Winey Goats

So, I drink rum on a close-to-nightly basis. Takes 3 or so pint glasses of the rum & cola mix for me to start feeling the effects. Keep in mind, pint glasses means they're doubles.

Then one evening I enjoy some wine with my husband. Two glasses in, I'm in that same state that requires 5-6 shots of rum. What the hell?

Ha! Get this. I was just playing Goat Simulator, and gained 3 different achievements. Unintentionally. Airtime Easy, Airtime Normal, and Airtime Hard. In other words, get your goat as much airtime as possible. And I apparently achieved all three consecutively, due to getting my goat's head stuck in a fence in midair. Win!

Time to be employed again. As much as I'd like to be a stay-at-home mom, it's not me. I gotta work. Gotta stay busy. I'm more structured when I'm employed. Fall into a reclusive homebody funk when I'm not.

Green With Environmental Invasion

I don't usually approve of reality shows on tv, but I do watch America's Got Talent. Not for the singers or the dancers - usually - but for the things in between. Like when a musician on stage attached cables to the BALCONY... and played them like a stringed instrument. Incredible. Tonight I saw something I hadn't seen before, though it was definitely due or overdue.

This guy gave us a taste of the silent film era. He was great. And I immediately recognized the song from Kill Bill Vol. 1, which didn't hurt matters.

Today reminded me of how dependent upon the internet I am. Service down all afternoon. And I hated it. Hated how disconnected I felt, and hated that I felt so disconnected. It shouldn't be that big of an impact, but unfortunately it is.

Lot of rain here lately. Which, apparently, is the equivalent of botanical steroids to our little garden. Good lord, I'm feeling less like its tender and more like its eventual nourishment. Just hope I get to enjoy some of the yummies beforehand.

Still getting through Kingdom Hearts II. Finally made it past a Pirates of the Caribbean boss, and it hasn't been too bad since. Trouble now is, I don't know where I need to go. Everywhere I currently go is a world I've been to previously. Now I'm not shown where to go next.

....Thank you online walk-thru's.

Finished reading a book this evening. The 4th in the Alex Verus series by Benedict Jacka. I'm hooked but I want to slow down because after the 5th installment, I'll have to start waiting for future novels. If I wait just a couple more months or so, I'll have 2 novels waiting for me.

Haven't decided what to read next.

Currently listening to The Glitch Mob. I haven't payed them much mind lately. Still love them, though. And I believe that I enjoy their Drink The Sea album a bit more than their fairly recent release, Love Death Immortality.

I think that's it for now. If you don't see anything from me for a while, or I start posting "Eat Cows Not Greens!"....you'll know that my garden vegetation took over.

Batty Cav's

I went to my first official dentist check-up in 10+ years the other day (only one cavity, on a wisdom tooth about to removed, score) and heard a song playing that I don't think many people know of. Not enough people, anyway. I started to hear it, and knew I recognized it, but couldn't place it for a few moments. It was "Sit Down By The Fire" by The Veils. I got into them when I watched Mr. Brooks. They have a great song towards the end, called "Vicious Traditions" which I highly recommend you listen to.

At any rate, I rarely hear their music anywhere, so it was a pleasure (and apparently a good omen) that I heard it in the dentist's office.

Started playing Batman: Arkham Asylum two days ago, at long last. I've wanted to play it forever, but never had a proper console, so I finally settled for a PC. I'm now 10% in, and face-to-face with Bane. It'll take me a few (more) times, but I'll get it. So far, every time I've been stuck somewhere, I've taken a break, done some research, tried again and moved on. (Knock on wood.) And while I'm making due with the PC controls, they're not the best. (P.S., Scarecrow is made even creepier with his Freddy Krueger-like syringe fingers.)

Been on a big Batman kick lately. Watching the Animated Series and the Dark Knight Returns (which is messed up... at least towards the end. Snapping the rest of his own... never mind. And Green Arrow's... never mind. Either you know what I'm talking about or you need to watch it), and finally playing Arkham Asylum.
