So, in order to do research about a genre, I've gone and ordered a book from Borders. The site said that it would take anywhere from 3-8 days to get here, depending on where the distribution center is. That I'm okay with. If it's coming out of the middle of nowhere, Kansas, I would expect it to take a week.

The book's coming out of New Jersey. Not only that, it's coming out if EDISON, New Jersey...if I'm not mistaken, that's maybe an hour or two away from NYC. It shipped yesterday. Therefor, the expected arrival date is...

July 17th.

...which is the full week.

Okay, it's 5-6 hours straight from NYC to Plattsburgh, not counting pit stops and randomness, but seriously...seven days to get from the middle of New Jersey to the top end of New York? What are they doing, taking it through Times Square?! Hitting every single toll booth in throughout the state of New Jersey?!

I am: amused

The little girl is now named Boo.

I am: blah

I now own two ferrets.
We now possess a spunky little girl, white in color.
...now to find a name. Her current, "Ferret", doesn't exactly work.

I think I have something...something I want to do.
Does anyone know of any online SteamPunk fiction? I'm only vaguely familiar with the themes of this genre; I want to research it a little more before I make any decisions.
Or how about fiction dealing with the "Hollow Earth"? (there's something to keep for your next stint on Jeopardy)

If you can provide, please, now is NOT the time to be withhold this info.
...so to speak. :|

I am: anxious

No, seriously...
Could I have a nice, happy little game with an in-depth crafting system, player customizable housing/bases/lairs/what-have-you that could actually affect gameplay (beyond "heal" and "store crap"), and that actually worries about how well it's written instead of how shiny the graphics are? Oooh! Could we set it in the Shadowrun Seattle or some sort of Steampunk setting too?

It doesn't even have to be an online thing, either. I'll pay whatever the hell you want me to.

Just...give me a damn game that's not a copy-pasta of Warcraft.

I am: bored

...yes, I am quite aware of the implications of having one of these god forsaken things...

Forgot my wallet, my DS didn't have a charge, customers everywhere, couldn't get any work done (that was, of course, because my manager was in)...

Yet, today can be summarized in one simple revelation that I have made, courtesy of the local newspaper:

There are people out there that actually think that we shouldn't have windmills and windmill farms because they think it all creates more wind!

o.O;;

I am: scared

Did I mention Team Fortress 2 is awesome?

I am: amused

So it seems that we need to get Rikki a new barrier.
To keep the fuzzit in the living room/main hall area of the house, we've been using a cardboard barrier to block the door to the kitchen/bedroom (where we DON'T want him) to divide everything.
Today, apparently, the fuzzy learned how to pull that out of the door.

...we need a new barrier. >.>

I am: amused

Fighting terrorists and the Taliban have just become a hell of a lot more fabulous.

Since your accomplishments are seldom noticed, and you are rarely thought of, you are expendable. That doesn't mean your job isn't important but if you were in Star Trek you would be killed off in the first episode you appeared in.

I am: Grr...

...found a new icon...
It pleases me.

Recently, I discovered a series of youtube videos done with action figures - mock-ups of the "I'm a PC and I'm a Mac" commercials done every movie season to compare the Marvel character movies to the DC character movies.

You know, Superman's movie vs Spiderman's movie, The Watchmen vs Wolverine...
Recently, he posted one where Deadpool (the villain from that apparent disappointment of a Wolverine Movie...I'll rant about that when I actually see it) takes on the cast of the Watchmen. As a matter of fact here it is:

It is a little bland up until 1:26, where Deadpool encounters Dr. Manhattan...

I'm a total frickin' geek...

I am: *giggle* Ow *giggle* Ow

I don't know if it's because even a three year old knows how to revive pokemon or the fact that I've been doing this song and dance since game one.
It still made me giggle like nobody's business.

Shortly after posting my previous journal, I remember that I had this saved to my hard drive:

I am: amused

Younger gentleman - about college age, probably from a local frat house - swings by and asks for a TV. 50" plasma penis extension. The box is about chest high to me tall and neck high to me long.

He flashes a large wad of cash, so yes, he can afford it. Fair enough, I go back and fetch the TV.. Take it to the register to ring it out. The following ensues:

Kid: "Say, is this gonna fit in my car?"
Co-worker who's MUCH better with cars than I am: "What kind of car do you have?"
Kid: "A Beetle."
Me: *turns away*
Co-worker: "A...VW Beetle?"
Kid: "Yes."
Co-worker: "I'm gonna say no."

I am: sad
