2009 In Review Jan. 6th, 2010 @ 09:44 am

It's a bit late I know, but I was at the mercy of my exploding computer. Luckily I had this tucked away. The year in review done in style: The idiots, the champions, and the morons.

I think my favorite is watching the President whack the bejeezus out of that fly. There’s nothing better than the leader of the free world when he betters an insect.

I'm in class at the end of the day. Yesterday they made me want to kill them and quit teaching. Today they are being very good. Go figure. It's like babies I suppose, they cry and squall until you can't stand it then they do something so precious that you wouldn't trade them for all the tea in China. Go figger

Love you all

Don't you love the picture that You Tube decided to freeze? If you didn't know this was a PSA, you'd swear I was doing a commercial for Depends.

I look absolutely insane.

Here's to Season of Concern. Please do what you can to see that this miracle of an organization stays afloat.

The Obama administration has appointed transwoman Amanda Simpson to a position in the Department of Commerce, the first such hiring by a U.S. president.

Amanda Simpson, who has served on NCTE’s Board of Directors for the past 3 years, has been appointed by the Obama Administration as a Senior Technical Advisor to the Department of Commerce. She’ll be working in the Bureau of Industry and Security. I’m truly honored to have received this appointment and am eager and excited about this opportunity that is before me. And at the same time, as one of the first transgender presidential appointees to the federal government, I hope that I will soon be one of hundreds, and that this appointment opens future opportunities for many others.” Simpson brings considerable professional credentials to her new job. For thirty years, she has worked in the aerospace and defense industry, most recently serving as Deputy Director in Advanced Technology Development at Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona. She holds degrees in physics, engineering and business administration along with an extensive flight background. She is a certified flight instructor and test pilot with 20 years of experience.

God on Fox Jan. 3rd, 2010 @ 10:25 pm
[info]abillings


I think the really great news here is that the Fox Channel is turning into the 700 Club. I have this feeling that soon enough it will be a religious based headlines show where faith is even more prominent than it is at the moment, and will be understood and spoken freely that God is in charge, and no one else. Right now it seems to be the elephant in the room. I think people know this already about Fox but no one's really coming out and saying it. But the time is coming. Just look at what happens after this guy chastizes Woods' belief and basically tells us all there's really only one way he can save his soul...because there's really only one religion. It's absolutely mind bending.

Hopefully, this will keep the trend going. Then eventually, they'll be ushered to the back to the News Bus with the rest of the knuckle heads.

Can someone explain me Photobucket? Jan. 2nd, 2010 @ 01:37 pm
[info]xie_xie_xie
I have sporadically used Photobucket to park images I needed to link to when the LJ photo gallery wasn't the right option. Lately I've been seeing other people's images showing a message from Photobucket that so-and-so's account has been inactive for 90 days, so the image is not being displayed.

I can't possibly recall where I have linked to Photobucket images to know if that's the case with mine somewhere.

Does anyone have the scoop on this? Does it mean you just have to log into your acount once every 90 days? Or do you have to upload something? Or... well, what DOES it mean?

Plz help a fangirl out. Thank you!

For those following the adventures of Rage the Kitten as told by my dog Rebel (now transmitting his fic to me psychically from heaven), there is a new Christmas series called "Rage the Kitten Grows Up" that was just completed tonight. It is a story about the holidays, and heroes.

The story begins here and links to each subsequent part are at the end of each installment.

I miss my Rebel but am happy he is able to write even in heaven, and I hope you enjoy his story! Happy New Year from me, and from Rebel in heaven!

When my computer crashed, my life crashed.

Well...maybe I'm being a tad over dramatic, but it felt as if my life crashed. Normal Blogging will resume as soon as I can get my computer out of the hands of the Geeks at Best Buy. I'm now on a friend of mine's and it's hard to pour your heart out when someone's looking over your shoulder drooling and impatient because they're over due for a porn search.

The thing that kills me is all those kids in High School that the Jocks ridiculed and threw down stairs and pummeled with hot dogs at the annual football game, are now saving their collective lives. These guys that head up the computer fixing at Best Buy walk around the store puffed out and charming. What they lack in a sense of humor they make up for in a sense of propriety. I love these guys. And I love the looks in their eyes when a big, burly former adversary wanders in off the street with their electronics dangling from their arms looking like someone just stamped out their camp fire. They have to resign themselves to the geeks.

Justice is revenge.

Story Poem - Bugaboo Redux Opus 2 Jan. 1st, 2010 @ 01:41 pm
[info]squantus
Ok the general idea of this came from a teacher friend who wrote something with these ideas on it, but the poem just wasn't good. Wasn't even readable. Believe me this only stole the idea of a flea dance on a dog. The rest is mine. I am giving this poem to her, hoping it doesn't insult her. She is really a good talented dedicated teacher.

Now Gentle readers, I want your opinion. Hoping this is a fun thing to read to start the new year. Enjoy....

