I was just looking at meetup.com (thanks for the suggestion). It looks like they have a Friday night life drawing and painting session. $15 covers the model’s fee.
I think I’m going.
(And yes, said guy was clearly having fun with the conversation, but he probably should have been working.)
That sounds like fun! 'Round these parts we have Dr. Sketchy. And, actually, I was just going to make that a link, but I see from what’s on the front page that it’s definitely not SFW. Oops! I forget where you are, but I see that there are also Dr. Sketchy’s in Austin and Antonio.
So… I have an irrational fear of calling my adviser. Thus, I generally tend to send her an email when I need something, which I did last night. Unfortunately, her reply was that I should call her today after 12. Which means I’d better get on it pretty soon.
I’ve had a morning of fun with TPTB. They’re at N.O.L. right now and I just finished. We have figured out that nobody really exactly knows what they want in the state file folders except they want stuff. :rolleyes: Seriously. Just tell us already. They (these are TPTB from whom we contract for state stuff) seem to believe there are forms that exist which don’t exist. Look on our site for the form they say. Nope. Does not exist. They are shocked, shocked I say, over this! I am not because I already know they are a bunch of dumbasses.
They are irkier than irk.
Two, right under it.
I love cheese, too, but gjetost is a thing all on it’s own. In it’s defense, I do believe it was created for melting on bread under flame, or something. It’s a niche thing, for sure.
Today is blurf.
Spazcat, I am sorry about Maybunny. I know that when it’s time, it’s time, but still. Hope you made lots of good memories with him, and that he appreciated you, as much as cats ‘appreciate’ anything. 
Gah. I just called her and she gave me an email address to contact about a problem that I’m having and I can’t figure out what the first letter of the address is. I even clarified with her on the phone and am still getting it wrong. I thought she said “C” but that wasn’t it. So I went through a few letters and kept getting bounced emails. I just gave in and emailed her to get the correct one.
And while I was typing this i got an answer to another question. Even though I’m a graduate student and have a priority registration appointment, I can’t register for the undergraduate classes that I need until my registration appointment during undergraduate registration time. It’s hopefully not going to be a big deal, but it seems kind of dumb to me.
I think I’m done ranting and whining now.
NOOOOO!!! It’s not even Hallowe’en yet! What if I need a last minute cutie-faced paper pumpkin on October 30th?!?!?!?
Heavens, no. Too late for that already. American flags and fireworks!
that garnered a 9.5 on the “out loud” squee scale - and I scared the cat.
He’s in good company, there are plenty of kittehs and goggies to play with Over the Rainbow Bridge
Smokey likes to “appreciate” me when I’m trying to sleep. No, not swampy’s brand of appreciatin’, just mewing and nuzzling and kneading and purring in my face.
Home!! Tonight is sketty night! That’s all I’ve got.
Too tired to get up and go home.
Although a pretty good book on CD waits for me in the car…
Don’t play Bowie. You’ll never move again! :D:p
It’s true!
Home from irk and had some beast stew for dindin. OYKW has a meetin’ to deal with tonight, poor thing, so I am all on my own. That’s ok cause after the day I’ve had I feel like I wanna go to bed right now. I won’t, of course, but I feel like it.
We should chip in and by soapy the complete works of David Bowie. She’d never leave her car again! 
Slight change in supper plans - I found some ravioli in the freezer, so I dumped the sketty sauce over simmered ravioli - it was quite good. I’s stuffded after a quick and easy supper.
I see an evening of knitting ahead. I’ve almost finished my afghan, and some texting mitts for my cousin are next. Oh, yeah, great excitement at FairyChatEstates!
Cleaning-garbage-cat wrangling out of the trees: done.
Haven’t eaten yet.
I do not count the cheetos.
Just not hungry; I take advantage of days like this. They make up for days like yesterday when I was eating from morning 'til night, ugh. Maybe I am a snake, hrm…
Negative-hot enough for AC constantly churning
Positive-cold water’s warm enough for a shower again, lol.
Of course she will! She’ll put on her red shoes and dance the night away. Bowie even says so.
If she’s surrounded by spiders from Mars she won’t.
As long as they don’t go in my ear, I’ll be ok.
Sorry to interrupt the whimsy, but today has been one of those days where I just wanted to sit in a corner and cry. I feel like something is wrong, but I don’t know what the something is. And it doesn’t even feel like grief, it’s just something…
Spaz![/Cheers]
[Frank Costanza]I find [del]tinsel[/de] eggs distracting[/Frank Costanza]
I concur(Heck, I’m still working at it)
LOL
Irked, came home, iced my foot. Currently chatting with hockey lady.

Sorry, Sticky. The “wrong” that you can’t figure out is the worst. Hope it passes quickly. Lots of hugs.
Spaz! I was just wondering how you were doing. Glad you were able to check in, at least. Hope your computer is all better soon.
Yeah, gjetost is an acquired taste, I would say.
So, olives, if we ever meet it won’t be a Dopefest, it’ll be a Slug-fest? Mollusk-mania? Something like that. Glad you figured out what made you sick, even if it was silly.
My voice is slowly returning. It’s going in and out, kinda like what happens to boys’ voices when they change.
Made it through most of my workday today, so that was good.
Am currently ignoring the debate as my reaction tends to be yelling at the debaters. That doesn’t work really well when you have laryngitis.
On the plus side, the Tigers are currently winning.
Off to knit and keep an eye on the baseball game.
Hugs all.
