Do you know, I didn't even realize that when I wrote that. How(l) creepy. I won't be able to sleep tonight... (complaining about hirsuiteness-induced insomniac itch)

Goesta Not until May 25th, though I don't buy into that whole lycanthropes having their period thing. Though I do wish I could shift at will to be able to reach places with things when urgently needed.

How awfully dreadful that Delaware have passed that bill. That's wonderful terrible news!


message 2963: by Goesta (new)

Goesta Well, I'm just so annoyed that I almost missed that devastating announcement about the end of civilization as we know it in Delaware. Bully to Shame on them.

Oh, one more gripe about that dreadful so-called singing contest going on over here. I so wanted to root for the country-that-shall-not-be-named-under-LL-law, I even kinda like the song, and appreciate that it is in an actual native language, but they managed to drain the last drop of fluid from the corpse of voodoo-goth-romance in the video, in a way that even the final split-second didn't make up for.

I was much more amused appalled by the Italian entry. The hair (closely followed by the whole soulful-Italian-eyes-attempt) made my day, which should tell you what kind of day it's been.

You can examine the "delights" on the Eurovision homepage.

G'nzzzz.


message 2964: by Gabbo (new)

Gabbo Parra (lordgabux) | 559 comments I'm disgusted to admit that Italian boy is a total doll.

Can I have little Roman after Anil is done with him? We'll feed him four times a day, and he'll have lots of fun and toys to play.

message 2966: by Roger (new)

Roger Kean | 17278 comments I wish to complain sadly at the death of Ray Harryhausen at London's Hammersmith hospital. One of the all-time greats of international cinema. R.I.P. Ray…

message 2967: by Goesta (new)

Goesta Such fond memories, he inspired me so much. *Sniff* I curse that in life, heroes die.


message 2968: by [deleted user] (new)

Goodmorning everyone, I have sleep wonderful and sleep 14 hours, that help a lot on my pain, most of it right now is bearable. The only thing it has not helped my neck and feet, this is very painful, hope to painkillers can help. 

I want to complain that I was not awake to the giveaway again, well then I have to buy the book, I been lucky the others time from DSP that I did not have the book, I have a least 25 books from giveaways from DSP.

The weather is bad again rain and cold, not good for my illness, I want it to be good again with warm up to 22° and sun, for a few days it was like that. Come back again good weather.

@Goesta do the Moon again tease you that you can not sleep, werewolves you can also look at it that way.
Do you not have a blackout curtain in the bedroom?!? or maybe you should think about buying one. I have a blackout blind in my bedroom and no problems with the moon when it is up. 

Ray Harryhausen his visual effects have I seen, Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, The lost World and King Kong. I admired his way to create special effects and he made me scared for a long time with the movie with all the living skeletons. 
One of the all-time greats of international cinema. R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen.

Did I get everything that I miss under my sleep, I really hope so.


message 2969: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I'm annoyed that I hadn't before considered the possibilities of romantic, ebook lighting and someone beat me to it with this enchanting lousy drawing of a attractively normal, sweetly bespectacled and literary geeky bookworm.




message 2970: by [deleted user] (new)

Not a complain but this phrase brought to my mind about our loving, caring, and sweet Aves: "the other attendant - the drop-dead pretty young man with the lithe, graceful body of a ballet dancer" I know Aves is a pilot and have his own airplane, but when I read that in power play 2, my first thought was Aves :-)


message 2971: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I gripe that for an hour free is priceless. Or the other way round.

message 2972: by [deleted user] (new)

Thank you Goesta :-) now I forgot they have that and lucky again that I have not buy the book :-D


message 2973: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I am gripefully saddened that after this morning's announcement about Ray Harryhausen, a friend made me aware on fb that theatre director and theorist Herbert Blau passed away as well, late last week. Two icons from different eras of my life, gone in a day. :'(

In other upheavals, I'm having to wrest with a character in a jealous snit. Attempting a variant of the snogging cure.


message 2974: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I must protest that DSP is now making us work for our free book of choice. They're having a 'haiku' contest right now on GR:

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Don't laugh too hard about my effort, please. It took me all of three minutes to term indicating arrival erased scribble it.

message 2976: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I am miffed that Lori chooses to mock me with apparent praise. Alas, no proper 'entry' till Friday night (when the subject of the versicle returns) ;)


message 2977: by Kendra (last edited May 08, 2013 04:35PM) (new)

Kendra (book_lover_too) | 337 comments I really, really don't like dealing with contractors. We are getting quotes for putting in a new driveway and I have spoken to 3 different companies. One of them made me feel like I was buying a car (even had the requisite "this deal/contract is only good for the next 10 days or the price is going up) and the other one thinks it would be perfectly okay to have a driveway that comes at an angle toward our garage (which I do NOT want but since there are a few things we have to work around in our yard, he said it would be "easier"). Yeah, thanks for the bid but no thanks.

Now, I have a migraine and am annoyed.

Helle, I reluctantly say hooray to your good nights sleep :-)


message 2978: by Kendra (new)

Kendra (book_lover_too) | 337 comments OH, and those two contractors were pushing me toward asphalt (blacktop) when I specifically said we want concrete but would like to know the price for both. GRRR!!! I might be a female but I am NOT stupid when it comes to construction.

My complain is yes a good Night sleep yesterday and today it was like hell again, one night I have that I sleep well and the next day it is bad, why can I not have more nights with good sleep and more of them after each other *grrr*

Maybe it is because the weather have change again, rain and cold :-( I want summer warm and sun.