Bugaboo Redux Opus 2

The Bugaboo Ball yes the Bugaboo Ball
Nothing can top the Bugaboo Ball
Nothing can top it, nothing at all
That great flea dance
That chance for romance
That time to shake your pants
At the Bugaboo Ball
At the Bugaboo Ball

Now the Bugaboo Ball is a jamboree
That is very well known to every flea
And every tick that tormented a dog
Would scurry and scuttle out of a bog
And every bug from as far as you’d see
Wished that they could be the flea
That would shake their pants
And win that dance
At the Bugaboo Ball

Now the legend goes that the greatest Ball
Wasn’t the annual soirée in the Fall
But was the fabulous one they say
That fell on the warmest day in May
The day they said Miss Willie Mae Flea
Made her appearance at the jamboree
And all of the gentlemen shook their pants
At what they would call the “Earthquake Dance”
At the Bugaboo Ball

Evening fell on the site of the rite
That would be the place where they danced that night
And the first to arrive to set the scene
Was Mayor Big Jim McFly McFlea
Then Butcher Bob Bug would prepare the grub
With his cleaver that had the gold bug nub
Then the crowd started in as the lights settled low
The came in fast and they sauntered in slow
At the Bugaboo Ball

Young Jimmy Flea was a dandy of a bug
He’s practiced all month just to get a hug
Which was due to the winner of the big bug dance
Awarded to the bug who could shake their pants
From the queen bug of the jamboree
The beautiful, glamorous Willie Mae Flea
The flea that had the golden dress
And amply filled her rhinestone vest
At the Bugaboo Ball

Young Jimmy thought he had a plan
But so did that scoundrel “Flim Flam Sam”
The flea that wore the velvet hat
That lived on the head of an ally cat
And there was “Slickee Boy Bill” who claimed the title
Of Fleatown’s genuine “Matinee Idol”
And a ton of other fleas who would cut the rug
To get themselves a sample of a Willie Mae Hug
At the Bugaboo Ball

At the table of food Butcher Bob gave a show
With his gold nub’d cleaver for the folks below
And the mayor’s pronouncement made everyone wince
But he announced that the dancing should now commence
Then a hush and everyone squealed with glee
At the glamorous arrival of Willie Mae Flea
With a golden gown you could see from afar
And a vest that twinkled like an evening star
At the Bugaboo Ball

The music started when “Musical Sam”
Waved his baton at the “Fleatown Jazz Band”
The dancers, well, they were ready to go
And everyone applauded as they started the show
They shimmied to the left and they shimmied to the right
They backed into the dark, then shimmied to the light
Young Jimmy flea looked over to see
That looking right at him was Willie Mae Flea
At the Bugaboo Ball

The dancing had the dance floor starting to bounce
Jimmy was giving it every ounce
The first to drop was “Slickee Boy Bill”
He had the idol looks but not the will
He settled in with pretty Eliza Flea
And as they left she told the crowd “He’ll marry me”
Then “Flim Flam Sam” tried a dirty prank
But security gave his collar a yank
At the Bugaboo Ball

Still giving his all was Young Jimmy Flea
And eyeing him now for all to see
Willie Mae sighed as he shook his pants
And did the impossible “Shimmie Flea Dance”
He shimmied to the left and he shimmied to the right
He backed into the dark, then shimmied to the light
He twisted around like falling off a log
And the dance floor was jumping like a startled frog
At the Bugaboo Ball

Now there was something that they didn’t see
It wasn’t real apparent to the average flea
While Young Jimmie Flea hopped and shook his pants
And did the impossible “Shimmie Flea Dance”
Had they had to have the chance to stare straight up
They could see that the dance was on the head of a pup
And the pups tired owners lead him down an itchy path
To the great big tub for a great big bath
At the Bugaboo Ball

At the Ball in the hall it began to rain hard
And soaked the decorations in the big Ball yard
“Musical Sam” kept the band on beat
While lots of festive fleas were washed out of their seat
Willie Mae Flea didn’t notice all at once at the start
‘Cause Young Jimmie Flea had done stolen her heart
Young Jimmie did a “Shimmie” that really took the cake
Then the whole soiree rolled in a big earth quake
At the Bugaboo Ball

They all shimmied to the left and they shimmied to the right
They flew into the dark, then shimmied out of sight
Old Butcher Bob Bug was flung away from his grub
And never found his cleaver with the gold bug nub
The Mayor of the town Big Jim McFly McFlea
Landed on the yard near an old oak tree
Young Jimmie and sweet Willie Mae avoided all the trouble
Flew off trapped in a shiny soap bubble
At the Bugaboo Ball

Now I can tell the tale of the Bugaboo dance
Because I was there to shake my pants
I didn’t want the attentions of Willie Mae Flea
Because another little buggle was sweet on me
We both were soaked on that warm spring day
And we both got married by the end of May
But we laugh when we think of when our pants got shook
And the Earthquake Dance made the record book
At the Bugaboo Ball

This 300-word ficlet (or triple drabble) is the sequel to my "extreme" AU drabble Before Sunrise. Perhaps it's best to read that one to understand this.

This will develop into a series of vignettes.
