Erin, I'm glad that the worst problem you have had with DSS is him forgetting playing wii with his dad.
How's the feline doing?
Hil, I wish for your advisor, that he becomes involved in a tragic accident involving a Guinness Book of World Records setting sized vat of cheese sauce, (you know, for the World's Largest Bowl of Nachos). Yes, I think that after you finish everything you need him for, he should drown in cruddy, cheap, nasty, hot cheese sauce. But not until after you finish with him, because I suspect that his tragic demise would muck things up for you.
WS, kitty's eye is very much improved. She is anxious to go outside again, but I think I will keep her in one more day.
I'm glad to hear that, Erin. And I think it is reasonable to keep her in a bit longer, even if it tries her patience.

Cheese sauce made with Velveeta.
I hope everything goes well with your stepmothership, Erin. He's about the age my half-sister was when my mother became her stepmother. I'll warn you that the summers she stayed with us devolved pretty quickly into a contest of wills between mother and stepmother. My half-sister, M, ate healthy food three months a year and junk the other nine. Her mother took away the clothes Mother made her. The sandals my mom bought her "ruined" M's feet. The slight trim of M's hair was a "disaster." At least your DH is not the lying alcoholic my dad was, which should help.
Yeah, DH is pretty much addicted to geekery.
His mom has her good points and bad points, so as much as I complain, I know it could be so much worse!
(I reserve the right to bitch, tho!)
(I reserve the right to bitch, tho!)
Oh, totally bitch here or elsewhere if you need. People need to vent. I mean, I know that as good a post-divorce relationship my parents have, there's no way that things could have been as easy as they made it seem to me over the years. I ended up with three amazing parents, for which I am incredibly grateful.

I actually like Velveeta. I was imagining the cheez food in the jars, and not the name brand jars, but the truly atrocious dollar store crap.

very cool. and it reminded me of a story one of neighbors -- when he was about 10 - had two grandparents, an aunt, an uncle, and his parents all living in the the same neighborhood. ( Most in one house) . At one point he looked at his uncle and said "when do I get to be the boss"

Omnis:
Made some brownies. No smoke! Woot! So the apartment didn't burn down or anything. Ready for you to come out and visit. Well. Wanting at least. The place is still crazy with boxes. But by the time you get here, should be settled down. I wonder how the graduate program in Sociology [embedded link to my new job] is at my new place of work?? Hmmm. Was that a subtle hint? Hey, your father would be happy, it's not Dallas, since he didn't like that city and all.
:: whistles innocently ::
Shir:
You're such a sweetheart.
But I don't want to continue with sociology/anthropology studies. There are other fields I'm interested in, and I'm debating what's better: MA or PhD abroad.
Regardless to that or to my lack of wanting to actually live in the U.S.: I'll come and visit, of course.
Omnis:
You could do both abroad! Eh. You would miss home.
What area do you want to study?
Now get back to studying!
Shir:
Librarianship and Information Studies for MA.
Dunno what for PhD.
Studying is for wimps.
Omnis:
well then go to a pub and end your era of NGA.
:P
Shir:
Oh, wishful thinking... will take a whole lot more than a pub to get me some.
Omnis:
plane ticket?
Shir:
OK, I laughed.
Omnis:
Who ever gets that first stop on your trip will be one lucky camper.
Shir:
Oh, it's so not a problem; just need this flight ticket to go to straight Cardiff. There's supposed to be a Ianto there and all.
Omnis:
Um. He died. What about the Doctor? And our 4some?
Shir:
10th also died. But pfft, I'm geeky enough to accept dead-in-this-or-other-reality men into the foursome.
And foursome? I thought it was fivesome, with the present companion.
This feels so wrong to talk about before the morning's coffee, dammit. I blame you.
Omnis:
Nope it was a foursome. You, me, Dr DT and some rocker dude. I'd remember a fifth. I mean, orgy with hot gal, very cool. Sharing with 2 other guys, yikes. But DT is cute, so I figured I'd ignore the rocker dude. Now if you want to sub rocker dude for Ianto, well, he's kinda cute. But five? That's a lot of sausage. I'd be worried for you. Might be a bit sore. Not to mention going from NGA to 5some. Yikes. That's like breaking a landspeed record or something.
OK, stopping now. Perverse thoughts are entering the mind, and apparently it's early there. And ya, blame me. It's ok. Oh, and there is nothing wrong with sex talk in the morning. Even before coffee. Sex is even better than sex talk, so I am told. But I am a saint, and wouldn't know anything about that.
Mwah! Have a nice day!
Shir:
The fifth is for you (well, and as you mentioned, for me, to get a rest) - Karen Gillan!
And eww with the sausage references. Do I have to remind you I'm a vegetarian? That's a turn off.
And you, a saint. The saint of sex talks in the morning, then?
Omnis:
Oooo she's cute! Thanks :) How'd I forget about that? Curious. But I'll take it.
Sorry, sausage-fest is a term when you go to a party to try and pick up a girl, and it's a party of all guys. (or bar, or whatever social gathering).
Saint Of Sex Talk. Hmm. It has a strange ring to it. But it doesn't roll off the tongue. Can we trim it to Saint of Sex? Sounds hot, who knows, might knock me out of the NGA column.
Shir:
I know it's the term. Still doesn't make it sexy.
Right now I'm thinking of what would go with the acronym STD. If we're going inappropriate, let's stay there, I say.
Omnis:
Well if it's a turn off, we can get rid of the others. I'm ok with that.
Super Terrific Dude.
:: whistles innocently ::
Shir:
... I think we lost innocence two years ago.
I just recalled we don't even have an audience for this talk. That's so strange!
Omnis:
we can't be exhibitionists all the time. Plus you are in a grey out situation, so we can't (continued...)
