My current apartment manager gets whiny and passive aggressive about letting people into my apartment. She got used to me being there when I was unemployed and it takes two or three times to get her back in while I'm at work.
But we dislike here. And she dislikes us. So she'll be gone in a sec.
I know what I'm supposed to be doing this weekend: one delayed birthday celebration and one going away thingummy. But I've been beyond lame recently so I may do neither.
Gave away the CI cake at krav. They seemed to like it, but then again free calories are always a hit there.
For lunch I may go to the crazy crepe guy across the street from the massage place.
I will be working all weekend.
Me too. Ah, life in the theatre!
One thing I love about being a homeowner is nobody can ever walk into my apartment unannounced. Nobody else has the right or the keys.
I have no idea what to get for lunch. I may end up going for the cheapo Chinese place because it's easy. Or maybe I'm in the mood for Indian food.
Which reminds me: Dana, we should confab about Yuletide!
The OED abandons some hyphens.

Scientists Find Conclusive Evidence Velociraptor Had Feathers
Scientists say they have evidence that a ferocious dinosaur made famous by the movie Jurassic Park definitely had feathers. Experts say the dinosaur, called Velociraptor, had a wing structure just like modern birds. VOA's Jessica Berman reports.
A new study by American researcher Alan Turner and his colleagues provides the first conclusive evidence that Velociraptor, a sprinting, vicious dinosaur that lived some 80 million years ago, had feathers.
The Velociraptor in the current study is estimated to have been one meter tall, 1.5 meters long and weighed just over 13 kilograms.
Turner, a graduate student at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and lead author of the study, says Velociraptor appears to have been a smaller creature than in Jurassic Park, but just as nasty.
"It's sort of as if you scaled up a chicken and then gave it really nasty teeth and big claws on its feet," he said.
Bud would it still taste like chicken?
What are people doing this weekend?
Getting cupcakes for DH's birthday, which is tomorrow. Kicking myself for letting said birthday sneak up on me. It's not that I'm not fully aware that his birthday is 9/22, just that I was in denial that we were more than halfway through September. Summer shouldn't be over yet! I'm not ready for clouds and painfully short days! So I'll be looking for someone to babysit Annabel NEXT weekend so we can have a proper birthday dinner at a restaurant with no kid's menu.
Which reminds me: Dana, we should confab about Yuletide!
Yes, I was just thinking that I have very little idea what to nominate. And not much free time to decide.
I keep the chain on the door when I'm going to be showering or asleep or something.

YES. (having been a victim of many pop-ins in my renting days also)
