I’m bored. I’ve got a lot to do, but it requires running a process which is running really really sloooooowly this morning. So until that gets done, there’s not much else for me to do. Bleh. I hate being bored like this. ---

First off, we had us some baaaaaaad weather here last night about quitting time and a possible tornado out in Oveido. I’m hoping **fcm’s** baby girl wasn’t anywheres near there. One of my brothers lives out that way and I haven’t heard from him but that’s not unusual. Nextus, **bibi** cute pics. The crockpot one is a hoot! Happy Hump Day everybody! Tupug ---

[QUOTE=Tupug Anachi] You are one sick puppy! 😃 [/QUOTE] I’ll second that. Where are the cartoons of the cat locking the dog (or the rat) out of the house or something? Magic is entirely too smart. When I left the cat suite this morning, the door didn’t completely catch on the latch. He hears that - and pushes it open to release all of the cats into the house. I spent 45 minutes this morning rounding up cats. Got Connor’s road bag down to the office for the away games this weekend - we don’t have a home game until the 17th which bites. I also got the BC meeting reminder postcards mailed. My “to do” list is clean for the moment. I didn’t sleep well last night. I am going to nap. ---

This week both school and work have been ganging up and trying their best to kill me. I took Sunday to completely ignore everything that I had to do and instead celebrated Guy Fawkes day by taking my lady friend to a screening of _V For Vendetta_ (I had other plans, but apparently the school has issues with burning effigies of the pope, go figure). At work Friday is a government holiday, which means that even though I don’t technically get the day off the office will be closed and I simply won’t get paid for the day :mad:. Such are the woes of being a contractor in a government office thousands of miles from my company. On top of that our production schedule which usually runs to the 12[sup]th[/sup] now needs to be complete on the 9[sup]th[/sup], so I am swamped. Speaking of cashmere (it was mentioned in the OP, I’m just a little behind) I got a new cashmere topcoat yesterday and it is wonderful. I blew most of my excess spending money for the next couple of weeks, but it was worth it. You needn’t worry **Rosie** , I’m pretty sure that quoting _1776_ (also known as the greatest musical ever) exonerates you for not voting, regardless of your reasons. ---

_flibble_ _flobble_ _fwoomp_ Today is a very bleh day, brought to me in part by the icky gray and rainy weather. My activities for the rest of the day will consist of some combination of doing homework, eating food, and watching anime. … Come to think of it, my life is pretty good. In honor of the election kerfluffle, here’s a political pun[del]dit[/del] for you: > [@Pun of the Day](#): > > The Cube King stood on the balcony and addressed his subjects. “I know you’re all worried about the war with Sphereworld. But I tell you now that the only thing we have to sphere is sphere itself!” **Ali** (May I call you **Ali**?), what’s your major? ---

[QUOTE=Mindfield] I don’t think I’ve ever met a dog that didn’t like getting wet. Are you sure your cat isn’t telling him horror stories when they’re alone? [/QUOTE] No, the cat likes to get wet. He jumps in the bathtub after we shower and rolls around in the wetness. He’s weird. When I shove the dog outside (because I know damn well she has to go potty), she stands there looking at me with those pleading eyes. “Let me back in! I’m getting wet! Yeah, I have to pee, but I’ll wait!” ---

> [@Spats](#): > > Ali (May I call you Ali?), what’s your major? **Ali** ’s just fine. I am currently finishing up my Computer Science undergrad. My classes are really not that hard in and of themselves, but frankly I hate my major and cannot motivate myself to put any effort into it anymore. Unfortunately for me I came to this conclusion far enough into school that it would be counter productive for me to switch majors, so instead I am going to finish my B.S. in CS and then go on to get a grad degree in something I actually want to do. I am sure I’ve seen it mentioned before but while I know that you are in grad school for something, what it is I cannot recall.
