What the hell, Austin?
Record high yesterday (81° F) and then thundersleet and snow last night? Freakin’ bi-polar weather…

“It works like this: if you use Flickr, go to the sixth page of your photostream and pick the sixth picture there, then post it to your blog, and pass it on to six other people.”
Wallaby, Austin Zoo
I’m tagging anyone who wants to do it!
Hey! Another meme!
Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.
Boat’s Up The River And It Won’t Come Down
There is trouble in the world today
On rides the captain and three hundred soldier lads
I hear what you’re telling me but that don’t make it so.
Well first you gotta want to get off
At first I didnt understand when she walked through the door
You’re like a cool breeze to a hot spell
He’s so fine
Can’t you see I love you
Hey porter, hey porter would you tell me the time
Let me tell ya little ’bout this lady I know
When I’m alone and I’m staring at my wedding band
Whoa my oh my oh my I’m falling in love again
You came home and that’s all right
Oh Susie Q baby I love you Susie Q
What kind of love have you got
It was my first night in paris
Girl, don’t tell me that it’s morning
I guess I should have known by the way you parked your car sideways
The full moon is glowing out so bright it’s right out on the highway
Reveal to me the mystery
It’s the last day of November! So, naturally, I think I should wrap it up with a meme. ;)
This photo meme is kinda cool – I swiped it from awdrey_gore.
01. Answer each of the questions below the cut using the [Flickr] search engine.
02. Choose a photo from the first three pages.
03. Copy the URL of your favorite photos [here].
04. Then share with the world.
You know, I don’t think I’ll try to force myself to post every day again. Maybe it’s that I feel obligated to post, which makes me rebel. Or maybe I just don’t have a life. :D
I’m ok with that, really. I happen to like my well upholstered rut.
Anyway. One more duty post after this one, and then it’s back to random sporadic posting. Maybe I’ll manage to post once a week!
Almost into the homestretch for this semester at school. One more test in Government, and I’ve got a paper in American Lit due, and that’s it.
Next term I’m taking three classes; two at the campus near me, and one online. I don’t know if “distance learning” will work for me, but I won’t unless I give it a shot.
I’m taking: Art History II1, Topics in US History – Women’s History2, and Microeconomics. Art History is the online one – we’ll see how it goes.
Well, it’s almost midnight, the stupid dog next door is barking his head off, and I need to get to bed. I better post this before my computer turns into a pumpkin or something!
1 Renaissance to present
2 There were other topics I’d have liked, such as WWII, Depression, Cold War, but this is the only one at “my” campus. I’m not yet ready to find/drive to other campuses.

Things that might be on a TurkeyDay table that I’d rather not see:
Cranberry sauce1 – what can I say, I’ve never liked the stuff. In my family it was always the canned gel kind, with the can indents still on the… congealed red… stuff. Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve ever tried the “real” kind – and I don’t feel like I’m missing anything. :D
Peas – I. Hate. Peas. I’ve tried them a number of occasions, and I just Do Not Like them. Bleh.
Yams w/ marshmallows – ugh. Just, ugh.
Now.
I don’t care what anybody says, I love green bean casserole made with cream of mushroom soup and French’s fried onions.
So there.
1 sqlrob likes that kind of cranberry sauce, so we do have it for Tday. It’s alllll his though. :D

Fun quiz!
American Civil Literacy – take the quiz – No cheating, now!
You answered 31 out of 33 correctly — 93.94 %
Average score for this quiz during November: 78.0%
Average score: 78.0%
I missed two on economics, which doesn’t surprise me. Hm. Maybe I should make an economics class my “unrestricted elective”.
I love history.

Today is Saturday. We need to go to Costco, Petsmart, and pick up a prescription at the vet, but seriously, I don’t feel like leaving the house. It’s windy and it makes me feel like the best thing to do is snuggle up under a blanket and play video games.
So, a compromise. :D Today I’m gonna do laundry and study for my American Lit test that’s on Monday, and vegetate as much as possible. Tomorrow, Costco, Petsmart, and GameStop to pick up Animal Crossing City Folk. sqlrob had better get in as much Fallout 3 as he can today, because tomorrow I’ll be hogging the console!
Monday, or maybe Tuesday I’ll be able to pick up Pandora’s meds – it’s a refill, and we’re fine until Wednesday.
There was something else I was going to talk about, but I have no idea what it was. Ah well.
Breakfast! I need breakfast. That’s not what I was going to talk about, but it is, nevertheless, true.
Later!
