Stuff On My Cat
Now that I have unpacked my computer and found the cable for my camera…
I often wonder why I have cats. Here is one reason.

I’ve Known All Along that Elephants Are Cool
From the BBC:
Elephants can recognise their own reflection, showing self-awareness
I, of course, have known all along that elephants are smart animals.
Otherwise, how would the birthday elephant have found our house when we moved?

Countdown
11 Days till my Grandmother moves in!
Grumble Grumble
I hate daylight savings times.
There’s no call for me to be waking up at 5:30 in the morning. 6:10 is bad enough.

Ahhhh… Freak Out!
I am now, officially, freaking the hell out.
We just got the official date that Grandmom will be here, and I am completely worried that we won’t be done in time.
Plus, I’m tired of living in a house that’s completely torn up.
But mostly I’m just completely tired. Maybe I should just go to bed. As they [...]

Project Notes
Thing I really don’t like: Cutting drywall with a utility knife. If I never have to do this again it will be too soon.
Too bad we still have two more sheets to put up.
Cutting drywall with a jig saw? Much easier.
Thing that I really love: Leather gardening gloves. These are the single most useful [...]

Very Very Very Short Stories
Six word stories written for Wired.
I am particularly fond of these:
“I couldn’t believe she’d shoot me.â€Â
- Howard Chaykin
Dinosaurs return. Want their oil back.
- David Brin
I’m dead. I’ve missed you. Kiss … ?
- Neil Gaiman
(via Smart Bitches who Love Trashy Books)
Bi-Polar Project
This whole project is making me crazy(er).
I keep going back and forth between, “We’re doing great! We should be done in no time!” and “What on earth was I thinking? We’ll never get this finished in time! Wah!”
But we are making progress. And I have to say I’ve learned a lot more than I [...]

We had SNOW!
It was just flurries, and it only lasted for a little bit, but STILL! SNOW! YAY!

The Value of Exercise
About two years ago, after I had a so-so bone density test, Michael and I started to use the weight machines at the rec center. We don’t use a lot of the machines, but we try to hit the large muscle groups for the upper body (since my legs already get a fair amount of [...]

Stuff and Stuff and Stuff and Stuff
I’m sitting here thinking that the last time my house was this much of a mess, we were moving in.
Then I realize that it’s about to get worse. In addition to the work we’re doing, my cousin is coming today to bring some of Grandmom’s furniture, and take away some of my furniture that will [...]

Shiny!
Remember the hi-bounce ball ad?
Sony made a new commercial. It’s shorter than the hi-bounce ball commercial, but just as gorgeous.
Click around–they have some photographs as well.
And trust me, it’s worth the wait.

What Things Are Like While Michael Is Away
“Without that stabilizer panel, this landing’s gonna get real interesting.”
“Define interesting.”
“Oh God, oh God we’re all gonna die?”

Ahem
Dear Spammers,
DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!
Thank goodness for spam filters.

Make Your Own Snowflake
Make your own snowflake. Quite neat.
A search for Michelle and Morgantown should bring up the one I made.

Yay! I Get to Be a Citizen!
Do you have what it takes to become a citizen?
You answered 100% of questions correctly. Here’s your rating:
0-20%: Maybe you’re still thinking too much about the Old Country — and that’s where you should probably be.
25-40%: Mmmm. Do you really want to be a citizen? This kind of performance isn’t going to impress those nice [...]

AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!
Where did all this STUFF come from? Does junk have a spawning season or something? Because I don’t know where some of this crap came from.
My basement is an unmitigated disaster area. We’ve torn down a closet, and moved stuff to empty part of the basement, and that meant piling up stuff elsewhere, to the [...]
Today…
I HATE COMPUTERS!
That is all.

Easily Amused
Okay, in context this makes sense, but I find it highly amusing out of context.
