I have a shit-ton of work to do (I'm busting my ass through an average of eight chapters a day on three different books right now), I'm still planning to start my gig with the flamingoes and red pandas on Wednesday which might also necessitate going to the zoo tomorrow to do paperwork, I hadn't bought boots yet, and I have a huge mountain of ( Read more... )

Life in our house today has been a combination of this:

Why did we want to have pets again? I'm having a really hard time right now remembering that reasoning.

Also, I punched Shylah in the face, by accident, while describing a tipsy Meryl Streep to morthael, and I bet that's ( Read more... )

It's really quite understandable that after two weeks of unexpected stress, heavy and out-of-the-ordinary activity, and high levels of people contact, I would get sick ( Read more... )

Friday we made a quick stop at IKEA and then went to the Fair and had a very enjoyable time even beyond meeting famous crab fishermen: lots of animals to observe and touch, produce displays, fascinating crafts and collections, wine tasting (really!), trashy food, and the endless parade of human behavior, as well as an unexpected encounter with domichan.

Still far too busy. Still having to put shedloads of things off to the side because I don't know when I'll be able to get to them.

Highlights of the weekend:
--Snow leopard cubs, penguins, arctic foxes, up-close raptors, bears, a sleepy jaguar, mini-donkeys and mini-cows gobbling romaine, and morthael's ongoing appeal to goats ( Read more... )

morthael brought me a Slurpee.

I would like to go somewhere with A/C today, but I have actual work to do, and I have to be here to sign for my damn Fluevogs (which had to be shipped from the Chicago store as they were the only ones with my size in stock) which could arrive any time in the next seven hours. So I guess I'll just sweat it out.

We had plans for today: Get up rather early, head downtown and to Northgate to take care of some final needs before C15, then come home in early afternoon and do housework, homework for morthael, and for me sewing, wardrobe testing, and settling my packing list ( Read more... )

Hey, Nature?

Yeah, I know it's April Fools' Day, and that's a pretty clever joke.

Now, could you please knock it the hell off with the snow?

(Yes, it is snowing here in the CD. Wet, fairly small flakes and nothing's sticking...but still snow.)

In other news, this is the only thing on today's theme that I've liked. Then again, I'm a nerd.

Friday evening was a lovely time of great company, wine, laughter, fabulous food, inappropriateness, and the best tequlia I've ever had. (Anybody remember what it's called?) I knew it would be exactly that if I could just get myself to show up and out of my foul, apathetic mood (and once I got myself past the intense body hatred that occurred ( Read more... )

I went out a little while ago to clear off my car and make sure it was still in one piece and make sure it starts. (It is, and it does.) It took 10 minutes to even get to the point of being able to see the glass portions of the car and climb into it ( Read more... )
