They might be Giants

it's my oldest's birthday, I am taking her to stuff a bear and dress it up, then we are going out to the "make your ice cream in front of you" shop and eating some ice cream, then when we get home her dad is making her favorite dinner and a cake (shhhh, it's a surprise)

The Dilbert Principle, got it yesterday.

whatcha eating for dinner?
KFC :D

whatcha listening to?

whatcha doing tomorrow?
Going on holiday :D

1. Nothing currently. (Just finished one)

2. Don't know.

3. Nothing at the moment.

4. Don't know.

How interesting ;)

Reading? The Lord of the Rings. It was time again. And a couple of books on evolution. And a volume of the stuff published during the debate on the constitution. Plus magazines and the paper.

Dinner? Hmm ... got a couple leftover pork chops and some tuna salad from a couple days ago ... and whatever else is in the fridge.

Listening? I need to attend to that, haven't been listening to music much lately. I'm old so I like classicl and jazz and early rock and roll (I keep hearing my father laughing when I make a disparaging remark about modern rock :rolleyes: )

Tomorrow? The house needs a brush-up, and it's my lady's mother's 71st, so we're going to the in-laws for a barbeque and family togetherness (I plan to drink a lot :p )

1) my new hobby reading the back of cereal packets

2) depends if I can find someone willing to cook

3) Death from Above

4) its a Saturday so drinking followed by winding my mate up who thinks I’m seeing his girlfriend (I wish;) )

Can someone tell me to tap that barrel?

1.- "The mysterious flame of queen Loana" (more like La misteriosa llama de la reina Loana), by mberto Eco. It's his latest book, and he's my favourite author, with former books as "The name of the Rose", "the island of the day before" and "the Foucault's pendulum", along with plenty of essays and theories about the current society.

2.- Friday's night, so I am going out, so I guess it will be, if I am feeling like having a healthy dinner, japanese Ichiban restaurant. Or, if I am feeling more...fleshy, Tony Roma's famous for ribs :D (also depends on the financial status of my companion. Tony Roma's is quite more expensive than Ichiban)

3.- The soundtrack from the movie "Closer". I was listening to the seventh symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven before that.

4.- AXN channel made a contest for the best action short film, and several friends got a script idea. They invited me to a casting and selected me as their "heroine", so I'll be shooting several action sequences all day, yay! I guess ill also have to write some pieces of work for monday, but I'll have time for that later at night.

whatcha reading? 1984

whatcha eating for dinner? I have no idea

whatcha doing tomorrow? Going to a party/bbq/sleepover. May the alcohol flow and the girls beautiful so there isn't a lot of sleeping during the sleeping part ;)

1. The Lazarus vendetta by robert Ludlum (i just wanted a book with guns and needless death, this book has it, 2000 have just dissolveed into slime ;) )

2. Sandwich probably

3. DragonForce

4. Wasting time on NSG :p

1. The Three Musketeers. Again. Beause I like it.

2. Dinner, right? This question was about dinner? I have no clue what I am having for dinner. It's 9:30 a.m. Much to early to think about eating at all, much less dinner.

3. Currently...the album "Round Room", by Phish.

4. What am I doing tomorrow? Well... I have a friend's party to go to (its her birthday). So...yeah. Going to this small party. And sleeping. Cause I didn't last night, and habitually do not go to bed before midnight.

Listening to: One Nation Under a Groove by George Clinton.

Tomorrow: I'm going to someone's wedding with my girlfriend. The biggest reason I'm going is so she can use me as an excuse to leave by saying I have to work or something.

The Producers - Betrayed (Original Broadway Recording)

whatcha doing tomorrow?
Sleeping

Getting up very early to catch a train to Berlin. And hopefully studying... Don't. It's too fucking hot here. :(
Also, what's an Atmosphere class?


Reading: Artemis Fowl - The Opal Deception (thought I'd buy some Harry Potter substitute for a recent loooooong train ride, but it ended up being way less well-written/interesting/everything than Harry Potter. But still - can't finish now, can I? So I'm at book four now. :rolleyes:)

Dinner: Dunno. Just had a fruit salad of peaches, strawberries and raspberries. Did I mention that it's hot?

Listening: Radio.

