[CS Lounge] Pining for the Fjords

One of my relatives down there posted a meme that said:

Y’all survive on 3 sodas a day but when a hurricane comes, y’all turn into fish and need 40 cases of water.

Two of those chains don’t exist here, never been to either, but I do like Dr Pepper floats.

In & Out is a small salad, 1000 islands dressing with a thin lean cut of beef and some bread. Made to look like a sandwich.

Doing the Eternal Palace achievement run. It is a lot of fun.

Trying to reset my clock a little bit. I’ve gotten into the bad habit of getting off work in the wee hours and staying up all night, then sleeping during the daylight until it’s time to go back to work. Was awake all day helping my daughter pack up and haul a bunch of seasonal merchandise to their off-site warehouse, and I’m planning to try to stay up till midnight or a bit later before I call it a night.

If I can shift my waking free time to daylight hours, maybe I can get yardwork done more regularly. Plus, I won’t have to be so quiet trying to do household stuff while the rest of the house sleeps.

I’m starting to think maybe I’m getting too damned old to be working this sort of schedule.

I now have Rufflebottom on all Classic realms but two. One where the name is already taken (my fault for not doing this sooner), and the other because I’m not waiting over an hour to get the name. I’ll try another time.

I’m a huge kaiju fan. I pretty much own them all. Especially Toho ones. I freaking loved the new one. It was a great homage to.the classic ones.

Did you know that they slightly altered the sounds of those monsters to use in Super Metroid?

I’m always amused by that phrasing “wrong side of the bed” (I know you put world). Turns out it goes back to Ancient Romans and a superstition they had about which foot they stepped out of bed with, and that being unlucky.

Hope your day gets better.

That is truly interesting. I had always wondered

Every time I see or hear that phrase about “wrong side of the bed”, I visualize someone under the bed instead of on top. Guess it depends on how you classify sides???

So after a nasty day at work, just everyone was at their wits end (the morning, afternoon, and weekend shifts are all staffed to where if one person calls in sick, it is a chaotic nightmare…guess what, somebody called in sick) I got my shopping done, and came home to put a few bags away before i picked my boogie up from school.

Turn the corner to the street next to mine, and the house on the corner of my street has a car half way in its yard, half way down the curb back to the street. Fire truck is there. I STILL cannot figure out what happened based on where I see the skid plate of the car in the road. But the car TORE up my neighbors yard. The ground was already wet, now imagine a car at 30 MPH or so slamming on its brakes. Yeah it dug up his yard pretty good.

I can only imagine how my neighbor feels, cuz I know I would be, well I can’t say it here

I will not be cooking the meal for our anniversary this year, (our 45th).

We have a gift card for the Outback Steakhouse, we don’t often eat out, so it’s been at least twenty years since I’ve enjoyed the Australian cuisine (Australian in much the same way that Panda Express is traditional Chinese cuisine or Olive Garden is a real Italian experience) in one of these places.

I’m actually looking forward to it.

Every life needs some kitsch now and then

EDIT: I do have the Champagne chilled for when we get home; Mumm Cordon Rouge Brut, français not the California version thank you.

Hmm, Dorian just became a CAT 4 hurricane and the new models are predicting it hugging the coast and going over Jacksonville. Our county is now part of the state of emergency declaration from Gov. Kemp.

Best of luck to our Floridian neighbors as this beast makes landfall next week.
