[i]wily: Larp TV

Today the Space channel arrived on site at Underworld to record a TV spot.

We blew their expectations out of the water!

I dressed up as a tiger savar (cat race), was ordered around by the matriarch, sprinted through the woods a lot, ate half a chicken with my hands, ate an eighth of watermelon, did makeup for NPCs, dressed as a wraith and slaughtered a shield wall of PCs, took a volley of arrows, yelled, laughed, and played!

When Underworld finished, me and Paris went to Fantasy Alive and NPC'd as demons and slaves. We screamed, yelled, and mocked the PCs.

Today was a good day.

*Although worth noting that the UW larp spot will be on tv in about 2 weeks. I'll post a link to it, I'm sure.

[i]equusmaximus: Back on the farm...

  Well, more correctly, staying with our host in town.  Six hours doesn't sound like too long of a drive, but when you're seated perfectly straight, and with little wiggle-room due to the amount of cargo crammed in with you, it's more than long enough.  My muscles are finally relaxing again, and I'm nowhere near as cramped up as I was two hours ago.  :)
 
     This is a short trip, the main goal this time being to deliver more stuff, and tear up the hallway carpet in the farmhouse.  We couldn't tear it up last time, because this carpet is glued down, whereas the bedroom carpets had been tacked down.  We brought our steam-cleaner with us this time; a small device about the size of a large kettle with a high-pressure hose and nozzle attached to it.  In theory, by slipping the nozzle under the carpet we should be able to get the glue to let go so we can rip up the carpet.  Here's hoping.  The steamer will also be a big help in removing the old wall-paper from the bedrooms.  Trickstir's mom is also coming to help with the cleaning, now that we have water (and hot water) on the farm to do some proper cleaning with!  I want to get the basement floors scrubbed, and set up some storage cabinets before we leave.  Also need to mow the lawn again, I'm sure.
 
     For now though, it's just time to relax.  Tomorrow it all begins again...  %)

[i]cargoweasel: Race Day

It's tomorrow. My bike is clean and oiled and checked into transition, I'm carb-loaded and glycogen stores are high. I'm as ready as I'm going to be.

So, a little motivational music.



(note to [info]boixboi - I'd have put up that Backyardigans clip but youtube pulled it down. :P)

[i]furr_a_bruin: Rubbers

The car's at a nearby tire shop being re-shod; as the existing tires were 6 years old with 40,000+ miles on them, I decided to go for a complete new set. Unfortunately, the tires I had - Bridgestone Turanza LS-H - are no longer made in the size for my car. Interestingly, the tire I was offered - BFGoodrich Traction T/A H - were the ones I was looking at last night that got good ratings, so I'm pretty happy with what I'm getting.

I suppose I'm actually lucky that it wasn't a front tire that failed; that might have produced a loss of control and resulted in an accident....

[i]soappuppy:

Just a little moment from my World of Warcraft life, because it was so perfectly timed:

On my 70 holy priest, I am trying to slog through a series of quests which will allow me to ditch my profoundly ugly lioncatbirdthing and ride a dragon. Unfortunately, I've hit a snag: one of the quests involves simple collection of items ("crystals"), but there's a catch -- every single crystal is behind a group of three angry mobs. Not only are they angry, but they have a fun little spell interrupt and full-school lockdown -- fighting three of them at once guarantees that my two schools of spells (holy and shadow) are on lockdown the entire time and I become a melee priest, with a life expectancy of about four seconds.

So I'm flying around the little island where these groups of three mobs are, trying to find an unguarded crystal, because they do exist here and there. The mobs that guard them are quest targets for another quest, and occasionally some other class comes along and kills them. In the few precious seconds while they're dead, I can jump in and get my stupid crystals.

I've taken about three weeks to do this quest, because errors in calculation involve my dying in so many exciting ways. I have painstakingly gathered 10 out of 12 of these damn things, and at last I spy a crystal which seems to only have two out of the normal three mobs at it. I can land on the side with no mobs and maybe get the damn thing without aggro. I land my flying mount, wait to make sure nothing hits me (I've already landed at a crystal to be pounced by three bugged, invisible mobs, which I could neither attack nor target but which could damn sure hit me), and, when nothing hits me, I dismount and start dealing with the crystal.

