Thank all good forces, it's Friday!
Early Friday morning in Norway. It's raining again... Heavy fog too. Hope it clears up like it did yesterday, which turned out sunny and kinda warm seeing as the icy wind let up.
I've been doing my tagging duties over at Kiri's place, and now I'm just sitting here, wrapping myself around my second cup of coffee.
I'm up to working 80% now. First day was yesterday. Told my esteemed team leader right off of bat; 'I'll be taking it nice and easy today. Just so that you know. I'm easing myself into this.' That was no problem for her, she expected me to and would probably be annoyed with me if I went full steam ahead after adding 20% to my workday. Not that any of us saw much of her all day, anyway.
I made it through my day, avoiding doing myself more harm, so that's a good sign. At least I hope it is.
Kiri is going gaga over the Iron Man movie about to come out. I'm eagerly awaiting The Forbidden Kingdom starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Should be interesting. From the trailers I've seen, it looks like old school Kung Fu, movies. With magics and fighters flying gracefully around. As I adored Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and loathed Kung Fu Hustle, this will be more to my taste.
After watching the Iron Man trailer over at Kiri's, the one thing that stuck with me was; I could hear Ozzy towards the end saying; 'I Am Iron Man!' Sweet.
Well, no time for more ramblings at this time. I really need to get ready for work, later!

You did hear that. :-D
I've been seeing ads for Forbidden Kingdom, it looks interesting. I'll see it.
But Iron Man... ::coos::
Hell, I'll own it, just as soon as it's out on DVD!
Still waiting for 'The Myth' to be released in the west...
Ooooh, spoke too soon, it seems to be available at Amazon.co.uk now. Yippee!!!
Damn! What prices... It's not the western release, these are all import through market place sellers... Back to waiting.
::Pouts::
Aw... mean Amazon to tease you like that. We'll have to make DVD movies from all across the planet affordable and promptly available.
Every single Jackie Chan movie! Available with sub-titles, so no vocal actor butchers the movie for Witchy.
YAY! I hate dubbed movies, gimme the original vocal tracks and subs, I'll be a happy Witchy!
Yeah, I prefer that with all foreign films. Sometimes though... I wish they would provided a cheatsheet with all the Americanized meanings of the slang they use. Even the Brits can be REALLY hard to understand sometimes.
I seem to get their slang, just as I do most of the American. Translators that do subs in Norwegian from English seem to have a problem, though... I don't use subs on English speaking dialogs!
LOL - I don't think they offer those in the US.
But I find the Japanese vocal artists do much better work than most of the American ones. No offense to the American ones, just... I prefer the originals.
The original is always better, always have been, always will be!
Yep. Sadly, I found out that the cute voice of one of my favorite characters is done by a girl. LOL It's cute that on some level that disappointed me and on another amused me. Weirdness.
What, Bart Simpson? I always knew his voice was done by a girl!
Nah, you were prolly talking about your anime fetish, again! ;o)
Oh, she used the f word.
Yeah, but not the four letter one...
::Runs off while giggling madly::
Oh, Tony and I will do that later. It's the whole fetish thing....
Oh, I like that word.
TONY! We gotta go get me some of that sweet, sexy power armor... now!
Heh, and here I had you pegged as latex, leather and lace girl... complete with the whips and cat-o-nine's...
Umm... have you been looking in the locked and heavily signed 'do not enter' closet? Not good.
At least she didn't see the restraints and costumes.
::Stage whisper::
She thinks I'm stupid as well as blind. Good thing she didn't notice the bar-wench costume was missing...
Er... if you look at the tag on the costume, you'd notice it was in your size. I couldn't squeeze into that with high-quality lubricant and the Army Corps of Engineers helping.
Nah, I meant the other costumes. Teehee. Leather armor and swords... Wee, I'm a female Aragorn!
::swish... swish... clang::
Ow... Tony. Could've reminded me that your armor is sword resistant. My arm's still vibrating... and the sword is wrecked.
At least I didn't scratch the armor's paint... armor... purrrrrrrrrrrrr
Drat!
Aragorn? I don't wanna be Aragorn... I'll take him and be me, mkay?
Oh, he's yours. No problem.
Be you.
Be you in a cool costume.
::begins throwing costumes all over theplace from her stash::
Genie? Fairie? Goth? Dominatrix? Pony? Lawyer? Clown?
::pauses:: Clown? How'd that get in here?
