Finding Nemo the movie - one of the best of the new Disney.
Finding Nemo the Ice Show? (as interpreted from the tv commercials)
Most. Horrifying. Thing. Ever.
How big does your genius have to be to think, 'Yes, yes! Women, on skates, with fishheads on their chests, eyes at breast level, and for Dory, mouth unfortunately placed - that's the ticket!'
This is the point where society is the winner of the Darwin award. We're about to turn on the rocket pack on our backs and crash into the mountain.
current mood:  horrified

Wow.
There were 58 people at my caucus tonight. We ran out of ballots and had to make more. I just... that's 52 more people than the midterm, 48 more than 2004.
In the preference vote - Obama - 29, Clinton 28 (the convenor forgot to vote! - it would have been 29 - 29 in that case).
Resolutions passed without dissent-
The party support legislation to prevent employment discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The party support the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
The party refuse to support changing the Minnesota and Federal Constitutions with Amendments banning same sex marriage.
current mood:  cheerful

Caucuses are tonight, should be interesting. People are anticipating higher than normal turn out. I'm anticipating the same 8 people I see every time.
In other news, my broken tooth is now more broken, I guess it's time to mortgage the house and go see a dentist.
current mood:  quixotic

And this makes me feel old.
Aliens was released 22 years ago this year.
On F2, ONTD, ppl are talking about Tim Reid on 'Sister Sister' - and I'm going, Hey, Venus Flytrap still looking good.
I think it's way past time for sleeps.
current mood:  sleepy

I have cleaned all the screens in the house.
Man, it's a hella lot lighter in here. Whoa.
I just keep thinking how the next step on SGA is to get the original Chairman on. That would be groovy.

This is how sick I am:
This afternoon I drank 8 cups of herbal tea. Okay, so it was 1 Black Tea Bag + 2 Herbal Tea Bagsb = blerbal tea?
The first 4 cups were Bengal Spice and the second 4 cups were Tangerine Orange Zinger.
I like tea a great deal, but it has to be right out of the pot hot, which... yeah. Doesn't last. Lukewarm tea? Vile. So I put my blerbal tea into a thermos after it was steeped and it was actually drinkable! Unlike most of the hot tea I had last week at the conference, in which the hot water pots were not at all hot by the time we got to them. 8-(
Adding the herbal teas helped as my sense of taste is currently toasted, so that was good. The Bengal Spice was okay, chai-like, but there was an offnote, either the chickory, carob, or vanilla. I like Stash's Chai better for Chai. The Tangerine Orange Zinger was better, different, but I liked it.
So, all that hot tea, and then a hot shower, but the congestion doesn't seem to be moving all that much, dammit. Though I have my voice back and I sound a bit less like Harvey Fierstein than I did this afternoon.
My job next week? Get SGA icons, sheesh.
Okay, finish this, then Alton!
current mood:  tired

2:39 pm - TV Alert!

To the Minnesota (and Wisconsin and Iowa) folks,
Alton Brown's Feasting on Asphalt tonight at 8pm will be the episode shot here in MN.
Lutefisk + Alton Brown = JOY.
Horrible, lye coated, stinky JOY.
Still have the cold of death, send help.
current mood:  YAY LUTEFISK!

Farmer's Market for the win! The WIN, people.
Texas made me want vegetables, and now I have amazing picked this morning green and wax beans, squashes, cucumbers, tomatoes...
So pretty, so delicious...
If only I had a cook to make them for me.
current mood:  hungry

Last week was insane with meetings, this week is insane with getting ready to go to Texas next week.
BUT!
I managed to remember the second showing of Eureka this week. I thought the episode was sweet; Eureka FTW! I did not like that transmission got fubared twice. This is why we have cable, cable.
And I saw a commercial for Megasnake. Michael Shanks and the winner of 'Who wants to be a Superhero'. Yeeaaah. Honestly, I don't know whether to go with 'and he was the only real actor on SG1!' or 'Oh, Michael.'
And lastly, Flash Gordon.
1. Why does every woman on the show look like Lana Lang?
2. Thank god SGA was picked up for another season, because Zarkov was cast as if it was for DH. *shudders*
3. YHALOTHAR, Vancouver. *hugs*
4. People who don't understand the cheezy perfection of the movie depress me. This show, it is so... drab.
current mood: sleepy

3:59 pm - Mother Earth Loves Me
|
How I spent the second day of my summer Vacation (or, Beth does not call into work to check on things day 2):
Today we loaded 3 TVs, 1 monitor, 1 VCR, 2 DVD players, and about 8 fluorescent light bulbs into the truck and took them to be recycled.
$185 later... they are gone. (the electronics were $0.41 a pound, so it was about 440lbs)
We still have 2 TVs, 1 Microwave, and a toaster oven for the next trip.
Then we went to the farmer's market and got corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, green beans, onions, baby red potatoes, and kohlrabi.
Now to change and go back downstairs and collapse more cardboard and try to get a handle on the stuff to put on freecycle.
current mood: Loves me like a rock

6:14 pm - SciFi - For the Lose. Again.
|
They apparently aren't reupping on the Dresden Files.
Because of course they don't want a show that appeals to anyone over the age of 12.
Between that and the fact we could be having BRAND NEW SGA eps RIGHT NOW...
FOAD, SciFi.
I'm fully expecting them to be airing the 56 part mini-series: Meglodon vs Mansquito, the High School Years.
current mood:  highly cranky

David Nykl on Eureka FTW!
Even if he didn't show until the last 15 minutes.
I think Eureka is holding up pretty well with S2 so far. And Friday Casual Stark is very hot. Much hotter than last season. *frowns*.
Anyway. LJ's back.
Now we can see the hundreds of entries 'I'm bibbity over on insertnameofotherjournalhere'. Because now it's helpful. 9-)
So, they keep advertising the Kia Rondo during Eureka. It's a bit of local dissonance, that ad. A happy African-American couple loading up their Kia Rondo SUV. You have to understand the significance of Rondo to people from the Twin Cities.
Anyway. Day 3 of 3 of meetings tomorrow, so sleep now.
current mood: sleepy

Eureka! See, this is what happens when you get out of the TV habit because there's only reruns and 'reality' tv on. You miss Eureka. Dammit.

Home from Atlantis - well, have been home for awhile, but had to take a post driving nap.
Any vacay that starts with chicklet_girl and I barely able to stand upright we're laughing so hard upon seeing our accommodations - is a good weekend.
And there was Cap'n Jack.
More laters.

Woot!
So, last Friday I really wanted to grill some steaks - and since I totally got hosed on the mini-propane grill (with mini-propane tanks - cheap to buy, $5/ea to dispose of...), we had bought an electric grill a few years ago.
It was dead. Deadity dead.
So, today after getting my hair chopped all off - shortest it's been in years - I got this:
http://www.brevilleusa.com/products/800grxl/index.jsp?sku=800grxl&cID=233&pID=11&pvID=11
It's so cute! And fast! And cute!
The other one (and it was Krups - it should have totally lasted longer), had a grill grille, which was horrifying to clean, and the griddle plate was from crap.
Made chicken breasts in it tonight and while it took a little time to get the grill cleaned, it cleaned perfectly clean, no unreachable bits to get icky.
I totally want a grilled cheese now. *g*
*hearts her new foodtoy*
