awful? Disgusting? Terrifying?

Sam: No... It's... well... cute!

Sauron: 'Oo's a lovely hobbitses, then? Yes it is, gov'n'er. 'Ere, 'ave an apple. Barbossa dropped them off for me.

Sam: Apple? Where?

Sauron: Oh, bother. I forgot. I 'ave no arms. Therefore, I can' carry apples. Sorry, chap.

[Frodo looks glazed]

Sam: Mr Frodo? What's wrong. Is the ring calling?

Frodo: [nods and mutters] Starbucks. Must have a latte. Starbucks. Must have a latte.

[scene fades to black as writer needs alcohol to stop the progression of this scene into something silly.]

===

And, that was written while 100% sober!!!!

Idea was Ith's, based this 'quote':

"Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth!"
"He can't... He's an eye on a stick."

Writing was from my demented little brain.

New addition to my Stitch collection

I went to get new glasses today, and saw something in the Disney store that I had to have. Snow Stitch!!!!

Isn't he adorable?!

Blind as a Bat...

I went to the eye doctor today.

My vision is officially 20/600.

What a person with perfect vision can see 600 feet away, I can see 20 feet away.

Legally blind is 20/200. But, as my eyesight can be corrected with glasses, I don't get any federal tax breaks for my vision. [pout]

If I were to take my glasses off now, anything farther than four inches from my face would be a blur.

Holiday Season

It's officially the holiday season at work?

I know this not because I'm wearing my santa baseball cap.

Not because everyone is humming carols.

I know this because we got our first box of See's Nut's and Chews of the season today.

Last year, we got thirteen boxes.

Let's see if we can't break that.

Of course, I tore down the stairs so I could get the two pieces in the box I like the best. The scotchmallow:

Chocolate, honey, marshmallow, and carmel. Yummy!

There's two in every two pound box. I have two. Soon, I will have more.

Bwahahahahaha!

You never know...

I probably won't get any referrals, but you never know.

I'm a big neopet player, and I'm inviting my readers to join in.

Yeah, it's a bunch of online 'pets', but, hell, you give it some food once a day
(The daily slice of free omlette will give your pet three meals!), and that's
basically all you need to keep it from dying.

Then, there's the bank where you can collect daily interest.

A Daily lottery.

Instant win scratch cards you can get every six hours.

You can build a house for your neopet.

Game wheels you can spin daily, every two hours, every hour.

Games galore you can play. Shoot-em-ups, blackjack (with a twist), puzzle games a la tetris,
and others. All of which, give you neopoints (the neopets version of money) for
playing.

You can go on quests for items on the site, fight other neopets in the
battledome.

It's very fun, and very addicting.

And, yes, you do get virtual prizes for referring people.

(Some of the links above won't work unless you're a member)

Today...

Today, in the year mumble mumble, I, the great and glorious Ninjababe, was born unto this Earth.

The skies rejoiced.

The earth trembled.

Dogs walked on two legs.

Flowers bloomed in the snow.

Humans had heart attacks due to the paroxysms of joy.

Birds flew backwards.

And...

...There was much rejoicing.

As this is a most festive date, all those who read this post must send me money.

Or, in the next ten minutes, your computer will melt.

Theme Music

Via Ith, Snooze - Button - Dreams asks what would your blog's theme music be?

For moi, I keep vacillating between Swords Crossed from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack, and Reels on Fire by Tempest.

But, the theme music of my life is the Imperial March.

One of my lifetime dreams is to have this body builder, really buff, following me around in a pair of tight jeans, loafers, and a muscle t-shirt. He'd be carrying this huge boom box. It would play the Imperial March on a continuous loop.

Sometimes, when I dream, I'm wearing a cape that's really snappy when I stride around...

Wench! MORE RUM!

Ith wanted a rusty nail, and we were short on scotch.

So, she sent me off to the liquor store down the street.

They had Sailor Jerry Rum. I first heard of Sailor Jerry rum on Thanksgiving when the waiter at the resturant I was at suggested it as a popular after dinner drink. (We weren't able to get any, they were out that night. Rat Bastards!)

Yes, I had to buy some.

It's very sweet. Has a caramel taste to it. I like it. Ith thought it was a bit strong...

It's 92% proof.

It's pretty good... Off to get more!
