Jilli, have you tried Blavod? I saw an article in the paper about Halloween cocktails and it looked pretty cool.
Tomorrow we have two realtors coming over to try to get a good assessment of asking price for our house. We've cleaned and prepped and are waiting for them to tell us what we need to finish to get this sucker sold for enough to have a downpayment on the new house. The next two weeks are going to be interesting.
...Omnis in my dream I was late for work and you offered to give me a ride
Aw, now everyone knows I got a huge nice-guy side to me.
I have been working on school stuff all afternoon. And I didn't even get a single paper graded. Boohiss.
ERIN IS ME. And I have a CRAPLOAD of grading to do ASAP.
fret fret fret fret
ASSCAPS are neeeded, yes they are.
House-ma, Cash!
Omnis in my dream I'm afraid you were a bit too nice. At some point you really ought to have said, "stfu it's not my fault you're late." On the other hand I'm not quite sure how I got from the passenger seat to fleeing The Dark Lord so maybe your dream car has an ejector seat.
Jilli, have you tried Blavod? I saw an article in the paper about Halloween cocktails and it looked pretty cool.
Cashmere, it tastes kinda like printer toner. I still have a bottle of it that I have made exactly one drink with.
So, I have swirly bats inked on my left arm! There will be photos in a couple of days.

O man. First you let everyone know that I'm a nice guy. Now everyone knows about the ejector seat! There are no secrets left about me!
ION, I haz tickets to Florida! Woot! Arriving in Orlando on the 8th, leaving the 12th. Red eye out, early-morning-PITA-to-wake-up for the ride back. This will be the closest thing to a vacation in about 6 years or so. Tho, the whole time is with family, so it could be very nerveracking.
Daisy, you're going to Budapest??? That is so cool! I'm jealous.
I am exhausted and sore. But my living room and bedroom are painted (the bedroom was kinda halfass, though--I didn't tape the ceiling, just got as close as I could and figured it was good enough. Got some paint on the ceiling, too). I did THREE COATS on the damn yellow wall, and it was still imperfect. Used the whole gallon of paint. BOO GLIDDEN, YOU SUCK. Baer paint was much better. Only did one coat in the bedroom.
Still haven't painted the guest room.
Am a little annoyed that none of the colors came out like what I thought they would. Mostly the yellow stupid glidden crap, though. The orange-brown got a little closer as it dried. And I think the robin's egg blue in the bedroom was just my bad in looking at the colors. Ah well.
Best of luck with Ellie, Steph. That sounds very scary, especially the knowing someone who had their child have it, part.
I have not been eating particularily well, but not tons of crap, either. And I've been walking a LOT. But no gym. Hmm.
Are fishnets an exception to the general rule of "no pantyhose with open toed shoes"?
No. The only exception is grudgingly granted for those weird pantyhose that are toeless. And that is very grudging.
House-ma, Cashmere!
OK, I have to brag a little:
This morning at church we got to give a big round of applause to this guy: [link]
(Phil Mote, the first scientist mentioned.)
The pastor called up a group of people who are going down to Mississippi to help rebuild Katrina-damaged homes, and Phil was among them. Pastor Dan said something like, "And there's the tiny matter of a Nobel Peace Prize," and we all clapped and clapped.
Granted, thousands of scientists shared the award, but that's still not the kind of thing you get to do every day.
