How to offend four fandoms at once.
If you go into the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise
The Gummy bears have their *ahem* picnic…
OK, now what?
How am I meant to get out of bed when I have two cats on my chest. Also, I need to peeeeeeee!
Geek lust :)

Today is a day for lounging around and watching movies.
I’m only following my cat’s example.
Happy Sysadmin Day
How Do I Need Thee?
How do I need thee? Let me count the ways
I need thee every time I mistakenly trash a file
I need thee when my laptop slows to a crawl
and when my server has crashed
I need thee when my system has been infected
with horrible malware
and when I forget the password that I set up just yesterday
I need thee with a confidence that I seem to lose
when errors pop up all over my screen
I need thee with the breath,
Smiles, and tears, of every hour I spend at work
and, if I get safely home tonight,
I shall but need thee again tomorrow
