PEDW, Day 2, Part 2

Well. Interesting day. Actually that's not entirely true, it's been mostly very boring with the odd interesting bit. Sent faxes, checked addresses, drank coffee. Etc. I managed to leave the house without my iPod or my USB memory stick, both of which items I usually count as basic necessities for my survival. But I managed. I am reading The Left ( Read more... )

I know... and yet it all becomes strangely normal after a while. One can only sigh heavily and go on to speak of Belgian waffles.

Can I ask what a memory stick is?*lives under a rock*

My sympathies regarding your brother, I hope he gets the help he needs.

Re: 9/11 fridge magnet - be glad you're not living in NY - every other car has a 9/11 bumper sticker, every other place of business has a flag and/or a 9/11 sign, or sticker, or t-shirt, or something.

Re: Belgian waffles...you GO girl!!

Re: Ursula LeGuin...she seems interesting enough in the bookstore but have never brought her home.

Thanks. :)

Memory stick = sometimes called a USB key, or pen, or flash drive. You stick it in your USB port and save stuff on it.

Do read The Earthsea Quartet if you get the chance - I loved it.

I'm sure the books are a damn sight better than the mini-series they did on the Sci-Fi channel. Have you read The Mists of Avalon or The Lion & The Unicorn? Very good if you're into a fantasy/King Arthur kind of thing.

Oooh, I didn't even know you could get those!!!
/tongue in cheek

Family stuff sounds ick. Families are a very traumatic thing. Thanksfully the worst thing I have to worry about with mine currently is how much Master Swift's sub-woofer is making the house reverberate as he shoots virtual things.

I want to ask about men dusting things with their cocks but probably shouldn't.

And really, I must make some kind of effort to get this wool to you sometime this century.

Oh god. Families. I seem to have mine trained enough now that if something drastic happens they actually call me. This was not true in the past but, after I threw a serious hissy fit a few years back when nobody told me Mum was in hosptial, they finally got the idea.

*squeezes you firmly*

I am off for my own early night as I am knickered knackered knockered noo [to quote me mother].

*squeezes some more*

Ta mate. :)

I honestly don't think it occurs to them that I might like to know things. Or maybe they think that, as they know, I automatically absorb the knowledge along with them... weird.

Yeah, I think my lot think the same! It's probably more common that we think. x
