Does anyone know when the Auraria campus bookstore is going to post the books for Spring 2010 online??
I registered a week ago now and I'd like to buy my books via amazon.com before buying x-mas presents.
Thanks.

| 2009 - 2010 Avalanche Games |
[09 Nov 2009|07:04am] |
I know that I've posted about this before, but once again I have some extra tickets that I don't want to go to waste.
I have Avalanche season tickets, and when I bought them they had a deal going on and we ended up with four season tickets instead of the two we needed/wanted. That leaves me with two extra tickets to every game. On Saturday November 14 the Avalanche take on the Vancouver Canucks at 8pm at the Pepsi Center and I still have my upper level tickets available. I'm looking to sell them for $30 for the pair. If you're interested and respond before I go to work tomorrow (Tuesday Nov 10...I'll leave around 8:30am), I can FedEx you the tickets at no extra charge as long as you use PayPal to purchase the tickets. Otherwise I could meet you on Saturday in front of the Pepsi Center before the game. If you're interested, please respond here, send me a message on LJ, or an email (my email address is included under the cut).
Also, I'm looking to sell all four of my tickets to the Avalanche vs. the Nashville Predators on November 25 at 7pm. My husband and I are going up to Grand Junction to spend Thanksgiving with our families for the first time in a couple years since we used to live out of state, and it just doesn't make sense for us to try to drive over there after the game. If you want to purchase all four tickets, I'll sell them for $140 and include a Lot A VIP parking pass. If you just want the lower levels I'll sell those for $120 for the pair and include the parking pass. If you'd prefer the upper levels, I'll sell those for $30 (parking pass not included). Additionally, I will FedEx the tickets to you at no extra charge if you pay me with PayPal, otherwise we could plan on meeting up sometime before the game.
Please let me know if you're interested in any of these tickets, or if you're interested in any other games than the ones I mentioned above - the details are under the cut.

I made me a rope bed frame! Now all I need to complete this pointless and unnecessary project is a wool-stuffed mattress and pillow. Those will be coming along shortly.
Components of rope bed frame: Aspen logs from the trees that are dying on the side of the house; one 2x4 from Jake's discarded trebuchet, now being used as a grape arbor; and one 2x4 from the crucifix that mysteriously appeared in the driveway.

| A question about chocolates |
[07 Nov 2009|05:47pm] |
Hi! I just recently moved to the Denver area from Virginia, and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I might be able to find mozart chocolates (mozartkugeln) I used to purchase them from Lindt stores, but there aren't any Lindt stores out here. They might be carried at chocolate shops that have a lot of imported European sweets, but doing a google search wasn't all that helpful for me. Any recommendations for shops I should check?
Thanks!

[05 Nov 2009|11:56pm] |
I am quite sure this question came up before in the not too distant past, but I can't find it--what's a nicely affordable, reliable place to get a car's interior detailed, preferably near Aurora?
Thanks a lot, in advance!

| Hey Facebook users! Guess what? Fuck you, that's what, now die. |

Preface - Yes, I do have a Facebook. I got it because I thought it might be worth something. It most certainly isn't worth half inch cock to Nel Carter. This posting is meant to do 2 things - Vent my unfathomable well of hatred about Facebook, and open a dialogue on what the best way to destroy my account there would be. Ok...go! Hi dildos. I am addressing ALL of you who have Facebook accounts. Thank you. Thank you for coming to this liquid poo bad site and making it the next big thing. Thanks for dragging me into your shit covered cesspool with you. I thought we already agreed on a half assed, poorly planned, poorly executed, error ridled piece of shit social website for self obsessed assholes, didn't we? A place where people can bog down the internet with thousands of nearly identical photos of themselves in various poses of pensive, self perceived sexiness?
It's called Myspace, now get off this horrid cocksucking site and get back to the one that is no better, but we're all used to and allows open source editing, you fuck tards. We just NOW have all gotten used to Myspace, learned to live with it's constant errors, bullshit spambot profiles and retarded caricature celebrities, now you think it's time to move on? After I have learned to suppress the involuntary spasm of reverse peristalsis that I suffer every time I see Jeffree Star on someone's top friends list?
Well fuck you. You don't get to do that. You picked your god forsaken, bow legged, cockeyed, pants shitting, retard of a horse, you don't get to change it halfway through the race. Ride that fucker, ride it until breaks, until it's legs snap and all you can do is sit around and fester in the first hell you created. You don't get to abandon it and go on to create new layers of real estate at Dante's Inferno.
I hate you all. Every one of you had better PRAY, and I mean on a regular basis, face on the ground, pointed towards whatever place you call holy fucking Mecca or whatever PRAY that I don't get a million dollars any time soon, because if I do, all you fad following fucks are going to pay. I hate this new site so much that if I do come into money, I am going to use it to fly around the country and beat the shit out of everyone who helped make this happen. Start practicing right now, just hold your mouths open and keep it that way until I get there so that when I bury my foot in your ass so hard that your pelvis snaps upward into your face you can suck your own genitals momentarily before they break your hipster fucking noses.
We did this once already and we're not doing it again. Yes, Myspace is a shit sandwhich, but shut the hell up, eat it because you cooked it, and just rejoice if you find a piece of corn in it. If you enjoyed this and agree with these sentiments, please feel free to cross post this everywhere, join the Anti-Facebook movement today! You assholes.

