hip deep in pie

Still sleeping.

Does that mean you are sleep-typing?

the same way that some free puppies from ads in newspapers get turned over to animal experimenters.

Or rendering plants. A lot of papers won't accept free to good home ads because of this. I read somewhere recently that animal rights groups are pressuring Craiglist to stop the free pets listings too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think you should go back to bed.

Man, me too! Sadly, I am now at work. And need to figure out what to do about the OMG CRISIS!!! emails of yesterday.

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

Laugh at them?

Overslept. Didn't wake up right. Want to go back to sleep.

That was yesterday's reaction. Now, my boss isn't here, so there's nothing to be done immediately, I guess. Nothing like an URGENT piece of paperwork that's dated 5/10.

move out and draw fire

I watched a pet boa constrictor have dinner once. Dinner was a chicken, live. The snake constricted the chicken to death, and then some, in order to even make a start at getting it compact enough to eat.

Somehow keeping a pet that has to have live food bugs me. I don't know too many people that are well-adjusted that feed live animals to their pets, ya know?

Wild animals eating live food, well, duh. Not a problem. Not even kittens, which were the preferred meal of the monitor lizards that lived around our place in Malaysia. (And they say no one eats cat.)

Our wings are not tired.

Bored in Natter, xposty from Bitches:

Since I had to take some before snaps before moving. This is my office in all its glory. The rest of my house is actually quite pretty, but let's just say the move to new roomier office space is long overdue. This is a public service. After viewing the photos you will no longer feel like slobs.

This is a wide view facing my desk. Photo of Brendon with Kristin and Hil on the monitor. Trudy, Debet, and ND are also in there. [link]

Brendon's side of the office isn't near as bad. In the new space we won't be sharing an office for the first time in 17 years. [link]

This is what hides behing my desk. The George Washington on the wall was a gift from my dad since I was born on George's day. [link]

It only gets worse when you look toward the printers, but you can see my dipolma and honor cords there too. Woo! [link]

The closet, also not real useful at the moment. I am looking forward to moving this weekend so very much! [link]

How I love the linky function! Almost as much as love getting a new office.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know too many people that are well-adjusted that feed live animals to their pets, ya know?

Obviously I'm speaking from a bit of a bias, because it's mainly the smell that keeps me from being a snake owner who might do just this but ... really? Do you think that sample extends into the general public any more practically than well-adjusted pit bull owners, for instance? I mean, does keeping one of those pets bug you because you don't know enough well-adjusted people who do it, or is there another reason?

This shirt is making me laugh [link] (attn: sarameg, and Liese if you're around)

That article said they only tested men's brains. Maybe it's easier for women's brains to make female voices...hmm?

Those shirts are hi-fucking-larious! I might need this one: [link]
