it's already been a lousy week and the week's not over yet
We got advance notice--today--that the new repair person was coming out--tomorrow. So we've been spending all day, off and on, cleaning the kitchen, doing dishes, sweeping, mopping, running loads of laundry and dishes in the dishwasher, scrubbing counters, toilets, cleaning catboxes, organizing, putting away, tucking out of sight.
Don't let me mislead you--the whole house helped in this. Well, all but the middle child, who balked at having to clean his room, so was given the Next Ultimatum: clean it, or his parents will empty it tomorrow.
Yeah, that worked so well last time...
At any rate, tired now. Tired exhausted dead tired.
This is UNBELIEVABLY gorgeous. That relates to Mike's Amazing Cakes, out of Seattle. For what they offer--custom event cakes to any fantasy your mind can dream up, shipped anywhere in the US--their prices are not bad at all.
Heated bra?
Branding the President. (See also DOOM.)
The watch phone arrives!
And these are definitely not childrens' books...
Oh, this is gonna be good...
And something I've been thinking of, off and on. Relevant only if you know the situation elsewhere, elsewise, I've been in a Shelley mood.
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my works. Ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Percy Bysshe Shelley. Madman and poet. Excellent well with the turn of a poignant phrase.
{Late revisement: Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog won for Best Online Sensation for the Peoples' Choice Awards! The PCAs are CRAP, and always have been, but...yay! People voted for Dr. Horrible!
(There is woot.
And check out a book I never knew existed, The Recently Deflowered Girl, by Edward Gorey. HEE!}
