And now for something completely different

The evil frenchman known as [info]sbourge dropped in last night in his month-long traipse across France and England. Much laughter ensued. Interesting fact: I can get into Katy's purple teddy, but it doesn't fit me well. Do with that mental image as you wish.

Cause my sweetie says I'm "it"

Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal… and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.

– cuddling with the Katy
– reading
– cooking
– watching antique/auction shows on TV (Flog it! Antiques Roadshow and Restoration man beign current favs)
– doing stuff with my hands
– lounging on the couch with a hot drink and nothing to do

I reach out and touch: [info]blacksquiggles,[info]kaliko_mel,[info]pretentiousgit,[info]la_tatie and just to see if he'll play, [info]mekez

Oh your mark, get set, cook!

Posted on June 6, 2005 By admin

I've been cooking for 4 and a half hours. I've been doing dishes for 4 and a half hours.

Dinner was kick-ass, but I'm TIRED!


On a completely unrelated note, Tesco delivered my groceries this morning, as well as part of somebody else's. It' the only way I can explain why I ordered 12 eggs and ended up getting 33.

33!!!

I've made a bundt cake, I've made a quiche, I've made pancakes. I still have 23 eggs left.

This is why I like the people I work with

A coworker went to Ireland and brought be back a fridge magnet. Here's a chat snippet:

<Rc> it's perfectly horrible :D
<AQuinn> i'm glad you don't like it :D
<Rc> it will be featured proudly on my fridge
<AQuinn> cool. how does it rate on the tacky scale?
<Rc> sappy message, garish colours, kitshy theme all give it high points
<Rc> the only thing that detracts from perfection is that it's actually solidly built
<Rc> so it only rates a 9 out of a possible 10
<AQuinn> i'll try harder next time ;)

As much fun as you can have with your clothes on

Posted on June 1, 2005 By admin 15 Comments on As much fun as you can have with your clothes on

I've just finished putting the second coat of mahogany stain on the tabletop zen garden I'm making myself. It will look kick-ass, if I do say so myself.

I like these little creative projects I give myself. They make me feel creative and manly at the same time (it's the powertool aspect of the thing).

I want a shed.

Vocabularians and lingweenies

Posted on May 31, 2005 By admin

What a lovely bunch of vocabularians (persons who make up new words) you are! Lasterday (refers to any day before today) we squinched (action required to fit something into a space that is slightly too small) a schmiglet (a small unit of measurement) of your awesomtastic (so wonderful the words just meld in your mouth) one-of-a-kind entries into this space in preparation for our Top Ten reveal. With so many chizzy (awesome, super, happening) creations to choose from, we admit to becoming a bit flusterpated (a state of being flustered that's so intense, one's actions and words become bound up) and fahoodled (confused, esp. when trying to think of too many things at once). We craughed (to cry and laugh simultaneously), we troddled (to wander around without knowing of doing so), and finally decided to use the schwack (a large amount) of multiple entries received as the basis for the Top Tenthis is, let's not forget, all about favoritism.

From the thousands of submissions we received, here, then, are the ten words (not in the dictionary) entered the most often:

Quote of the day

She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.
--(Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)
