Just got home from work. Drinking soda while contemplating what to make for dinner.

Bilking the elderly and infirm out of their life savings. It's a living.

Blowing snot out of my head into Kleenex brand tissues which I then toss into my trash can. And abusing cough drops. And dying repeatedly in Icewind Dale.

Procrastinating. Listening to Closer (a different one). I dig this song.

I just bought some clippers, and I'm about to cut my own hair. The slow by inexorable march towards crankdom continues.

Just got back from the gym, now heating frozen pizza and making salad for dinner.

I just came to the decision that I could design much better wedding invitations than I could order, so I'm surfing for DIY links and ideas.

I have band practice in about an hour.

I'm washing my shoes.

Just ate lunch with my three-year-old while the baby girl naps. We built a town from blocks and then set up a train set so the train could run off the rails and crash into the cars and buildings.

Fortunately the town is deserted.

Just got home. Hurriedly fixing dinner (Trader Joe's stuffed peppers) whilst trying to figure out what to wear out tonight (cute velvet pants suddenly don't seem to fit! But am sick of wearing jeans!) before I leave in 25 mins. Having a cookie in the meantime.

Capn just heard I'm giving out scalp massages.

Watching some season 1 The Muppet Show.

Bmarkey, I always liked you, but now we're bonded. A couple of nights ago, I got to see the early episodes with Dudley Moore, John Cleese, and Peter Sellers.

Gold, man. Gold.

Um, pups, it's porpoise that's watching muppets. Bmarkey appears to be grifting in some capacity.

posted by jrossi4r 23 February | 21:23

Well thanks, pup. I like you too.

You do realize that porpoise was actually the one watching the Muppets, though, right? I'm doing evil stuff at work.

The mister and I just got back from: EB Games (picked up the EverQuest expansion pack Prophecy of Ro), Safeway (grocery shoppping, of course) and McD's for dinner (1/4 Pounder deal-meal thingies). We'll be loading the games shortly.

I've been rebuilding the table saw. Took a break to check eBay for some black lights (too late dammit!) My solar powered atomic watch keeps going to sleep because the clouds never seem to part.

I noodled around eBay looking at slide projectors (I'm shopping for Argus 300s because they are so nice to modify and have 4" lenses.) I'm reviving my light show from the 60's.

Peeked in here and now I'm going back to the basement workshop to cut the motor mount for the saw. I'll drill it and mount the motor after I've got the new v-belt. The rebuild should be done this weekend, then I have to build the sliding table and I'll be done. Probably another week.

Then off to bed and read myself to sleep while the cats steal the covers. Dunno what I'm reading tonight.

It's morning in my world. I'm watching the rain slashing against my window and drinking lots of coffee and reading the metachat. Some of you are making me laugh.

Sorry, taz; you're not old enough, and going by the pictures I've seen you're in no way infirm. rowr!

I am not sleeping and taking a break from reading Consider the Oyster by MFK Fisher. I am also eating stale ginger Altoids.

posted by Divine_Wino 24 February | 01:35

I am also seeing if concentrated wishing will cause two cold pints of Guiness and a chilled steel platter with a dozen Bluepoints to appear, so far no, so perhaps I will see if I can lucid dream myself to a raw bar.
