Current Mood:  recumbent
Current Music: Kelly Clarkson - Because of You
Some things have occurred recently.
First, my internet and television suddenly disappeared for two days, because the landlord forgot to pay the cable bill. There was much sadness, and many a cry of, "Nooo! My review draft is saved in an online location!" Then there was crying, and beer. All is now resolved.
Secondly, we bought a little halter lead for our kittens, because they're always wanting to go outside. Actually, only one of them wants to go outside; the other is terrified and will only go outside if "mommy" carries her and she can frequently stick her head under my chin and pretend, ostrich-like, that she's in a safe dark hole. We put the other one in the leash and had some fun learning that you cannot walk a kitten, and also that no matter how excited said kitten is to be outside, the second a stroller goes rumbling by there will be instant panic and clawing.
Thirdly, AJ finally posted The Milkumentary, which is the documentary made from the college institution that he, John, and their friends started: the Dairy Challenge. Do not watch this if you have a delicate stomach. There is a lot of vomit involved. It is, however, extremely funny, and anyone who hasn't and is interested in seeing what John looks like can do so (he's the big Italian brute in the glasses, impersonating a dairy store manager). Also features cameo appearances by Tom! (There are no cameo appearances of me, since I was a conscientious objector to the event. I did, however, have the joy of washing some very unfortunate clothing afterward.)
Fourthly, there is a really creepy old lady on our street. She lives in the attic of one of the houses on our block and never comes down, but every time we walk down the street she opens the curtains and stares at us. Sometimes she drags a dog's squeaky toy repeatedly down the screen, making a strangled squeaking sound, until we get out of her range. It's frankly terrifying.
Fifthly, I'm finally off of Death's doorstep, but I probably have mono (thanks, mono-carrying loser boyfriend), so I may be delightfully listless and/or periodically ill for a while. And I just used up my last sick day! Hooray.
Sixthly, there's a little Mexican convenience mart about five blocks away that sells Pepsi-cola in the old-school glass bottles. It tastes just as good as you remember it tasting. John and I went down and bought several bottles and a pizza tonight. We's havin us a party.
Seventhly (that doesn't even sound like a word), I am so beyond words excited that the board shenanigans with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) risen_one, johnnydeath and mebemojo have resumed. John is even still putting in his star celebrity cameos. It really keeps my writing mojo going, and is too much fun besides. Oh, the overweening angst! Giggle. Snort.
Eighthly (that doesn't sound like a word, either; maybe there is a numerical limit on adverbing integers), our kittens are the worst guard cats ever. Not only did they not kill the ants they found sneaking in via a crack in the wall, but they helped spread them around the room by playing with them all the way into the kitchen and then getting bored and wandering off. On the other hand, they were determined beyond all reason to off the one lone moth that wandered in the open window, so much so that when it hid somewhere for a few hours they meowed ceaselessly at the ceiling in distress over not being able to find it.
Ninthly, I have a review to finish and a boy begging me to watch 300 with him, so it's off to funland for me! |
