Doing horribly girly things. Like buying outrageously fancy conditioner and shizz. I haven't had my hair this long in so long, I'd forgotten its natural tendency to ringlet. I'm curious, so I'm encouraging it. (Plus it frizzes like a hedgehog, hence the outrageously fancy conditioner and shampoo to try and cut down on the Chia Pet Effect) Fuck me, I'm even braiding it now it's got the length to do so.

Oh dear. Next thing you know, I'll be owning makeup. *shash*


In other idle banter, I was rereading At The Mountains of Madness by H.P Lovecraft. You know, given its relative position to McMurdo (mentioned in the novella) and the travel time and calculating for advances in travel technology....I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but the SGC Artic Base seen in Atlantis (and the original departure point for the city itself) would be roughly where the Citadel of the Elder Things was.....

Heh. Now that is seriously cool :D

EDIT: LJ and GY hath spoiled me. If I hand a cow-orker a slip of paper with explicit instructions (Uninstall product A, go to URL B, install product C) and they STOP TO ASK ME QUESTIONS when it falls outside the neat little parameters (eg: there's a sub-product of Product A installed as well) instead of, you know, applying some sort of common sense or capacity for recollection (LIKE WHEN I FUCKING WELL TOLD YOU TO RIP OUT ALL THE CISCO SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF NAME) , I wonder if they are idiots.

The sad thing is, I'm probably right. Being surrounded by intelligent professionals and decent techs spoils you for the mundane idiocy....

I think that spurlging on nice hair stuff isn't a bad thing. Whenever I find myself with some disposable income, I do it too. I tend to play in my hair and it's a wicked thing. It can go from healthy to war-torn in a blink of an eye. Spoil yourself, m'dear. Lord knows you deserve it. And James and the ratties can play in your soft ringlets afterwards. =D

Mundane idiocy, a universal constant. *sigh* Anyone for gene pool bleach?

I'll be owning makeup.

*stares owlishly*

Why do you always seem to think I need cheering up?

Well, you were complaining about co-workers so i sent you a distraction. A better question for you may be, 'why do I always think you need cheering up.'

*stares at sentence*

*pokes it*

I'm missing something....


And I always complain a bout cow-orkers. It doesn't mean I'm about to sobbingly slash my wrists, just that people are morons. Seriously. Especially when you can't follow explicit instructions on a piece of paper in your own hand....

Aha. I have worked it out

Because you, sister mine, are focusing on the negative. Consider the post. I posit something interesting and rather cool I found in a lovecraft book. I mention that I'm fussing idly with my hair. The third item is me considering the fact that the high level of intelligence on graveyard and on my LJ flist has ruined me for run of the mill idiocy. You assume that I'm not happy in my life.

Does not compute.

*scrolls back through entries*

Lesse. D*A*A*S song spammage. Declarations my country rules over all others. Odd news articles that made me go "EH???!" a song I particularly like, and squeals of joy over something a friend in the UK sent me. A tracklist posting...several more giggles...Threats of badger rapeage...another lyrics post...Flibble!Master and me being drunk for the first time in several years, and juuust ekeing in at over a week ago, me waking up moody and pissy, due to (I now know) hormones. Again, how does this make you think at I'm not happy? hmm?

It's the end of the world as we know it... it's the end of the world as we know it... it's the end of the world as we know it...

*hides under desk*

The nuclear apocalypse is upon us!

Dude, seriously - don't. I don't know how I'd cope.

Hey, I'm allowed to look good for torasin on occasion y'know!

But yeah, seriously. Naw. Wouldn't. Jesus fucking christ, I have no idea how to apply the fucking stuff in the first place. And I'd look horrible as a kewpie doll.
