It's very cold here today. After standing for a couple of hours watching the junior Orc play football my feet were blocks of ice inside my welly boots. :D ( Read more... )

The w-a-t-e-r scene makes me cry every single time. Grrrr. I hate that.

No Pearly, I've never seen it. But the title "The Miracle Worker" just puts me in mind of Scotty from Star Trek. :D

I haven't decided what my novel will be about yet... but I have decided there won't be any "rings" in it. :)

I guess the ring thing has been done to death. But what about spheres? Circles? Toruses?

Wow: those are impressive goals! Good luck!

This year has seen a revolution in my own financial situation. I've now got an accountant who sorts everything out for me and gives me an allowance. It's such a freakin' relief, though she had to wrestle me to the ground to get me to give up control. :-) Now, to get a housekeeper!

That poor bassett hound is Patience on a monument. :-D Damn kids.

Good for you Cion... I think I'll use you as my inspiration. :D

Neh, don't. ;-) It's just that I finally figured out that I don't have to be good at everything. I can let somebody who's competent figure out how to spend my money. It turns out that with prudent management, my stupid salary goes a lot farther.

I could use a kick in the ass about exercise, is what. I feel like a huge slug.

Don't kick too hard, though. I have sensitive skin. ;-)

Oh geez, do you have soccer all through the winter too? i did the standing in the rain thing for one season, which is all it took for my daughter to decide she didn't like the sport. Just dunno why they think absence of snow equals great weather for soccer. Duuuhhh!!

You go, scaly orc, with the lifestyle renovations!! i'm always ready to cheer someone on when they make up their minds to do things like this cos i know how damn hard it is to actually do it.

Always here with a cheer, Gorbag ! :p

Wow, Lilac... is that you in the cheerleaders outfit? :D
Yeah, soccer is a winter sport... which is fine when I'm watching it on TV. :D

Yay, Gorb! You can do it! All of it. :)

*Grabs a pom pom and joins the cheerleading line-up*

"Gorb, Gorb, he's our orc...!" :D

Writing a novel. Yes, I've dreamed of that myself. Not sure if I have the talent, but I bet you do.

Cheers to Orc, Jr!
