1. mrsalemp rescued a set of Swainson's Hawks and named one of them Captain Jack Hawkness. It's pretty sweet, except that the second one, whom she almost named Ianto, died (he was pretty hurt when they rescued and turned him over,TBF), and now Jack apparently has West Nile Virus and refuses to eat.

My life remains eternally more tragic than everyone else's because your photo host is blocked at my work. Once again, I am forced to wait until I get home to see the latest posties ( ... )

amand_r July 22 2009, 14:56:26 UTC

AHAHAHHA. CHECK YOUR GMAIL.

Also? How much do I love that my supersperm post its are at your workplace.

I AM EVERYWHERE. MUCH LIKE JACK'S COCK.

Oh, dear. I'll bet you didn't bat an eye when a government worker with the ability to issue COMMANDS OF DEATH handed the temp her password on a post-it, either, did you?

See, I work for a BIG HUGE EFFING BANK. Your photo host is blocked. You think all possible venues of me getting personal e-mail aren't blocked as well? Here, here's my password to "Hal": open the pod bay doors, baybee!

Why Livejournal is not blocked remains an eternal mystery, because all other social networking and generally fun sites ARE, including Dreamwidth. Maybe they just forgot LJ is out there.

But since you're being nice, I shall PM you my top seekrit work account.

I got it, but can I send attachments to YOUR SEKRIT LAIR'S EMAILZ?

BTW, I freaking LOVE Ovaltine. But it's gotta be the European Ovaltine in the orange canister. The crap they sell here in the States is way too sweet. Hubby's mom is Swiss. Ovaltine is a way of life for him. I have been assimilated.

ALL OVALTINE HAS THAT SHIT ASS WHEAT UNDERTASTE TO IT. I am skeptical. I was that kid who was all, 'this tastes like it's healthy. Is this healthy?"

I LOVE THIS TIMES ELEVENTY BILLION.

HAHAHHHAHA I HOPE YOU LIKE ORANGE. IT WAS THE FIRST PENCIL I PICKED UP.

Shower curtain rods marita_c July 22 2009, 16:39:51 UTC

I have recently discovered the existence of shower curtain rods that curve outwards. Once I installed one of those in my bathroom, my life has been completely transformed!!! No more cold, wet, icky shower curtain that starts groping and clinging in the middle of my shower. Oh no. Now it's all ROOMY. I can move, spread my arms around, and the shower curtain is WAY BACK THERE. This seemed like very relevant information, just so you know.

Re: Shower curtain rods amand_r July 22 2009, 16:54:36 UTC

I have seen them, and man do I want one.

In the dream, the rubber parts that wedge the rod up are old and cracked and dry, so the only thing keeping it up is the sheer pressure. NOT UNLIKE MY CURRENT RL SHOWER CURTAIN ROD.

Re: Shower curtain rods lawsontl July 22 2009, 16:57:57 UTC

Um, y'all ever hear of shower doors? No curtain necessary. Nothing blows around when the air shifts in the room. And you don't have to replace them every six months or so when they start falling apart from bizarre moldy funkitude.

I realize they can also be boring, because they're a fixed thing. You can change your bathroom by changing the curtain. But I will take a picture of my mom's bathroom, so you shall see that no amount of shower door will stop the most devoted of lace flingers. My mom's shower door has valances. And tie backs. And rosettes. It's sorta so appalling that it's almost good.

My parents have a shower door, but I rent a townhouse, so no door installation for me. You know what I hate about shower doors, though? The soap scum. Our Pgh water is hard as shit, and my parent's doors are cloudy with mineral deposits, no matter what they do.

Right now, my shower curtain is clear with a map of the world. Clear, so I can see the psychos coming, map of the world, so I can figure out where places like Svalbard and the Jan Mayen Islands are. OH AND SO I CAN ACCURATELY DRAW THE BRITISH ISLES ON A POST IT.

amand_r July 22 2009, 19:55:30 UTC

OMG WHO WOULD I SHIP YOU WITH?
NOT HELLO KITTY. TO EFFING EASY.
