Yoinked from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) deannawol : Movie/TV Quotes Quiz
Think of a TV show/Movie you like
Look it up on IMDB
Click on memorable quotes and choose one
Repeat 15 times
Post them for people to guess
1. On XXXX you're nothing but a bureaucrat, an administrator. If you come with me, you can be a soldier again. Think about it, Major: the chance to fight against a superior foe in a righteous cause; to protect a defeated and broken people from a cruel aggressor. - Deep Space Nine As guessed by deannawol
2. Well... I'm a highly trained federal agent so it's really not a fair comparison. - NCIS , as gotten by deannawol after prompting from me.
3. If you once again try to harm me or one of my companions, my patience with you will expire. - Is not Firefly.
4. Okay, listen up. This one's in the kitchen. I'm here to fix your faucet, so check your six. I'm gonna replace the strainer part, and I'm gonna replace the washer. It's gonna be a real knife fight. Now I'm gonna utilize a monkey wrench and perhaps even a plunger. And when I'm done, you'll have water. It'll be hot, and it'll be cold. And one more thing. It's okay to be scared. Space: above and Beyond as guessed by deannawol
5. No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. - Babylon 5. as remembered by elmyra
6. There are things waiting in the darkness. Creatures of metal, fire and blood. - Dr. Who as guessed by deannawol
7. You're not seriously gonna believe this man, are you? Are you? HE ISN'T EVEN FROM 'ROUND HERE! - Hot Fuzz as guessed by manic_deadpool
8.There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. - correctly Guessed by deannawol , who refuses to name it, so open to others!
9. You don't actually think they spend $20,000.00 on a hammer, $30,000.00 on a toilet seat do you? - Independance Day, Guessed by elmyra
10. They say there's always someone bigger and stronger than you. I just never thought it applied to me.
11.Actually, there aren't that many scientific errors in Star Trek, especially considering how long ago it was made. There are certain improbabilities, but not that many outright errors. - Criminal Minds As Guessed by deannawol
12.We take Pete's car, we drive over to Mum's, we go in, take care of Philip - "I'm so sorry, Philip" - then we grab Mum, we go over to Liz's place, hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over. - "Shaun of the Dead" As guessed by elmyra
13. Your brother goes into a dangerous confrontation with heavily armed felons, and you prepare him with a lecture on the movement of subatomic particles? Numb3rs as guessed by deannawol
14. We're building an igloo in Central Park! It's going to be legendary! Snow-suit up! - How i met your mother, as guessed by r4phael
15. If it's "creepy" to use the Internet, military satellites, and robot aircraft to find a house full of gorgeous young models so I can drop in on them unexpected, then FINE, I'm "creepy". The Big Bang Theory, as Guessed by gingereejit |

The sky seems pretty clear for the first time all month, and no word of the Shannon rising even more.
Apparently the N4 is blocked in Carrick On Shannon, which hasn't been mentioned in the news, also Lough Key is now 3 feet higher than normal.
Basically a lot of water is now in our lakes and rivers, and it is going to be awhile before that all washes out. Here are some intresting photos from the area!
Some in the UK have been reporting these storms as 1 in a thousand years or some such, i sure hope they are right in that. |

Well I got home on friday, and found my bed. slept for a couple of hours, and then (feeling slightly better)wombled around for awhile. before returning to bed.
This was the pattern of my weekend, i only left the house twice over the weekend, once for lunch on sat, and sunday, because i needed to get some grocery shopping done.
Both trips were a lot more draining than expected.
However, seeing as i am mostly better, just prone to being tired, i thought it best to come to work. at least i am warm today (though wheter that is my running a slight fever, or the office being warmer i am not sure!) Though the Picket line tomorrow will be intresting! |

So i am currently getting sicker as the day goes on. Started with headache, now nasty cough. It really hurts when i cough, parts of my chest feel like they are exploding, and the head is ringing.
if i am no better by home time, i will be missing out on WexWorlds. While i would risk the drive, with the weather (only two major floods on my route) not when i am also sick, and likely to have lapses in concentration! |

|---|
So have upgraded main computer to the last Release Candidate of Windows 7. it looks very cool, and works very smooth! Which considering it is a 3 year old machine is not bad at all.
The computer was a Vista Spec machine i paid to "side" grade with to WinXP. So i suppose its good that it works. The only actual problem is that the wireless card i have does not work under Vista/Win7, so the machine does not have internet access.
I shall have to sort that out at some point soon!
In other news, i have broken the wardrobe that was in my room. i have purchased a new one from ikea, and even put it together I think the doors will require two people, and possibly a drill, so have left them off. Sadly i forgot to purchase the all important rail for the Wardrobe, so back to Ikea tomorrow! will pick up a couple of shelves as well.
Off course my room currently has two wardrobe size objects in it at the moment, so its a bit packed, however we are moving towards it where i want it to be. Which should allow me to get a bigger bed in, and still have room to move around in, I hope.
Work has being Quiet of late, waiting for other people to finish, so that i can do the required work, and get on with it. Starting soon (not Monday, but the Monday after) i am taking over a guys job as he heads off on "special unpaid leave" for two months. this will limit how quiet work is. It also means that i am the only guy who has a clue on certain important systems as the guy i am replacing' boss left a few weeks ago and so no one else has a clue how it works. It should be fine, as long as i remember how to do the work!
Still, if i can get another quiet day on Monday i should finish my Confess scenario.

