7:46 am - Hmmm...
|
Lately I haven't had much to say...which isn't like me. I blame winter, which is finally here. Last night I sewed the buttons on my revamped winter coat and tried it out--it's warm, it's more flattering, and it will be even better once I finish knitting up the fuzzy trim for the hem and sleeves. Right now that's life--"Everything will be better when I finish this (fill in the blank). I'm happy and things are better than I expected, but I'm tired too. Maybe I need a vacation. I had one in September, though. I keep telling myself it's the hibernation instinct kicking in, where my ancestors stayed inside the cave/lodge/hut and made warm things out of siberian bear fur.
I would love that, actually...who wants mukluks made out of bear wool? Only somebody has to go shear the bears first...

8:06 am - Yayyyyy! I can see New Moon now and not throw up a lot!
|
Why?
Because Cleolinda has dissected it for us all...in beautiful, sparkling, New Moon in Fifteen Minutes. It's...so good. So good! *sobs with joy*
If you've seen the movie, you will splurt coffee out your nose. If you haven't, you won't have to see the actual movie and you'll still know what people are blithering about. With a tasty, tasty side of snarkiness... You may also spurt coffee too, I think it's entirely possible. I almost did, anyway...

10:32 am - Mmmmm...
|
Last night Matt, Liz, Nick and I went to Alma's for Matt's birthday dinner. Wow. Just...wow. Their tasting menu is just amazing stuff. We were all very, very happy about our dinners...
I woke up still feeling full. This week, I swear. Tonight I'm making vegetables, something really light. Maybe the Bunneh could help me with a recipe--spinach salad with carrots and raisins:) He can have some, I can have some...
And speaking of Mr. Hopsalot, I got a fairly nice, albeit fuzzy picture of Shamu last night.
(Well of course it was fuzzy! It was just fuzzy on top of Shamu's fuzziness!) I just have to post it later tonight, I think, so everybody can see the extra fluff. "He gets it from his dad." says Cheryl, his orginal owner. Apparently his dad was a tribble...
So there you are:)

|
Mcohenmn has a birthday today...happy birthday, mister!
*drags out large, ominous tikis, which start shooting flames out of their mouths*
In your honor, I present...EARLY MORNING TIKI PARTY!!!!
*several tiki torches spontaneously light themselves as MsFledermaus, Happy Devotee of Tiki, starts digging in the large box in the corner labeled, "Frivolous tiki-supplies"*
Hey, I just found a whole bunch of coconut bras! And the hot-tub! And the wet bar, even!
Ummm, bit early for that, really, but I can start making elaborate flaming coffee beverages, no probs. Who wants an umbrella in their mocha?
*starts brewing coffee while trying on a coconut bra*
And yes, it's a Monday. Perfect time for an impromtu tiki-Party...

6:02 am - More on the subject of nom nom nom...
|
I'm awake a little earlier than usual...my last training day for the Control shift I now have at work:)
And I have leftover Caramel Banana French Toast that Phil and Karen made. I feel very blessed. You've no idea, people, this stuff is really, really amazing...
*stuffs face*

7:38 am - Om nom nom nom nom! Nom! Nom!
|
This weekend has been a much-needed tonic...
I think I ate more stuffing than any one human should ever do. I made up with a friend, and we all had an indoor paysheo-style brunch yesterday. I slept a lot, goofed a lot, watched tons of movies, and now have an image of Christopher Walken with a snowblower stuck in my head. Then there's the Werewolf movie...
I ended up watching this horrible, horrible movie given the MST3k treatment. It was called, "Werewolf" because it had, um....werewolves. Who didn't actually attack people per se. Well, sorta. The werewolf would run up to the poor girl struggling in the mud with her pretty white dress and just go, "Om nom nom nom!" Then run back and forth. Then an even more frenzied series of "om nom nom nom!" Between that and the Driving Werewolf sequence, I was on the floor. It was fantastic stuff...
So now I'm off to work, with my last Sunday of working early and late. Wow...

8:35 am - Happy Thanksgiving!
|
|
My interwebs are still down at home, so I haven't been posting much. But I'm catching up a little, here and there when I can. I hope everybody has a good Thanksgiving, and I'm off to Dave and Reb's later to have dinner. I'm making corn bread stuffing with honey mustard. Mmmmm...

8:47 am - Social beastie...
|
Sorry I haven't been on much--my interwebs at home is a little messed up, so I'm posting from the workies. But things are good. I'm pretty much over whatever virusy whatever socked me in the head. I went to a really fun party last night with Matt and the Gaily-Waily, with amazing food and just tons of people. There's new yarn, and Shamu the Bunneh is so fluffy, I think I might have to trim him down just a touch. Thanksgiving is making me crave turkey and yams...Mmmmm, yams...
So there you are for now. I'm sure I'll have more interesting things later, but at the moment, the brains can't keep up with what time I have:/

10:17 am - Getting better...
|
|
I'm still headachey and tired and coughing a bit, but I am on the mend. I think all those Youtube videos of bunnies I've been watching has helped, too...