| Paranormal Activity review |
[03 Nov 2009|01:17am] |
Here are the pertinent facts you need to know about this movie if you plan to go see it -
The end sucks and you're just going to sit there wondering if that bitch ass ending was all the payoff for sitting through over an hour of shaky cam/tripod shots. Yes, yes it is. That's it. Don't bother waiting around, the disappointment is genuine.
I won't ruin it for you by telling you that there is NO PAYOFF at all. I love how horror movies can't find the balance AT FUCKING ALL these days, it is either show way too much discomforting gore (here I am thinking of SAW, plus, seriously, how much havoc can one dead guy's VCR really wreck after he has died? Certainly not enough for THIS MANY sequels) or you get the bullshit The Ring/The Others/6th Sense cop out where they try to scare you by NOT showing you anything. Hey, Hollywood, here's a thought - if I want to sit around and get scared shitless by not seeing what is going on, I'll put on a blindfold and stand around in the ghetto, best of all it won't cost me anything, but when I spend gas money, $13 and whatever highway robbery is currently costing at the concessions stand, you sure as tits better conjure up something amazing at some point to justify it.
Also, this movie was made for $15,000 and you WILL spend most of the movie wondering, given the production value, where the other $14,999 went to.

| WhereTF is Desperate Housewives and Brothers and Sisters?! |
[01 Nov 2009|08:03pm] |
I recently got a flat-screen tv with the digital converter built in (I guess). So I bought an antennae at radio shack, just a cheap thing.
My set-up gets every network channel (2, 4, 6, 9, 20, 31) except ABC on what I thought was channel 7. Usually I don't care but today I remembered: BROTHERS AND SISTERS. My Sunday night isn't the same without the face of Sally Field reminding me to take my calcium supplement and the face of the guy who plays Justin Walker reminding me to make out with my pillow.
Does anyone else not get channel 7 with this kind of set up? Is it a different channel? We have an hour to make this happen everyone!!!

does anyone know of somewhere in central Denver/cap hill where i can get some light pink legwarmers or thigh-highs, tights, boot-covers or *something*? it's for my halloween costume, which i'm debuting tonight. i would have made them myself, but Joann's didn't have the right fabric, and i can't knit that fast.
i already tried Raves, Fascinations, Sports Authority, and Fashionation... i called True Love Shoes but they weren't open. I'm not willing to drive to Littleton or Arvada where 2 dancewear shops seem to be located.

| RMRP Auction Donations |
[29 Oct 2009|10:32am] |
Calling all artists, crafters, and anyone who wants to help birds of prey!
I volunteer with the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program. For the past few years, they have held a Gala Auction, as a fundraiser. (This link is about last year's Auction, as information is not posted for this year's event yet.) While the Auction is not till February, the RMRP is accepting donations of auction items NOW.
Wildlife art seems to do very well at this event. So, I am putting out the word to this talented community. The RMRP is looking for WILDLIFE art and crafts. Also, non-raptor art seems to do better (which is strange, as this is a raptor event).
For example, when I worked the Auction last year, I saw an nicely done photo of two fox kits receive a high number of bids. Knitted blankets, beaded jewelry, books, and sporting tickets were just a handful of other items up for bids.
If you are interested in donating, you can go to RMRP.org , comment here or PM me for details.
Thanks for caring!

Not really related to anything at all, but October has been a month of pretty fucking awesome compliments. Quite a few people have told me that they have been wanting to meet me in person for some time and that it was really exciting. That's pretty damned awesome, although my journal will lead people to believe that my life is far more glamorous than it really is. I make it a habit to only post exciting pictures or omit defining facts.
Example - Posting pictures of triumphant public appearances. Omitting pictures or anecdotes of me throwing power tools against the wall because the god damned banner I have been working on for 3 hours is failing Ray Charles at an eye exam.
Another good example would be the fact that I am in a house right now with two strapping, kick ass male agents of SORP and a hot ass goth girl, but leaving out the fact that everyone but me is snoring and passed out.
I was also at a haunted house wherein a straight guy gave me the Christian Bale compliment, ie: "Well, I'm straight and I'd fuck you!" which is flattering, normally that is only reserved for the Bale and in some cases, the lead singer of Information Society. Quite an honor.
Also, tomorrow I am getting paid to drive around Denver with anti drunk driving stuff all over my car. I am not really down with that. I HATE drunk drivers, but I also think it's pretty common sense these days not to drive drunk, I don't think we need to raise awareness of it, I think we need to initiate harsher ass beatings for it. Anyways, it's paying some bills and honestly, doing the worst job in the world for yourself is better than doing the best job in the universe for someone else.

