I know that I have not posted in... forever. I will update you all soon, but until then, I just had to share this Darth Vader Kitchen. Perhaps some day aduxxx, someday :) -
meaning of qaggaz
lump_of_clay tagged me with a meme: explain why I chose qaggaz as my user name and tag a number of people equal to the length of my name (which is 6). Regardless of the meme, this seems like a reasonable request so here goes.
Qagga is a alternate spelling of quagga an extinct sub-species of zebra. The last quagga died in 1883 at Artis, the Amsterdam zoo. ( Read more... ) -
New job
I resigned from my current position this week! Still working during my notice period, but have already mentally left. I was actually surprised at the reaction when I quit. My boss and his boss (both have been very good to me) actually seemed stunned. I actually felt a bit bad about it, but then again, I just have not been happy at work in a ( Read more... ) -
No donut...
Today I was pulled over by the police; not sure exactly why. The cop said, "are you sure you were wearing that seatbelt?" Now, I always wear my seatbelt, so that could not have been the reason that I was pulled over. Then he mentions that my registration is due to expire at the end of the month and that it "would be best" to take care of it soon ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
So, did anyone on the Flist get sent to Korean/Islamic/Norwegian/whatever school on Saturday to learn about their heritage? And if so, did you enjoy it or was it totally boring? There's a Saturday Dutch school nearby that we might send Orion to next year. He'd just be in the play group to start and would probably know more Dutch than most of the ( Read more... ) -
Door to door salesmen
For the last couple of days, I have been hounded by door to door salesmen. Most recently I found a lad from a fairly well respected security company on my doorstep. In fact, when I lived in Denver, I subscribed to their service. The salesperson on my doorstep was horribly unprepared to answer questions about his product, the only documentation ( Read more... ) -
Qaggaz, redux.
adux has been complaining about neck pains since, oh I don't know, January! She finally had some x-rays taken today, which were mostly inconclusive. Speculation is that she has some inflamation in the bones which is causing the muscle spasms. Yeah, all I want to know is when is she getting an injection to stop the ultra hellbitch mode she gets in when ( Read more... )
