jetcatt for the Amazon gift certificate, feyandstrange and digitalsidhe for the Zod beret (which the General has promised he'd wear when he cleans house on two comic book companies, once he's in power), and ren_wench for her contribution to Zod's Oreo fund ;-)Tonight Johanna is making her chicken in mustard sauce, and Tuesday my sister and her boyfriend are taking us to our favorite sushi place, so for birthday dinners I'm pretty well covered.

Don't worry...I'm not planning on doing anything stupid. I just wish the stress would ease off a little bit. Just for a change.
- Mood: stressed
Especially when you have the energy level of a three-month old sloth.
Short version is that we got maybe half the stuff in the house shifted this last weekend, with a lot of help, and we still not only have more books (where in the hell did they all COME from?), but we also have appliances and furniture left to go. We've got a big truck scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, but we could use some physical help those days, if you're a mind to give it.
Also, as
britgeekgrrl mentioned on her LJ, we could also use some help packing things during the actual week, for which we would be willing to pay (I think she mentioned $6 an hour?), as iamradar will be at work and can't assist.Anyone willing? We'd owe you big big, that's for sure.

britgeekgrrl and I gots the best friends in the world, and I'll defend that opinion to the death.- Mood: awake
koga and xeyda bought me a full-on "Adults 4 Day Plus Preview Night" membership to Comic-Con. I've been hanging onto it in the desperate hope that I could figure out a way to go, what with the money crunch and all. Now, just as I was beginning to look into either getting koga and xeyda a refund, or rolling the membership to next year, a fairy godmother (who shall go nameless for now) has offered a Southwest ticket for July that s/he can't use.All I need to do now is figure out accomodations. Anyone know anyone who could use a roomie? I wouldn't be able to throw much in, but I also take up very little room and I'm good for feeding myself.
The thing is, I need to know before Friday if possible, as that's the last (official) day for me to get a refund. I'll still be able to roll the ticket to next year or to switch it to someone else's name, but if my friends want cash back, the 19th is the last day I can do it.
Help?

the_ogre, this "abridged script" for the new film pretty much summarizes everything I didn't like about the movie, and it's pretty damned funny, too.- Mood: cranky

...Well, it sucked.
I may have had too much of an emotional investment in it going in, given my deep and abiding love of all things Trek from nearly the day I was born. Maybe I was in a bad head space from stress. I dunno. What I do know is that from about two minutes in, I realized I couldn't connect on any level with what I was watching, beyond "whoa, those are some pretty effects."
I *do* agree that Karl Urban was born to play Dr. McCoy, though.
I may have to watch it again, and see if I feel differently. But for now, Joe Bob Alex says "save your money for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

Don't say I never did nothin' for you.
- Mood: bored
I love my hobbies. ;-)
Oh yeah, and before I forget, I'll actually be staying at the con, thanks to
caramida offering me floor space. So at least I don't have to haul ass back and forth from the house, and I can now indulge in the partying a bit more than I was planning.I swear, if I don't have fun this weekend, there's no help for me anymore.

I got up from bed to see what the results were. With 86% of the counties tallied, I see no hope of Prop. 8 not being carried through. Congratulations. You're well on your way to getting the government you truly deserve. Maybe I'll move back to Kansas. They may be batshit loony Red Staters, but they haven't curtailed Constitutional rights...yet.

That's right. He will. So you and all your mouth-breathing brethren and sistren (is that a word?) should just stay at home today. Let God do all the heavy lifting for you. The rest of us heathens will be lining up over here at our polling stations, in case you need anything.
If I've said it once, I've said it at least three times. Go and vote, motherfu@kers, if you haven't already. But please, make it an informed decision. If you're going to go and just pencil-whip the ballot, go sit with the brethren and sistren, OK? We don't need your help. that badly.

All existing lymph nodes are shrinking or are gone, there are no new tumors, and the area of concern in my liver is also responding well and shrinking rapidly. Combined with the blood test results I've been getting (CEA's are down to 3.3 and falling), I could be technically cancer-free by December.
On the flip side, I've discovered other things that my idiot former oncologist didn't tell me about, but they aren't anything to get excited about at all. Just general health things that he once again glossed over. I think I'll run him over with the car if I see him again. Just because.
