I took the Celebrity B-list test and I'm officially bummed out.

Which Annoying B-list Celebrity Are You?

**Leboman** · 09-05-2003, 08:07 PM

Well, it's Friday night but I have to work tomorrow, so I'm going to be thinking about sleep here shortly.
I'm still bummed about the Drew Carey thing but it could've been worse, I could've been Paulie Shore.

I finished reading "Mystic River" and I am eagerly anticipating the film in October. It stars Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, Tim Robbins and was directed by Clint Eastwood. It is going to be intense. The book was incredible.
I wish I could write like that, but alas, all of my stories become bogged down in sappy, sentimental nostalgia and end up being goofy. Oh well, that's what happens when you hit a mid-life crisis ten years too soon.
I think I'm going to put on some King's X and get ready for bed. Geo and Chris are in there watching a Sponge Bob DVD. I've grown to like that show after initially hating it. We had Sponge Bob Bible lessons at summer camp this past June and it gave me a whole new outlook on it. They have moral lessons in each episode for the most part, and we managed to find Biblical truth lurking amongst the silliness. The kids, who were 3-5 graders loved it too.
Oh well, I'm gonna crash for the night. I ended up burning myself out in the freestyle poetry thread today.

Peace out

It is too early for me to be up. I despise getting up this early on a Saturday morning just to go to work....
I really need to find a job working Monday through Friday, this every other weekend thing is starting to get old. Let me stop complaining, at least I have job, right?
I won't be back home for another 13 hours, so all of you out there in blog-land have a good day, or night, depending on where you are.
Peace

Hey man have a good day at work (if that's possible)
When you get back, fill me in on what it is you do =]

tropicana · 09-06-2003, 04:35 AM

Wow. You'd be getting up at what... 5:30ish? Oi. That's hurt.
Have as good a day as possible on the job!

If I had known the Spanish word for roller coaster, or could've even gotten close to it, this blog would've been called the Cockroach's Roller Coaster Of Love.

Dunno if this has been said yet (didn't go through and read all 6 pages), but that would be..."La Montaña Rusa de Amor de La Cucaracha".

Just thought I'd say hello...and congrats on using Spanish in your blog's name, because that automatically makes it cool (even if it's bad grammar

).

Oh, and you said you wanted the picture in your sig to be a link. Here's the code you need:

[a href="http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/showthread.php?t=58073"][img src="http://www.christianguitar.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=22478"][/a]

Just replace all the ['s and ]'s with <'s and >'s, and it should turn out like this:

And if you don't want the border around the image, use this instead:

I'm actually sneaking in here at work, so I only have a minute.
Thanks Kati, I'll try to fix that when I get home. And yeah, my Spanish grammar is terrible. I have a masculine acticle for a feminine noun.

I'll update and expound when I get home around 6:30 PM EST.
Have a good one and thanks for the posts, I appreciate it.

u got of good. im regis philbin

**Leboman** · 09-06-2003, 08:57 PM

I didn't have time to sit and write tonight. Robin and I watched the movie "White Oleander". It was really intense. It's definitely not a light-hearted affair, so if you all decide to watch it, you've been warned.
Well, I have another early morning ahead of me, so I'm going to go to bed. At least I have Monday and Tuesday off. Woo Hoo.

nckcool_11 · 09-06-2003, 09:29 PM

nice 2 day weekend thats not a weekend. thats awesome.
anyway ive never seen white oleander. is it good?

**Leboman** · 09-07-2003, 06:07 AM

"White Oleander" was an incredible movie. It's about a girl whose mother goes to prison and she jumps around from foster home to foster home. That's really over simplifying it, but take my word for it, it was good.
I'm sneaking in at work again, so I must be brief.
I'm still gonna explain exactly what it is I do here, but I need more than the two or three minutes I have right now, so I will keep you all in suspense.

**Leboman** · 09-08-2003, 07:44 AM

Whoopie, I have two days off. I was gonna write some last night after church but I was tired and Robin needed to use the computer so I ended up watching football. Oakland versus Tennessee, pretty decent game, even though the officials were a little flag-happy.
Hey, the Carolina Panthers didn't blow their game in the fourth quarter yesterday, what a bargain.
Okay, enough football, I'm not even that big a fan, I watch it when there isn't anything else of interest on.
I need to read some blogs so let me go for now.

FTS · 09-08-2003, 07:45 AM

so tell me what you do for work?

**Leboman** · 09-08-2003, 08:10 AM

The request will now be met....

I operate a machine called a fluid bed granulator. It's a big stainless steel chamber that blows hot air around inside and mixes up raw materials. while spraying in a liquid binder solution. After the product is all "mixed" it dries it to a specified moisture level and then I do it all again.
That is a non-technical, over-simplified explanation, but it's pretty much what I do.
The raw materials are the powdered formds of whatever drug we happen to be making and the nonactive ingredients found in them. Usually Stearic Acid, Magnesium Sulfate and/or pregelatinized corn starch. The binder solution is typically water and povidone, which is an edible glue. Sometimes the binder will have more corn starch and be really thick, and it is a pain to deal with. But this week we're making Naproxen, which is the name of the drug in Alleve, so it has nothing but povidone and water binder.
Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, the naproxen is really vicious on the nasal passages so we wear respirators when we make it. Either that or have nosebleeds all day.
If you'd like a more detailed explanation of the granulation process I can oblige, but there isn't anything exciting about it.
