Hmmmm… Elsa had on her LJ page a LJ Gender Tool which analyzes one’s writing to determine their femininity/masculinity. Here’s my results:

Masculine, eh? I was feeling rather manly today. Think I’ll scratch and spit some. 😉

Hooray for Fridays! Today was a good day. Chemistry watched more of the element videos that they made, physics was called off to a meeting about their upcoming graduation, and I got some tech stuff done. Then dad (the school’s tech coordinator – works 1 day a week) and I headed off to El Sombrero for the county tech meeting. Good food, great conversation, and much was learned by all. Now I’m a bit tired, I’m listening to Abbey Road, and I’m happy that it’s the weekend.

I have a cat. His name is Leo. He’s a bit over 2 years old and about 16lbs heavy. He’s a big cat. (Apparently, his brother Pooh is even bigger!) Leo was named so because when he was a bebe, he was all black and had a mane. So he was Leo the Black Lion. Now, this is what Donna, his surrogate mother, had named him. When I finally adopted him, she said I could name him whatever I wanted. But you see… (yes, folks, I will manage to get Sylvester McCoy into this journal entry as well…) in that terrible movie The Three Kinds of Heat, Sylv played a character who was latter discovered to be Leo Kalb, the head of Black Lion. So could I rename Leo after he’d already been named after a Sylvester McCoy character? Of course not!

Leo’s a real sweety. He’s very dog-like, so Judi even likes him. He loves to play fetch, and his current favorite toy (which varies often) is his Knob Gobblin. Yes, that sounds naughty, but it’s a monkey on a bungee cord that hangs on a door knob. And they’ve coated the toy in catnip scent or something. I’ve retied the Knob Gobblin’s bungee cord 3 times now to fix it’s breaks. And he still loves to play with it. Currently, he’s snoozing next to the monitor while the B-52s play.

In other news… Elsa and Judi are going to be heading off to England in January after all… Wah! No fair! I wanna go to England too! (OK, so Paul McGann in a play isn’t as much of a draw for me as Sylvester McCoy in a panto, but still! ‘Snot fair!) Being a teacher means I don’t have quite the vacation freedom that the girls have. (Newspaper editor and lawyer respectively). Of course, they don’t have 3 months of vacation… (Actually, as the network administrator as well as chem/phys teacher, I don’t really have 3 months of vacation either.)

So, I shall have to be very cross from January 7-12th while they’re off basking in the glory that is England… (Well, from Dec 29-Jan 3 all three of us will be basking in the glory that is DisneyWorld.) Maybe they can bring me back an autograph from McGann himself… (They didn’t do that on their last trip to see him, though.)

Well, what do you know, the first, er, second post actually worked! This new fangled technology is amazin’, I tell ya. 😉

So… Here’s the bit that I probably won’t be any good at – writing my thoughts. That’s cuz there’s nothing going on up there – ha!

I just commented on Elsa’s British Airlines dilemma (that prices are dirt cheap, we’ve got friends going to the UK in January, and she shouldn’t, but wants to go…) and ended up posting a link to an ad for Sylvester McCoy’s upcoming Panto production. And I thought it funny that I mentioned it there before I did in my actual post. For those who don’t know me (so, um, why you reading this?) I’m a major Sylvester McCoy fan. The only part of my website that I ever update, is my Sylvester McCoy section. (And it’s not very up to date, as it is.) So I’d better mention it here as well.

Sylvester McCoy will be in a pantomime production this Holiday season. Check out http://www.yvonne-arnaud.co.uk/home.html for more details.

(PS, I just listening to all of my music by group in alphabetical order – it doesn’t mean that I listen to ABBA all the time!)

Thanks to Elsa, I now have a LiveJournal account. When I tried to put in an entry a couple of days ago, however, LiveJournal burped after I submitted. So even though this is my second time posting, this is my first post that shows up. If this one doesn’t go through, then I may have to face the fact that LJ and trinalin don’t mix. 🙂
