Where did everybody go?

I can now be found here:  Colorful Metaphors

See ya there!

I think it's time for a makeover.

Not a style one, although that would be cool, I think it's time to change things up around here.

I've gotten so negative lately. That needs to stop. I don't know when I turned into a stark raving bitch, but that also needs to end.

So my attitude adjustment will start here, on ye olde blog. I mean look at it! That title? Pretty darn negative, but I guess that's where I was at the time.

So stay tuned. I'll past directions to the new place when I get moved in.

This is a test. I am testing the mobile blogging function of Blogger.

This should scare you because I have my most random thoughts in the parent pick up line, which is where I am now.

The bigger question to me is how long of a post I can do. Let's find out shall we?

Thank goodness for people with too much time on their hands...

Or else I would have nothing to post today.  This is really good for a Monday chuckle.



You're welcome.

A new Friday meme...

I want to get back into the habit of posting more frequently because I hate disappointing my fan.  But sometimes I just don't have enough for an entire post, which is why I like facebook so much.  Anyway, the I saw Friday Fragments over at Kori's place and I figured that I could do this.  Gives me something to do while I'm convserving energy for tonight's concert.

*  Austin has the best bumper stickers.  Like this one:  Knowledge is power.  Power corrupts.  Study hard.  Be evil.

*  Best name for a computer related business:  Heroic Efforts Data Recovery Services

*  The shopping center I went to last night had a Gold's Gym, three diet centers, and a Carl's Jr.

*  I wake up in a cold sweat about the silent auction I'm trying to pull off.  If I screw this up I am so out of a job.  Gulp.

*  I figured out that I will only see Thing 1 for 11 days in July.  Between Boy Scout camp, church camp, my HS reunion, and Youth Gathering, we're just not going to see each other much.  That's probably a good thing.

*  Thing 1 wants to play tuba.  TUBA.  Where the eff did THAT come from?  Is this karmic justice for me working my way through the brass section in high school?

*  The elliptical trainer is busted.  Which means I can't watch Heroes.  Which means I can't get my ZQ fix.   Grrr.

Okay then.  That's enough for now.  See ya later!  Have a good weekend. :)

Cause I know you are wondering...

Does Mel really play in an orchestra, or is that just all a load of hooey?

Why yes.  Yes I do.  And you can hear us right here!

That wasn't our best piece off of the last concert, but it was the best recording, if that makes any sense.  Enjoy!

My glass house. Part II

A few months back, you may recall a movie that came out.  Something about vampires, I don't know.  Sparkling vampires aren't my cup of tea.  And I was a little embarrassed for some people out there (coughCityGirlcough) who were totally lusting after someone who was about half of their age.  I kept thinking that these ladies really needed to get a grip.

Ahem.  Well.  I must apologize to you now.  For I have seen Star Trek and I must say that Spock is hot.  I already kind of knew that from when he played Sylar on Heroes, but he was pretty darn hawt as Spock.  I mean, if Princess Penelope thinks he's hot and will consider seeing a sci-fi movie just to see him, you know it's something.  

I know.  It's embarrassing.  But at least we were born in the same decade and no one would mistake me for his mom.  And yeah, there's a better than average chance he's gay (God, it pains me to type that) but at least he looks like he takes a shower, unlike RP.

So, go ahead and cast your stones.  I'm waiting.  :)  But look at this and tell me that I'm wrong:

And what does it say about me that two of my four starcrushes are from the Star Trek realm?  The others are Patrick Stewart, Daniel Craig, and Hugh Jackman.  

Updated to add:  Jamie Bamber and David Tenant.  OMG, BSG and Dr. Who.  I'm such a geek!  Thanks to Jen for reminding me of that one. :)
