Morning

It's chocolate day!!

Other than that I'm not sure anything exciting is going to happen today. Which is good. Oh, I need to bake an extra loaf of bread.

The cat seems to be glued to the radiator. I think she may have something there.

Anybody ever seen a pilot episode for a TV show called Continuum???

Awesome! I am now unfortunately hooked, and I will have to Hulu it

Saw most of the first season due to working on it. Second season starts soon, I believe. It's pretty good. Also, it has Victor Webster. And Mike Dopud. Mike, if you google yourself, call me!

Oh, Les Mis was wonderful. I have One Day More stuck in my head. The company did a great job.

Gentleman friend was very nice, but I'm still not sure if it was a date or just friends hanging out. We'll see what the future holds. Either is fine, actually... It was just really nice to go out and do culture-type things.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE. If he's a gentleman, he won't let on that he wants to tear your clothes off at first.

_Sian_ said:

Oh, yay. It's not just me who can't tell the difference between something being a date, and a friendly night out.

I never have any clue. And I don't want to ask in case I get it wrong XD

All these people getting dates. *feels dateless*

Feel free, but wrap up warm. According to our outside thermometer it's -7C. You can't see further than a few feet up the street due to the freezing fog.

I am absatively posilutely not going anywhere in that.

Want me to send you another box?

Writing course! Is jealous.

Enjoy yourself - maybe you'll find a date.

No dates. They all turned out to be hanging out with friend affairs. This is why I'm clueless with this stuff, lack of experience.

Yes please! Stuffed with bacon and cream cheese and garlic, nom.

Whoa. Wait. I was told writing courses were frequented by women. I can't write in front of men, omg.

You can be the secretary of the club Obviously, I am chairwoman

After I'm paid for this week, and the rostered shift for the next two weeks, I will have enough money saved up till last me through till June.

I need to cover through till September, cause when I turn 22, I am "independent" and might actually get some assistance from the government.

But still, this is a start.

I own Asimov books! Woohoo! Now I have those to read... on top of more Song of Ice and Fire...

... I have so much stuff to do.

Oh I envy you. I remember reading those when I was about 14. They really opened my eyes. I wonder how they work out now?

Let me know when you crack one open. I may join in.

Remember - the only people who don't have stuff to do are in cemeteries.

ION, freezing fog gone, sun out for a while. All the cobwebs are laden with ice. It really looks nice. Now at a balmy (barmy) high of -3.2. Wow!

Wonders how hot it is where Sian is.

Anyone for brandy laden hot chocolate with a bar of chocolate on the side?

It is 11pm atm, and currently... 28C here. 82F. At almost midnight.

I don't think we'll hit our low of 20C (68F) till it's tomorrow.

I can seriously see why birds migrate.

It does make sense, doesn't it

It does when the expected high is -2C.

Hey Angel, which books did you buy then?

*shares cocoa products around cantina*

That's actually a pretty good place to start. When you have read through some of his fiction, I recommend you look out for his non-fiction as well. The man knew how to make complex ideas simple enough - and it could be argued that he popularized a lot of the pop-science books out there these days.

I saw a big anthology of lots of his other work outside of the Foundation series, so if I like Foundation I'm probably going to check that out next, because after watching the episode about him on Prophets of Science Fiction I really want to read some of his stuff about robotics because it looks absolutely amazing.

But I'll make a note to look into his non-fiction as well. God knows I need a scientific education anyway, might as well get it from one of the masters of the sci-fi genre.

Brr. It will be 8 here in a few days. 8F. The warhorse will need extra noms.

Kinda hard for kiwis and such. Besides, birds move for food and food filled breeding areas. They are rather stoic about the cold. I had a sea of red cardinals in my yard yesterday afternoon.

Oh. They changed the forcast. Three nights below 20 but nothing near 8.

Yeah, it's not available on Hulu yet, nor is the rest of it available on itunes. *shrug* Guess I'll just have to wait for more episodes to be released on one or the other.

It's been in the 18-25 range for over a week - now back to 30s at night. Yay.

Protestant work ethic is kicking in. Stupid thing.

The other 92% of my brain is revolting. {I dare you...}

I either need to do something different or get some motivation.

Gais. Halp!

I may have to open a bottle tonight. This diet is killing me. I did my treadmill today, so I should get wine, right? Right?!

That's exactly how the math works.

Fun fact: You can ask someone out. No kidding. Just find a guy/girl you like, ask them out, go out, high-five yourself for being awesome. And if it doesn't work or there are no sparks, find someone else. Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

For serious, everyone here is a smart, funny cookie and trust me, the world is packed with bland, humorless morons. That means you are a catch. So get out there and have faith that you are, in fact, kick-ass. And if someone doesn't see that, then chances are you wouldn't be happy with them anyway.

It worked for me.

Good Morning Friends!

I have chocolate milk right now and a nice chocolate bar waiting for me later. I'll eat that as a reward for getting cleaning done. Because if Little K gets a cookie for going potty I should get something too.

ION, I did not write last night. Sleep felt more important.

Sleep?!?! We don't need no stinkin' sleep!
