Halloween Thought...

Ith just had a thought...

If a spirit is illiterate, can it use a Ouiji board?

And, there are these guys on the Travel Channel using a Ouiji board and the letter picked first was "F"... So, I replied that the next letter would be 'U'... And, it was! Oooooooo!

Bwahahahahahaha!

I have a New Costume!

I'm currently dressed as a witch... From the Harry Potter verse...

Basically, I got tired of wearing the sash and head bandana of my pirate costume.

So, I took the coat, sash, and bandana off. But, I had to put something on, since my black corset has spaghetti straps.

So, Ith told me to put on my black cape. I did, and then clipped the sides behind me. That, and the knife sharpener for my wand, I look like a reject from the Potter-verse...

Coolness.

Now, I just need a costume party...

Grey's Anatomy

So, I'm a fan of the show Grey's Anatomy. I didn't think I would like it, thinking it was yet another medical show.

I was sucked in.

Tonight's episode, a train wreck, blew me away. I actually cried three times in the one episode. It was very powerful, and if 'no-name' guest stars get emmy nominations, the two people with the pole need nominations.

Of course, I hate crying... I'm all stuffy now.

Just... wow... What a great episode.

Loreena McKennitt Moment

Ith was telling me about one of her favorite Loreena McKennitt songs.

"She was forced to marry, and died of a broken heart. Then, her love comes home from sea, kisses her, then dies. Ahhhh! I love Scottish music!"

I just had to share...

It's Too Early to be Up! [whine whine]

It's not fair! [pout]

I worked till midnight last night, and have to be at work at 8 am today.

Tired!

Sleepy!

[mega-pout]

Have You Hugged Your Pharmacy Technician Lately?

No?

Well... I'm not surprised, since there's usually a wide counter between you and the technicians.

But, why do I ask, you say?

Because, National Pharmacy Technician Day is coming!!!

Yes, Tuesday, October 25th, is the day you can stand up, look proud, and thank the tech that gives you all those lovely drugs you covet.

Mark your calenders!

GIMME!!!!

Oh, gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

It's stitch! and a doll! It's cute!

GIMME!

It's only $149 plus Shipping and Handling.

Bag... OK...

In Macy's, Ith and I saw this:

It's a Shanaia Croco Drawstring Satchel by Kathy Van Zeeland.

According to Ith, this bag is so ugly, she has to have it.

To paraphrase her: "In the store, it pulls you in, it sends out 'I'm ugly, but you must have me!' vibes." She went on to say that she was having a Gilmore Girls/shopping moment.

Serenity Thoughts

And, this post is a few thoughts I had while not scribbling quotes down during the movie.

Mal must see Kaylee as a little sister, due to his reaction to this line: "Going on a year now, I haven't had anything between my nethers that didn't have batteries!" The look on his face is like an older brother who just found out his sister is having sex.

Shiny must mean great, wonderful, etc... it's used a few times in the movie... "Shiny! Let's be bad guys!", and later, someone used it in such a way that reminded me of "Cool!"

So, I've started to use "Shiny"... and, this line, which I just love: She is starting to damage my calm!

Statistic time! 30 million people on Miranda. 1/10 of 1% became Reavers. That means ten years ago, there were 30000 Reavers created.

I love Jayne's shirts!

Serenity Quotes

The second time I went to see Serenity (saw it the third time this morning before work), I brought a notebook with me to write down quotes.

I forgot to share them until now.

So, here they are! Yes, some are missing... Either they're in the trailer, and I'll get them from there, or I was laughing so much, I took too long to write it down and forgot the second half.

And, yes, these are all from a little under 2 hour movie. There are even more that I need to get.

I Need a Name...

I need a new name at work... Agnes? Mary? Joan?

If I have to hear one more Hispanic, Arabic, or Indian man chat me up using the trite line: "A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.", I'm going to do something drastic with a rusty and dull exacto knife!

Math... Hurt... Head... !!!

A doctor wrote a prescription with directions as follows:

3 month supply

1 tablet (25mg) a day x 1 week, increase by 25mg per week till 200mg twice daily.

OK... you figure out how many tablets are needed for a 3 month supply.

And, you have to remember that, in pharmacy, for countable tablets, a month is 30 days.

It's 524 tablets.

Yes, I actually did figure out what it would be. Then, I took my half page of calculations to the pharmacist so he'd have a trail to follow.

He congratulated me on getting it correct and handed me back my calculations sheet. He says I should frame it...

Hah!

From my mom:

The Kane County, Illinois Sheriff's Department orders plain white patrol units and has the graphics applied locally. In this case, what they ordered was not quite what they got. This car was driven for 1 week before an officer noticed what the graphics company employee did on the passenger side of the car. The employee did this on his last day working for the graphics company before he retired.

Update: Is it me, or does the doughnuts bit look paint shopped in? It probably isn't, but it suddenly caught me just now...

And, heck, even if it is a total face, I still got a laugh!
