Monday Right?
Sep. 10th, 2007 09:03 amNo I know it is Monday. It just took a moment. DragonCon/Labor Day and the drive back home sort of screwed up last week for me. I thought Wednesday was Monday and it kind of went from there. But I think with yesterday being Sunday and feeling like a Sunday, I am back on track.
Thank you everyone for your good wishes for my Birthday both on and off the list. I appreciate it a lot. We went to the Ren Faire at Sands Point and I met up with my fellow puppeteer who has the same birthday. He does a great Punch and Judy show and the kids loved it. I had a lot of fun too. And Peter made me dinner.
This week is all about the catching up with various projects and swaps that I got behind on because of all the stuff we did in July and August. I have the boxes all lined up and I am ready to crack the first one and see what I have to work with and on.
Cleaning is on my list too. This week is paper recycling and we have a bit of it to be recycled and just sorted.
My Monday bowling league starts tonight and I am without both of my teamates until at least next week. I am hoping that we haven't lost one for the season due to a bone spur.
Well football was not great for the fans of the New York teams. I'm not writing off either team but of the two I think that the Giants have the longer row to hoe. Baseball is being better. I will admit that I am surprised that the Yankees managed to pull it together to make a run at the Wild Card. If the Mets clinch their second division title it will be the first time in team history.
On one of the many lists I belong to there is an individual who exhibits a behavior that drives me crazy in real life and they have it to an art form on the internet. There is a serious case of the "ya buts". Every time someone tries to come up with a way for them to solve their "problem", they put up another roadblock or add a piece of information which of course makes the solution untenable. I have seen this person do this before but not to the degree they are doing it now. I am starting to just not read anything that they are writing because I can't take the long list of excuses they are coming up with for their inability to do something. Which is sad since they have had interesting insights on other topics we are discussing right now.
On another list I appreciate enthusiasm but there comes a point where I feel like the list is being dumped on. I know that you just found this fandom but please oh please take it down a notch and this is not the older board members being cranky. I found out from the list parent that you have scared away a couple of people who had just joined. I'm betting that this new shiny fandom will tarnish for you in a while. I am curious if you will be come a regular of the group or decide that we (and fandom) are not worth your precious time any more. I'm betting on the flounce.
There are creepy people on the internet. Of course there are creepy people in real life too. But there are some that just don't get it when asked to refrain from certain behaviors that are making other uncomfortable. Like the mother who, very politely I thought, asked for you to stop using a picture you had of her 13 year old daughter as an example of the kinds of pictures you want others to find for you on the internet because you don't "do" search engines. I saw the picture you took and her costume is something I would let my kids wear but you have managed to make it feel dirty with the way you describe what you are looking for. Also I don't think you are being as clever as you think with the avoidance of search engines so you won't leave a "finger print". I know that some people are keeping track of your trolling so when your real name come up, they can hand over what they have to the proper authorities.
Well enough ranting this morning. I, of course, have a million and three things to do today. So I guess I'll start at the top of the list and start working through it.
I am grateful for a straighten out time sense.
