Three Things On Your Mind→[More:]1. What am I going to eat for lunch today?
2. Britney looks hot!!!
3. So much work, so little time, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
1. Guy. Argh.
2. Ankles: Why, since it is warm outside and I put on a pair of footless tights, do my ankles suddenly look all red and bumpy and horrible and scaly and weird? Is anyone else noticing this? Should I run over to the drugstore and buy normal tights? Am I obsessing? Do I have some kind of strange ankle disease? What if I just keep my feet under the desk forever and never leave?
3. Work, bah.
1 pm dawn - what ever happened to them?
2 michael bolton and celine dion never did a duet afaik, why is that? i said i'd get you water from the moon, but i lied. how can we be lovers if i don't know where my heart beats now?
3 friggible dramagrinager
1. It's depressing to do badly at bridge.
2. How much work am I actually going to do today, given that I'm the only person in my lab who is physically present?
3. Facebook and myspace and networking sites in general baffle me.
1. I just realized that my Mefi user number (13099) is a PRIME number
2. I am THIS CLOSE to being totally caught up on work, so that I can stop walking around with useless, counterproductive guilt all the time.
3. Hang in there, Miko!
I have to figure out what I'll do for Oscar night because my tv is still in storage.
The cabinets were finally delivered (I only found out they were coming today when the doorman said they were trying to find a parking space--the storage company couldn't get through on my landline and left messages on my cell {which I didn't get because I had the ringer turned off} instead of emailing me) and are now taking up all the free space in my kitchen. This isn't all of the stuff that needs to be replaced; the counters and sinks will have to be put in when this is done.
brujita, I interpreted tafflegoose as just a nonsensical, inherently funny word. The conversation had turned to Anglo-US confusion, centred on the word fox, and the idea that Britons call foxes tafflegeese seems like a moderately-believable, mildly amusing (though of course untrue) idea. Essentially, if we did have a different word for fox, tafflegoose would be it - it just sounds *right*.
Sorry, I've explained this horribly badly, and I could easily have entirely misunderstood it - but I think cillit bang posts on MeCha from time to time so perhaps he'll see this and clarify (and perhaps mock my over-analysis...)
1. The University of Cats
2. The Things I Find Myself Not As Interested In As I Used to Be Commemorative Stamp Collection
3. I need to buy a brush, but I think the local art supply store went out of business.
Well, it's 7pm in the UK and I'm back home. Let me have something to eat, I'll fire up the other machine and see what I can do for you. Results may be varied.
1. How the hell am I supposed to schedule this big frickin' urgent meeting if there is no time slot that works for everyone who's supposed to be there until mid-April?
2. Is this what I went to graduate school for? To schedule meetings??
1. Work politics are weird but I'm the one in the right and I've got 3 other people backing me up.
2. Beautiful weather, yay!
3. I'm looking forward to tonight's Flickr meetup.
1. This ring - which I ordered and am happily waiting for (had to have it made in my size). I cannot believe I'm this excited about a ring.
2. Bill paying.
3. Taking Lulu to get her nails clipped.
1. Stupid itchy bra.
2. Sock Dreams gift certificate!
3. The little kid I saw on the bus today who, when I smiled and stuck me tongue out, returned the favor and made my day.
1. I had a dream last night that featured youngergirl44 in it (you were an artist, I saw a signed print of yours (landscape) for sale at a we-have-it-all store in my dream).
2. Odd coincidence? I got my first bunny today - from youngergirl!!!
3. Jrossi, are there plans in place to notify your mecha friends when your parasite makes it's way into this world? We should start a baby pool! Weight, length, sex... I'd say girl, 7 lbs. 10 ozs. 20 inches long. Who's next?
