Oh, this should be a continuation of my Christmas post, but it's not because it's late because I had to work late today because I'm not really sure why.
I just wanted to say that I have booked my plane ticket to the Greater Whiter North. I'm leaving March 3rd. I'm unreasonably excited about going back to the farm. I hope I hope I hope it will be -15 ( Read more... )

Quote: "It's way past my 'I need a certain amount of sleep to be able to stay conscious during the last two hours of work' deadline."

How about the first two hours? I don't think it was even 11 a.m. when, right in the middle of creating a Gaza sidebar, my head managed to find the crook of my arm, which managed to find a clear portion of desk, and I  ( Read more... )

You know it's raining hard when you have to hang your coat in the shower to allow it to dry . . . after walking half a block to the nearest mailbox.

Sweet blackstrap molasses, it's messy out there. 100 cm of snow + almost 100 mm of rain = ugh. I really thought the snow would stick around for a lot longer, but it's been 10 degrees for the past couple ( Read more... )

Pre-entry post script (added post posting): I've added a few more captures to my "anyone who's anyone eats ice cream sandwiches" entry a few posts down yonder. I'm almost, almost to the point of beginning to consider a tribute gallery of ice cream sandwiches in awesome corners of pop culture. Do they employ ice cream sandwiches because they are ( Read more... )

bent overpasses

through thick soapy fog,
a raspy hum. Now I know
where all the crows go

So I tripped over this photo the other day while searching for space uniform references (don't ask) and for a millisecond, I was all "Yay! Evil Sylar is awesome again!" and then I saw the blue shirt and the ears and I was very depressed. Seriously, I've never seen a show commit suicide before.

Hey! Yesterday I officially became an auntie! How utterly weird!

Welcome to the world, Miss Elizabeth Juliana.

I think I may have stated in a previous entry (I'm too lazy to hit the one button to check) that I felt a bit ripped off about our abbreviated summer because I didn't get a chance to wear all my summer clothes. To me, this statement sounds a bit . . . I don't know . . . like I have fifteen closets full of designer clothes and that I'm really into ( Read more... )

So last Wednesday, my work schedule was posted, as per normal. And it was good, all things considered. Yesterday when I went to write out my schedule, as per normal, I noticed that the schedule for next week had changed into something very, very bad. And maddening. Let's just say I'm now kicking myself for having bought a turkey early ( Read more... )
