am i the only one who has a default song? a default song is the song that you… duh… default to, if you don’t have a song stuck in your head. that way, you still have something to sing. i have no choice about my default song. in a way, it’s the ultimate song-stuck-in-my-head experience. occaisionally, other songs override it, temporarily, but when they pass, it’s right back to that song. and i’m powerless to change it. i know it changed a few years ago, but i can’t even remember what it used to be.
my default song? The Lumberjack song from Monty Python. best part – i screw up the lyrics. for years, it’s my default song, and i still work all night and sleep all day. plus, i forget some lyrics entirely.
i cannot be the only one who has a default song, stuck in their head. am i?

i’m having a bad day here, people. and i think i know why. i learned, from the animal planet, that sharks have a sixth sense, electroreception. it’s the ability to sense electrical signals. all living things emit electrical signals, and sharks can sense where these are coming from. so, for example, you are swimming in the ocean, your muscles are putting off electrical signals as they move, shark senses these, and eats your sorry ass. anyway, i think i have this. electroreception. and i am picking up on the electrical signals of everyone around me. and it’s jamming my circuitry. making me kind of manic and squirrelly.
lisa comments: I am very behind and I’m trying to catch up on blogs. I am very disappointed not to see any Eddie pictures here.
what kind of pictures did you want, exactly, lisa? you mean pictures that i might have taken myself, of eddie, or just pictures of him in general? because i never saw him off stage to take any pictures. in reality, i’m not a very good stalker. i’m more of a “‘oh the show’s over?’ leave people to their own business after that” kind of girl. but if you want some pictures of him, i can certainly find some for you. in fact, it would be MY PLEASURE. i’ll do that as soon as i get home. later.

i’ve been messing with my website a bit today. consequently, i broke some stuff on my style sheet, and it took me forever to figure out what i did wrong. truth-be-told, i still don’t know what i did to fix it. golive fixed it for me. i think. anyway, it’s apple’s fault. and i mean that in a good way. word on the street is that panther is ready to go GM anyday. the rumors put the release at oct. 24th. but who listens to rumors? i do. so i’m getting ready for panther. my computer, at home, is a bit of a mess. it needs some serious organization. and a major backup done. so i was digging through some of the older junk, and i found a bunch of stuff i decided i might as well put up. some of it’s just because it cracks me up. consequently, i got no organizing done.
what was my point? oh yeah, because of panther, i was messing about with the website. and that’s when i broke my style sheet. which i had to fix. so i didn’t get as much done as i wanted. i did put one thing up. this is a page from a design i was messing with a long long time ago, for uberbrain.com. back when the vision for uberbrain was much more elaborate. the reason i am putting it up, is because i like the roll over portraits i did. they make me laugh. so does the scary email.
oh, speaking of software releases.

for giving me more distractions.
i asked the magic 8 ball and these are the answers.
will i marry eddie izzard? [i’m still in post show afterglow, as you can see.]
Without A Doubt. [nice!]
will i ever meet a real live Ranger? [character in janet evanovich book, not a park ranger, or something.]
It is Certain. [sweet!]
ok, then, when we meet, will we have hot sweaty monkey sex?
It is Certain. [YEEEESSSS!!]
will i become a best selling author?
Without A Doubt.
so there you go… i have some pretty good things to look forward to, don’t i?

having a hard time writing today. because i am way way way way tired. don’t know why. i slept and everything last night. maybe i’m not meant to sleep.
so, i have learned from loon that i am:

You’re a unicorn of a different color. You’re your
own person…err, unicorn, andyou aren’t afraid
to be different. Go you! Unfortunately, you are
also utterly insane.

What Kind of Unicorn are YOU? (no, really..its cool- with graphics!)
brought to you by Quizilla
which really should be no surprise to anyone. especially the utterly insane part. loon is also a unicorn of a different color. which may be why, out of dozens and dozens of people in the fan fiction yahoo group, we found each other.
i learned from judy that i am:

-Perfect- You’re the perfect girlfriend. Which means you’re rare or that you cheated 😛 You’re the kind of chick that can hang out with your boyfriend’s friends and be silly. You don’t care about presents or about going to fancy placed. Hell, you just like to hang out. You’re just happy being around your boyfriend.

