I would've yelled if I'd been the parent on the spot when it happened.
Also, if I hadn't already been desensitized to all my possessions breaking by the car and heater things. Sigh.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I have no heat, no water and thus no happy. Grrr.
The puppy, however, is curled up under an electric blanket and oblivious. So she's good.

oh noes! what's going on in the people's republic Sparky?! at least you still have wifi....
ION - I spaced a potential client call on Friday afternoon (she'd spaced returning mine a week ago, but I don't think that matters). We both have kids, we both lack brains, but. Feh.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh no, Sparky! Heat and water~ma.
In whiny meme news, I have a nasty sinus headache that won't die. I'm trying to recover enough to drive down to Laga's for a yummy home-cooked meal. It's stabby and evil. The headache, not the meal.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I can assure you the meal will not be stabby.
I hope your heat and water come back soon, sparky.

The heat is back, but the fellows in the truck just dropped off 6 gallons of water and a promise that water will be back "soon, maybe."
The puppy is never, ever going to leave the electric blanket.
We're supposed go to a wedding tomorrow, so I hope we're able to take showers, etc.

Yay for heat! Now come on water!

Sparky, if your wedding involves southward travel, you are more than welcome to shower on Capitol Hill. I'd even puppy sit!

I R Smart!
I decided to update my website after nearly a year, and when I opened Front Page it decided to start throwing errors that my webhost said weren't anything on their end. I mulled for a while, then figured I'd try another program. I downloaded PageBreeze, futzed with it for a while, figured out what it wanted, and created a new page and updated the links on the various index pages.
Then I discovered that the freeware version of PageBreeze doesn't have an upload function. More mulling, then I downloaded FileZilla, which I discovered at work, and I was able to upload my new pages. After a bit more futzing, all the images are visible, all the links work, and I feel pretty damned smug.
Maybe I can cope with these fancy thinking machines.
