Sad News
Sad News. My grandmother died this morning. Mumu was always an important part of my life. She loved pets, and was a wizard at gardening. She always took pride in her appearance, and she loved mystery and horror stories. She was a good person, and will be missed.

You know you're getting older when...
You have a doctor who is younger than you are. I went in for a yearly physical yesterday, for the first time in a long long time. It had been recommended, as I didn't currently have a regular physician. My new doctor is friendly and seems knowledgeable, and is a year younger than I am. We both went to Berkeley, and were both studying biology ( ( Read more... ) -
It's my birthday! Whoo!
And I'm doing not much special right now. There has been cake, and there will likely be more.
That is all.

Good news, everybody!

Yay!
Also, very briefly, I was totally wrong about the new Star Trek movie. We watched it twice on opening weekend. I've been obsessively watching old TOS episodes ever since.

On the new Star Trek movie trailer
Me: Yeah, it looks like a decent action/sci fi movie, but it doesn't look Star Trek-y *at all*
thespianmobile : This new movie is to Star Trek as DnD 4.0 is to Dungeons & Dragons.

I love my Mr. Cheez. :-)

If you're gonna fall down the stairs...
...I suppose falling off the bottom step is the way to go.
So, I was carrying a box of comics down the (carpeted) stairs. While wearing socks. On the last step my foot slipped. I did what must have been a perfect banana-peel pratfall right onto my rear. Onto my hip, actually, right on the edge of the (fortunately carpeted) step with my full ( Read more... ) -

Improvements to the house are complete!
Finally finished with all the work we were having done. Got a new kitchen counter, new bathroom counters, & new tile in the bathrooms (the old stuff was cracking & crappy). Also, the damn shower heads have been raised; I can wash my hair without stooping, whoo!

Late nite winter wildlife update

- 4 leaves that really looked like mice

OMG Bugs!
My sweet thespianmobile picked up some crickets for me when we were out running errands yesterday. I'm not sure if I forgot to put them in their box (& they somehow worked their way out of the bag) or if I left the box open or what, but my house is full of escaped crickets. And there are none in the cricket box.
Well, not exactly "full". But I keep hunting ( Read more... )
