For some reason, I heard the word "impressive" in Darth Vader's voice....

BWAH! That made me laugh and laugh and laugh

Oh my lord, like a drain.

My period's been getting unpredictable recently. But it could be strees. I just remember my mom waiting and waiting for meno, and cursing each month when it clearly hadn't happened. Mind, she was quite older than me.

Proseco, yay! Denver yay!

YAY!

There will definitely be prosecco in Denver. Or... we'll go pick some up before Brenda arrives. If I don't already have it at the house.

Snippet from the evening conversation while watching BSG:

"We need Jess here. She'd totally know the answer."

So, Jess, if your ears were burning or you had a sudden urge to answer BSG trivia, that's probably why.

Nicole is petting Kittenish. She's very soft and has slunk out of my room to be sorta socialish.

Also Puppycat taught Nicole the "oops I falled down" game. Quite the avid player too.

Now we wait for zee McDreamy... And zee McProsecco.

If the temperature would drop I could also light zee McFireplace.

Yo, Bitches, guess who has a 'puter again?!?!

Yay, Trudy!!!

OK, I know what I want to go as for Halloween, but not how to achieve it (cheaply). Does anyone know of anyplace I could get, or anyway I could fake, a three-piece suit like this: [link]

It's going to be dyed pink. And I will be Pink Freud.

Last night I made garlic roast chicken on a bed of roast potatoes with zucchini (or courgettes, in the parlance of this country) and 3/4ths a bottle of pinot grigio.

Needless to say, it was very good. I'm not sure whether I was more tipsy on the flavor or the wine.

Gronk. I couldn't convince Teacup Guy to take a sick day today, despite him being sick. He didn't have paid sick time at his last job; I think it is going to take him a while to get used to it.

My TA will be whisked off on a school trip in November, as an extra adult to go along with the Year 5 & 6 kids, with our Canadian TallBlondNot!RodneyMcKay guy and the Annoying Guy. Apparently last year they went to the jungle, hiking. This year they're going up to Chang Mai, which is Thailand's other big city (although wee compared to Bangkok, natch).

Jungle.

One of the parents whose child went on the trip last year is very ... reluctant... to let their son go on the trip. Apparently she's been coming in complaining about it every day, even though her husband's okayed it.

Apparently her son, last year, returned from the jungle trip with a leech in his underpants.

(I translate for the USAians, lest anyone assume that by pants I mean trousers).

In his PANTS.

A LEECH.

She brought said underwear into school, still stained, and waved it at the headmistress. Apparently.

A leech. In his pants.

shakes head.

...back in the UK, I feel reasonably sure that returning from the class trip with a leech in your underwear is not an everyday occurance.

Year 3 are off on a 3 day boat trip, but parents are worrying about safety because of the floods. Year 4 went to a Snake Farm.

...I'm thinking Starbucks would be a great place to take Year 2 for a class trip. Or, you know, maybe the cinema. Yeah. Something sans bloodthirsty death. Call me crazy.

A leech. In his pants.
