TV, RL, and Memage
Just watched the season finale of Veronica Mars tonight.
Well, that season was very cleanly tied up. Along with something from the first season... Something that I had thought was already taken care of.
And, I gotta say... WTF, Beaver?! HOLY CRAP! And poor Mac...
And I wonder what Kendall/Priscilla Casablancas needed Keith for...
So, Rob! Where's Season 3?!
~#~#~#~#~#~
Watched "The Doctor Dances" again tonight when it was on Scifi.
"Mummy? Muuuuuuuummy?! I'm here, Mummy!"
Still good.
~#~#~#~#~#~
Speaking of my Mummy...
Got my mom some flowers for Mothers Day. She asked for some flowers in hanging pots that do well in shade. So, I got some Lobelia, because I don't think that she's ever had that type before.
Sunday, we're going to Ciao Bella for lunch.
So, anyway, while I was there at the home despot (sic), I scored some peppermint. I looked around in the garden department, and they've got some sweet stuff. I think that I'm going to pick up some grapes. That way I can make Meschi when the plants get bigger.
[grins]
[stomach growls]
First thing, though... I've got to pull up those bloody choke cherry trees. They're the only thing that seems to attract those accursed tentworms, and once they're gone, I can put the grapes there.
Or maybe I'll put the grapes up by the house, and augment my blackberry collection... :D

Been boring at work this week, aside from the reappearance of Il Duce. Bastard. Well, I won't have to deal with that frakker for much longer.
~#~#~#~#~#~
The Buffster (saucylax55) started her new job directly after graduating. She's very busy. I get the sense that her boyfrined isn't happy about it, and I get the sense that she's not happy with him for his not being happy with that.
[shakes head]
Kids.
~#~#~#~#~#~
I rewired the lines that are hooked into the key switch on the truck. I have voltage to the flasher. Now I have to run new wires to the blinkers.
I am going to try to fix the fan that's mounted to the dashboard. I've got a new wire made. Now all I need to do is put a new switch.
And then, I'm going to finish wiring the horn the right way.
And after that, the gas gauge is getting some TLC.
~#~#~#~#~#~
I fixed the washer fluid pump in my car the other day.
It royally sucked. I hate automotive engineers. WHY do they have have to cram 10 pounds of shit into a five pound sack?
Strike that. I know why. I just don't like it. I had to disassemble half of the crap in the drivers side of the engine compartment to do it.
Typical.