What Kind of Girlfriend Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

so is judy. and romy. so it’s definitely an ¸berthing. now if they are unicorns of a different color, and loon is a perfect girlfriend, it might be that loon is uber and doesn’t know it. she might have accidentally picked up on ¸berbrain waves. due to blog commenting proximity.
hey… if i am the perfect girlfriend, how come i don’t have a boyfriend? i must be too intimidating with my perfection.
i am so avoiding writing technical documents right now. can you tell? too bad they are due today.
sometimes, i like to spin around and around and around in my chair, until everything remains swirly for a while afterwards. am i alone in this?

i have four technical documents due to editing by the end of the day tomorrow. i did the easiest one first. and now, i am working on the worst one. the most tedious one. and it’s a mother fucker. i can say that, because it’s my blog. i’m allowed to use potty language on my own blog.
i had fun at fee’s this weekend. you could probably read some details at potato farm. eddie was awesome, and he did some stuff he did not do in the seattle show. and the same stuff was done differently anyway. plus he was wearing a skirt and fishnet stockings. which was different. the skirt had a looooong slit all the way up. and was sparkly. which is nice. we were in the very very very back row. row O. but we had bee-nocks.
also, i had my tarot cards read by fee’s friend marcus. i would have to say that about 6 out of the 10 cards were reversed. which he read in the traditional “reversed card” manner. of course, all the negative cards were upright. what’s funny is, all my cards were about money, and sacrifice, and life style changes, and loss of material possessions. but it was also about wealth coming from an unexpected source. hmmmm…. lottery?
response to fee: of course i am picky!! look at who signs my paycheck? duh! i’m not saying i could do better, but we are used to a pretty high standard when it comes to photoshop skills around here. again… duh!
since we mentioned tarot, let’s pick a voyager card of the day, shall we?

The cup as a container symbolizes the management of your feelings, resulting in emotional equilibrium. Emotional stability, like the river, means going with the natural flow of your feelings. Yet, like the duck vase, ride on top of these emotional waters, particularly during the blues and the unexpected twists and bogs in the river of life. This requires a meditative state of mind and heart, to be feeling and apart from your feelings as you acknowledge them without judgment.
Equilibrium derives from emotional self sufficiency, an inner reservoir of emotional vitality that enables you to be sunny (yellow flowers) in the coldest of times. The ever full cups of the mountain watershed and flowering cactus plant, even in the driest and prickliest of conditions, symbolize this spring of life within you.
this is a two card. i like two cards. they are preistess cards. mental. reflective. feminine. balanced. cool.

it’s monday. and it’s a monday after a four day weekend. a little mini holiday from which i returned last night. which means it’s… STEAL FUNNY THINGS FROM OTHER PEOPLE DAY!! that’s right, this is a day where i do little work, and a whole lot of copy and paste.
loon is a great source of things that are funny. that must be why they call her loon.

canaidans are funny. kittens with guns are funny. poor photoshop skills are no laughing matter. hopefully, the artists will spend more time on fark.com and learn to hone his craft.
is that how you spell hone?

Los Angeles Bans Lap Dancing in Strip Clubs
who would waste money on a law like this?

this is unacceptable because she is asking QUESTIONS!! and i must answer them!! i guess tuesday is choseday. so i’ll answer them over here. oh man… what if she doesn’t come over here and see the answers? what then? she’ll have NO IDEA what i would have chosen. my opinion will go UNNOTICED!! i’m scared.
on the bright side, this gives some of my internet friends and chance to answer questions. how fun!
WOULD YOU RATHER:
1. Drool noticeably every time you see food OR have to throw up whatever you ate exactly 15 minutes later?
oh drool. for sure. i hate throwing up. i avoid it at all costs. drooling could be fun. cuz you could get yourself a little drool cup.
2. Meet an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend 5 years later and be very overweight OR be balding?
overweight. i can’t imagine not having my hair. unfortanately, i can easily imagine being overweight. but lose my hair?
3. Show up at a black tie even wearing only a toga, and have to stay the whole night OR have a stripper accidentally pop out of a cake at your family reunion?
oh this is easy. in fact, i am surprised we haven’t had a stripper pop out of a cake at a family reunion. my family is completely inappropriate.
4. Sneeze once every minute for 2 days straight OR cough up phlegm constantly for 12 hours?
definately sneeze. i hate phlegm. but… actually. 2 days, every minute might be a bit tiring. maybe i would rather cough up phlegm. i’m torn on this one.
ok, i just checked back on loon’s site, and i can comment now. but i’ve written all this out already.. i guess i pre-panicked before it was really necessary?
does this guy scare you as much as he scares me?

thank you everyone who agrees with me that $4.61 is a ridiculous amount. it doesn’t even make sense. how am i supposed to live on that, and continue to work and therefore make money to pay them back? i don’t know. there’s no logic. stupid IRS.
it certainly does not leave me enough money to see “underworld” and i’ve been waiting DESPERATELY since summer began to see that movie. i’ve got that red tape song, from the preview, in my car and i listen to it all the time. molly has long since put the date in her palm… phooey. i told molly and evildeb i would know by the 24th if i could see it. because by the 24th i will know if i removed the levy in time to get a paycheck on the 30th. so we have a tentative date for the 25th.
i wasn’t going to be able to see it with them on friday anyway… i’ll be IN PASADENA!! eating fee’s food and playing with her bunnies.
so fee hopes to grow up to be a pushy old lady, it turns out. me, i don’t want to shove people, i just want to yell at them. if i were that white haired lady, i’d put my face up right against his ear and yell “MOVE!!”
