Eh, not so great. This is the second weekend in a row where all my plans have fallen through, and I’m left stuck at home by myself. I’m feeling very unloved, and unwanted, right about now. -Lanna ---

Well, let’s see. I’m at work, and I work tomorrow like usual. 12 more hours. Ugh. On the otyher hand, my cool boss let me have Sunday off (it was our scheduled overtime). So I might actually be in the mood to do something this Halloween weekend! If nothing else, I’m gonna drink Saturday night. 😃 And you’re right wireless. All these “doing great” replies made my day. Oh, and Unclebeer? You’re just jealous 'cause _you_ didn’t think of posting something like this. Sspppbbbbbbbbbtt! * * * You say “cheesy” like that’s a **BAD** thing. ---

Life is sucking the big dirty dipstick right now. My research went well today. That’s about it, though. My whole place smells like burned popcorn. I put it in the nuker for four minutes and went to the bathroom. When I got out, it was still popping normally. As soon as it slowed down, I turned the nuker off. When I opened it up, I almost died from smoke inhalation. I had to open the bag, pour water in it, and run it downstairs to the dumpster, which is probably on fire right now. That, however, is not my fucking problem. I think every friend I have is avoiding me, and I don’t have that many. I can’t count the number of plans I’ve had fall through this week. I have to work tomorrow. At work, I have to clean a bunch of computers with this solution that’s just about as acrid as this fucking popcorn smoke. I’m nearly in tears right now–I was ten minutes ago when I got all the smoke in my face. Is there something that I can use to get the smell out of my microwave? ---

This is a weird idea, Drain, but maybe you could nuke something sweet smelling to get rid of it? I am not sure if that would work, though. I was thinking maybe ice cream or something. Maybe you could spray some lysol or something, and then wipe it down real good. Sorry, just a couple of ideas, I haven’t had a popcorn burning. You know, with my microwave sometimes a bad smell will go away after it airs out. Just some ideas. From, someone who isn’t quite Heloise. pat ---

I found a whole bunch of pictures of myself, friends and family. There was one picture of me that was taken in either sixth or seventh grade, although I think it was seventh. This was when I was universally called ugly. I looked at it today from a sixteen-year vantage point, and I can see that I was not ugly. Not beautiful, glamorous or hot, but definitely not ugly. I guess after the millionth or so time you hear something, it begins to stick, whether it’s true or not. * * * Remember, I’m pulling for you; we’re all in this together. —Red Green ---

Not bad. The new PigeonMan is due and I can’t think of a punchline (urgh!) but that’s okay, I have faith in my brain. I have, through the wonders of the WWW, met some people who could become fun friends, and they’ve invited me to a BBQ on Tuesday. However, I miss ChrisCTP something chronic. She hasn’t been online on ICQ all week. ☹ And a local ICQ friend of mine is feeling pretty miserable, but isn’t willing yet for us to meet up for the hug she needs. Overall - not too awful.

Pretty damn good…Went to my laser eye follow-up appointment and apparently I’m like their greatest success story or something…so I got that goin’ for me…which is nice! 🙂 Hubby finally fixed whatever was wrong with the entertainment center so we could once again listen to records (LP’s) and I celebrated by breaking out the Spike Jones, ELO, and Letterman for a hoot. AND get this: After I dusted down the entertainment center with the new $$$ vacuum, hubby decided he wanted to use it to clean the cat hairs off the couch…I made him use the “ZipBrush” attachment. His pronouncement? “This vacuum is AWESOME!” LOL, I love the rare times I turn out to be right! ---

Well early this morning there was an owl hooting at something as I was getting ready to milk. From about 8am-9 there was one of those rainbow/halos around the sun. I went down the road to grab a round bale for the cows and saw a hawk dragging off another birds from the edge of the roadway as I crested the hill. I think the prey was a pigeon, the hunter maybe an adolescent Broad Shouldered or adolescent Red Tail. To big for a Sparrow Hawk and to small for a full grown of the other two. Parents are off to the SU-BC football game. Few things to do other than the basic feeding and milking the cows. Actually nice day so far, hoping the rest of the day will be this mellow. ---

Nice pic, tris! I forgot to set the alarm and am just getting moving now (a wee bit hungover). I’d meant to get in a full day, but this means I’ll have to work tomorrow. We’ve got a convention Monday, so I’ll get nothing substantive done that day, and tonight and tomorrow night are social events associated with the convention. Whoopee. If I’m up late enough I might try and make it over to the ROT for RHPS and try and figure out who Cessandra is (it’s a few blocks from home), but the _if_ factor is significant. One way or another I won’t be talkin’ to y’all much in the next few days. Have a good weekend! ---
