Despite the fact that all the students have gone home and there’s really nothing to do here at the office this week, I’m still here every day from 8 to 4:30 at my desk. At least Heather’s here still and we can keep each other company. I’ve brought my laptop in today and plan on watching movies (Mummy, Boondock Saints and A Christmas Story) while cross-stitching up a few last Continue reading

Pet Apple Snail baby, anyone?
Well, the two “baby” apple snails grew up a lot faster than I thought they would. Likewise, they spawned a lot faster than I thought they could. I might have to do some more research on these guys because they may not be apple snails at all. Their eggs are underwater unlike Cthulu’s which are above the waterline (By the way, she has laid another clutch in one corner by the lid.), and Continue reading
Random updates
K, before I forget to post again, just some random updating. My leg ceased its inexplicable stabbing pains as quickly as it had started. Yesterday I got up and there was nothing wrong with it. Damned body. It’s so ineffectual and broken and all that. Oh well, at least I’m not currently in any pain though with as flaky as the weather has been, I may very well end up there before too long.

Well, now that I got the Christmas thing off my mind for a while, I’m gonna meander on into other regions of my mind which have been wandering around aimlessly for a while now. Um, we’ll start with the Mom-mobile. A little while back, we took her in to get the oil changed, and the Wal-Mart dude wouldn’t do it ’cause he said there was damage to the oil pan. So we waited until we had a Continue reading
Long X-mas Rant
You know, I like Christmas and New Year’s because it means a break from work and classes as well as a chance to get out of the Haute and visit family. What I don’t like about this particular holiday season are the fundamentalist nuts who get pissy about people saying “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas.” The entire world isn’t Christian, and while I can understand their Continue reading
Proud to be an American?
When I see things like this, it just makes me wonder what’s wrong with people. I can’t even begin to describe my disgust at having read this:
I got tagged
Puma Rumor’s got a “list what music you’re into” sort of thing on her blog, and she tagged me, so let’s see what sort of list I can come up with since it has been a long time since I’ve actively gone out and looked for music. This should be a pretty boring list, hehe. Hmm, I think I’m supposed to stick some instructions or something in here, so here they are: “List seven songs you are into right Continue reading
New discovery
We all know I’m addicted to tea, and we all know I’m likewise addicted to Adagio because they are my dealers. I was playing around on their site and decided to click some of their other links and came across an entire page devoted to cooking with tea! What an interesting idea! I’m going to spend some time looking through recipes to get an idea for how to use tea while cooking, but Continue reading
Snail trails
Well, I really ought to stop referring to Cthulu as “he.” “He” laid all sorts of little white eggs on the lid of the tank. And I wondered why the snail was spending so much time up there out of the water. So Cthulu’s a girl, but seeing as how she hasn’t been around any other snails for over a year, chances are the eggs are infertile. Female apple snails can store sperm in their bodies for a Continue reading
Weeeeeeeekend stuff
Whee! K, I wanna just ramble this off fast, but I doubt it’ll happen. I wanna work on something else soon but I wanna update too, so here goes! Friday was, as many of you figured it out, my birthday. I became 26, which isn’t really a huge deal, but it’s a year older than I was last year. My officemate did an awesome job of decorating the office with streamers, balloons and confetti Continue reading
