Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. Some of those hockey names no one would ever guess...or spell correctly! The other thing you can do for passwords is to use the first letters of a phrase that you can easily remember. "Twas brillig and the slithy toves" becomes Tbatst. I tend to do a lot of l33t to add in the numbers, so that could become Tb@t5+.

Our weather...we had snow last night. But yesterday we had torrential rain. It flooded out Apache and evacuated some people. Flooded out (impassible) three out of the four possible routes to our new house. Eep! The builder, who tried number three of those routes, said the water crossing the road was six to eight feet!

!

This is why you should not camp in washes, peoples! It looks all innocent and like it's a tiny tiny stream, but when the rains come and the snowpack melts, you'd better get out the way. Anyway, today it's a little better.

Ahh, my first hockey game of the season was the Habs vs. Bruins bloodbath the other weekend. Now those are the injury-prone underachievers I recall from my days of pre-strike fandom!

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

I've been checking the temperature pretty regularly. Temp fell ten degrees in about 15-20 minutes....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My eyelids are falling.

I've always wondered if it'd really work to prop your eyes open with toothpicks like cartoon characters do....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I went and got some eye tests done today. For most of the day my pupils remained dilated and I looked like an anime character. An anime character who could not read, or get any work done, really.

So I get to the mechanic. The guy checks the computer to print out the record. "I'm sorry, it isn't ready yet. We didn't get the part until 4." WHAT?! "I called at 4:45, and was told it was ready." t do a couple iterations on this theme, offers me a loaner for the mixup & misinformation Guy goes to check in the garage, to check with the guy doing the work on "Miss Lastname's car ". Comes back "As you can see, they've still got it in there." "Uh, that's not my car. Mine's out front." "Oh crap, your name & car again?"

He'd clicked on the record of the other female Lastname whose car was being worked on by the same guy today, by accident.

So anyway, much laughter. He goes to get the keys. They aren't hanging on the hooks. Aren't on the desks. At this point I'm just sitting in a chair, laughing helplessly as three guys trash the office looking for the keys, apologize all over themselves and calling the mechanic who has just left. He pulls up. Main guy says "wait a minute" and runs to the back. He comes back "he left them in his vest!"

Not counting the return-call thing, they really aren't usually this crazy. I think it was just the curse of me. It's par for the course, lately.

I've been insanely sleepy all day. Fall asleep at the desk sleepy. And this after overlepopokg (that was supposed to be oversleeping). Having the head hurt isn't helping.

You don't want to know how many naps were taken in the composition of this post.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You aren't driving home I hope?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tired. What else is new?(It would be nice to have a night's sleep without waking up a bunch of times, I'm just saying)
