But I like to think it was "God built in a kill switch when designing giraffes as a safeguard against them going rogue".
That's totally how evolution works!
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well, I've never heard of a rogue giraffe, so I guess it works!!
Ended up canceling all plans, watching an episode of Freaks and Gerks at D's house, and going to bed early. I didn't sleep well, as usual. That plus benadryl means I'm fighting the urge to crawl into bed and snooze, but I still have to go finish my side job, meet with that friend to get a check, and do some other stuff before the game.
Burrell, that sounds wonderful.

Smonster, I hope the ant bites are not having any long term effect. It just proves how much a rockstar you are, that in the face of adversity and adreniline, you kept a calm head, and did the ot water thing.
BT, you crack me up. Also, if zombies ever come to life, please becareful. Your brain seems especially spicey.
ION- the flooring guys are here to finish installing the laminate that they started on July 7th! Not that I'm counting or anything. He was all "wow, it took a long time to fix the floor". Um. Yeah. Tell me about it. The store didn't tell me what time, just that it would be Sunday. I've been up since 7:30. They arrived about 9:30. He apologized, for not being here at 8:30. And then tells me he has a boxing match and has to leave around noon. And might not finish the job, but will be back tomorrow to do the quarter round, or whatever is left. ::sigh:: yes. But I have to work tomorrow. And this is why I haven't scheduled Closet World to come in yet. As soon as this is all done, and I am all moved in, it will be a memory and a great story. In the meantime. I'm just tired of it all.

omnis, how tedious!! As a contractor, I try to be as respectful and clean and efficient as possible, but I know having people in your space and things disrupted is a super PITA.
Side job done, check received!! He was very complimentary of my work, which means a lot to me as he is a valued mentor in my life as well as a friend. He actually paid me more than I asked, since it took longer than I thought.
Now market and home and other things, then the game. I fear for the Saints, against Green Bay. OY.

Smonster, that's great! Always cool when folks pay in a timely manner. And super cool he upped the fee.
Here is where my housework is a chessgame was a failure. I was going to start hanging things on a couple of the living room walls while the flooring guys were working in the bedroom. However, I forgot I needed to pull stuff out of the bedroom. And where did they go? Yes, blocking the walls I was going to hang art. Oh well.

Sorry this is still such an ordeal omnis.
I'm cooking, I haven't felt like cooking in a long time but I made some simple things when mom was here. (The grocery store has cut up meat, veggies, starch, and sides you can buy so we did variations of that. Not so much cooking as heating and stirring stuff).
I went to the farmer's market and picked up some stuff and then the grocery store (it was cold and rainy so a lot of vendors didn't show) and now I'm making Experimental Beef Stew.
Currently it's browned beef, sauted fennel and garlic and mushrooms, simmering in beef broth and some hard cider with various seasonings. Then I'm going to add sweet potato and swiss chard. Hopefully it will be good.

Jesus god, I just put the check through the washer. Totally disintegrated. ::facepalm::I am so sorry, but, I did laugh as I read this. Not a mean laugh, but a "isn't it funny how life works" kinda laugh. You did say the side job was a good friend? Call them and tell them. Get a new check cut. Hand them the pulp. And try and laugh it off.

Already talked to him. He apologized for not using waterproof ink. I'll get another check.

Experimental Stew is...not bad but I got crazy and added tons of stuff. Not bad though.