Tomorrow: Getting up way too early to quickly slip out of the house and run some errands before the heat gets too crazy again. I hate this weather. Hate it. I should do the laundry, but if I put it up to dry, the humidity will make breathing even more impossible than it already is.
I will totally buy a fan tomorrow.

Also, what's an Atmosphere class? I hardly have any choice in the matter. There's things I need to get done in Berlin. At least I'm leaving early in the morning (and no, here isn't much better...)

Integrated Abiotic Resource Protection - Part Atmosphere

There's four parts: Soil, Hydrology, Limnology, and Atmosphere. We have an exam on Atmosphere next week. :(

Reading - The Amber Spy Glass by Phillip Pullman. Already read it but I've run out of new books and the Dark Materials Trilogy was lying around

Dinner - bbq

Listening - I'm in a bit of an Oasis mood at the moment

Tomorrow - Probably recovering from whatever I inflict on mysefl tonight (it is a Friday)

Don't. It's too fucking hot here. :(

Come here, same temp, but air conditioned everywhere :D

The best thing I have bought in ages. Intense entire air aconditioned system at home :D

Reading: At the Mountains of Madness by Lovecraft.

{snip}


The last thing I read was "The Shadow Out of Time" Come to think of it, I don't think I finished it this time. I need to rebuild my Lovecraft collection. I ended up donating my last set to a library when I couldn't move it with me.

There's four parts: Soil, Hydrology, Limnology, and Atmosphere. We have an exam on Atmosphere next week. :( Ugh, I always sucked at climatology. I was born without the "physics" part of the brain, it seems. :rolleyes: But, er, aren't you doing economics or something like that? Surely I would have remembered if it had been something with geography/ecology, wouldn't I?

Biology.

I went to summer school so I didn't have to deal with it anymore.

Why the hell would you choose to study such an evil thing?!

But don't remind me of economics. That's next week too :(

I went into a used bookstore in Ann Arbor a few years ago and cleaned out their entire Lovecraft collection. Best purchase of my life.

I don't know, but somehow you always manage to make me smile.

Because breakfast wins?

the humidity will make breathing even more impossible than it already is.

Pfft, I just checked the weather in Berlin and you have exactly half of the humidity we have here. You can stand a bit more :p

Ah, but see, air conditioning is evil. I can see having it when you live in either a consistently very hot or a hot & humid climate - both not usually applicable here so I'd rather suffer a bit once in a while than using up that much energy. Not that I like it, though. :p I'm currently being reminded that I'm not made for anything over 30°C - and the forecast says it'll stay like this. *whines*

sorry. :( it was 114F (about 45C) here yesterday, it's supposed to "only get up to 110F" today, but my thermometer on my porch already says 107 and it's barely noon.

There is a cold front coming in tonight, it's supposed to be a drastic drop in temp. down to like 95F WHOO HOO!!!!!!! that means I can go mow the lawn and pull out the weeds in my flower beds.

I can't wait until fall, I like the 60's-70's

Pfft, I just checked the weather in Berlin and you have exactly half of the humidity we have here. You can stand a bit more :pDo you have an airconditioner?

Environmental and Resource Management.

But don't remind me of economics. That's next week too :(Boy, did I actually never even know what you're studying? o.O
That's a pretty cool thing to study. What's it called in German? Oh, and how did the maths test go?


Because breakfast wins?That, too.

Pfft, I just checked the weather in Berlin and you have exactly half of the humidity we have here. You can stand a bit more :p Oh shuddup, Mr. "It's only 67%"! And they're totally lying on the internet. I looked up the temperature earlier and they said it was only 30°C - there's no way it was 38° yesterday and only 30° today. They measure that stuff somewhere on the edge of the city, probably in a pool of dry ice under a nice shady tree. :p

Boy, did I actually never even know what you're studying? o.O

reading: nothing.

dinner: fish.

listening: dj tiesto and some other stuff.

tomorrow: work. yay...

It isn't really, since it's all in English. (and don't ask :()
Awwww.:( :fluffle:

Do you have an airconditioner?

Nope, I have a fan, although I just bought it the other day. If it gets really hot there are 5 lakes within 20 miles that I can go hide in until it cools off. AC is really a waste up here, as it snows 4-5 months out of the year and it's really only hot for 3.

