How ya doin’?
Irked for 14 hours. Everything hurts, i need to take some Vitamin Beer.
Flytrap, I’ll take some. Endless sushi platter!
Congrats on the B, April!
Well, I do have cats. No fishbowls, though I doubt the cats would mind.
Din-din was my shrimp/red pepper/leeks/mushrooms/ginger/garlic/noodle stuff.
I really should come up with a shorter name for that.
call it “the Tao of Shrimp”
What did you do with the chiclids?
*
Dammit!*
With the leeks?
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 56 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 83 and maybe rain. I am goin’ out to the east forty this mornin’. This usually is enough to bring on rain of epic, Arklike proportions.
flytrap purty fish! Looks tasty! 
StickyBuns that sounds like a good name. You can abbreviate HFUN, which is kinda jake.
TPTB are goin’ away first thing this mornin’. YAY!!!
Ok, I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants feedin’. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence. Onward and upward!
Happy Thursday Y’all!
Good morning! Another day in paradise… I found out this morning that I won’t be getting a new assignment and/or permanent full-time status. Don’t know why, but some emails were exchanged last night and that’s that. Which is fine - it’s not like I’m on a career track.
I’m hoping to finish the drawing from hell today without finding more problems. Every time the engineer issues a correction email, he feels compelled to mention that I found the problem. It’s not a bad thing, but some might interpret it less as diligent work and more as nit-picking… Whatever - I’m just trying to do my job the best I know how.
And on that note, work work work work work work work…
Ground crew and student pilot. That was 20+ years ago.
Blurf, y’all.
Blurf indeed. 4:44 am my time, and I have been wide awake for over an hour.
In other news, a little stray kitty seems to have adopted us. We do not need a new kitty, but she hasn’t left for almost a week. She is so skinny but is eating and using the litter box. The boy kitties are not happy, but they are tolerating her. She has no fear of the dogs, so that’s good. She is black as midnight and has orange eyes. #2 daughter has named her Black Matilda, so Tilly Kitty she is!
Wiki!
:goose:
grin BBBobio!!! How you doin?
wiki a black cat showin’ up close to Hallowe’en. Is there a hidden message there? :eek:
'Tis cloudy out. The good thing about that is that I won’t be headed into the sun as I drive east. I can’t think of a bad thing right now.
Ok, gotta get busy and on the road in a bit.
Well, I was trying on witch hats the other day . . . Her eyes are a deep pumpkin orange, she is definitely a Halloween kitty, a fact my ultra fundie mom did not miss. :rolleyes: (She is just a little black kitty who needed a home in October, satan had nothing to do with it.) She looks very much like the kitty in Coraline but is super lovey, with a meow bigger than she is and a large rusty purr.
[Frank Sinatra]There’s no nicer witch than you…[/FS]
I got to sleep in since I’m off today(although somebody was licking my elbow at 0530). Now I’m surfing and caffeinated, and Gordie has hiccups.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
C’n I have some fishies? I have a tank an’ everything! Admittedly, I already need to go buy myself a new tank, ‘cos the axolotls are gonna need a grown-up tank soon, rather than their current tupperware, and I still have 3 stubborn ol’ tetras in the tank I’m going to move them to.
Unfortunately, I have insufficient money right now for a splendid tank that such lovely cichlids deserve. Oh yeah, plus I don’t live on the same continent, and they’re too young to travel on a plane by themselves. Hm.
There’s a coffee roasting place down the road, and I think we must have some freak wind- I’ve never been able to smell it before from here, but today the house is full of roasting coffee aromas, and I wants some; I’ve already has as much caffeine as I can have and still expect to sleep tonight, but…
I nicked (ok, ok, with permission) some clay from my pottery class, 'cos I’m trying to work out how to make ocarinas, and I feel like such a tit trying to tune them in the class. Everyone else is really quiet, and there’s me going prrrp… peep… toot… tooooooot in the corner. Just not ladylike.
So, last night was choir practice. Our regular director is out sick, poor guy, and a friend of his stepped in. As this month’s theme in our worship year is “Death” (I know, Unitarians . . . ), we are doing, among other things, Mozart’s Requiem.
So, the substitute director has us sing with Di-di-di, instead of the Latin. Because Latin is challenging, and Mozart is frickin’ hard. But, we like Latin, so every two minutes, someone asked “can we sing the words now?”, and when our brave substitute director gave us the stink eye, it changed into “are we there yet?”
“Are we there yet?”
“Are we there yet?”
And he finally said “until further notice, sing di-di-di. Further notice is when I say 'hey, guys, sing in Latin!”
So I muttered sotto voce “you kids be quiet, or I’m turning this song around!” and cracked everyone up.
I love being the class clown.
Congrats.
My 17 year old doesn’t want a gf until he graduates from college. I don’t know if I should be happy or worried.
So the plumbers sent over to fix our leak in the 2nd bedroom had to cut into the wall and they said they may even have to jack hammer the floor. Oh Joy. So glad I rent and don’t have to pay for this.
*update, it looks like the drain from the air conditioning unit in the hallway closet is pooling and draining water into floor. So, the carpet and base board will probably have to be replaced.
Yuck Apes! Hope they get that fixed soon. Sounds awful.
sari your seventeen year old will be ok. He’ll know when it’s time for whatever. Heck, even I figured it out eventually.
doggio I could imagine either Hockey Lady or Gordie lickin’ your elbow. Either way it entertains me.
Oh and howdy y’all from beautiful downtown Sylvester, Jawja! I am in the local liberry [del]leachin’ off of[/del] makin’ use of their wifi. Hey, I am a duly bonified patron of the Jawja Pines Liberry System. Wifi is one of the perqs. I could be usin’ my irk aircard which I don’t pay for either, but the wifi is free and the aircard costs some money after so many gigabytes or sump’n of usage in a month which I have never and will probably never even come close to usin’.
So, my ten o’clock appt. tanked on me. I could’ve either driven back to the orifice for an hour or come here, where I shall meet someone at eleven thirty, and goof off. Since it’s about a twenty minute drive, I decided to goof off instead. It costs less money in the long run. Ok, so I could actually be gettin’ some irk done, but, well, I’m not. SO THERE!
I had to take my sweetie home - he’s been feeling ick since last evening, and he decided at 10 that it wasn’t going to get any better. So there’s an hour out of my day again. On the other hand, I can stay as late as I want, or don’t want, as the case may be.
At least I got back in time for lunch! Gonna heat up my soup, then dive back into my drawing from the depths of Heck.
