It's a fermented beverage. Likening to cough syrup is probably the most complimentary I could ever be about such things; usually I liken them more to gasoline. Or rancid tauntaun bile. I imagine since it's honey wine, it reminded me most of the honey-related cough medicine, I wouldn't say it tasted much like lemons.
So glad the semester is starting on Monday and I won't have to go to work so much.

Survived another week.

Having a RL beer. LIG.

Those charts will still be waiting for me on Monday, ambushing me like Hobbes when I open the office door. For now, they are sleeping. (Yes, like Hobbes.)

Water's on for pasta, waiting for the hubster and boychild to come home. (No, not to go on the pasta, to go AROUND the pasta!)

PR: Have you ever tried creme de cassis? It's blackcurrant liquer. Quite nice and fairly mellow in flavor. It's used *in* things normally like white wine (Kir) or champagne (Kir Royale), but I like it in hot cider and other such bevvies.

Barkeep, I'll have have a Pint o' the good stuff.

Been a strange couple of weeks. Rose was fired from her job of 6 years on New Years eve by her assistant manager. After a few days, she called the store manager and spoke to him.

Rose has her job back

But in the meantime, I think I will keep an eye out for something better for her.

Hey everyone, I'll stop moaning now! How we all doing? Seeing shiney things from HK!

New year, OU work arrived and I'm getting to start early, seeing really good mates this weekend and get to own someone at a computer game for once, ok it's guitar hero and I'm cheating as am drummer but still it counts right? Week after that I'm off to see sis and fiance, getting measured for suits as somehow usher and next weekend, have Christmas present from other half's folks in form of a Red Kite walk.

(Takes a magic drink. Then another.)

I do so love being called "incompetent motherfucker" by a patient. I think it shall become my new hobby.

(Reaches for a third drink, then realizes that a virtual hangover is still no fun.)

I'm going to bed. Then I'm going to work again, and I'll be repeating the process Friday.

Luckily for me a visionary was assassinated before I was born so that someday we could all get Monday off. (That was tasteless bad humor and possibly sacreligious. I KNOW that his death was not a good thing and we get the day off to celebrate his life and work. Nobody has to accuse me of bigotry or disrespect. I think he might actually laugh at the totally wrong humor.) You have to wonder if anybody ever called MLK "incompetent motherfucker". I'd probably feel a little better if they had.

I need to spend a day away from people who come to you for help because they don't have many choices about where to go, then insult you for trying to help them.
I really hope she feels better.
Bitch.

But SR, my magical drinks are just like their RL counterparts but without the hangover so glug away!

In my head he's saying "Watch as the stealthy HK slowly circles her prey, keeping well hidden so she doesn't alarm them. While the Zero is aware of her presence, her patience lures Zero into a false sense of security. HK waits for the perfect moment to pounce."

Shh... take the time while you can to internetz..

re: bellydancing.

I have finally stopped cackling with glee. They are wonderful.

Not exactly tribal, they've come up with their own fusion I think. The costumes take some inspiration from cabaret, and the rest is pure win.
You have got to respect a woman who can do body rolls in knee high boots and stripey over the knee socks with a straight face!

I used to move a little like that. I am definitely out of practice. It's amazing how the human body can move if you let it. Dancing is almost a hard-wired thingy or at least a very persistent meme.

HK: if you were here I'd know exactly where to send you to hook you up with a group to join. It's a good way to warm up in colder climes, so don't let that deter you. Bellydancing could save your life in a power outage/blizzard. You look a little silly shimmying and doing hip-drops in a parka, but it generates a lot of heat.

She's from the highland islands somewhere, so with her accent the words spider and cider are both particularly fantastic to hear.

Evening all,

taking a quick break from OU work, been reading a little but v busy over the last few days.

I would have weighed in on HK's banner dilema but she picked my favourite before I could get there (at least last time I looked). I'm just waiting to see what she puts up there, I've been needing something to wear round my neck since I broke my last chain.

Current obsessions, Amanda Palmer's album Who Killed Amanda Palmer and Alice Munro's collection of short stories, Runaway. Reading lots of them at the mo as looking to enter a short story comp and for once have nearly a final draft, just need to tidy up a couple of bits.

Haven't seen tv show, only just finding time for second series of Being Human, which has been awesome.

I'm really glad someone else didn't like a "good" character. While I have no qualms with Harry, its Hagrid that pisses me off. He's a bumbling fool man-child who is always getting everyone around him nearly killed!

I was sort of hoping he'd get hit in the crossfire at um.. certain parts (I shall say no more)

Ok I didn't mean he should love Harry the character... I meant the books! Harry's not my favorite character either. For sheer enjoyment I'd have to say Fred and George( though occassionally Colin Creevy crakcs me up), but for depth of character and interest SNAPE!!!!!! it might be because Alan Rickman played him in the movies and there's some spill over, but honestly kinda have a crush on Snape.

