Teppy, guest lizard is creepy.

She's creepier in person, because she can out-stare anyone. I don't think she needs to blink.

Tep, I got this for Owen at MOMA. How cool would a picture of Saki be with that?

SUPER city-destroying cool!!

I think Saki is a seriously cool-looking lizard. But I may be a little freaky that way.

She's cool, but in a creepy, unblinking way. Sort of like Christopher Walken.

Does Guest Dog have some Australian Cattle Dog in him?

Possibly? Her owner said mastiff and [memfault] something else.

Chloe may not be a rocket scientist dog, but dang she is pretty. Of course, I'm partial to the spotty dogs.

Saki is, indeed, cool. Not as alarmingly huge as I imagined. But ubercool.

Chloe may not be a rocket scientist dog, but dang she is pretty.

I only put up the pretty pictures, under threat of severe dalmatian glaring. (That's about all she can do to express her displeasure: glare. Well, and bark a LOT, but not at us.)

Guest lizard looks perturbed. And I saw the picture of Slinky's Gaze of death, I have a feeling that's showing up a lot.

I had a rough morning, we have this lotus calendar thing at work to track when people are coming to work, leaving, or will be out. One of the people in my aunt's department had marked them all out tomorrow for about 2 hours for the funeral. It said funeral on it. I lost it. Started cryuing but then got irrationally mad (although I did not say this to anyone) that this person dared put the word funeral on this thing that I would see and that my aunt would see. But itwasn't malice just routine.

Also the obit is up, I asked that no one talk to meabout it at work today, lest I lose it. Bu tI have looked at it. I'll be posting a link on my lj in a filter.

Someone asked me what I'm doing this weekend and I have no idea. Maybe with my family maybe not I don't know. We've been constantly together for this week, it's just hard to think that far ahead.

askye, I'm so sorry. Having just gone through something similar, I remember how untethered and unstable everything felt. Hugs and peace to you and your family. I wish there was more I could do.

that this person dared put the word

that seems insensitive to me too. I don't think it was intentionally cruel. Some people are just clueless. I'm so sorry, askye.

Steph, sorry about the guest pets. One thing in the lizard's favor - you're probably not allergic to it. (Guest cat is nifty looking - she has a mask!)

Bringing my rant here, 'cause it's a much more herery rant.

Good lord. So I got two tickets to Eddie tonight. Invited best friend before all kinds of crap with her shitty boyfriend hit the fan. Lately, she hasn't seen or talked to most of us a lot or often, so I was kind of afraid she would flake.

So last week I get an email asking if we were still on. "Of Course!" I say.

Didn't hear from her again, so I called last night to make sure she could still go, "Uhm. I don't know. Sorry to be so flaky, but [shitty ass boyfriend] leaves town the next day. Can I call you tomorrow?" (That being today. The day of the show.)

I get a phone call this morning. "Hey! I can go! Email me and we'll work out details." So I say I can probably be out by 6-meet for a drink-then show.

Sounds great-she'd love to have a drink. Now I have an email in my inbox that says, "Hey, can I just meet you at the theater at 7:30-45?" ...for the show that starts at 8. The show that I bought tickets for, the show that's been sold out for weeks. Izzard. In. Dallas.

Dude, sorry for the bother.

Lemme catch a flight - I'll be there by 7:30.

Em has her first dentist appointment today at 5:00. With my childhood dentist. I am excited and yet, kind of nervous. I hope she doesn't freak out. Any one else get their toddler through the dentist ok the first time out?
