And let me preface this by saying, I stay as far away from the Strip as possible when I can.  (Long as heck post incoming.)
What happens here stays here, I guess )

Well, you really don't know what I'm thinking right now.  🤣  So, how about a post I wrote earlier in the week? 

Over on LASR, I'm talking about the ways you know you're an adult.  You can find my post here

Again, thank you to everyone who comes by and reads, even if you don't comment.  And if you comment, extra thanks!

My post is up and today's topic is bucket lists.  Please come look, comment if you feel comfortable, and help us out!

Or not.  No pressure.  But I would forever love you if you did.  🤣🤣🤣

Post is HERE

Thank you!

Yeah, so I’m trying this again.  I keep getting sidetracked and forget.  Blah!

Last week, Kaige suggested a movie to me.  Unfortunately, it wasn't streaming anywhere, but I did see that my local library had a copy in DVD, so I placed a hold.  I went and picked it up on Saturday and checked the receipt, making note that it was due back on 4/12, the following Saturday.

This morning, I get an email from the library letting me know that, as a courtesy, they've auto-renewed my loan.  I guess they figure I can't watch a 90 minute movie in three days. 

While I apprecaite the gesture, I also find it hilarious. 

So, how's you?

I wrote out this long, angsty, whiny post, but I'm not going to put it here.  I'm just going to cope and get on with my life.  No more dwelling on people who have made it clear that you are no longer a part of your life, even when you've given them 40 years of your own.

Because I have much better, more reliable people in my life now.

However, I will miss Val Kilmer's crazy, arrogant, weird ass.  I hope he's finally at peace and healthy again.  His loss is hitting me hard today and I might have to dig through my DVDs tonight and watch Real Genius.

And to end on a happy note, despite our loss last night, the VGK clinched their playoff spot last night.  It's our seventh time in eight seasons.  Which is a reminder to stay off r/nhl and r/hockey for the next few days because the VGK hate is strong in those parts.  Which is weird to me. I get not liking a team, but the outright disdain for my boys is something to see.  Oh well.

IDK, Mark.  IDK.

Anyway, I'd apologize for the gifs but honestly, they've lifted my mood a bit.  So, sorry not sorry.

The one time in my life I'm more Travis than Wes.  🤣🤣🤣

Happy Wednesday, y'all.

Today's topic is national parks.  Because that's what's on my mind these days. LOL

You can find my post here

I only had one commenter last week.  😭😭😭

A new post is up here!  And today I'm babbling about how much I like the rain.  Hahaha.  
asphaltcowgrrl: (Default)
Yes, I know, it's only Tuesday.  BUT!  I wanted to thank you all for going over and commenting, or even if you just went over and read.  It's all wonderful!

Also, the lady who runs the site had someone offer to do a post for this week, so I get a week off.  I'll be back next week and will let you know.

THANK YOU!

Weirdness

I think I might have encountered my first soverign citizen on the road today.

They're doing construction on the freeway (because I mean, what else is NDOT ever doing?), so the going was slow as I approached my exit ramp.  Caught a glimpse of an odd license plate on a car in the next lane.  On second glance, it simply said AMERICA across the top instead of the usual state.  It had a US flag on the left side and 8 digits/letters instead of Nevada's usual 6.  Since they were beside me and not next to me, I couldn't see if it had the usual 'not for hire' and other sov cit BS on it or not.

Just so bizarre. I knew we had those nutjobs here, but I thought they'd all be either up north in the red areas of the state or in Nye County with all the other wannabe rednecks.  Not in the heart of Las Vegas.  Hahaha.

For those of you out of the loop, American sovereign citizens claim that the United States federal government is illegitimate.  Therefore, they don't have to pay taxes, register their cars, etc.  I mean, I feel ya, boo, the US government is a hot ass mess right now, but really?

So, there's your weird bit for the day.  Also, Wikipedia tells me this isn't unique to the US, there are sov cits in Canada, Australia, and the UK as well.  Finally, some batsit craziness that is not central to the US.  HAH. 

(I love how Spotify will sometimes find the most appropriate songs to be playing when I'm writing crazy posts.)

Ideas?

I help out a friend who runs a book reivew site by doing odds and ends to help engage visitors. 

One of the things I'd been doing was posting questions of the week on Facebook.  However, since I dumped Facebook a couple of weeks ago, I offered to help drive engagement to the actual site by posting blogs of various kinds once a week.

My friend suggested personality quizzes (like which Harry Potter house are you) and posting my results.  Or I suggested things like current TV shows I'm watching, movies, and seasonal recipes.

Which is a good start, but if I'm going to be doing this weekly, I'm going to need more ideas so things don't get stale.  Which is why I'm here, y'all.  What kind of questions/posts would make you likely to leave a comment and/or engage in conversation?  It's a book site, so I'm thinking the bookish posts might be covered with the reviews, author interviews, Top Ten Tuesday posts, etc.  So, I'm looking for things outside of books, or things vaguely related to books but not books (like Fable Grounds Coffee or Frostbeard candles). 

Also, if you're interested, I can post a link here on Thursdays so you can go check the posts out (and comment if you like, no pressure), but only if you're interested.

So, um, hit me with your best shot? 

Meme Dump

One of the Facebook groups I'm in does a Meme War Wednesday where members post all the memes they have.  I found some good ones today.  Some potty language and suggestive stuff inside.
I warned ya... )

The guys in the other room are in a meeting.  And, as usual, they have the volume cranked.

I'm not paying much attention until I hear someone snap, "We can hear you."  Pause.  "Can you hear us?"

The dude replies, "10-4, good buddy," and I about spit my coffee out. I cannot believe no one laughed at that. 

And... now back to payroll.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me.  I was doing well with my weekly updates and then, suddenly, I wasn’t.  Ugh.  Anyway, so you get a whole ass February recap now since I’ve been such a slacker.
Lotsa words inside )

Man, another week has come and gone.  Not a whole lot going on around here.  Taylor did finally land a job at the hospital she wanted to work at, so that’s a huge bonus.  She starts October 9th.  Maddie’s trudging along with school and work, hanging out with her friends, too.  Me?  I’m just working and hanging out at home, the same as always.  And the cats, well, they’re catting all over the place.
Totally PAR-TAY! )

For a short week, this week sure has dragged its feet.

One of my guys just walked by my desk, cell phone to his ear, and started blowing kisses at me as he passed by.

(Sorry, just had to share. He made my boring ass afternoon a bit more amusing.)

((LOL Spotify, what is that song choice right now?))
