So my intention was to do a bit of work early this morning, but then I had to read all the night posts!

A bit of a meara but I had way more reactions and comments in my head!

maybe I'll be in my new nifty condo with fab view, and folks could come down and sit a spell on my porch and watch the sun set over the Los Angeles Basin

Yes!

Sorry, I see nipples, and I smile, apparently, even when it's printed.

Nipples Nipples Nipples

My toes are my least favorite body part, I wish I had a new book to read and I have way too many pads.

There is a common thread here; I just know it.

Hardison on Leverage is still my favorite.

Well, yeah. But I am a bit smitten with Parker.

And my something I learned today is Shotgun mics!

M*A*S*H episodes can still make me laugh or cry on the Nth viewing.

BaconFest, oh my. Every town needs one of these. We do have a GarlicFest, which is an olfactory delight.

Have a good Friday. Have a ton of work to do here and the parentals and my sister are coming this afternoon so add laundry to the list.

:: sits with Laura on Parker Smitten bench... hubba hubba ::

Are you in Gilroy, CA?

Fluffy the chair pulled me to sleep, alas, I am awake, far too early, and not sleepy enough to just transfer to bed. So syncing new songs to iPad and iPhone. Alas, iPhone doesn't seem to want to sync...grrr. And it looks like disc 3 of the 4 disc set didn't rip. But the Beatles LOVE soundtrack and Bing Crosby did, so, 5 out of 6 ain't bad, right?

Curious. So, I did rip disc 3, but the CDDB lists it as Disk 2 in the name field, but disc 3 in the disc field. Most interesting. So, it looks like it's copied over to my iPad. And ejecting the iPhone and reconnecting it got it working, so it's syncing now. Once that's done, off to bed to try and catch a few more zzz's.

So, I got an envelop in the mail yesterday from my state legislature representative. Just an envelop. There are post office stamps on it - one says "received unsealed" and the other says "rec'd without contents". The flap was torn up a bit. Over one of the tears is a piece of tape. So, what? The post office gets this thing, there's nothing in it, and to keep the nothing from getting out, they tape it up? Or is that to prevent some unauthorized thing from getting in to attack and kill the nothing?

I should specify that I have no reason to believe that the original contents were terribly important. This representative has a charming (in this digital age) habit of sending out typed letters responding to written messages from her constituents, even emails. I have on occasion emailed her about various issues. Due to the volume of messages she receives, it does take her awhile to reply. It's been so long since I emailed her about whatever-it-was, that I don't remember what it could have been about. I imagine that the letter either said, "thank you for contacting me about x issue, here is my stance on it, here is what legislation is pending about it, and here are the chances it will make it out of committee". That, or "stop stalking me, dammit."

erin_obscure, take a look at the scarletteen site for info for the wee sister.

Yup. Scarletteen is a good resource.

Or is that to prevent some unauthorized thing from attacking and killing the nothing?

Hmmm, maybe Hoover's FBI is onto your State Legislature Representative. Got some dirt on you two.

t /snarky paranoia

OK, really. going to bed now.

Wow. Apparently having an orka star (like this: [link] for dogs is The Best Thing Ever. I never knew this puppy can be this happy. I do need to film this.

{{{Maria}}} I hope you were able to get some sleep last night.

I am either sick or my stomach is reacting to house hunting stress in an extreme way.

Either way, not fun.

I am at school and am chilling until 2nd period. I have 1st period off this semester which can totally rock because I can come in a bit late, but I've had door duty this week and have had to be here On Time. The horrors.

Nothing is going to dampen my mood however, as we leave for Baconfest in about 8 hours.

And, Mickey had a decent day yesterday. He actually spent several hours out of the bed hanging out with me. I'm dropping him at the vet this afternoon on our way out of town. That's the only concern I have today. Mickey doesn't handle separation from me well when he's not sick. He gets depressed. The good thing about that is that he tends to stress eat and getting him to eat more right now would be good.
