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 touched a baby kangaroo
So last night we went to see About Schmidt, which I kinda liked but none of my friends did. But that’s not the point of this post. The point is, we went to one of my least favourite theaters: the new Cordova one, which is always *crawling* with 50,000 screaming teenagers. And last night, there were 70,000 screaming teenagers, cause…

when i needed business cards
Ok, question: Which of my pics do you think I should put on my business card? This question is the reason I didn’t have a business card for MTAC 2 1/2. Or for Animazement 02. Or for Otakon. Or for Dragoncon. Or for MTAC Pi. I just can’t friggin make up my mind.

when i played sims 2 on ps2
Got a little more used to The Sims for PS2 last night. I like the “Get a Life” game a lot so far; it’s neat to have actual goals in the game. My character in that is named DO (all of my characters have been named something like that so far, it’s annoying not being able to type in names).…

when i got school canceled
What I learned today: Calling the school to tell them you’re skipping due to the *possibility* the weather might get bad might have some effect. I wasn’t going to call, I was just going to skip my one class today (4:30-6), but Kristie decided to call and tell them I wasn’t coming cause I had to drive so far in…

when there was a spy in spencer’s
Today I went to the mall before work to buy The Sims for PS2, but turns out that’s coming out TOMORROW. Darn. So to console myself, I bought some other stuff. The calendar kiosk that pops up in november every year and disappears by february had all their calendars on sale for $3, so since I only got 2 calendars…

when someone always loses a hat
I noticed something yesterday. Anytime someone is hit by a car (sometimes when there’s just a regular car accident, but usually when someone is hit), the local news always shows a shot of a hat, laying forgotten in the road. I realised this yesterday, and I’ve begun to suspect that the camera crew just throws a hat out there and…

when i actually went to work
So my class today, which was supposed to go from 9 AM to 3 PM, ended at 9:30. score! I’m back at work. If I were still at my old job, I would have just told them I was in class all day and couldn’t come in. But I like my new job. So here I am. I’m going to…

when we all bought socks
I need new socks. I haven’t had any new socks since that day last summer when me, Rachel, David and Ash went to Wal-mart, and we each bought a new pack of socks. Still not sure why we did that.

when i was a poster child
Hee! Look at that goob who is the “poster child” for Harry Potter cosplay on cosplaylab. I cleaned my room last night. I started at like, 10:30 and stopped by 11:30 cause that’s when the Buffy episode I was watching ended. Ha. Then I went to bed cause I was all tired, but ended up sitting there watching the rest…

when cath went to malta
I got LOTR valentines at the grocery store. I wonder what Tolkien what think of kids giving each other little cards that say, “One friendship to rule them all.” I’m not even going to be in town that day, I’ll be at Katsucon. I’ll have to give Cath hers this month, since she’ll be in MALTA then. I still can’t…

when i was playing the two towers game
You know, guys, as much as we appreciate the help of the Elvish archers, can you guys do anything besides get in my way? I mean, am I the only person in Helm’s Deep who knows how to kick over a ladder? Please.

when it was time for the hp vday project
My grandfather got a call today – some senator put in his name for some kind of EPA committee and they wanted him to go to DC and be on it. He was all excited about it and called Na to tell us about it at work today. When Na asked if he accepted, he said, “Are you crazy? I’m…

when i was mad about gary oldman
Gary Oldman as Sirius Black???? Noooooo Don’t get me wrong, I like Gary Oldman, he’s cool. He’s just not Sirius. I will not be happy with anyone they pick.

when i was going to be in a skit
Who has seen these pics from a ROTK (Man, it’s hard not to type ROTJ) calendar? It looks like my Eowyn costume might end up in ROTK!! Woo! And the Aragorn pic, where he’s wearing the Gondor symbol thingie, ah… *wipes tear* And I’m not much for Frodo but that picture had even me in giggles. For those of you…

when indy ate part of my costume
Indy got in trouble tonight. I was spray painting some stuff outside, and dropped a little wooden star when I came in. Indy was right there, and I said, “Don’t you get that!” She walked off. I set my stuff down and turned around to pick it up and… it was gone. Dad was standing right there and Indy ran…

when lotr invaded my life
LOTR has invaded my life: -I keep saying “I care not” instead of “I don’t care” -At work we have a flyer we send to people and at the bottom it says “We care about your little ones.” And everytime I read it, I think, “(gasping)They took the little ones!!” -Again at work, a random round piece of red velcro…

Art Post: Harry and Fawkes
I had this picture kicking around in my head since October 02, when I listened to CoS on tape and was laying the whole thing out in comic book format in my head. This particular “panel” stuck with me and I kept telling myself to do it. I didn’t until december… I think I may have finished it in early…