@Kendra I am angry that business men looking down on one when we ask them a question, hate when they do this, whether it is in the construction industry, automobiles, etc. *grrr*

Roger Kean | 17278 comments A genuine complaint from "Disgusted of Ludlow":

Appeared on FB this day a shared post by "I f*****g love science" page a photo of a 4th grade science quiz given in a private school in South Carolina. This idiocy is the start of homophobic training by denying children an open, logical, and honest education. In this case the premise is the absolute truth of Genesis, which dogmatist teachers usually follow with Leviticus… and we all know where that no-through road leads.

FB, in its tyrannous wisdom, decided the post contravened its T&Cs and took it down, banned a relink, and then eventually relented. However, during the ban period, IFLS was able to link the bit.ly so everyone could see both the first and second page of this "science" quiz and the attributions.

http://www.snopes.com/photos/signs/sc...

It bears reading.

I'm also griping at Youtube which after 19 months decided the trailer for Zack's Bike Boy Rides Again contains "content in violation of these [Community Guidelines] and has been disabled." Another line states that any further violation may result in the termination of your account and ban you from ever posting on Youtube again.

There is an appeal process, but of course it's hard to appeal against an alleged violation of which you are unaware, since no detail as to why the video may be in contravention of the Community Guidelines is presented. It's a bit like being arrested and appearing in court without any idea of what it is you are supposed to have done. It is behavior typical of the new "Silicon Valley" corporate giants who now govern our planet with almost complete immunity.

GRRRRR

Rithmatist | 20 comments It's frustrating when some book series have a rotten grape in it and you have to read through the rotten one to get to the ones following it. The first books starts out with the best of the best elements one could find in books. Following the first book comes the sequel icky grape dripping in slime. Pity on the sequels following this grape!

I havent read it but I am a sucker for a free book :)


message 2990: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I am overwhelmed by empathetic outrage at all the bad news our Roger has had to deal with this past two hours; add to that greedy contractors, sloppy sequels and pugnacious furniture and I'm hiding back in bed.

@Roger, I've had a warning from Youtube regarding using unlicensed music on a clip that had NO note in it, only me talking. I must sound like someone famous. I appealed and never heard from them again either way. Probably some prig flagged your video.

Regarding vegetal supremacy, I've had the opposite experience; been knocked backwards a couple of times by unfurling, UK-bred edibles. All depends on the local soil, I guess.

I pity the blokes who have to skew my test sample back to the apparent British norm.


message 2991: by Roger (new)

Roger Kean | 17278 comments I am impoverished by the thought that inestimable Goesta might coax a note from a cucumber and then have Youtube warn viewers off listening to it. I presume they would have the same reaction to a posting of Mr. Cage's famous musical treat "Three Minutes and Thirty-Four Seconds." (Although the unlicensed posting would surely be safe under the ruling that any single bar of music is free of copyright…?)


message 2992: by Goesta (last edited May 09, 2013 03:00AM) (new)

Goesta Speaking of tests, it just blows my mind (in a splitting headache sort of way, ergo complaint) that it should matter so much to certain people that the bible is a literal representation of fact (as they see it). Mythology is a way for the human spirit to describe and comprehend deeper, ineffable truths, those are what's important. And, seen another way, if for god everything is possible, then earth time too is meaningless to a supreme being, and the written (by humans...) depiction of prehistory in the bible can be 'true' along, rather than in conflict with, temporal science.

Behemoth and Leviathan are so much more to the human imagination than dinosaurs. Why do religionists always want to fetter and destroy that which makes spiritual insight possible? Such as god's infinite creativity, a spark of which is alive in us, and universal love.

Goesta Lori wrote: "Oh, that's horrid. Those kids are in for a shock when they get older."

It's older people who ought to know better teaching them this crap, which is what infuriates me. Not sure some of them'll ever get a chance to see past it. That's the real tragedy, thinking everything you might ever want to know in life can be found in one book. I mean, I had 'religion' (Christianity) as a subject when I was nine maybe, it was fine, we painted pictures of Jesus riding a donkey waving palm fronds. Not Job riding a stegosaurus ripping up the Origin of Species while explaining away carbon dating.

In any case (I gripe on), I think it's fine to open kids to certain spiritual and ethical values early on; it seems to me everyone sooner or later, given the liberty to do so, decides for themselves whether a particular god exists for them. I'm just as ambivalent about some kid being rigidly inculcated that there is no god. The hotly debated details of what it all means should be left to study when you're old enough to understand.


message 2998: by Lori S. (new)

Lori S. (fuzzipueo) | 2809 comments What little religious training I had as a kid fortunately got trampled by historical facts and lots of Anthropology classes. I agree about the older people who should know better, but you see, if you don't get 'em young then you can't mold them in your image, distorted information, and beliefs, right?


message 2999: by Goesta (new)

Goesta I am delighted deeply upset about Ijeoma's link to a free story taking place, I believe, on a cruise liner. I'm so into tired of shipboard romances. My characters are doing amazingly hot, anatomically questionable things on a yacht as we speak.

To which I have to add the complaint that how do you narrate an indescribable orga...nic experience? Characters getting ever bolder in their entertainment demands, I fear, separates the wheat from the chaff of authors. And I'm allergic to wheat.


Ije the Devourer of Books | 14524 comments I am annoyed that greedy Londoners and tourists have bought and eaten all the cheese straws in Borough Market!!

Now my bedtime cheese straw and tea treat is ruined!!! Ruined!!
