Morning Update

[smittywing]

So, a pigeon just flew out from under my desk when I sat down. FAIL. As soon as the heart palpitations stop, I'll go back to yesterday's post and start answering comments - it never fails that as soon as I start a discussion on something either my internet goes out or I sick. I'm awesome like that.

Speaking of, yesterday's post always has

Comments

I have to admit that I am less than fond of the comment posting aspect. I find it hard to browse and read, and am less likely to read commentfic than fic posted in entries proper. :/

What she said. I only read commentfic when people point me to it specifically, and even then I grumble under my breath as I do.

Fortunately, most people will repost something they wrote for a fest in their own journals, cleaned up and sometimes expanded - unless they're embarrassed and don't want to 'fess up to it.

ROFL! What kind of place do you work, that a *pigeon* got under your *desk*?!?!

[smittywing]

I work in a city and we've had the windows open because the weather's been nice. I assume the pigeon just stepped in this morning and saw the shelf under my desk and decided that would be a good place to perch. We closed the window enough that it shouldn't happen again. :P

I'm always startled by pigeons in subway tunnels because I don't expect them underground, even though they are fairly common.

A pigeon?

...I don't have anything to say to that. Except, dude. Dude.

[smittywing]

I didn't see him when he was under there, but I definitely saw him when he flew out, past my legs. Fortunately for my freaking-out factor, I am wearing pants instead of a skirt. We've uh, lowered the window panes to a less accessible height. ;)

A pigeon?

Holy crap.

omg, pigeon! Unexpected bird is unexpected.
