Your quest to ruin Sid Mournings life has came to my attention. Have you ever wondered if he has children? Have you ever wondered if you are hurting his daughter? Well we are here to ruin your life regardless if he has children or not. We know where you work, we know where you live, we know your telephone number, we know that you have two girls, did I forget to mention last night around 9:30 we were parked outside of your house? If you don’t stop your wrongful slander we will do the same to you.

XOXO

• I hate computers. #
• After what I have just been through, The Witcher had better be one hell of a game. #

• 360 on the HDTV – Me: "Oooh, shiny!" Hub: "Oh, God, that’s sexy." #
• @baconator How was Moby? #
• @campfiremike Awwww, that sucks. Chicken soup and lots of Advil! #
• The elms in the back yard have erupted into a riot of fragile green. #

I do doubletakes every time I see Rushmore and come away with the feeling that I just visited my father. The resemblance is really uncanny.

• Finally convinced the hubby to get the HDTV. #
• Dilemma: 95 degrees. Puppy in a car in the parking lot, some windows half down. Already a note under the wiper. What do you do? #
• Well, next time I’ll know what to do… was too migrained-out today to do much more than make sure puppy was still drooling & leave a note. #
• Loving Restaurant Jezebel. #
• Boo for plantar fasciitis! #
• Woo, setting up new TV! #
• @vpisteve Oh, don’t be curmudgeonly. I thought it was good! #
• @vpisteve Yeah, but look at the date on the (spoiler redacted). I think it was two kinds of misdirection, which is always better than one. #

Synchronicity for this week:

Mama Ninfa Laurenzo (Hub was talking about her inventing fajitas and so was this week’s Soup Peddler menu.
Frank Gehry (he was on The Simpsons as well as in a Metafilter post.

I ran into people talking about gutta percha three times in the last week. I’d never heard of it before.

I got invited to join the honors society at school.

I also submitted a paper about Disney’s parks and how they relate to Fisher’s Narrative Theory for presentation at SOURCE, my school’s annual conference, and it was accepted. I’ll be presenting it on April 11.

I submitted my application for graduate school and, once I get my degree plan signed, should be accepted with no problem. I also heard back from the new person assigned to evaluate my portfolio for Emerging Technologies and she said to expect to see that on my transcript sometime next week (I submitted the damned thing in November!).

I’m all registered for SXSWi, which ITVS was kind enough to do since World Without Oil is a finalist in the Web Awards. Don’t forget that you can vote EVERY DAY for WWO in the People’s Choice awards. It just takes one click a day.

We made reservations for a return trip to Disney World this August. This year we’re going to try The Polynesian Resort. Staying at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge was just heavenly last year, what with the full size fridge, washer/dryer, and separate living/sleeping areas, but the big drawback was that it wasn’t on the monorail. I think we can sacrifice a lot for that convenience. We’ll see if we end up speaking to each other when it’s all over.

Last, I’ve been bleaching my teeth for the last 9 days and haven’t had one stinking cup of coffee or tea since I started and I’m damned grouchy.

Ok, sorry, that wasn’t last; this is: we finally got an XBox 360 and picked up Rock Band and Guitar Hero III. I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun.

Just got back from Cloverfield. I loved it. I haven’t been that riveted by an action film since the first Jurassic Park.

Predictably, Hub hated it. He prefers more formulaic, wrapped-up Hollywood films. Some spoilers follow.
