Arrgh, mateys!
Sep. 19th, 2006 10:17 amAhoy and avast and all that, ye scurvy pirates! (Just in case you forgot that it's Talk Like a Pirate Day.)
I think it's a day for minor random bits of stuff. Like that it isn't a good idea to wear shorts to a meeting in a swamp, even if it isn't after dark. Somebody forgot to tell the mosquitos that they aren't supposed to be hungry till dusk. The bites started showing themselves last night, over 24 hours after their infilction, and today they're all itching like mad.
( School stuff )
Carmen made a serious run for the door again last night; only flomping the full bag of groceries on the floor in front of her face stopped her. They hate those rattly plastic bags if I'm wielding them. If they are on the floor and can be snuck up on to be explored properly, it's fine. Flomping, though, is right out. Miranda, for some reason, has been especially affectionate lately, climbing into my lap at the least opportunity, and purring loudly. Sometimes I just need that, and apparently she does too. Now that I think of it, Molly has also been sitting in/on my lap more often, and when she isn't in my lap she's generally very nearby. Sweet.
( Cut for Ergonomics rant )
Oh, well. Enough dawdling. Time to shower, buy cat food, and start reading. And working on the paper on Parchment.
