FAQ -- last updated July 26, 2008:bulletred:

I don't need to compromise my principles because they don't have the slightest bearing on what happens to me anyway. -- Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes

It snowed today. It freaking snowed, when normally we don't get the first snow of the season until mid-to-late December anymore. It shouldn't be snowing in October! And it's been windy and cloudy and generally miserable the past few days as well. Brrr... Kenya does not like the cold...

Other shelver has been sick the past few days, so I've been taking over his job as well as doing mine. I'd hoped to use my spare time at work to get shelves organized, but looks like that's going to have to wait until he gets better. *sigh* Ah well.

Watched Thunderball last night. There's just something amusing about watching James Bond fistfight a guy in drag. :giggle: Also, what's up with Bond villians having a fascination with sharks or cats? If they made some kind of shark-cat mutant mashup, I'm sure the Bond villians would all want one.

We haven't had our washing machine for two weeks and already it's busted. This time we know what caused it, too. One of the hoses sprung a leak, and instead of calling a repairman my stepdad decided to take the thing apart and see if he could find and fix it. Suffice it to say that the washing machine is now in pieces upstairs, and Mom and Stepdad are fighting again. *sigh* And they wonder why I'm cynical about getting married...

Pondering what to do for people for Christmas this year. No, it's not too early to start thinking about this stuff. I have a lot of people to plan for this year -- not only family, both local and faraway family members, but my friends who are scattered all over the country and, in some cases, the globe. Must ponder this... I have an idea, but the question is if it'll ship well at all...

And yes, I'm pondering next year's BotCon already. Hoping to go with :iconstarwarsguru:, and hoping to save up enough money for the trip and ticket. I know I'm going for the Primus package (totally worth it), but I'm not sure how to cut back on other expenses yet. We'll see closer to time, I guess. (*cough* Have it in Idaho or Virginia next year *cough*)

Also, StarWarsGuru and I are planning our costumes for next year. And it looks like I'm going to be Cyclonus. I'm not sure how good of a Cyc I'll make -- he's a rather skinny TF and I'm... not skinny -- but I never know unless I try, right?

Better go get something written here. Just thought I'd give an update.

Many villans enjoy sharks - especially sharks with lasers. :la:

Q: How many Transformers fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Eight. One to change it, and the rest to complain that the light bulb was so much better back in the 80s.

I support well-written, in-character fanfic!

Sharks, I could understand. They can be frightening. But cats? Don't get that one either. :)

First snow always stinks, especially when it's that early. Did it stick around at all?

Ah, costumes...working on my ROTJ!Luke one right now. It figures that I find the perfect material for his cloak (a coarsely-woven dark fabric) and they don't have enough of it. *sigh*

Give Cyclonus a try: what's the worst that could happen? If you start now and it fails, you'll have plenty of time to come up with a different idea.

The darkness is my greatest comfort and my ultimate weapon.

It hasn't snowed here yet...but it's definately getting colder each day...good thing I like snow, though. :giggle:

Can't wait to see how your costume turns out. :D

Maybe because they're haughty and aloof, like many Bond villians?

Didn't stick around, just kind of dampened things. Still, this officially means "Indian Summer" is over and I"m gonna be freezing my tail off until April...

I like snow, I just am not fond of the cold. Or driving in the stuff. *shivers*

Can't wait either. :XD: StarWarsGuru works with posterboard instead of cardboard, so it'll be a bit different than my usual. If you want I can show you links to other costumes she's done...

It's been raining here for something like a month, and we're already at 9+ in. when our average is 5+ in. And I guess the record set back in the '50s was in 12+ in, so we're getting close...but it's supposed to clear up for tomorrow, and hopefully some sun again on saturday. :shrug:

I've heard of a lot of places getting snow the past few days. I hope that means we'll get a little more lasting snow here then! Send it here, Kenya! :D

Until then, keep warm! Stay away from the flu too, of course!

I almost prefer rain to snow, so long as it's not icy-cold or windy at the same time. Snow is pretty and peaceful, but a pain to drive in.
