6:03 PM, and I've been working on the MoME awards design. And, we've got snow.

MoME 2009 is over. Congratulations to the winners!

The Sons of Fëanor re-embodied in the beginning of the Fourth Age? Yes, for The Maedhros and Tygarya Saga – and, as fire-hearted as ever!

On my way to Minas Tirith on the Walk to Rivendell and Beyond !

It is 9:23am PST and I hope everyone has a great day!!! I am off to work very soon. WOW!!! My neighbor just did something that shocks and surprises me in a very good way. The wind is blowing like crazy and it is garbage day. He just came home and took in his trash bins and then walked over and picked mine up that had blown over and brought it up and put it in the carport where it belongs. That was the nicest thing he could have done today!!! I am almost in tears that he would think of us and do that for us. How very kind and sweet!!

10:00 am PST. Rowan, I will say it again. SNOW. And I can't wait to see the MoME awards when they are ready. Vanadarlin', that was so kind of your neighbor!! He deserves a big ol' hug. Sorry we didn't get any time here today, but I know you have work to do. Hope your day goes by fast.

Love is as big or as little as a hug!!

I will always treasure and remember your appreciation. Thank you. -2007 WCA's

Aw, Vana, that's so sweet of him! I love random acts of kindness, they restore my faith in the human race. 11:07 - got a whole day ahead of me with nothing to do but study econ! Surprisingly, I think I'm going to have a good time.

11:30, starting work NOW. (I hope) Tues/Thurs I only have class from 3:30-4:30, so it's my really chill day to relax and finish up stuff. And I like studying for Econ. I really do, it's an interesting course.

12:05 pm PST. Oh man, I really do what to see that. Men Who Stare At Goats, right? It looks outrageous, the clips. My brother is going to go tomorrow night to see it. Clooney is such a nut, and they you have Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges. Gonna be a winner I predict. And what is NOT to love about Ewan? I could see the movie just to LOOK at him and drool. Okay, so you didn't need that.

1:10 pm MST and I should be working . . . Ah yes, random acts of kindness really can make your day. I love hearing stuff like that. Sorry to hear of the snow rowanberry. No further flurries here as yet, and at this time of year, every snow-free day is a gift. I've been waiting for that Goat movie to come out on DVD. That's definitely one we'll rent, it looks a scream. passes Eru a spinach salad . . . I've heard it's "brain food". scoots back to work

You really ought to see a movie like "Goat Staring" in a theater, if it's one that you've decided is gonna be really good. You will never have a chance to see it again like that if you don't. "MST" looks so cool, like "MIST". 220 PM CST b

12:25 pm PST. And Scribbles, I rarely make it to the movie theaters. It REALLY has to be something to move this tookas from the couch on a weekend. But I just might do the matinee thingie on Saturday. Rose, you have got to see the trailer. It looks to be very funny. Watch the full length trailer at the bottom of this website. basilllllly, I agree, but I rarely do go hon. It is more the going by myself that stops me. Not that I have a problem doing it, I have a problem getting motivated to do it, when the couch is oh so comfy and warm at home.

The story behind "Staring at Goats" is true, in case there's anyone who wasn't aware of that fact. Quote: ESP Troopers One of the strangest files reveals the use of psychics as spies. The CIA-financed project-code-named GRILLFLAME-was conducted at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), beginning in the early 1970s. The CIA says its ESP troopers, who used sensory deprivation (left), never produced useful information. Yet the project may still have been a success. It turns out that for two decades Stanford University had also worked on a secret over-the-horizon radar (OHR) system to spot Soviet ICBMs seconds after launch. The OHR system operated at the same microwave frequencies the Soviets believed were responsible for brain waves. For reasons he later said he never understood, OHR inventor Oswald G. Villard Jr. found himself assigned to GRILLFLAME. Some speculate that the ESP troopers were a ruse to divert Soviet spies away from OHR. And besides that, Clooney's movies usually do well. Favorite Clooney movie? His Brother, Where art Thou? 322 PM CST b

1:30 pm PST. LOL you rascal you. Nope not angling for anything actually, well maybe a Clobster or two. For funniest Clooney favorite, I will go with Oh Brother as well. I can watch that movie over and over again and still get a kick out of it and I love Krauss' Down In the River To Pray. We sing that occasionally here at work, the brother, my niece and I. With harmony. We will see if this has the same comedic edge that Brother has. It has the cast for it.

Rose, I haven't read the book, but a friend of mine has, and he said it was simply amazing. It's on my 'to-read' list. Of course, that list is growing ever longer... Scribbles, the movie premiers tomorrow, so if you wait until it's on DVD, it might be a while. rwhen, thanks for the link! I really want to go see it now. Perhaps tomorrow after my big midterm? We'll see. It's 17:30, I'm at my usual spot of studying in the Forestry building except I usually go after hours. It's so busy now! I barely found a spot.

8:59 pm MST and Eru, I don't mind waiting for the movie to be released on DVD. It's not like it will have morphed into a different film if I don't see it in the theatres . . . basil darlin', I agree with you partly. I always try to see Sci-Fi or Fantasy films on the BIG SCREEN, simply to appreciate the scale. But for more ordinary films, our Big Screen TV does just fine for me.

3:25 PM, and I'm still at work for half an hour or so. I've got everything necessary done for today, so I popped in to see if anybody's around, especially because I'll get here rather late this evening.

7am PST. Trying to get the brother out the door, he has an appointment in Beaverton, almost an hour away with traffic, at 8am. It IS Friday!!! Very happy about that to be sure. Get through this eight hours and two days of sprawl. Only real plans are to check the restaurant and home stuff. Laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning and cooking. Vanadarlin', you have a tough schedule ahead of you with the inventory thing. Keep your strength up as best you can. Rowan, see you later then? Scribbles, my brother has a huge TV screen and people are life sized on it, so to me that is very similar to seeing it on the theater screen too. I am getting a 47" sometime soon and in my little flat, it will seem giganticus!! Eru, good luck on the mid term today!! And don't spend that $20 all in one place.

Igt is 10:33am PST and I am online for a bit before work. I got paid today and found out that someone changed my time of starting on the preceding two Tuesdays so that I got shorted by an hour and a half. I am taking it up with the manager this afternoon when he comes in. I am not happy and can not figure out why anyone would do that to me.

10:35 am PST. Hey Vanadarlin'. Sorry that you got shorted on your paycheck, that really bites. I am sure they will make it up to you, but probably not until the next pay period. Is there a person that actually enters your time for you or do you clock in and out????

We clock in and out but the Managers can over ride it and change anyone's time if we want. WE can add or change someone's punch in or out if they forget to or it was incorrect but to change mine by 45 minutes two weeks in a row when I am the one who opens so it can not be disputed when I am there. I have the key to let everyone in and two others were clocked in at 8 am both days.

11:40 am PST. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense at all. Hopefully your can talk it through with the manager dude and get it all worked out. I have said to my brother many times, you can mess with me in a ton of ways, but one way is NOT my paycheck. THAT is why we work. He doesn't get it. But honestly, why do people work? To get paid.