7:57 am - Um...I don't *think* I've got the hamthrax...
|
I do feel sick, though...feverish and sore throat and a little dizzy. I took the day off today to rest up. Any guilt about that was assuaged by the spinneys I had in my head when I got up today.
The good part is, Shamu will be delighted to have me home today. Already he's been snuggling up to my ankles, waiting for his pets. Such a good bunny...

3:00 pm - *bows head*
|
I just read that Edward Woodward, better known to many of us as Sergeant Howie in "The Wicker Man" has died of complications of pneumonia, at the age of 79...
I always deeply enjoyed his acting, and though I'd seen him in "the Equalizer" and other things over the years, the role that stuck in my head the most was Sergeant Howie. You'll be missed, sir...
current music: "Loud Sing Cuckoo"

7:32 am - Woowoo!
|
I just sold a bunch of my yarn on Etsy this morning...this pleases me mightily!
Now I'm at the workies, feeling a bit...off. headachey and whatnot. Is it my body fighting some kind of predatory virus, or the can of Red Bull I drank? Only time will tell...

9:08 am - Morning colors...
|
Silver
and frost,
pale etchings
and mist
reach to the silver sky,
palest blue
and frost lays on the red-brown bricks,
lace on cinnamon.
Silver-soft curls
from slate-grey water.
And the sun touches with tentative fingers,
gifting silver with gold...

7:25 am - An evening with the Gaily-Waily...
|
One of the nice things about working Sundays is that I invariably work with the Gaily-Waily. And she's such a hoot. After work, we stopped off at Lunds and came back to the Maushaus for dinner and caught each other up in what's going on generally. I did a Tarot reading for her, and Shamu kept coming up for pets...
Now it's Monday, which is a trickier day at work. But I hear since today is clean-up day that lunch is on the Jade Mines. Mmmmm, free lasagne...

7:40 am - Lethargy...
|
This weekend was very quiet, and I needed that...
I mostly spent it with bouts of spinning--I have some new things to offer on my Etsy site. I knit a bit. I did tons of laundry. I goofed a lot on the computer, checking out documentaries and Second Life a bit. I played bunny-games with the Wee Orca. But mostly I slept...
Now I have to rouse myself from my comfortable household lethargy, and drag my butt to work. Sllllooooooowly....

7:36 pm - Errands for Mr. Lopalot...
|
I'm home, from a long day of training. One of the bennies of my training is I'm off my feet for a while, and had enough spring in my step to stop off for hay and kibbles for Shamu, the Littlest Orca-whale. Now I've made my own dinner, and I'm lounging in the living room with the laptop. Shamu is lounging too. We're a very mellow household at the moment...
*feeds Shamu a raisin*
I may have to get a beer out of the fridge. It's my Friday, and I am happy, but beat...

8:52 pm - Meh is fighting with Mmmmm...
|
it's been a very long day at work. But my loved ones fed me sammitches and fries and a cider, just for a fun night out. I'm very grateful. And full.
Now for some bunneh-time, and all will be right with the world...

8:40 pm - More fun with Shamu, the Littlest Orca...
|
Humph. At first Shamu the Bunneh didn't want to come out of the cage. I had to pick him up and cuddle him for a moment, then set him on the couch.
Now, after a solid hour of pets and cooing, he's dashing to and fro, nudging my ankles and doing the bunny-dance of glee. This is good...
Except now I have to go to bed, and the Wee Orca isn't tired. Nope, nope, not tired at all. It'll take me forever to herd him back to his cage, with him playing coy little "I don't WANNA go home!" games with me. You think having a bunny is all fluff and kibbles? Well, you're wrong, I say! Wrong!
Okay, most of it actually is fluff and kibbles, but I'm sleepy and Shamu is frolicking around my coffeetable. I mustn't let the cuteness win...

8:47 pm - Creepy Friend at the burlesque is creepy...
|
Phew! I just got home from an amazing burlesque experience. My friend The Pink Satan had finished her burlesque classes, and her graduating class had a revue at the Ritz. It was astoundingly good stuff. Our Liz had a great act in a butcher's costume, fondling various cleverly painted meats, and it was super-cute. We all had a great time, including my cow-irker, Gail, who got bored, went to my house, rang up the neighbors and hitched a ride to the theatre to surprise me. I laughed hysterically when I got her phone calls, and when we got there she grinned hugely and yelled, "Creepy friend! Creepy friend!" Just. So. Very. Funny...
If it was anybody but the Gaily-Waily, I would have backed away slowly and checked for blunt objects. Buuuuuut, it's the Gaily Waily, so it's okay...Mostly....
...Until I find her on a ladder outside my windows, leering at the bunneh. Then there must be bloodshed.
