old
This tag is for all of my SUPER OLD Blog posts from both my original "free talk" section on my website (circa 1998-1999), and my blogger site A Day at the Races (1999-2008). I think there may also be some old livejournal mixed in here, too. This tag just delineates what is originally from those older blogs.

when i was scared of robots
I realised today that my fear/dislike of robots goes back even farther than that Disney special (a behind the scenes of Disneyland/Disney World – they showing Abraham Lincoln from the Hall of Presidents with no skin on his face). Out of nowhere today I was reminded of Herbie Hancock’s video for “Rock-it.” Anybody else remember that? I was never out…

when indy was on the table
Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday 😀 It was pretty good. I got Star Wars DVD set (of course), gift certificates, the Mordor action figure set I picked out at Dragoncon, and a new jacket. Money. I’m still waiting on a few to come in, lol. Best bday present of all – got a raise at…

when golf messed up my birthday
So we went out for my birthday night. The original plan was to go downtown to Pat O’Brien’s, have some drinks, something to eat, and then go see Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Well, turns out that some big Southern Heritage Classic is happening today, so downtown was PACKED. Like every parking space taken. So we decided not…

when it was nearly keith partridge
“…and for one of you, you’re one step closer to becoming Keith Partridge!” One of the strangest things I’ve heard on TV lately.

when I was in animerica
Does anyone who reads this get Animerica? Apparently I’m in there this month; I’m guessing it’s Hild again. If anyone out there has that issue can you tell me what costume it is, whether it’s Hild or not? I’m not going to have a chance to go get it until this weekend, so I was just curious. ETA: Here it…

when indy was superdog
Hey LOOK OMG I actually gave my livejournal a new look. Not much of a change, but whatever. I feel like I’m drunk tonight, but I’m not! Ha! Indy and I went to the Germantown Arts and Crafts festivus thing today. She wore her Superman costume and MAN did everybody love her! Everybody was yelling “Superdog!” and kids kept coming…

when we had a great dcon
we’re home from dragoncon. I’ll post more tomorrow – or wednesday. next couple of days will be tough, not only getting over con tiredness, but some other stuff that’s going on. But yeah, made it out of ATL before any bit of Frances did (never rained on us at all – did it ever rain today there? It was acting…

when you complete your minor
It seems to me that when you complete your minor, bells should go off and balloons and confetti should fall from the ceiling. But I guess that’s just me. Ash and I hung out today and did some costume stuff. Watched ROTJ. Then I went with mom and dad to the first meeting of what will hopefully become the Millington…

In other news, Indiana Jones is a pretty, pretty princess.

when the bugs attacked
I forgot to mention this is my costume journal! On saturday, dad was helping us with some costume stuff in the kitchen when all of a sudden he gave a shout and pulled his t-shirt off! He said something was biting him. I looked over and saw the culprit still hanging onto his shirt. It had bitten/stung him in 3…

when there were boys loitering
Lately I’ve been having a good time going around telling people “Hey, you know, I think you’d belong in Slytherin.” It gets people so riled up! It’s quite funny. Last evening I was going out to ride my bike, but I got out there and saw there were 4 or 5 boys just hanging around the end of the driveway.…

Large buttocks are pleasing to me, nor am I able to lie concerning this matter.

when i love lucy made me uncomfortable
I hate the episodes where the Ricardos and the Mertzs (Mertzes?) fight. It makes me so uncomfortable. It’s like watching your parents fight.

when i was officially 501st
whee! I’m officially a member of the 501st Legion now. I feel so important! I am reading all my Harry Potter books again. I’ve read all of them except PoA multiple times (not including Order of the Phoenix, because I havent even made it through that one all the way once… I stopped first time I read it). So right…

when i needed to organize
I really really feel like organizing something. There are two things I need to be working on – either organizing and getting together costumes, or cleaning my room/”unpacking” from San Diego (nothing is left in the suitcases, they’re just laying all over the floor in my room with a ton of crap on top of them–it’s a disaster area). But…

when i couldn’t concentrate because dcon
Two commercials I absolutely hate: Revlon commercial with that ‘i believe in love’ song. I hate that commercial, mostly because that song makes me want to rip my ears off… a Some jeans commercial. I don’t know what it’s for. Maybe for a department store sale or something, but it’s this woman walking down a hall to a version of…

when i was worried about our dcon room
I have been very worried about paying for the Dragoncon hotel room. Comic Con was really hard to pay for, and only having 2 paychecks between the two cons I knew was going to be hard. So I’ve been thinking and plotting trying to figure out how to get enough money back on my Mastercard in time for DC, so…
