I will spare you the doings of the past few days, all of which would either involve copious amounts of carpet cleaning, weed control, and TMI (not related), and simply cut to the chase ( Read more... )

You're probably tired of being Metaquoted, but that Jetsons passage richly deserves the recognition.

I recommend a lemonade-pitcher of stout, eye-opening Screwdriver. Vitamin C and grain alcohol: Polish that off. Do it Russian style, taking bites of hors d'oeuveres between shots, so you have food on your stomach. You will get squiffed. Make every effort to finish the pitcher.
When you've recovered consciousness, your cold will be gone.

Another good pharmaceutical choice is Hibernol.

Shit, metaquote away. As long as it's not about my period, I figure I'm safe.

Sudden inexplicable hyperactivity is the most mysterious and aggravating phenom amongst housepets. Just be glad you don't have a dog like my mother's. At some point in puppyhood, she developed a psychosis that, upon getting in a car and hearing the ignition start, causes her to hurl her 55 lb self around the backseat, snapping at passing objects and yipping and shrieking like she's been fed LSD and sodomized with a cactus, until the moment the car stops and the engine goes quiet again. I flatly refused to ride in the car with that dog after having her claws rend my shoulders over the front seat mid-flight or her bark deafen me at point-blank range many times over, until we took to latching her in a carrier on car trips, in which she continued her frenetic madness ( ... )

>>It's like being disowned and supplanted by a violent retard.

Excuse my while I laugh my ass off at the incredibly apt metaphor.

What a pain. I will never understand people who have such affection for ill-behaved animals (or children, for that matter).

Someone should tell you that you write magnificent prose, as well. :) ceruleansummer July 28 2005, 19:52:15 UTC
It might as well be me. :) Thanks for the entertainment and the mind fertilizer! =D

Why thank you. I always try to make my LJ contributions amusing on some level. :)

I see you got the thing I sent ya. I know Heath looking like a dork gets you all hot 'n bothered.

Let's see... This year we will get The Brothers Grimm, Serenity, Mirrormask, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Those, plus a couple more I'm forgetting, make it look like a good year for movies.

Oh, and I just saw the V for Vendetta trailer. I know Alan Moore has a hate-on for Hollywood right now, but I think this will make it up to him.

Added to the ones I haven't even seen yet . . . ugh. I'm just going to start going without the man, I swear.

Oh, and in a couple of months there will be an art book based off of GRRM's SOIAF books. It's got Drogo on the cover.

*gasps* Where can I find out more about this? It is Amok's artwork or someone else entirely? *eager look*

Water pistol for the cats - every time they start fighting, zap them then ignore them. You don't add to the general tension by yelling and making them even more wound up but they do get a short cold shock and a sudden decrease in dignity when they've suddenly got a flat patch of wet fuzz on their head and drips on their whiskers ;o)

Oh, and get well soon xx

Actually, I find that canned air is perfect for exactly this purpose. ;)

Canned was going to be my suggestion as well. Our cat, a large tuxedo male, leaves no pillow or blanket alone in his search to satisfy his (neutered) sexual desires. A shot of canned air over his head sends him flying.

As a friend calls it, "hiss in a can."
