Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Dear Postal Worker,

if I needed an unsolicited lecture on how I need to deal with my mail in a timely manner, I would have asked my mother. As it is, you're the reason people talk about going postal.

Thanks and piss off,
Kat

PS, do not ask if I want insurance or delivery confirmation because that does not instill confidence in your organizations ability to do the one thing it is supposed to do.

Four ducks flew by my window. Aw.

A few minutes later, I heard some crazy quacking and looked out to see what was up. Duck sex was up! Two males on a female. EW!

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

Hot duck on duck on duck action!

I am beginning to suspect that some ducks have rather loose morals... (without going so far as to mention that thing that gets mentioned often here....)

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

The guy who played John Jarndyce in the recent Bleak House miniseries was Wedge Antilles from Star Wars!

Neat! I didn't know about the Ewan-relatedness, either.

I love this blog post, if only for the title -- Anything An Octopus Can Do, A Parrot Can Do Better.

Sorry you had to deal with a postal asshat, Kat.

A few minutes later, I heard some crazy quacking and looked out to see what was up. Duck sex was up!

That's right, it's the time of year for nature's amorous displays...

My computer just started making a horrid blurble. It was the "mail" ding, but it was..fragmented. It's fine now, but that was odd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG. I got into a bitch session at the end of the work day that lasted an hour and a half. Too much! At least I am increasingly grateful that I've managed to avoid traveling with my boss.

Art Crawl!!!

FNL: Damn, it almost had me crying BEFORE the opening titles. And then Tim Riggins went and made me mad. I was so excited for Landry. And now. . . well, how the heck was that news ever going to be kept quiet ?

sumi, pretty much me too. Though I wasn't mad at Riggins. It seemed typical of him, shortsighted, but well intentioned that backfires on him. Boy is his own worst enemy.

boss + travelling with =/= the good.

Just back from the hospital. I'm irritated in that beyond category on one level and yet relieved on another. Stooopid avoidy doctors.