I was, like usual, talking to myself before and came to the conclusion that I am now switching from "thank god it's summer" to "I miss snow" mode.

Does it snow in Okiehomie?

I'm sorry, I'm geographicly retarded.

Few people even have fans around here...:( Yeah, sometimes I think we're just gluttons for punishment. :p

Yeah, sometimes I think we're just gluttons for punishment. :pNah, we're just so pessimistic that we believe it will never get warm enough for that here. :p

Reading: Dunno, probably this book by this guy called Snicket

Dinner: Dunno, food no doubt though

Tomorrow: Going on vacation

:eek: OMG. Remind me to add Oklahoma to my list of places never to visit, at least in summer. Michigan is already on there. :p
no you can visit, just you know not in July/August (too hot) or in Jan./Feb. (too cold) or in April/May (tornados)

but other than that it's fine. ;)

oh, but don't come in like March either........or December..... yeah, the weather here sucks, October is nice for about 2 weeks.

I'm sorry, I'm geographicly retarded.
we get ice storms in November and December, flurries in January, and then the "big" snow of the season is usually late Feb./ early March and it's about a foot or so......not much.

Just enough to annoy me with the other drivers, really.

Few people even have fans around here...:(

When I lived in Hesse I could see people not having fans there, but I remember a few days when I was training in Bavaria where I really didn't even want to go outside because it was so hot. One thing that struck me about Germany (Hesse, at least) was the relative lack of real extremes to the weather. It didn't get extremely hot or extremely cold. Sure, it rained a lot, but it just drizzled, which isn't really anything to get worked up over.

Yeah, sometimes I think we're just gluttons for punishment.

Two words: David Hasslehoff.

Here we have like 28-29C right now.

Most of the year is between 20 and 22 C, although

Reading "Black Wind" now.

Havent discussed dinner with wife yet-maybe eat out.
Taking kids to movies tonight.

Taking them to Pocono speedway tommorrow for qualifications, pics & autographs before the Pocono 500 on Sunday.

I forgot any other "watchas?".

Edit: Oh yeah-I'm not listening to anything right now, I'm working.

We've had one of the coldest winters followed by one of the hottest summers.

Yeah, you better study up on that Atmosphere stuff in time to save us all. :(

Oh well, I can always move to Oklahoma for June, September, and half of October.

Or to Argentina, 'cause 20-22°C sounds pretty damn good to me.

Reading: Besides the NSG forum, nothing really. Plan to start reading Canterbury Tales though.

Eating for dinner: I dunno. Staff meal at the restaurant. Hope its good. Lately I've been hungry a lot, then go to eat, and can only eat a few bites before I'm full. I don't know what this means. I hope it means I'll be loosing some weight.

listening to: the hum of the fans.

doing tomorrow: The same thing I do every night, Pinky. Go online, go to work, come home, get back online, sleep. Its a pretty good routine, considering all those who love me irl are out galavanting far away. Except my parents. But going out on the town with them would just be weird.

Up to the cool cool mountain
I hated living in Tucson during Monsoon, my swamp cooler sucked a big one, I dreamed of the time when hubby would come home and we could drive up the mountain and bask in the cooler air (yeah it was still 90F but that's 30 degrees cooler than it was in the valley)

Yeah, you better study up on that Atmosphere stuff in time to save us all. :( Probably too late, actually...

Yeah this was a monsoon season storm too, it came from the south but it was further west than most.

Late one Sunday night after a long day in Globe riding in an observed then going to Phoenix to drop off a bike, I got on I10 thinking I was heading home (to CA). Until I saw the lights of Tuscon and figured out I'd driven about 60 miles in the wrong direction. I was too exhausted at that point to even slap my forehead much less cry. I barely made it home in time to go to work the next morning, where I was completely useless. Ah youth.

Probably too late, actually...

We will probably only lose the Netherlands and Florida. Could be worse

Wanna go tell that to the Pacific islanders? ;)

We will probably only lose the Netherlands and Florida. Could be worseActually, I'm more worried about the plankton than the ice caps. Climate change might not take effect in my lifetime, but the acidification of the oceans due to CO2 output is already damaging plankton. And as it was stated in another thread, it just so happens to be the basis of almost every food web in the ocean...
