Glow in the dark bubble bath

python

Can't tell about the feet, but you reminded me another picture...off to see if I can find it somewhere.

Got it: Snake wash

Wierdness. I have a lost and/or injured pigeon. I never see pigeons around here, but this one was hopping around my pool area. It has a red tie wrap on one foot and a band with writing on the other foot.

DH convinced it to hop into a kitty cage so I can take it to an animal shelter tomorrow. With the number of cats we have around it would not live the night outside. I put some water and croutons in the cage. I don't have bird seed.

Have no clue how it managed to find my house or where it came from.

Snake wash

Oh, that is just the cutest picture ever. That doesn't involve kittens. Or puppies.

The picture is weird - is that one of the sheep's feet sticking out of the python's mouth?

I don't think so. The weirdness on the right side of its jaw matches the weirdness on the left side of its jaw. I think they're both just... its jaw.

While I was trying to figure it out, I came upon this photo of a python's open mouth, which doesn't clarify much but it's too creepy not to share. [link]

And this shows a python skull with the mouth open. [link] So the bottom jaw isn't... connected. Which is freaky! Er, and so I think the two halves of the jaw are still all stretched out and funny-looking in the photo.

Laura, that's very odd. I admire your patience in not trying to read whatever's on the band. (Do you think it's carrying microfilm? You should tell us it was carrying microfilm.)

Hrm, apparently there are no coffee-drinkers on nightshift tonight, as the pot is empty and cleaned. I normally don't drink it myself, but it's another caffeine source and I've already had 3 cups of tea tonight. It might be time for me to figure out how to use a coffee maker.

ETA: Well, considering the machine made noises and then a coffee-like substance seems to be pouring into the pot, I think I figured it out. No explosions, which is good, though the loud crash as I was walking away, prompting me to doubleback and discover that the filter-holder thing had fallen off and trying to wedge it back into place without making a bigger mess means it could have gone better.

Kalshane - if you get into a situation when you are sleepy - put some alarms on your computer or cell pohone - at least if you fall asleep ,you'll wake up to check the stuff you need to check

At the moment I'm awake (and don't have a cell phone) and drinking my first personally-brewed cup of coffee. (Tastes just as vile as the stuff other people make, so I guess I did it right) so I'm good for now. Thanks, though.

I've either reached the point where my body has realized I'm not sleeping any time soon and is dealing with it (I feel really tired, but I'm not in danger of nodding off) or else I've managed to get the proper amount of caffeine in my system to counteract the urge to sleep.

ETA: I also brought a tennis ball with me. Whenever I start getting to where I feel like I might nod off, I get up and bounce it off the server room door for about 5 minutes. I got the idea from playing with the vendor logoed superball sitting on someone's desk last night, but the tennis ball is a little less likely to go wild and destroy a light fixture.

I've also felt it necessary to add "Elite Squad of Ninja Monkey's Deployed" as a step on a project planning chart someone drew on the department whiteboard. So I'm keeping myself entertained.

Girlfriend is wise. She suggested putting instant hot chocolate into coffee. Resulting beverage is actually tasty. Maybe I should keep her.

Did everyone else go to bed, or do they just all have lives?

I'm, err. Writing things I shouldn't be.

Taking a break from one thing I shouldn't be writing to write another, in fact.