I fell off at 'Pony'!
How about Mistress of the Night, or some such thing? I have that costume myself!
Er.... ::digs deeper:: Yeah! Got it. In black, black lace, blood red, blood red lace and purple with a black lace over it.
Jeez, I know where all my money's going.
Uh, tax write off? Villain costumes?
Hey, Tony! I got a tiger-girl costume! Want me to wear that while we work?
::dodges the mini-missile which explodes against the re-inforced cement bunker wall doing little damage::
Jeez, ok. Could've just said no. Oh, and you are paying to fix that mister!
Huh, why not just hand the tools from the shed and have him fix it himself?
I hear that's sweaty work to be doing...
::falls down as her entire brain function shifts over to imagining that scene::
Tools, shed, sweaty Tony... muscles...
::Tony walks out, glares at Witchy and proceeds to mop the puddle of Kiri up off the floor::
"Come on, Kiri. Puddles can't wear power armor."
Kiris don't melt, Witchys do!
::Throws death glare at Tony::
Watch it Mister, You don't intimidate me at all. I'll have your ass covered in boils faster than you can don your fricken armor... Oh, and my hexes goes right through it. Try scratching them boils through your armor, I dare ya!
::Tony wisely backs away with bucket-o-Kiri::
SOrry, ma'am. I'll just take Kiri back into the lab and show her the armor. That'll fix her... or I"ll get molested. Either way... win-win.
Yeesh, I do not need visuals, thankyouverymuch! Just go, get out of my way, I'm getting another brainfart here... Mind control in an aerosol spray can...
::Dives to her desk and start scribbling notes in a furious haste::
Me want! Me want!
::sprays a little in a fighter jockey's face::
You want to take me for a joyride in one of those super cool jets.
::sprays a little in a sexy billionaire's face::
You wanna marry me without a pre-nup... and you love only me.
Teehee, this is fun.
HEY?
::struggles as Tony again throws her over a shoulder and carries her back into the lab::
How did you get anything done when I wasn't here?
::Kiri shrugs:: Ad breaks?
::doors close again - the glow of the blow torch welding the doors closed can faintly be seen seconds later::
Welding the doors shut, how passeè. As if I can't open 'em with a snap of my fingers... Wanna see?
::Snap::
::Screams and backs away while covering eyes::
I'm blind, I'm blind!!!
What? ::Kiri innocently says as she peeks out of the partially constructed chest of power armor::
::Tony is in the far corner putting the welding equipment away... sees the open doors... sighs... and starts dragging it over to a workstation muttering about manacles and 5' chain leads::
::Kiri leans out and whispers to Witchy:: Kinky.
Kinky, indeed. And if he thinks for a second he's gonna get them anywhere near my body, he's sadly mistaken. One word... BOILS!
::Screamed from the corner::
For her! For her! Not you! You... go... brew something wicked... or... play with your... cat... The manacles and 5 foot chain are to make sure she FINISHES A PROJECT.
::Kiri blushes::
You've got over fourteen partially finished projects here. Finish one and we'll celebrate.
::Kiri's head pops up:: Celebrate?
::sigh:: Yes.
WooHOO!!!! ::Furious banging inside of her armor::
::Tony glances over and mouths::
This might be a bad thing.
For you maybe, not for me or her or the cause.
Dang, girl, he walked right into that one!
Didn't he?
::BANG BANG BANG::
Hmm... I've got extra pieces here. Tony? Why do I have extra pieces?
::Quick glance... smothered grin::
Nope, you're good.
::Runs out with Kiri chasing him::
You're lying. I'd best be able to fly, mister!
Oh boy...
::Witchy walks back to her quiet lab, shaking her head::
Peace at last!
::both armors' replusor systems go online as the suits take flight::
"You'd better run, b*tch!" Kiri bellows as she chases Tony.
"Catch em if you can."
::eardrums all through the base rumble from the chos of the replusors racing off::
::fifteen seconds later the repulsor echoes halve in strength and a shriek joins the noise::
KERWOOMPH! A fine layer of dust is shaken loose from the impact.
::twenty minutes later the scratch, thump, whine, grind is right outside your lab::
"The extra screws were from the repulsor sync control, I slammed into one of the base's walls after the connections worked loose."
::continues to limp toward her lab... shreds of her armor hanging off of her...::
"I'm sprinkling itching powder in his armor jock and breaking the opening mechanism... scratch that itch!"
