I JUST SAW A MOUSE POKE ITS HEAD OUT OF MY ***STOVE***.
It must have crawled up through the walls from the basement (there's construction going on down there, maybe they disturbed a nest)?
Ew ew ew ew ew.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Out of the stove???? Eeeeeeeeek!

It poked its head out from one of the burners (it's a gas stove, obviously), yep.
I made like a 1950's cliche and ran to the other end of the apartment, while DH bravely lifted up the top of the stove to see if it was still there. It's gone now, but we have no idea *where*.
[eta: And, of course, I was planning to clean the kitchen today. I still will -- if we've got a mouse hanging around, it means it NEEDS cleaning -- but I'm turning in my flipflops and boxers for closed-toed shoes and long pants.]

Yikes!
In non-Yucky news-- it looks like BBCA is having a Life on Mars marathon next week. (Does this mean that next Monday is the finale? Already?)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Was not Rachel McAdams in S1 (brunette, infinitely lovelier and more striking than her current generic blonde Hollywood incarnation) pointed out to you several times?
I just haven't gotten around to it yet! I can't spend all my time watching TV on the computer or else I'm an off-putting recluse, remember?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jessica, your stove-mouse trumps my laundry-silverfish. Gah.

Eek, Jess! I'd have turned into a 50s housewife stereotype myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eek is right!
In case anyone was wondering, the new Fiery Habanero Doritos are actually quite hot.

I would've been tempted to turn the burner on, because OMG. MOUSE IN THE STOVE?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I got off my ass and did some stuff: 2 loads of laundry, scrubbed the bathroom, and food prep for the coming week (chicken and rice with approximated Ber-beri seasoning, roasted red potatoes with rosemary, baked fish).
Also have done a wee bit of work on 2 long term projects: 1) sanding and staining the coffee table (I did a test patch). 2) writing out the recipes on the original mac.
I had a scare yesterday when I turned on the mac and the screen would not resolve to a full image. Thankfully today it did, so I started coping out the family recipes I have in there. Hopefully I can just get out all I want tonight and that poor old machine can go find a final resting place out of my home.