In mid-fiddle, I am pounced by a mob that spawns on me -- there's supposed to be a 3-second delay before an aggressive mob aggros something when it spawns, but something about lag lets them actually come into the game very bitchy -- and I beat the thing to death with my wand over the course of three minutes (holy priest in holy gear with holy school on lockout...suckage....), screaming obscenities at the game makers. Finally, the thing dies, I triumphantly grab the crystal, and a guy doing that other quest comes down and kills the other two mobs at the node.

[i]wotan_tyger: Health Hustle!

Just wondering if anyone else out there is old enough to remember the Health Hustle?
For those, who don't know, it was a program that was in place in public schools (K-6) in Ontario during the seventies and early eighties.
It was first thing in the morning, and all the students would basically do fifteen minutes of calisthenics to taped music. To this day, I remember all of the songs they played on the tape they used for that.

The first song was "Popcorn" by Hot Butter. You would do the head exercises, and the stretching exercises during that.

The second song was always "Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night, which typically had you doing jumping jacks and arm exercises.

The third song was "Love Will Keep us Together" by The Captain & Tenille

The fourth song was "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" by Tony Orlando & Dawn, and this had the students doing burpees and then jogging in place.

The fifth (and final) song was "Una Paloma Blanca" by the George Baker Selection, which was the final, stretch-out exercises.

The thing I remember most about the health hustle was that it actually made the idea of exercising somewhat fun, unlike gym (or "PT" as they called it, short for 'physical training'... Although I started calling it 'physical torture', in third grade, and got myself detention for that). I hated PT because it was just a testosterone-fest, and dick-waving for the asshole jocks, and I LOATHED it.

[i]cargoweasel: Dr Horrible

It's a perfect storm of geekery, but it's also really good. And Act III is up! Go watch it now and come back! They're taking the videos down tomorrow so there's not much time! Hurry!

spoilers behind cut for those who have seen it )

If you liked Dr Horrible, I strongly strongly recommend the novel "Soon I Will Be Invincible", by Austin Grossman, which covers much the same ground, of an aspiring supervillain and his life amidst a comic-book world much like ours, but with more death rays and zeppelins.

[i]potoroo: why I hate the creative bug...

Whenever I wake up early cause I have to go to work...I want to record.

When work gets hectic and I'm caught up in the chaos, I want to record.

I want to record when I have other plans.

The best time to start on a new song seems to be when I'm exhausted and have to crash.

When I have a whole weekend off...the house to myself...no other distractions...I can't think of anything to do!

So I'm trying to make my studio more 'office' like, less cluttered, always ready to click a button and lay down a track. Recording for me has always been a specific process...build up a dozen songs in my head, start gradually, get excited, and go on a month long recording binge.

I'm hoping to have at least three new songs down by Feral, but it'll only work if that fuckin bug starts biting me at the right time!

[i]kutztowndragon posting in [i]furry_musicians: Drummer Reporting

Hi, I just joined. I was in marching band in high school but lost interest in playing until I finished college. Now I bang on an old set I bought from a freind for $60. It sounds like wet cardboard and scrap metal.

Simple beats are my game since I just noodle about when I'm bored but I'd welcome getting together and playing with people in the PA or Jersey Area.

My sloppy wailing

[i]furr_a_bruin: Pass This Video Around

Given that so much of his effort has gone into subverting the rule of law, it would be all a-glisten with irony if he were simply grabbed, shoved to his knees and given the hot lead injection to the base of the skull that all traitors deserve.

Short of him getting what he really deserves, my problem with him being sent to jail is that he'd probably be sent to some relatively posh low-security facility for white-collar offenders, when what he really needs is to be squealing into a pillow during every night's gang rape for the rest of his life.

[i]equusmaximus: And it's all good, sorta...