Just back from a pretty cool BBQ.
It has me thinking. I might move, so that i can invite people over. i am never comfortable inviting people here, as it is not the most comfortable or friendly of places.
However if i move, thats it. i won't be moving again for awhile, and that puts paid to a couple of plans i have had.
hmmmm wish list for new place:
1. On Luas Red Line, or Dart line.
2. Free Parking
3. Large living areas.
any thoughts?

| » Local Election 09 |
|---|
Have spent a lot of the day listening to Newstalk and watching Twitter and reading the Echo Website. Lots of Election Coverage.
Dublin is looking like their will be a left Wing alliance in charge of the City Council. Tallies are saying that Labour may win as many as 21 seats. The Majority point is 27 seats. Given that PBP will probably have 2 seats, maybe 3, and a couple of Sinn Fein seats and well things could be interesting.
George Hook on News talk has made a good point about how Parties in the south won't deal with Sinn Fein in the south, but insist on them having a voice in the North! Still I don't like the party, but if the people are voting for them, well then politicians will have to deal with them.
All very exciting. Next time though i think that i will have to have an Election Results party, that could be great fun.
Hey, it could be happening before the end of the year.

So we are moving floors on Thursday, down one from where we are at the moment. It has given us oppurtunities to clear out large amounts of print offs of stuff on computers. So far four wheely bins full of paper for confidential waste destruction. Of course the move has some downsides, my new desk will be smaller and more crowded as I shall be in a modular furniture situation. So now there will be
Many people who will be able to see my computer screen, shall have to be more discrete about what I am looking at. Anyway guess I should get back to it.

So a quick note after a first pass. I have not read any of the short stories, novels, novella's or even noveletes. Though anathema is on the bookshelf, Might give that a shot over the weekend. However I have read thee of the graphic stories. However the ones I have read are parts of ongoing stories, and that's were they get how great they are. The movies are pretty much as expected, one I have not heard of. The real interest is the short movies. How does anyone thing turn left is that good of a story? Still if I was voting it would not be for either of the doctor who stories. It would be doctor horrible or battlestar galactica. Revalations is a fantastic episode, but needs a lot of setup to make sense. Oh well I will have a closer look.

| » Warpcon 2009 |
|---|
Another Con year begins.
So what to say. In general I enjoyed myself. Got in a number of boardgames, and got to meet new people, and generally relax. Which was my aim for the weekend.
While it never affected me, but the Con seemed to have a certain level of disorganisation.
The biggest problem i personally saw was that when i looked at the Con Timetable, and was told there was errors, to the point that the larp that was on Friday was timetabled on Saturday afternoon. This is not a good thing.
Even though they had a printer, and where advertising things all weekend, they never attempted to print up a new time table, to let people know what was going on.
There was also the return of the feature of Warpcon i have always hated. RPG's in the main hall. That being the case i never attempted to play an RPG for the entire weekend.
However on the Plus side. The guest they had were the usual friendly people. David Nykl is a lovely man to talk to, We had some intresting conversations in the bar and also the main hall. There was also plenty of people willing to play Battle Star galatica, and while i only got in the one game, i think that i was witness to 5 games played at various stages!
In general the weeknd was full of positives for me, because i spotted what i would find negative, and avoided them. I would recomend Warpcon, Because it is invaribly fun.
Also i broke my long stop on Werewolves of Millers Hollow and GM'ed a game of it at the closing Ceremony.

|---|

So I am told that the canteen building at NUIM has gone on fire. Apparently the building has being gutted. Today and tomorrow is the open day for the college, so to add to the confusion of lots of third level students after being evacuated from nearby buildings, we have a large amount of second level students hanging around as well. In the short term this is a problem for the college, as the sport halls that are used for exams share the Complex. So this will cause problems there as well. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

So spent the week, on a training course. We use the stuff a lot in work, but the technology is horrible to interact with. The course material is incredibly boring, I am hoping that tomorrow will not be to much of a drag. After work I am heading down to my mothers for the weekend, and I may be offline.

Every so often I come along and put a post up about not posting in awhile. This is another of those posts. There is stuff going on that leaves me to tired to post, which is no excuse, it is my reason though. Work is not very fun at the moment, but hopefully that will pass. Of course it's a lot better than if I was working same place as last year, which has contacted me about doing some work on the next few weekends. I do need the money, but other stuff planned. Oh well.

I must admit that i like the McCain speech. It is a speech filled with hope and all of that. I wonder how it will be for him to go back to the senate, and work there with a much weaker position for him. Back in 2000 i would have preferred him over Al Gore.
Was going to wait for Obama's speexh, but tired now. Going to go to bed now.
Just a thought before bed. CNN is predicting 56 senate seats for the Democrats (well 54 and 2 independents), along with an increased majority in the house of representatives. Which puts a lot of pressure on Barrack Obama to deliver on what he has promised.
Change.
