Morning all, not having a very good day so far over here as I woke up in the night with really bad stomach pains and they just wonā€™t go away. I finally got hold a friend with some [fire pics](http://vmphoto.photobox.co.uk/album/5315255) for you, they were taken in someoneā€™s garden one night when we were experimenting with the possibility of creating small, confined flames instead of the usual huge ā€œget it as big as you canā€ ones we normally aim for! ---

\*Happy Birthday, **Hank**!\*Very cool pics, **BooFae**. Yeah, I guess, itā€™s currently quieter on the _terrorista/insurgente_ front, **Nava**. Seems like the people who were active in Guerrero and Oaxaca (Iā€™m woefully ignorant about all of these groups; just know they exist[ed]) have been quieter too. Iā€™m up. Cleaning. Fun. GT ---

Happy Birthday, Hank! Good morning all. This whole VT thing makes me very sad to the point that I canā€™t watch the news without fighting back tears, which is incredibly abnormal for me. (Iā€™m usually the asshole in the corner making bad jokes or snide remarks.) I had to change from NPR this morning to [del]something[/del] anything else so I wouldnā€™t get to work all tear stained and covered in snot drips. These past couple of days have been a bit crazy and stressful. On Monday, **Acid Lamp** went to look at a property that we were thinking about renting; it was great and just under our maximum price. He goes to put in paperwork yesterday, and, of course, like the moron that I am, I leave my phone on silent all day. I get a barrage of voicemails from him. First, itā€™s that I need to call him back to get the paperwork faxed to me; then itā€™s that the rental deal fell through because they gave it to someone else while we were getting our paperwork in. :mad: And, of course, after I get out of work, I find this out. I get another call from him as Iā€™m off to get my free cone from B&Jā€™s (which I didnā€™t need), and I have to rush home, beg the neighbor to let us use their fax to receive the paperwork, and fill it out. This morning, I faxed all the filled-in paperwork to the property management company, and Iā€™m waiting on an appropriate time to call them up and make sure that they got it and that theyā€™ll hold the other property that weā€™re looking at now that weā€™ve got our papers in. Itā€™s all very frustrating; weā€™re not only bumping up our move-in date to May 15th (because thatā€™s as long as theyā€™ll hold a rental for us), but weā€™re not entirely sure that theyā€™ll hold a property until Saturday so that we can look at it in person and sign all the paperwork to lease it. :mad: ā˜¹šŸ˜• :smack: Of course, this all comes on the tail of his mom not being too pleased with us moving in together (again) while unmarried and giving the opinion that maybe we should wait until July to try to settle this stuff up. (Of course, she wasnā€™t too thrilled with the idea that, if we waited, Iā€™d have to move up there early and spend two weeks in their house until we got a place of our own set up. :rolleyes: ) Blech. I just want it to be over so I can get settled and have a job and be financially independent. Good luck, **Swampy**. **BooFae** , those photos are pretty awesome. Itā€™d be nice to have time (and a backyard) to watch **Acid Lamp** do that again. **Puggy** , that map is fascinating and a little scary. It appears that Canada and Japan are two of the only places left with little to no terrorism going on. I also am intrigued about some of the incorrectly placed terrorist points; thereā€™s one for Thailand thatā€™s placed right in the middle of Central America. ---

**Happy Birthday, Hanky Panky!** (That might only seem funny when drunk/high.) So, morning coffee was good, work is a bust presently. Our systemā€™s tape backup failed last night. It keeps doing that. As a result we have no access to our system until that gets fixed, so the morning is filled with ā€œIā€™m sorry, our system is down so we canā€™t check thatā€¦ā€ Makes work easy, but irritating. My coworker still isnā€™t back yet either. Iā€™m in no rush and he deserves whatever time off he needs, but it _does_ put a wee bit more pressure on. Spring is coming! Finally. A bit miserable today, but weā€™re supposed to have a bunch of really nice days coming up. And, if I may say so, itā€™s about motherslapping time. Off to try and put some of this hump day behind me. ---

Happy! Birthday! Hazel! Yay for birthdays. šŸ™‚ Iā€™m sure **Hank** had an excellent time - sheā€™s never been one to skimp on the celebration. **BooFae** , all that fire breathing is way, way cool. Kudos! On the agenda today, apparently, is going out to lunch with some of my physics classmates. And going to class, and also maybe doing laundry, and proctoring an exam tonight. > [@Pun](#): > > ā€œRight this way, Mr. Drexler.ā€ The internationally acclaimed movie star was led outside to the airfield, where his private transportation waited. Drexler looked up across the tarmac and saw there, sitting obediently, a Cessna 175. Drexler shouted, ā€œWhat? What kind of crap is this? You expect me to fly in that piece of junk? This is wrong, just plane wrong.ā€ > [@Pun](#): > > Everyone was taken by surprise when the local funeral home announced its own brand of chocolate snacks. Especially when they said it had a cremation filling. And so it goes, and so it goes. Breakfast time! Have a good day, everyone! ---

**Happy Birthday Haze!!** Itā€™s actually not terribly busy here this week, and Iā€™m debating whether I am motivated and want to do non-rush projects or if I want to be unmotivated and spend most of my day on the Dope. Hmmā€¦ decisions, decisions. Itā€™s beautiful out though so I know that after work Iā€™m definitely going rollerblading. Yay! ---

I saw the wild orchids again yesterday! Now that the deer has been buried (the deerā€™s been on my mind since Sunday; just the thought of the poor thing lying there made me sad) I wandered up into the woods with Clover the dog. I didnā€™t have the camera with me, but they look like [this.](http://www.nps.gov/archive/yell/slidefile/plants/orchidfamily/Images/16961.jpg) Itā€™s National Poetry Month, and a poem has been read on the radio every morning. I like this! Speaking of poetry, has anyone heard the [Wordsworth rap?](http://www.golakes.co.uk/wordsworthrap/) I heard it on As It Happens (yes, Iā€™m a CBC radio nutter) the other night. The hostsā€™ voices were so warm and rich with good-spirited amusement. I love that program. We have some nice daffodils around the place, but something ate my pansies last night! Oh, well. This is what happens when you live next to The Woods. My guilty pleasure the other day was reading Something Awful ghost story threads, and when first came upon the deer, Iā€™d been thinking ā€œwoods can be a bit spookyā€¦ā€ and then I saw the former deer. There was a shriek, yes. Maybe thatā€™s why it affected me so. I am not getting much done on this holiday week, thanks to the INTERNET. Stupid internet.
