Faith ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
We're up in Tahoe. It's a winter wonderland.
I'm intrigued by the recurring Alpine motif and am trying to talk people into going to the Swiss Chalet for fondue.
Emmett and I have been building horrific Calvin & Hobbes inspired snowman heads with icicle tusks.
JZ is contendedly flipping through Life Magazine's yearbook for '51, and her brother Chris is upstairs napping (hence I have access to his laptop).
We're going sledding in an hour.
Congratulations shrift!
That sounds lovely, Hec!
I, however, am at work. Again. Or still. Or something. Since Jan. 16, I have only had 1 day off, and yes, that includes weekends. I've been working 60-70 hour weeks until this week and I'll hit close to 90 hours by the time I leave tonight.
We have a HUGE report due tomorrow and we are so close to being done now, I actually see light at the end of the tunnel. I am exhausted, though. I seriously need a day to lay around the house and do absolutely nothing.
Ow. I just did a bunch of long-overdue weeding and my back hurts. Ouch.
Where's my cabana boy to bring me frilly drinks and give me a massage?
msbelle, unfortuantely, money does not motivate me. Weird, I know.
Yay for horrific C&H snowman heads, and for having someone to make them with!
I feel ya, Suela. I went roller skating last night, for my friend Nate's bday. I fell down only three times, but my ass and back kinda hurt today.
Not BAD, but...a backrub, half a Vicodin and some iced Earl Grey via Cabana Boi wouldn't come amiss.
via Cabana Boi wouldn't come amiss.
This read as very funny to me since boi means cow in Portuguese (which I spoke for the 18 months we lived in Brazil). Carne do Boi is a very popular steak restaurant.
Yay! I did a teeny tiny bit of school-related work!
Still no progress on my philosophy of education. Christ. "My philosophy is... when some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Emily always says at a time like that: 'Have ya paid your dues, Emily?' 'Yessir, the check is in the mail.' That's my philosophy."
It just took me 15 minutes to pick up all of the cat toys (thanks, auntie Perkins!). The girls have thoroughly sniffed the vacuum. Now comes the part where I freak them out with the scary, noisy, sucky thing.
Ya really shook the pillars of heaven, didn't you, Emily?
This is from day before yesterday, but I wanted to point out that Addison Shepherd was also on the "Ch-ch-changes" episode of CSI, as "Mimosa", along with Maggie Walsh.
It's so stupid, but seeing people I now recognize on old shows is one of my favorite things about watching them. Like, Stephanie Romanov was Kellerman's ex on Homicide.
