We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

I am not working today. The shuttle comes to get me in 40 minutes and I still have to walk the dogs and go to the bank.
I woke up to find the heat blasting. Turns out it was because the wind blew my front door open during the night, and I was heating all of the East Bay. Joy.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'll let you know by Monday iffen I can't find one
Kewl. Ours is a newer model, so it's not amazingly heavy.
AND, FTR, it's too damn cold this morning. 48F is just wrong.
HA!! Pffffft. It's on record as being -7 here, with a "feels like" of -24. I'll bet it's actually more like -14. And no snow to insulate any of it. I mock your 48F. (But with love, and much envy.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's like 10 here. I was all excited, thinking, "Finally, it feels like winter for once." Winters in Chicago usually feel too mild to me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Slide projectors are so 1970s and I can't find one at my school to use and I don't want to buy one.
Heh. I have a standard slide projector (bought in the 70's), so when we found a stack of slide carousels of my grandfather's slides amongst my late aunt's belongings, I took them home to sort through them all. I didn't take the projector, because I already had one. Turns out these carousels are from a time before slide carousels were standardized. None of them fit my projector. I have to pull them all out and transfer them to my old carousel to view them.

All is well that ends in pizza.
My microwave oven just died. It started making funny noises, and I look to see big clouds of smoke coming from the kitchen. So I have the windows open and a fan blowing the smoke outside, despite the cold temperature....
Tommyrot, have you done anything with this?
Generally that symptom means that a piece of food or some other material has gotten inside the small flexible screen over the magnetron inside of your microwave.
If you look in there, you can sometimes take off the screen, clean off the screen by scrubbing the charred stuff off, and put it back in. Then test the microwave briefly with a piece of bread or something else which you would be able to 1. find out if it still smokes or 2. find out if it works.

Our public library lends them out. But then, we're usually about 30 years behind out here in the midwest.

Naw, I was gonna throw it away. The smoke that was comming out had a burnt plastic smell to it. So there must be something going on besides food burning.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So this is all your fault, then. So noted.

Heh. Must be my Finnish blood. Which would also explain my fondness for vodka.
