If I had a dollar for every time someone managed to badly mangle my last name, I wouldn't need to work anymore.  The best is when they stick in letters that aren't even in your last name. "What? Really? Where the fuck did you learn to read?" |

I never had a problem with pronounciation of my name (with moderately intelligent people), but ever since I moved to California NO ONE can spell it. They always spell it wrong and get annoyed when I correct them. Then they ask "is that your legal name? It's not short for something else, is it?" Yeah, a mispelled version makes complete sense and is no big deal, but if it's an abbreviation you better watch out!

I wouldn't mind a bit if it was just my last name, but it's both and saying both names wrong at the same time sounds extremely strange. I know it's not anyone's fault for not being able to say them. My first name has a funky thingy in it and my last name has two funky things in it. Luckily the funky things in my last name aren't used in the US or I would have suffered even more during the time I was in school here. In Norway they have no trouble with my name at all! Well, except for my middle name which is French. I don't know where the hell that came from and there is no one left to ask! Dammit.
On a happy note, I learned how to pronounce the name "Schild" here but I still call him S-Child mostly, or Schildy, which is cute. And now we have Sjofn now and even though it's not really her real name, it makes me feel better.
Also, have I mentioned lately how all the women on this site are Princess Warriors? It's true. Xanthi, Voodoolily, Cheddar, Lantyssa, SuperPopTart, Nevermore, Sjofn, Numtini, Mi Ties (when she someday comes back from all her busy lawyering), WAP and all the rest who's names fell out of my coffee deprived mind right now. We should also have a private forum to discuss our plans.

So now you are secretly recruiting certain posters in to womanhood?
Sjofn - I haven't even attempted to pronounce that yet.
Someone mentioned spelling - my last name is uncommon, but it's a normal english word. It's also shared by a famous baseball player. And you know what? Nine out of ten people transpose the last two letters, even after I spell it out for them!

So I bought my (awesome, for real) new truck and my old truck is sitting, waiting to be cleaned out and put in the paper for cheap or best offer.
I've already had two neighbors offer to buy it, despite it being an old pile of crap in need of a couple grand in repairs. Crazy.

Strangely, nearly every car I've sold has been bought by a neighbour or friend. Luckily, they were mostly in good condition or we divulged anything that was dodgy about them. We do, however, have a friend that still owes us about 2K for a car he bought from us years and years ago. Fortunately, I love him to bits and we don't care. Righ mostly never cares about that sort of stuff - I'm usually the one who gets angry. Not caring about stuff like that makes life easier, though.

Bacardi is the devil. Havana Club is ten thousand times better. ... Well, that was weird, my five year who has not cried in about... two years just woke up crying. I asked her why and she can not tell me. Not a bad dream, not because her stomach is hurting even though she devoured a lot of sushi and not because her head hurts. After searching the net to find out why she cried, I realized how lucky I am to have a kid that does not cry all the time or have one of five thousand illnesses or disorders. At this point, I think either a ghost visited her or I need to delete all of the Scooby Doos from the Apple TV. Kids! |

Kids!
They are called Night Terrors and it is really common among children. Nothing you can do, no long term damage, etc. Basically hug and love them until they go to sleep then be glad you do not have a child with a chronic problem. Signs are: Waking up freaking out, cannot quiet recall why, forgotten by next day. I call them Sig Knees. |

Wot? HEY!
Not to make fun or anything but I had night terrors when I was little and I'm still prone to very vivid dreams, sometimes scary too, only now sometimes I can remember them. I also used to walk in my sleep. I broke my nose walking off the top step of our staircase when I was four or five. Sometimes I used to walk out the door and down the road. The doctor across the street from us or our milkman used to take me home. The sleepwalking stopped when I was around six or so. The night terrors endured until I was 14.
But Sig Knees is what I call my knees!

The boy did that a few times, but lately he's claimed bad dreams. He did that this week and didn't really wake up... hopefully it wasn't because I had Fallout 3 playing too loud. |

http://www.geekologie.com/2008/11/good_idea_man_submits_drawing.phpAlso, just want to say how much I hate college football. I'm trying to get a few hockey highlights I missed today, and all people want to play is college fucking football highlights. FFS, there are only a million fucking little college football teams, and they're not even pros...fuck this.

I'm typing this from my kitchen, where my computer has been set up to provide internet access while we're moving out.
Before this I'd never realized how perfectly my cutting board works as a mousing surface. Shame all the chairs have been moved and I have nowhere to sit.

My company booked a whole hotel, for the whole weekend in the Rocky Mountains for our Christmas party and today is the official day after. I'm dead tired, but I managed to make it through a weekend with unlimited food and drink without ruining a) my marriage b) my career, so that's good.

Ahhh. My brother is actually a hydrogeologist at one of the companies with interests in the Alberta tar sands. I guess things have been pretty miserable there since the price of oil started going south. |

I don't wish bad things on anyone, generally speaking, but anyone who is "suffering" as a result of the declining price of oil can bite my bag. I mean that in a nice way.

Xmas started in my neighbourhood the day after Halloween. Nasty cheap looking inflatables and blinking lights everywhere. I hate my neighbours and their stupid penchant for weirdo flags and inflatable holiday shit. The most I do for Xmas is make pizzelles sometime in December with my sister, which we give away to whoever goes to her house on Xmas day. She has an open house thingy for friends and family. No one who is left in my family (which is my sister and her kids and a couple of cousins) is religious so it's merely an excuse for a party, I guess.
Anyway, it's just started to snow and I've put in a batch of cinnamon raisin buns so my house feels holiday-ish in spite of my indifference.
