Today I must avoid going into the Agents of SHIELD thread, so as to avoid potential spoilers. I really don't trust posters around here to use the spoiler tag.

Scarab Sages

Also: WILL NEED MUCH COFFEE!!!

Scarab Sages

And I may leave early, just because.

Scarab Sages

I took my love and took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh, I'm getting older too

I take my love, take it down
I climb a mountain and turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Will the landslide bring you down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Will the landslide bring you down, oh, oh
The landslide bring you down

Scarab Sages

If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Don't you look back,
Don't you look back.

Did you ever have one of those mornings when you just want to smack the s%~& out of some schmuck.....with a baseball bat?

Scarab Sages

And I really need to get better with birthdays. Over the weekend was my nephew's birthday. I still haven't sent a card. Today, apparently, it my sister-in-law's birthday.

Scarab Sages

All right. Busy day ahead. Peace and chicken grease to one and all.

<_<
Noooo.....
Tire iron maybe.

Scarab Sages

Ugh! Another busy day, filled with headaches and annoyances.

Scarab Sages

At least it's Friday.

Scarab Sages

A busy weekend, but much good was accomplished.

Scarab Sages

This morning, I took the boy to a birthday party for one of his daycare classmates, a young girl named Makinley. The party was at a bounce house place called Bouncin Bears.

While we were there, two of my coworkers showed up. Apparently, they were having a play date with their respective children. I say apparently, because they are both divorced, so I think it may have been (at least in part) a "date" date.

Scarab Sages

I look forward to the gossip I shall spread on Monday.

Scarab Sages

Yes. On occasion, I am a notorious gossip.

Scarab Sages

Friday I picked up a 6+ pound pork loin. Yesterday, I cut in half. One half went into the freezer. The other half got stuffed with garlic, doused with liquid smoke and Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, then stuck in the rotisserie for an hour and a half.

It was yummy.

Scarab Sages

Eventually, I'll thaw out that other half and maybe smoke it.

Scarab Sages

Ye gods! Even the "Television" sub-forum can't escape asstroll threads. It's like they aren't happy unless they're injecting their poison into everything. That's why we can't have nice things.

Scarab Sages

Walking Dead was awesome, as always.

Scarab Sages

A week prior to this past Friday, I received a big shipment at home - two Comic Cubes. I had always intended to get something like this for storage of my comic collection, and over the past few months had gotten off my ass, found the company, started a dialogue with them, and placed my order.

So, I get the cubes, and one of them is a bit banged up. It was missing two pieces of trim along the bottom, and a third piece was broken. As well, some of the particle board bottom pieces were cracked, but that was nothing big). Anyway, I emailed the company and the dude sent me some replacement trim, which I received in the mail and installed this past Friday.

Now the cubes are in place in my office/library, just waiting to be filled.

Scarab Sages

Incidentally, I thought I would need help to move them, but it turns out they are much lighter if you take the drawers out first.

Scarab Sages

All right, it's gonna be a busy day/week. So I'd best get moving.

Scarab Sages

Another incidentally - it's been raining non-stop since yesterday morning.

Scarab Sages

Had to leave work early yesterday. At daycare, Baby Girl broke out in a severe rash all over her body. Took her to the doctor, and they're fairly certain it was an allergic reaction. A bit further investigation leads us to believe it MIGHT have been the bit of milk they tell us she drank at lunch. Normally, Baby Girl won't touch the stuff. So, now we get to have her tested, just to make sure.

It's weird, because she'll eat stuff with milk in it (cheese, bread, yogurt) seemingly without any problems. The doctor explained that might be because those things are processed somehow.

So, we'll see. For now, though, we're gonna lay off the milk and milk-ish stuff.

Scarab Sages

Otherwise, I spent a large portion of yesterday evening doing some reading. That was enjoyable.


*blink*

Hello zombeh! I hope all is well :)

Scarab Sages

All is well, indeed, my friend.

Scarab Sages

Tonight, I think I may start transferring some of my comics in the comic cubes. I'll just have to stay strong, and not get caught up in reading through old issues that catch my eye. Otherwise, I'll never get anything done.

Scarab Sages

Speaking of....

MUST. STAY. STRONG.

It would be far too easy to enter the latest troll thread and call some of those little turds out on their rank hypocrisy.

Scarab Sages

I shall be positive instead! Last night, we finished off the last of the pork loin I cooked in the rotisserie this past Saturday. To go with it, I was going to do baked potatoes, but we had only one. So, I took that potato, and the remainder of the baby potatoes, chopped them up and fried them with some onions and peppers.

Scarab Sages

Tonight! Left over stew!!

Scarab Sages

Driving in to the parking garage at work this morning, I was looking for my friend's truck around where he usually parks (on the second level). I did not see his truck, but I did see a brand new truck. I thought to myself, "I wonder if Gary (my friend) got a new truck."

Turns out, he did.

Scarab Sages

This weekend promises to be beautiful weather. Sunny and in the 70s.

Scarab Sages

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine

Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind

And we can dance
Or sing!

We can go when we want to
The night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
And surprise 'em with the victory cry

Say, we can act if we want to
If we don't, nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And I can act like an imbecile

And say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
They're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance
Safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Ah yes, the safety dance

We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it
Everything'll work out right

I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well, they're no friends of mine

I say, we can dance, we can dance
Everything's out of control
We can dance, we can dance
We're doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance
Everybody's taking the chance

Oh well, the safety dance
Ah yes, the safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Oh well, the safety dance
Oh yes, the safety dance
Oh, the safety dance, yeah
Well, it's the safety dance
It's the safety dance
Well, it's the safety dance
Oh, it's the safety dance
Oh, it's the safety dance
Oh, it's the safety dance

Scarab Sages

Just realized, another week or five and I may be surpassing 50K. Huzzah for me.

Scarab Sages

I'm going to try and make the rest of my week as busy as possible, just so the time seems to pass more quickly.

Scarab Sages

That might mean staying logged in here (and on Facebook) as much as possible, just so I have something to fill the inevitable slow points of the day.

Via the phone, at least.

Scarab Sages

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Sometimes, it's scary just how oblivious a dude higher up the project food chain can be.

Scarab Sages

Sometimes, I miss the old (for me) days.

a-yup.

Scarab Sages

Ok, I'll admit it - I'm totally being a troll in that "Algorithm to replace cuss words with smurf" thread. I can't help it though - so many self-righteous little tools who get offended at the least hint of a curse word.

Scarab Sages

Also, Happy Birthday to two of my favorite entertainers - Ron Jeremy and Frank Welker!

Scarab Sages

A bit rainy this morning, but otherwise not too bad. Temps in the 50s, but are gonna climb into the 60s. After that, and (so far) until next Wednesday, it's looking like daytimes with sunshine and 70s temps!!!

Scarab Sages

Yesterday, the wife texted me asking if there was "anything special I'd like for dinner".

I replied: "Roasted lamb with raspberry coulis, mint sprig garnish, whole new potatoes, also roasted, with garlic and herb seasoning, fresh steamed mixed vegetables. A 1950s vintage of Dom Perignon to drink should round it out nicely."

We had left over stew.

Scarab Sages

She did say, however, that she went to the store looking for some lamb. So there's hope for next time.

Scarab Sages

All righty. Time to go make the world safe from the forces of....romance novels.

I thought this started off by you saying your wife SEXTED you.

That made the remaining post hilarious.

A very noble calling indeed.

I am nothing, if not noble in my endeavors.
