Naked anticipation... Better get some big trousers.
~grins~ I tend to check Facebook about every week or so. Most of it is nonsense and can be ignored. OTOH, I got to find a friend that I had lost tough with throught Facebook
Yeah, I'm not nearly as good with people as that. I'd check mine about once every three months, usually prompted by a text asking "Did you get the message I sent you on Facebook?" There's also the fact that I don't really have much desire to stay in contact with a lot of my "friends," and I tend to have other ways to stay in contact with those I do.
Honestly, Facebook's just getting creepy invasive.
Someone must have turned my cats from on to crazy this morning. I was asleep and then a cat jumped on me as a way to get to one of the other cats. I could hear them running around chasing each other with Karen's tom cat snarling and hissing at whomever got to close too him.
Stay cool Lindisty. I am glad that you are such a good friend. ~whispers~ You are making sure to charge them premium rates, right?
Eh... it doesn't cost me anything to have them there. A couple of them cleaned out their refrigerators and brought food over to use up before it went bad-- and helped cook for everybody. Others brought board games and cards to keep us busy, so we all benefited, one way or another. :)
Sounds like your friends are better guests than most. Good on them. =)

Can I borrow your friends some time?
Just one more day of work, plus that pesky holiday celebrating the birth of the most FAWESOMEST Nation, and then I get to fly out to PaizoCon! Woot!
We are going to start driving on the 4th with the girls.
Morning FaWtLies, it seems I beat Aberzombie to the punch this morning.
I caught the midnight showing of the Amazing Spider-Man and it ended when Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive brown recluse spider and liquefied to death in Aunt May's arms.
No wait. There's a reason why I should never stay up late and what a movie.
The Amazing Spider-Man was good, very good. Not Avengers great, but way better than the last three movies they had with Toby McGuire. The lizard was lethal, dragon lethal and the overall plot extended from beginning to end. They had Sally Field as Aunt May and Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben. A real solid supporting cast that had a hot leggie Emma Stone and Dennis Leary as her father.
Worth seeing as a manatee or via general admission.
The original trailers had me left with a Twilight Teen Pandering Vibe that gave me an awful taste in my mouth and thus want nothing to do with the film. Should I toss that notion aside? It's a tough order to say that this reboot was way better than the previous three combined (even if that last one was a bit of a stinker...).
Well, I just broke a law of internet socialization and deleted my facebook.
I resisted it kicking & screaming until I was peer-pressured into joining. Yeah, there's some soulless crap and clutter, but it's how you make use of it. I've met a lot of new friends and got in touch with a bunch of old ones I haven't seen for over 10 to 15 years; even to branch out of cyberspace and into meatspace. Frankly, if it weren't for it, I wouldn't have all the awesome connections I do now to see a plethora of concerts as someone's guest versus paying for them. It keeps my sanity intact instead of just sitting around at home doing nothing because unemployment forces me to live frugally. I'm already insane enough as it is; it doesn't need to reach an unhealthy spectrum of the shut-ins due to lack of affording entertainment.

Yeah, there's a pro / con to the "oversharing." I don't provide all my information to Facebook. I also tend to limit what I like and/or comment upon because I can't depend on the setting of the person who initiated the status / photo / comment / etc and have it bleed onto the wall feed for everyone to see what I'm responding / liking as if I have to explain why I'm allegedly offending them. <shrug>
On the other hand, it has caught stuff that I didn't know about that I would have otherwise missed.
It's Catch 22. I just try to make sure my own personal privacy settings are in order and be mindful of what I choose what to (not) share.
Good morning, FAWTLies! How's the day treating you so far? Did I miss anything important?
Rampant power outages and intense heat have been the major factor in my life the last few days. My house never lost power (thank $DEITY for buried power lines in the city), so I've been host to a parade of suburbanite friends who've been without power since Friday. Reliable electricity in weather crises makes up for many of the disadvantages of urban life. :)
It's always 70 degrees at my place. :-) Perfect temperature for jaccuzing...
Better than the first 3? Didn't car for the last one, but that a tall order friend. Will look forward to other reviews.

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. I plan to see it when I get back from PaizoCon.
I don't think I'll travel to Florida or an aquarium to see it on the side of a manatee, though. :P

It's taken years of weeding and careful cultivation to grow this circle of friends. There aren't a lot of them, but they're all reasonably awesome. :)

No, the perfect temperature for jacuzzi-ing is sub-freezing, in my book. I mean, it's nice when the weather's temperate, but it's best when it's really cold out. Watching the snow fall and melt in the steam from the hot tub is one of the Best. Things. Ever. :)
That said, I rarely turn down good company in a jacuzzi. :)

There will be a test.
I may be so excited I'm wiggling like a Corgi.
Kinky! I never knew you had it in you.
That will also be on the test.

Hi everyone,
quick rest at the hotel
the day started at the Empire State Building,
I proposed. Sabine said yes. We are engaded now.
and, I kid you not, the moment I went down on m knee and pulled the ring out, A AUSTRIAN YOUTH CHOIR IN DIRNDL AND LEDERHOSEN STARTS SINGING IN GERMAN ON THE VIEWING PLATTFORM
we made pics with them, I try to upload to Photo Bucket
then we did a sightseeing tour and a river cruise, now sunburned we are at the hotel and I watch Baseball, trying to understand the counting of that sport
*looks confused at TV*
Don't worry. Some of us Americans don't get it either.

You are not alone. :) (I came late to baseball fandom. I've been watching baseball regularly since 2005, and I STILL don't understand all the rules.)
Edited to add: Also, television is not kind to baseball. Watching it at the park, where you can see the whole field at all times, is very different from watching it on television where it gets all split up by camera angles and such. It's easier to understand when you can see the whole field, I think.
Congrats, aeglos!
Hahahahahahah, that's awesome Aeglos. Congratulations man. =)
Congratulations Aeglos - clearly it was meant to be.
Congratulations, aeglos!!
All the best, Aeglos. Congratulations, man, it sounds perfect (apart from the baseball).
