See, and now I'm all nekkid again, and it's entirely pointless, because my cat doesn't appreciate it in the slightest.

Hey there, Jars! Bangkok is great! My new kids are working their way up to being just as appallingly adorable as the last lot - I mean, there's some serious cuteness going on. Bless. How's things with you? I gather you're back in the city again?

Yeah, I'm living in Cork now. Such a relief to have things within walking distance.

You've got a good age for the kids - no hint of rebelliousness sneaking through yet. And all the adorable you can handle.

Shrödinger's Fay: She may or may not be nekkid on the internet.

I stumbled across this lolcat which y'all may have already seen, but - it cracked me up. It cracked me up enough that it made me type the word lolcat, which is something I very much never thought would happen.

I wonder if I could carefully remove the cat from that picture and then merge one with the other, and have it just sort of fade out in an animated gif. Possibly even have the "maybe" appear as the cat fades...

I love the next-day-before-the-next-day-starts posts when I wake up. That really did make sense to me. I think I need more coffee.

Today is my last free day before I go back to school myself. Must do laundry. I can't believe I haven't done that since I got back from Kansas. No, what I really can't believe is that I have that much underwear. Of course, I must not go anywhere today, lest I end up in the emergency room with the need to have my clothes cut off and people actually *see* this underwear. Maybe I should just go without.

Made total sense to me, and I do, too. I'm having a lovely cup of coffee and catching up before the friend I'm staying with wakes up. (Oh, he just did. Yeah, we both slept late.)

Jars! Nice to see you again. Yay for being back where the internet lives.

Morning, bitches! It's even still technically morning where I am, go me!

I am one quarter short of having enough to do my laundry. Grr. I think I'll put the stuff in the washer, and go to Dunkin Donuts and hope I get a quarter as change. If not, I'll have very wet sheets.

Hey vw! Hey Jen! Hey meara!

Yes, I am oh so pleased to once again be in the world of the internets. Even if I am supposed to be working right now...

Faffing on the internet when you've only been in the job for a week isn't good, is it?

Seems perfectly normal to me! :)

Jars is in Cork! I've spent more time in Cork than any other place in Ireland.

Which is to say about a week.

This is what I know about Cork: It is sinking; their librarians are useful and nice; you can carve peat from the nearby hills; people drink Murphy's Ale in the south of Ireland; Murphy's Ale is pronounced Marphy's; the students of communism at Cork University will gladly buy you free ale.

See, Laga, what you need is a nice hot Winchester boy to sort out these ghosts for you.

Which is exactly what I was going to say, but Fay beat me to it.

Damn, for a hot Winchester boy investigation, I'd be almost willing to off a neighbor and create my own ghost.

I found the One True Work Shoes! I've been on a search -- every school year, I buy a pair of shoes that are high enough to give me some needed height, cute enough to make me happy, go with most everything, and are yet comfortable enough to wear for teaching almost everyday. It's like a new Grail Quest for me each fall.

This year, I knew the Grail had to have 2" wedges, preferably in a give-y material, and NOT be Mary Janes (I've been in a years-long Jane rut.)

And of course I can't find a picture. But, OTWS!

After finding the OTWS, I went over to a friend's and we had a little BBQ and had grilled corn and burgers and melon and tomatoes and sangria and pie, and played dominoes. And the weather was perfect.