Cynthia on the way to the Emma Crawford Casket Races this year in the front seat of Alexi.
Big Rob helping Chelsea get her armband situated. I am certain that he did this based on the merits of his good character and willingness to help a fellow human being alone, and it had nothing to do with her being a hot chick.
On the menu this year...yelling at motherfuckers with a megaphone.
This kid was articulating what I was pretty much thinking all day. "Chicks in skirts on both sides of me, yeeeeeeeeeeah!"
In other news...
Not like I have anything better to post, but I can't help but wondering...in this economy banks, restaurants and other institutions that are essential for the structure of our economy and day to day life are closing left and right, people are losing their houses, cars, jobs...yet there are three thing institutions that really should be fucking gone by now that aren't.
"Brookstone" "Spencer's" and "It's Your Move".
Seriously. What the fucking fuck? This isn't just WTF, it actually goes so far beyond that it needs an extra fuck. WTFF!?
I was thinking about this because on my way to a parade this morning I passed by some shop with some name like "Sir Dragon Beard McChainmailwearer Stabbington's Cutlery, knives and swords" that had a sign our front advertising deals on knife sharpening, and I thought "How the projectile shitting Christ does THAT guy stay in business!?"
First off, how the hell many people have serious knifing needs in this economy? I can honestly say that outside of peasant revolts, you're probably not EVER going to actually NEED a broadsword, let alone some guy to sharpen it. I'm gonna go for a generalization here, but if you are stabbing enough shit with knives to need bulk discounts on sharpening services you most assuredly should not be at large withing the general populace. You should be stabbing shit 3, 4 times a week TOPS. Get a fucking gun and shoot your problems away like a normal teenager for fuck's sake.
Anyway, the point was that this got me to thinking about how "It's Your Move" "Spencer's" and "Brookstone" have both survived multiple recessions and I can't figure that shit out. I mean, how the hell are people struggling to pay their mortgages yet still saying to themselves "I think I need to get a dildo with some high class inlaid glitter or a book that will regale me with astute and humorous observations punctuated with high quality illustrations on what will happen to my penis when it turns 40, I had better go to Spencer's and shave $40 off my rent payment" or better yet "Wow, I really hate how I can't afford to feed my family and sure am bummed that fat, stocky guys with facial hair took my car last week, the only thing that could POSSIBLY cheer me up right now is a puzzle wherein I have two metal triangles attached by a chain with a chrome ring in the center that I have to figure out how to remove from the chain, better go to that fucking puzzle store!"
Seriously people, where are your fucking priorities!? Half the time you can't even get the ring back on the fucking thing after you solve it! Don''t even get me started on Brookstone and all the pseudo ethnic crap they sell. No one EVER has needed a god damned rain stick, ever. Whatever tribe came up with that idea should be extinct for wasting their time coming up with rain sticks instead of blow darts. I seriously fantasize that whatever tribe it was that birthed that shit was sitting around one day when another tribe came along and just buttfucked them all to death on principle alone. Good job, you created a useless item that sits on a shelf next to chrome plated nose hair trimmers at a failure of an upscale bullshit store, great legacy your tribe left to the world. That shit is the pet rock of tribal cultures, I bet it's the same group that brought us all those shitty tattoos that all the Pantera listening, H3 driving offroad "Extreme" fucktards got all over their arms 10 years ago.

| Good places to go feel up your prom date part 1 |
[28 Oct 2009|02:05am] |
Or have a romantic, intimate evening...whatever.
I figured I would share this location with any of you out there who were unaware of it. Sometimes it's nice to know of a few scenic areas that don't require a long drive -
Slightly blurry, it was bitch ass cold outside and I had no tripod.
This is right off of Wadworth in Lakewood, just head West on Ohio off of Wads, the road gives you the option to go right or left into a parking lot, go left and follow the lot around back. You can't see it from the road, but it is behind a rather banal office building. It was a bit cold the other night for me to get many shots, but this is a favorite spot of mine for dates, picnics or general photography. There is a huge lake, small islands, wooden covered walkways, ornate white stone landings near the lake, etc. It's a great place to take photos or impress a chick that you know some out of the way place that is kind of nice.
This was shot up near the office, not a bad place for a backdrop.
