The beaver is a proud and noble animal

Today was a very domestic day. Did my dishes, some laundry (yay for fresh, still-warm-from-the-dryer sheets), my groceries and now I'm making a big batch of my pasta sauce. Talked a bit with raspberrysalmon, and now I think I'm going to go become one with my couch while the sauce simmers. I don't want to take a nap, even if it's uber tempting right now. I think if I do, there's no way in hell I'm going to get up to go to Ben's birthday party tonight.

I think I'm just going to pop over for a bit and say hello to people, but I don't really feel like spending yet another night drinking. That would make it 3 nights running, and that would be just wrong.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Ikea to pick up my kitchen island with eniran, and I still need to go buy some sanding paper to finish the plaster. I'll paint next weekend :) Sounds like a plan.

And remember, all vegetables are equal – but some veggies are more equal than others.

Even though work is giving me conniptions, I'm in a good mood right now. I just spent a lovely afternoon sharing music with a very special person halfway across the world.

Long live the internet :)

I cannot give you a working, sane spec for 4 different servlets in 10 minutes. I can, but it will be crap and will probably completely morph while I'm coding it. As soon as I get this done, you'll be the first to know, but you asking me for it every 5 minutes really doesn't help, nor does you telling me to work on something while thinking it's something else. I'm not psychic.

I will work on it, with utmost expediency and to the best of my capacity, and as soon as it's done it'll be in your inbox.

Sadly, common sense intervened and I only sent the first two sentences of the reply.

Go have a look :D

I finally got new batteries for the digital cam I'd borrowed from my sister, so I was able to download the pictures on the memory card, and take a few new ones as well. Click on a thumbnail to see a larger pic (and yes moonlightjoy, they open another window :P)

	I was talking to emjayne yesterday about my chronic lack of bookshelf space. Now consider that I have two other bookshelves that are in a similar state
	This is a picture of my parents' dog, waiting for my dad to come back from wherever he went when that picture was taken.
	This is what the old breakfast nook in my kitchen looks like now. I ripped out the old, ugly benches that were nailed to the walls. eniran came over last night to give me a hand with the plaster, though I suspect she was there only for the dinner I told her I'd cook :P

I'm currently working on a webpage for my bookbinding projects. It should be up sometime today.

Edit: giving this a try: talisker. Yay, I'm a blue :P
