Laissez les bons temps rouler

[cornerofmadness]

My grandmother and her would-be boyfriend were crowned King and Queen of their Assisted living home. This poor dude must thrive on mistreatment. He's been after my grandma for a year now and all she does is be mean to him. He was probably in 7th heaven getting his picture taken with her.

For Mardi Gras I dressed up, took in some beads, nearly blinded a student who doesn't get what 'catch means' because she was talking when I was explaining the exam Yes to me the good times rolling means test time.



Imagine THAT coming at ya with a stack of exams (god, my neck. I used to have one..)

I had a bad day sugar wise. It was perfect this morning when I woke up 100 (which shocked me since I ate like 6 pieces of Vday chocolate last night) Then it crashed right after the exam. Luckily a coworker walked me down to the vending machine. OMG you can no longer put in money it's either a credit card or your student ID to get a pop. Luckily the candy vendor is old so I got some reeces pieces. It happened again later and I got a honey bun. It was still low until now when it soared to 304 after eating nothing but protein.

However, their test time was good for me. I really DO know what I need to do to write, turn off the computer. I wrote 20 pages on 6 different stories! I'll be typing in some while i sit here listening to Cajun and Dixieland in celebration

check out this fascinating story sent to me by my friend ES Origins of Dr. Who

You make me laugh. :D

The article on Doctor Who is fascinating.

glad i could amuse.

it is. I had no idea it was produced by a woman for one

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You usually manage.

No, me neither. It does do a lot to explain the sets of the time period, though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes i suppose it does

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

Today was Mardi Gras? Well, crap. That would explain all the King Cakes at Fresh Market, wouldn't it? And the Mardi Gras chocolate cupcakes (they had white icing with green, yellow and purple sugar sprinkled over it). I didn't wear my beads or nuthin'. I'm bummed.

I guess half of my library coworkers will show up tomorrow with ash smeared on their foreheads. At least I'm forewarned now.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes it was and yes you are forewarned

It's the grin that does it, you know. The scary evil grin. ;-P

Aw, your grandma's found a masochist!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the maniacal grin of the insane

ahahah what a crazy mask! fun, fun :)

and *clicks*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i need to reglue the poor mask

thanks

Fabulous mask! I had no idea it was Mardi Gras (it’s not a ‘thing’ for us over here.)

The Dr Who article was really interesting. I regard myself as old school Who, so this was particularly entertaining for me. I was just a child when Dr Who came out (my brother was the big fan) and I can remember being rather scared of the grumpy old man. (Dr Who, not my brother!) I do miss the mystery of the old days. Once they started explaining everything, I think the Dr lost of the charm he had.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. Mostly Mardi Gras is big in New Orleans but you find pockets of it around (mostly at bars and casinos)

See, you're like most of my friends. I tried so hard to like Old School Who and never did. I do like the new stuff though

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe you have to raised on the old stuff to appreciate it. Back then, the doctor was pretty sexless, and I don’t like the modern trend of trying to figure out who he’s going to kiss or fall in love with. I think its at the detriment of the storytelling, and I don’t like that nowadays his assistants seem to be cleverer than he is!

Do you have a favourite doctor?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Hmmm probably Tennant's.

I did watch a lot of the other ones, mostly Baker (easiest to get here in the states) but your reason for disliking it, the companions, is why I like it now. And why I hated Rose. She was an idiot.

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

Rose? Can't argue with that!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

finally someone else who doesn't think Rose is all that.

[havocmangawip.livejournal.com]

Good! I'm glad you smacked one with the beads!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

looking at the test scores I should have smacked harder

[seta-suzume.livejournal.com]

I love your mask! I used to own some feathered masks like that when I was kid, but they got completely beat up and tattered over the years.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I still have several. I see I need to repair a few of them

[halighfataliter.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I miss Mardi Gras!!! It is really cool that you dressed up. That mask rocks...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. it's falling apart as it turns out. I need to reglue it
