I'm pretty sure you get special dispensation, Jilli. Due to the spooooky.

Bwah! Okay, good to know. (Oh, and can I use that as a tagline?)

I wondered if that was your former roommate. Wasn't there roadkill art?

Nope. Former roommate doesn't do ANYTHING near as elegant. (Aaaaand, looking for barking mad former roommate's website shows that the domain name is up for grabs.)

Seriously, I need to see what this person charges for commissions. We're getting Dread Beastie's skeleton back (all cleaned by a professional) in the spring, and we hadn't decided how we want to display him. (Yes, I had always planned on displaying at least his skull. Yes, I know. I am an odd girl.)

I love skeletons, and making art with them seems perfectly natural to me. But when I say things like that out loud, people look at me funny and pull their children away from my direction.

Heh. "Little Timmy is the perfect size for that empty corner in the living room."

I noticed that watching that DVI episode as well. It really was all about the outcome and not at all about his drinking. I don't think that has ever been addressed again in the episodes I have seen. Though I came in really late to the show so all of the repeats are new to me and I don't always know exactly where I am in the show's timeline.

I, um, actually think those are kind of nifty.

waits for the rest of the board to edge away from me

snuggles up to Jilli and coos over the precious skeletons.

I like skeletons. Perhaps it's something to do with being an anthropologist, so much of what we learn comes from them. I think the embellished ones are beautiful.

Yay for Tick DVDs! The skeleton sculptures are kind of riveting.

I can't text fast enough to make it worth my while, and no one who would text me can either, so it works out nicely.

Shrimp, roasted potatoes, and asparagus for dinner. Yum. Now I go back to organizing/cleaning my room. I made so much progress yesterday. My clothes closets look amazing. This morning, everything was clean, hung up and not wrinkled - it took me a long time to pick out an outifit because of all the choices. So sad.

Ha! I've found Rosie's super-seekrit hiding place! She's gotten into the habit of hiding in the mornings until I leave for the day, which really sucks for her on days like today when I don't leave. Yesterday she hid until 4:30 or so. Tonight she justcame out because I turned over the furniture she was hiding in. The swivel rocker that I thought had a solid bottom has a hole in it that is 7-8" in diameter.

I, um, actually think those are kind of nifty.

Hmm... I think it'd be kinda' cool - if it was some random cat I didn't know. But I think I'd be kinda' creeped out if it was my cat.

Or maybe I just don't want to think about his mortality. Maybe I'd feel differently once he was, um... departed.

Ikea

we were there

They were out of what we went for. But we got something to organize the closet/clothes better. We spent money. My DS and BIL , who came mostly just to wander - spent about 30 more dollars than we did.

We have now spent 2 hours working in the bedroom.

I am beat.

Heh. I drove across country with a cat. It took about five days. We'd sneak her into hotel rooms at night. One morning we couldn't find her, which was weird as we knew she hadn't left the hotel room. Turned out she'd crawled through a hole in the bottom of the box-spring mattress.
