Would Matilda like a taxidermied squirrel? I hear the Blogess could help her out.
Heh - we've got a taxidermied mouse in the house, much like the one on the Bloggess' book cover. It's actually a Hamlet mouse with a little ruff around its neck and holding a little mousey Yorick skull.
She now has a taxidermied robot mouse.
Since she's using it for her blog, she's decided it's tax deductible.
This is why IRS staff burn out early, isn't it?
I just received an email with the subject line: "insert logo here"
text of the email was an announcement of student awards.
Woohoo Geneva job!
I totally have the ASMR thing too! Until the TAL piece that I heard a couple of weeks ago I thought everyone had it. I don't get it from all whispering, lip smacking, tongue clicking and some other sounds set my teeth on edge.
For me, it's that nervous finger-tapping...really makes me want to break the tapper's hand(I had several instructors that did it too.)
Woohoo, Sparky, that's great news!
My sister raised a baby squirrel that was, hm, must have been injured or something to have come into her possession, I forget that part. Used to like to perch on her head. It eventually went back into the "wild" of the Portland tree canopy.
New US$100 bill in circulation 10/8 - Boing Boing
The new US$100 bill will go into circulation on October 8, 2013. New security features include a "3-D Security Ribbon" woven into the paper. The image changes from bells to 100s with the viewing angle, and "color-shifting" bell graphic that changes from copper to green, "an effect which makes the bell seem to appear and disappear within the (copper-colored) inkwell."
Please tell me Batman is on the new $100 bill.
(Seriously, about 2 hours ago at work we were discussing currency, and how you don't have to be a president to be on the bill, thank you B. Franklin. So I said Batman should be on the $20, and Chatty said that would be too confusing, since Jackson is crazier than Batman.)
I would totally be down for a Bruce Wayne: President crossover event.
Yay for the DH's new job, Sparky! A few trips a year to Switzerland sounds like a bonus to me.
ita, what is with your workplace? Why aren't the people above you who MAKE the bad decisions the ones who get reprimanded for them?
I need to buckle down and get to work. This morning was brutal as I had been awake since 2 am and needed a nap before I could get going.
