My kingdom for a machete. Or a machine gun. Anything that kills and begins with "mach" would do*.

Gah. So, two days left until the upgrade from hell. Which may, if all goes well, turn out to be nothing, but, if things go to hell in a handbasket, will make this one of the suckiest weekend imaginable.

Oh, and the co-worker who was supposed to really handle the presentation today for the IT briefing just called in sick, which means I've got the ball with less than an hour to go. Fucking lovely.

That will, of course, kill two hours of the time I should have been using to create/update documentation.

Yeah, today's going to be a blast.

shadesong is out sick today as well. My poor love. :-(

On the plus side, Lost last night was damned fine. And I got yesterday's Final Jeopardy because of me L33T knowledge of Steven Brust books. And I still haven't given a red cent to George Lucas, nor do I plan to, no matter how many hyper-defensive reviews of the third film I see. The New Yorker review, incidentally, is great.

Off to accomplish things. Or not, as the case might be.



*I do not consider a Gillette Mach 3 razor to be a legitimate murder weapon, as it takes too long, and I'd get bored.

Is your co-worker really *sick* or did s/he just go see Star Wars last night?

[yendi]

Heh. Pretty sure the former, or "none of the above," as she's not a huge SW geek.

Think about how close of a shave they'd get though. :D

From the N'Yorker review:

"The general opinion of “Revenge of the Sith” seems to be that it marks a distinct improvement on the last two episodes, “The Phantom Menace” and “Attack of the Clones.” True, but only in the same way that dying from natural causes is preferable to crucifixion."

Me-Ow!

that review IS great.

Is it my imagination, or are the Star Wars fanatics more touchy that the folks from PETA? I mean, I liked the original series too, but I'm not blind to the fact that the recent films have been an inferior product.

You should see the SW/Peta crossover people who get upset when people talk about boiling Ewoks.

How about a Machiavellian assassination?

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

Y'know your posts are often damn brilliant and funny.

[yendi]

Thanks!

[montykins.livejournal.com]

You could run over someone with the Mach V.

[montykins.livejournal.com]

Oh, and if it was the last chapter, you could kill someone with a Deus ex Machina.

[yendi]

No one would ever expect that!

[fings.livejournal.com]

Use Machiavellian machinations. Do not attempt to use machismo; it kills, but it does so in the wrong direction.

waaaah. I work nights & don't get to watch Jeopardy anymore. What was the answer? I wanna know if I could guess the question, too!!!!

[yendi]

THe category was "words from Latin," and the clue was "Some of the periods of time called this occurred in 304 A.D. (4 years), 1314 (2 years), 1958 (19 days), 1963 & 2005."

> L33T knowledge of Steven Brust books..

Yeah, what was the answer, the Teckla must know!

Only the eventual champ and I got it right.

*hits my buzzer* What is "Interregnum", Yendi?

I kill with the force of my machismo.
