Kirk lurks in the murk with a Turk

I think all of one person who reads my journal will get the subject line. *waves to that person*

That being said: Sunday off for the hurricane, Monday and Tuesday off for not working 40+ hours a week and getting paid overtime.

Looks like Dennis will hit the Mobile Bay area, but we'll still get smacked around a bit.

Oh, yes, remember in my last journal when I said I'd be as busy as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest Friday night? Well, I so, so was. Friday and Saturdays are our busiest nights usually, and I was the only person on fountain. Every single fucking person who came wanted ice cream. Many of them wanted multiple varieties of it. We had so many drive-offs because I couldn't get the drinks out in time. I was also stuck making drinks after we closed, I was so behind on making them. Gack!

Tonight was better, though we still had some drive-offs. This time the back up came from there only being two carhops to take stuff out, and at any given time, one was on the speaker taking orders and the other was delivering orders. At the end of the night, the other fountain-girl and I started taking orders, which was cool.

On an unrelated note, writing Snape is impossible with ABBA playing.

Now I'm going to listen to the musical version of War of the Worlds.

More G1 Episodes

"The Immobilizer"

- You know, before I saw her, I thought Carly was a brunette. I think I liked my mental picture of her better than how she looks in the actual cartoon.

- If the Decepticon base is really close enough to the surface for someone to scuba down there, why haven't we dropped depth charges on it? It worked on Innsmouth, and the Decepticons are ever so much more of a threat than the Deep Ones. Besides, it would give our submarine corps something to do.

- Carly may have provided a pseudo-science explanation for why she thought switching the wires in the immobilizer would reverse the effect, but I think she just switched in on the basis of "well, it's bound to do something". Chaos theory for the win!

- Wheeljack invented a device that puts the target at absolute zero. This freaks me out, but I don't rightly recall the science behind why. I know absolute zero is currently impossible with human tech. I also seem to recall a description of the heat-death of the universe starting when something reaches absolute zero and it spreads. Of course, I could be completely mis-remembering that part.

- Watching Spike try to explain to the police officer that he wasn't driving the car, so he wasn't doing anything illegal was quite amusing.

- Jazz has the awesomest sound and light system ever.

"Autobot Run"

- I haven't had quite this much of a headache from an episode since "Autobot Spike".

- Megatron's fusion cannon seems to have been reduced to the status of giant laser pointer for this episode. Really, why didn't he just shoot the Autobots when he had the chance? Shooting is NOT too good for your enemies.

- So far, the S2 episodes with the Constructicons in them have been fairly lame. Apparently, Constructicons do not make episodes better. Is sad.

- Much love for Koi for pointing out to me at least two different semi-plausible reasons why the Transfixatron had any effect whatsoever on Devastator. It silences my griping about how the transfixer should have just trapped him in robot-mode (i.e. done nothing useful).

- The race was cool, though I was sad that Wheeljack didn't race. He's such a pretty car.

- Lovecraftian trash compactors are all well and cool. I still propose just shooting the Autobots.