I love him too!! I always knew about "that past thing". I didn't know the depth of it obviously, but even before that chapter came up. I knew there was something there. You know what I'm talking about...I really like Lucious too.

As for the good people, I love Hermoine and the twins. They're great. The movie twins crack me up.

Oh! I dressed up as Bellatrix for Halloween once. It was fun times, I was thinking of doing it for D*C. But maybe not, the hair took forever.

Sleepy!

should be working but no energy.

Play guitar hero and go to bed is the plan.

Cool dancing HK, good distraction yesterday and I have no idea how they move like that, cool tattoo too.

Agree mostly with comments on HP although I tend to light side things sadly however, and hiding for those who might not want to know

Select to view spoiler:

I have a tendency to prefer heros to die and how much more effective would the ending be if Harry dies to kill the Horcrux and Neville kills Voldemort as well as Nagini (apologise for spellings. Mind you, I think this a lot, I loved Lord of the Rings, pretty much read it every year and still think it would be so much better if Frodo goes into the volcano with the ring and gollum. Not a lot of happy endings in my writing!

@HK: thanks for the offer, but I don't think I would be able to accept a file that large via email. I'm sure I'll be able to find it elsewhere though.

@all the potter peoples: I still don't really fancy reading it, I don't know what it is. It just doesn't grab my interest. And the movies put me off too. Though I'm almost certain that in the event I did read the books that a Slytherin fan I would be. From the little I've saw of the HP stuffs, they're definitely more interesting than harry and chums.

Heh, Avery, I could rant on about Harry and the stupid shit he did, far worse than Hagrid, but don't mean to devolve this Bar & Grill into the Potter B&G...

But...! So... Avery, based on this:

Think we could make him some sort of honorary Slytherin or somethin'?

Navy, I didn't really care for the books, either, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They were very predictable to me. Hell, I could have written the last few and been spot on... with a few obvious (better) differences. XD

As for the movies, I first saw them on TV (when there was nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon) before the 4th movie came out in the theatres. The *only* reason I liked them and continued watching was because of Alan Rickman. His portrayal of the character was, to me, fantastic. Also? He's hot. I think there are a few other cute things about the movies, but all in all, they're very rushed, they leave out a tremendous amount of important details, and they're ever so slightly condescending.... But maybe that's just me. [/perpetuation]

But you're right: we Slytherins are way more interesting. XD

HA!!!!

That is FANTASTIC! Is it sad I didn't even realize it wasn't under her sn??

That made my night.

Thanks!

@HK: I think that is doable. I don't know if he is sinister enough. We may have to give him a few lessons...

@Navy: Just don't wind up in Hufflepuff and you'll be alright.

"...but I was a Hufflepuff according to a quiz..I was also a Gryffindor according to the same quiz... where's a sorting hat when you need one?"

Why does that house name always remind me of "Puffinstuff"? Ah the days of yore with some really whacked-out TV to warp a young and impressionable mind....

Heh. One of my closest friends is Hufflepuff and I always tease him for it. But he's happy to be in it.

He is also pro-werewolf whereas I am on the vampire side.

They should put us in a sitcom and make us roommates.

They've done that one. One guy was a neat freak, the other one was a slob, wacky hijinks ensued and they always ended up best friends again by the end of the ep....

pfft, not sinister enough... I can be sinister... >_> but yeah... I suppose I could be honorary Slytherin.

As for the sitcom thing... by coincidence, I watched the first few episodes of season two of Being Human. Which happens to be about a vampire, werewolf and ghost who share a flat. Hilarity and drama ensues.

LOl Avery... I kinda figured everyone would know it was me.. I mean like NV would ever say eeek

Navy- I shall post pics of Johnny when I get home. I got a few pics of him happily watching Steven Segal Lawman ( which, strangely, he loves) Any time it's on you can't change the channel because Johnny wants to watch it.

Is it Saturday yet????

Got sent to work with a power line crew all week. Problem is, the job site is 70 miles away and I have to be there at 7 AM!!!!

A week of getting up at 4 am (and two days last week too) and I'm toast.

Up at 4 am, out the door before 5, pick up my partner by 5:30, head north and get on site by 6:30 or so. Set up the sign packages and then sit in the truck until the power line crew arrives. Stand in the road for an hour. Pick the signs back up, move them another mile down the road. Set back up and repeat for 10 hours. Drive almost two hours home, get up and do it again the next day.

I'm beat.

Tomorrow (Friday) will be a "normal" day working with the "usual" phone crews close to home. Looks like I may be back up north next week though...

Ugh.
