That's it.

The snowblower's broken. Again. And not in some lame-ass ice in the fuel line way, I mean as in one of the cute little electrical cables has broken off the side and I can't see where the fuck it reattaches, if reattaching it is even possible at this point. So cue me having to shovel off four-five inches of snow off of every goddamn place. Two hours later, I'm back inside, sweaty, sore and swearing at everything but it's done. And I'm utterly pissed off and fed up with the world around me, seeing as it's seen fit to gleefully shit on my head at every opportunity.

I'm going to go shower for the second time today, and then I'm going to order me some pizza, and not crappy dominos either. I think, with the day/weekend/month/year/decade/life I've been having, I'm fully justified in splurging on Pizza Factory and then not sharing. Not that anyone wants to share anyway, since I fully intend on weighing the damn thing down with extra sauce and LOTS of dead thing.

Just for sundart...

since she wanted to send this guy fan mail - apparently, he's getting buttloads already.

Anyway, the guy flailing in his chair to Dragostea Din Tei has a name: Gary Brolsma. And apparently, he's getting quite a name for himself - google him and you'll find, like, actual news articles on this guy. And apparently now he's educational material...

Amazing what will accidentally make you famous. Apparently looking silly and having a great time doing it is the key.

In other news, ye gods. I forgot how wonderful Pizza Factory pizza actually is. I just had half of a fifteen inch pie, on whole wheat crust, with extra tomato sauce, bacon, ham and chicken. Feeling decidedly less homicidal now.

music, savage beasts, soothing, cocks, hell

I think I'm back to at least 80%. I think most of the reason I was mad as hell when I got back inside was that I was tired sore and hungry... and not inclined to do any of the around-the-house shit I was planning to do owing to whiteshittage. s'ok, I found something else to do on my to-do list that made me just as happy - namely put my valentine keyboard through its paces. I'd tinkered a wee bit with it before, but today I played with all 128 of the presets (some of them are wicked funny), messed with the attack/decay envelope (ah there's nothing like being exposed to computer synthesizers at a young age - I know what this shit does! And how to adjust it! Thank you, Music Studio.*), ran through some scales (fuck, i'm rusty) and started teaching myself the Moonlight Sonata, which I've been meaning to do for about a year. My hands are screaming up to the elbows - I guess they figured I was done with the whole reaching for octaves nonsense once I stopped organ. (It's quite a reach for me. Ow. Curse my bitsy hands.) It's also been years since I sat down and taught myself to play anything - not having a grand piano downstairs will do that, I guess. Speaking of which, jeez. I have to wonder how flat Mom's piano's gotten by now, should crank it open next time I'm in NY and nag Dad to get someone in to tune it.

so yeah, I'm a little sore, but way better than I was three hours ago.

Not much planned for the rest of the evening other than some OMG yay cuddlings with the much absent of late girlie and some cheerful overdosing on as much Law & Order as TNT and USA can fling at us (Oh hey, sundart... you will not believe this. Freakshow from Harold and Kumar? It's Stabler under really gross makeup. I shit you not.)

And you know, even though I have a shitload of work waiting for me at work tomorrow, I'm actually looking vastly forward to going. Helps that all the projects on my plate are both fun and challenging - the trick will just be getting them all DONE.

We'll see how that goes.

* did anyone else have that program? for the Apple IIGS? man, I used to play with that thing for HOURS when I was short.

apparently there's a challenge to do your own "Numa numa" vid...

And then I'll really shut up about this, cause I don't have a webcam... though I probably could piece together something using weebl-stuff clips...

Fuck it's contagious!

sounds eerily familiar, hey?
