Good luck, may they be in need of a Doctor Wu and not be evil.
Good luck and may they be equal-opportunity evil force.

Also, I went to see Wolverine yesterday. It was fun, if a little predictable.
OMFG, sooooooo predictable.
I enjoyed it anyway, the Japanese was excellent. She fixed him some shabu-shabu at the house on Kyushuu! I haven't had that soup in ages! Yuuuuum! I also visited Nagasaki myself while I was there, so it was kinda cool.

A tiny-weeny bit of rain poured from the night sky and the wind keeps sounding like it could start raining anytime soon...
There would be certain benefits to rain, assuming it would lower the overall temperature instead of turning the day into steambath.
Yep, the weather here has been crazy too. Hot with thunderstorms & heavy rain fall. Then back to being sunny.

Hey, sock it sock it to me one more time! This command does nothing but baffle both of them, though Sophie occasionally jumps on us in excitement. This could loosely be construed as 'socking it to me', particularly when 'me' is male. She has great aim and has put more than one a$$ on the floor. Failure, but not absolute. (1/5)
Get low! When accompanied by fist to the floor, the dogs do in fact 'get low' with bellies (as well as a$$e$) on the floor (this works best if the fist contains food). They do not, however, follow this direction without accompanying manual signals. Partial credit. (3/5)
Stop! (oh) And wiggle with it! (yeah!): Stop! is perfect. Whenever we yell it, they immediately stop and stand still, wagging furiously. The wag gives them a hellacious wiggle. Full credit. (5/5)
Back, back, back it up! Incredibly successful. Both of them, even the dumb one, back up obediently. It's not like they turn and walk away, either. They. back. up. It's amazing. Full marks. (5/5)
Watch out! Screaming 'watch out!' at the dogs causes them to stop and look around in confusion, ears pricked, showing their high level of alertness. Seems like watching out to me. We'll give them full credit on this one, too.(5/5)
Get krunk in the club The club doesn't allow dogs so we can't try this command. I bet they'd let pit bulls in. Omitted.
WHAT!? This has the same response as watch out!. But since it's not really a command, I'm not giving them credit nor taking any away. We just like to randomly scream WHAT!? at the dogs so they know who's

So...Space City con is this weekend.
And I...have volunteered...to run 20 hours of games.
Why yes...yes I am a masochist.
If that one guy that spent twelve FREAKIN' hours unable to talk to me at Comicpalooza last year shows up, I will not be able to avoid yelling at him, I fear.
I ran three scenarios last year, part 1, 2 and (shockingly!) 3...this same guy was at all three. Not only did he already reek across the table at the first game (and yes, it always goes downhill from there), but he literally could not speak to me the entire session. Everytime I asked him a question, he could do nothing but giggle helplessly. The only word he managed to me the entire 4 hour session was "*giggle* yeah *giggle*". ditto part 2. And part 3. I left the con early rather than volunteer to run a 5th game when I saw him walk into the gaming room that Sunday.
-_-
You could always....
......kill! Kill!! KILL!!!

Grrr,...
Ethics training s#cks.
Not only have I wasted an hour of my life I will never get back, I have Definitive PROOF that states in general, (And Louisiana in particular) are dumber than any individual could possibly be.
They have rules about what you can and not accept, if at all,
Then they have exceptions to those rules,
Then there are the exceptions to the exceptions.The only way to be safe if you work for the state in ANY capacity, is to NEVER take anything from anybody, or do anything except your job.
And half the time you'll probably still get in trouble. ;P
Excuse me, I'm gonna go crawl back in my cave now. I'm sure posting on the internet violates something in the code of ethics somewhere,... ;P
We are not a nation of laws; we are a nation of lawyers. :(

I am going to a cousin's wedding this weekend.
If they did not indicate where they are registered for gifts, is it reasonable for me to just give cash? I don't like bringing non-registry gifts to people that I am not that close with, since I have no idea what they would want.
Unless they are very wealthy, I can't imagine a young couple who would not appreciate money.

When I said I'd like some rain I did not mean a deluge while I was cycling home from downtown. (Admittedly, with the size of Trollhättan, downtown is 15 minutes of fast pedaling - not that fast pedaling is a possibility when you're short-sighted and the rain is coming down that fast - someone invent automatic windscreen-wipes for glasses, please!)

+1, you can't go wrong with money, a wedding is expensive!
you can wrap the money in some creative way (or let a professional do it) if you don't just want to hand over an envelope (we got some very cool and creative money gifts)edit: tip from Sabine: let your boyfriend wrapp the money with floristic skills
we got money in a Weck glas (like a mason jar) rolled up like pickled herrings with pickle spices

Get them a puppy. Everyone loves puppies.