    A friend came over and helped me pick up the hardwood flooring from Home Despot, though by the time we got to the store it had started to rain.  By the time the store found my order (they had moved it away from the shipping area, and hid it somewhere) it was a full-fledged storm with plenty of lightning and lots of rain.  I had decided to go with the Ford Explorer rather than risking taking the truck, as the Explorer has en enclosed cargo area.  It was definitely loaded down with the weight of 20 cases of hardwood flooring, but it wasn't completely loaded down - there was still some bounce in the suspension.  We got it back home, and though it was storming in the south part of the city, it had already passed through the north so it was cloudy but dry at the house.  We ordered pizza, and unloaded the boxes while waiting for it to arrive.
 
     I called Sears to let them know my truck was giving me trouble, and that I wouldn't be able to pick up the washer and dryer today like I was supposed to.  Turns out this works out OK, since they haven't received it yet either!  Perhaps this is why I was having trouble with the truck earlier this week.  I'm annoyed with the truck problems, but I would have been far more annoyed if I had everything ready and Sears failed to deliver the goods on the day they promised to have it.  They said that they would have it on Wednesday, so picking it up on Friday would be no problem.  Fortunately my schedule is pretty flexible, so this isn't an issue, but it certainly could have been otherwise.
 
     I'd probably be more bitchy about this if I wasn't so full of ohhhh-so-delicious "Steak & Mushroom Melt" pizza from Panago.  That is one thing I will really miss out on the farm.  Probably for the best though, I can easily scarf down a whole pizza by myself, and that's really not good for the old waistline...  Still, for now...   NOMNOMNOMNOM!!!!  :)

[i]halex: Foot updated

I saw the surgeon today and after he analyzed both x-rays he said that he agreed with my PCP that it’s far more likely that I did not in fact refractured the bone. He said at this point he believed that what is causing my pain was a “tweaked” nerve, tendon, muscle, or event the old fracture itself.

He also said that at this point he did not see me as a good candidate for surgery due to my young age and instructed me to slowly start putting weight back on the foot and then in a couple weeks I should be back to normal. I am also scheduled to go back in next Wednesday for further x-rays to confirm his diagnosis.

So it looks like I’m going to be back on my feet a lot sooner then I thought, just in time to go out for some nice long rides on the bike :)

[i]furr_a_bruin: [Many Expletives Deleted]

Where do I start?

This morning on the way to court, part of the plastic liner inside the front driver's side wheel well comes loose and starts rubbing against the tire. This means I had to pull off the freeway and cut loose the piece that was rubbing - thank goodness I had a serviceable cutting tool in the car (the razor blade in one of those little paint scrapers).

At court, I got called into the jury box as a replacement for someone who was excused. After they got through all 18 of us, a number were excused by the court and each attorney exercised a peremptory challenge; none of those was me. So, 7 new people from the pool were called up and the whole fucking thing starts all over again.

So I still don't know if I'm going to be stuck on this jury, but it's not looking good. A particular charge in this case is something I've experienced personally and given that history, I honestly stated that I don't think I could be fair on that point. So - who knows? It all boils down to how many of the new 7 are acceptable, they might come back to me - I just don't know.

Then, on the drive home - the driver's side rear tire completely fails. Except I don't realize that because I thought it was the stupid front wheel well liner thing again, until a driver of an 18-wheeler starts honking at me. Thank goodness for AAA, but after driving who knows how long after the tire failed (the AAA guy said it looked like I hit or drove over something that caused the failure) I have no idea if the rim is going to be usable. And obviously - I'm going to have to buy a PAIR of new tires to keep the sets matched. This isn't an expense I need....

So, on a scale of rotten days where 0 is an average day and 10 is like the day I found out my mother was dying... I'd call this somewhere around 7 or 8.

Yes, it could be worse, but it still stinks pretty high. Oh, and I discovered a message on my answering machine from one of my Dr's colleagues (my Dr. is on vacation), presumably about my lab work. I wonder what bad news is waiting for me there....

Since the tire stores are closed now, the one remaining question in my mind is: L-theanine, Jack Black - or both?
