Happy Hec day! You are as cool and swinging as a Tom Waits song.

I'm going through my books and taking a good long look at what I'm going to keep - I've got many too many. Some I will probably never read again and they've taken over the place.

Man, I love the old Hamilton Venturas... I searched in total vain for one for DxH years ago. Ended up finding a vintage Hamilton pocketwatch instead. I really liked the Ventura though...

Pretty much.

Whyfor oops, Lee?

One wrong thread post, and at least one double post. And 'Cuz I have a DOA brain.

What is salad just doing there in the break room, not being eaten? I will eat you, salad! Here, I will put Newman's Own balsamic vinaigrette on you and avoid the craisins or whatever the hell those are.

Hm, actually, they're pretty good. And they probably go well with the apples.

Skippety & Timelies

And a (belated) Happy Birthday to a plethora of Buffistas.

Kitties are still fun, and occasionally noisy. Tzepesh has become too inquisitive regarding surfaces he shouldn't be on. Both new kitties assure us that they should be fed wet food at the least twice a day, maybe three or more! We're not buying it, though, sadly, Trinian is.

My car had it's 90,000 mile service and I came out of it a full $1000 poorer. And I had to return it because a faulty seal on the oil pan was dripping oil right onto the hot exhaust causing the stink of burning oil. Then a stone put another crack in my windshield and it looks to be the one to break the proverbial camel's back and I will have to replace it soon. And one of my tires has a slow leak.

And I woke up with a start this morning and have had very slight adrenalized shakes all day.

Bollocks to all this, I say.

In better news, the F2F pictures are nearly done. I have had some fun with photoshop wizardry, changing one Miracleman photo so subtly that it'll take some hunting to find it, changing a Drew photo in a completely unsubtle way, and hitting a new highpoint in PS achievement by seamlessly transplanting a pair of eyes from one photo to another to fix an unfortunate blinking accident that was ruining an otherwise great picture. I challenge everyone to find that one, when I finally get it on the web. There's some other things added to, but I think the joy of the hunt is what's fun, don't you? Hopefully get the first batch of photos up very soon.

Speaking of watches (and b/c he's here), Pete has a kickass watch.

Also, Tofutti sugar-free fudge popsicles (30 calories) might be the best thing ever invented.

Also also, I ordered a seriously cute swimsuit that is going to look great on me, and I need it delivered ASAP b/c I have a pool party on Saturday. t /shallow

Oof. I've been nibbled to death by ducks at work today. Somebody better invent the vodka IV stat.

Happy birthday to Deb and Nic!

Happy birthday to Hec!

Raq, please to not injure the hotness that is you.

Adorable kitties! They all lust after the wet food. Fie on the car repairs though, Pete.

Seriously cute swimsuit is right, Tep. I like very much.

Happy HecDebNic Day!!! A day for all Buffistas to celebrate! (or even to cerebrate, as I started to type).

two bags of Teppers and Rices

Um, is that an offer, Bev? 'Cuz I might have a friend who's been looking to replace some mysteriously missing (possibly loaned) Teppers and Rices, and could be induced to pay/bribe for shipping, if you're so inclined (and if you've already made the offer in Press or BeepMe, please excuse my haven't-read-announcements-yet-pushiness).

Raq, brilliant Daniel Song. Please be careful of your lovely self on the steps so you can keep the good material coming t /selfish.

Lovely travels and continued adventures, Fay!

Pete, ouch on the car, but yay on the pics. Can't hardly wait to see them!

That is a cute suit, Steph. Have fun at the party.
