Happy Wodensday, folks…tonight is pub night but the weather doesn’t make me feel like it’s a “sitting outside all night” kind of thing. Never mind, friends will be seen and beer will be drunk, what more could you want? OK, perhaps a shark or two but I can live without them if I have to.

Quiet day in the orifice today, I am looking forward to going home in 25mins and then faffing about doing anything except the ironing.

Except for a scene near a certain cee-mint pond in Jawja, this one takes place in NYC; just to be safe, take an umbreller when you go out.

Howdy from the liberry in beautiful downtown large and in charge Cairo (pronounced KAY-ro), Jawja! I have some time before my next appointment and I already munched the sammich I brought with me. Yeah I coulda eaten somewhere here but I’m savin’ up my appetite for some Sonny’s tonight. Plus also I et me a biiiiiiiiiiig brekkie this mornin’.

I shall look at **Spidey’s** link when I am at da cave. I prefer not to do stuff like that when I’m on the liberry’s 'puter.

**Rockin’** appropriate/inappropriate appendages remain crossed re the irk gig.

**Nuts** appropriate/inappropriate appendages crossed for you as well to find irk.

**MOOOOOOM** I can understand the bein’ all good with the aquarium goin’ away. Then again the only time I look at fish is when I’m decidin’ which kind to buy and cook. 😃

Ok, gonna go check out what else is up on teh intartoobz.

Laterz!

Reports of the aquarium’s demise may have been premature. We’ve sighted both wrasses, both damsels, both black cromis, and even the hippo tang. It appears the only losses were the 2 yellow tangs (one had been iffy looking for a while) and the sailfin tang. \*\*FCD \*\*is prepping for a water change today and another on Firday. So for now, we will watch and wait.

Meanwhile, I’ve dumped between 30 and 40 five-gallon buckets of mulch on the front garden. I figure I need at least that much again, but I was achy, sweaty, and tired, so I quit and showered. Now I’m having a sammich.

Speaking of - I think I might know why my gut was unhappy last night. I went to make my sammich today on one of the rolls that I used yesterday, and I noticed fuzzies growing on the last 2. Since \*\*FCD \*\*didn’t eat any of those rolls, it’s a possibility. We’ll see how quickly I recover.

I’z tahred!!!

Tricked Hades! I’m doing happy dances all day because they are running the original right before the Squeeeqil. I can’t wait!!! I’m taking several hours off work just to get ready!

This time the sharkstorm hits New York. It promises more cameos than Mel Brooks “Silent Movie” and more chainsaws than “Stacy”. Now if I could only find online running commentary by Bruce Campbell the universe would be complete

It’s just a link to a certain page on IMDb’s website. See, I know how to use the spoiler box for NSF[del]W[/del] **tL** stuff. 😉  
Depending upon what you’re looking up, that site could be considered “research”

Apart from afghaning, I’ve made the executive decision that supper tonight will be shrimp, crescent rolls, and cantaloupe. Maybe some sort of veggie, too. We shall see.

Back to afghaning!

Day off, much goofing off will occur. Won’t have much opportunity for that once the semester starts next month.

Howdy Y’all! Got back from large and in charge KAY-ron about three-thirty. Went by the orifice for a few. Called Sonny’s to order dindin just before I left the orifice. Picked up dindin. OYKW and I et an early dindin and now he’s gone back to his place to deal with paperirk stuff poor thing. I could be doin’ that as well but I won’t. Da bear is tahrd and not in a paperirk mood at all.

I’ve never seen _Sharknado_. I am not dismayed over the fact at all.

We caught part of Sharknado - I thought it was hilariously horrible!

Supper has been ingested, and it was yum! After we digest a while, we’ll have ice cream. Perfect ending to a perfect day. I see an early night, too. I may even do some melatonin tonight.

I _[paid money](http://ryl.livejournal.com/866567.html)_ to see the first one. I’ll see the second one if Rifftrax gets their hands on it.

I had to go to the annual “Don’t Touch Bodily Fluids and Sharp Stuff” training this afternoon at the Airport Location. Fortunately I got to ride with Big Boss who is not afraid of I-26 E and will drive like a bat out of hell. He also showed me a back road between Airporttown and the Parkway. 😃

My brain is completely fried this week so I’m going to fritter away the rest of my afternoon.

**MOOOOOOM** I am considerin’ makin’ it a Melatonin night myself. I feel like I could go to sleep right now. So in a while I shall ingest a Melatonin and let it relaxate me to sleep early but not this early. I had considered mowage but that ain’t happenin’. Too tahrd for that.

\*\*swampy \*\*- I managed to break the main drive belt on our mower - I think something got stuck when I was mowing my way into the woods. My sweetie bought a replacement belt that he’ll install tomorrow. Guess that’ll learn me. 😃

If I took a melatonin now, I’d be unconscious in about 10 minutes…
