Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

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.

DXM, I thought about that, but when I said I couldn't get to it ... really, I can't. I tried to see if I could reach the mechanism or disconnect the switch and...it must have been put together by machines!

I swear, modern appliance assembly totally thwarts the DIYer in me. And my second-generation-Depression-survivor mentality. (When my grandfather died at 90, we finally examined his dish drainer closely. It had NO original materials left. All fence wire and epoxies. Had to be 40+ years old.)

Jeebus, msbelle. I really really hope y'all find a way to get the schedule to ease up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Project Runway/Olympics crossover: This Finnish woman is a textile design student, and made her own costume!

I let the kids watch some Olympics. This resulted in the freestyle sofa leap competition which was not the best thing for right before bed.

Who won?

I'd have to say that Emaryn won. Leif had an "agony of defeat moment".

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

Nice pictures, Hec.

ION, my kitty managed to take me by surprise and jump on my shoulder as I was walking about. Once there, he likes to ride around and see things from a new (not ground level) perspective. I took a few pictures (warning - I look rather dorky in the picture I'm in): [link]

In fact, I look rather nervous. Which is not true, as I no longer have to worry about him jumping up on my shoulder. In reality, I'm trying to see if he's looking suitably photogenic....
