Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

I managed to put together my new Expedit thing I got at Ikea last night, and am v. proud. Of course, I have not done laundry or put away the PILES AND PILES of clothes on my bed, but whatev'. I'm not sleeping in it tonight, so I can wait until I get home, exhausted, on Wednesday night, right? Right?? Um.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Shoveled snow at work for four hours, because of course the snowblower died (we'd deemed it dead last winter, but new boss...) including the roof of the sunporch because there's a leak. Got home, neighbor lady is shoveling the driveway while her 17 yo daughter is wandering around in her tennis shoes bitching that she's late for work. I wish her parents made her actually take responsibility for making sure she got to work on time in any weather conditions, but that's not why I helped shovel (it's because I use that driveway too).

Did laundry, but I'm good for nothing for the rest of the day. Sprained ankle has me out of shape in more places than just my ankle, I'm realizing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Shove 'em into an empty laundry basket? Works for me.

I have made beef stroganoff, yay. I still have cheesecake to make, that may have to wait until after the game, or halftime, we'll see how things go. I'm now taking my canning rig on its maiden voyage as a steamer - I think I like it so far, although it's definitely bigger than I need. So it goes.

My hand wash only kitchen items are jealous of your industry, Suzi.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, that was....yeah.

I hope Anne or someone is enjoying this. Because it must look pretty good from the other sideline.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a Wii Fit which I use...occasionally. You can avoid the judgmental bits by telling it you're 8 feet tall. (Personally, I find the sad fat Mii hilarious, so I keep her around. But I do wish there was a "no really, fuck off" option on the screen that asks you why you gained weight since your last body test. Because really, fuck off. You're a goddamn computer what do you care anyway.)

Heh, that is exactly what I tell the Wii every time it asks me that. Verbally, because there's no such option to click, but I do say it every time. And then I don't do the balance tests because I don't want to spend more time with such a jerk.

Seriously, football?
