Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There are few foods so delightful and delicious as eggs with golden runny yolks!
soft boiled eggs are delicious. I heartily recommend the addition of bacon and buttered toast.
Next time!
Now I am watching the first episode of Grey's, drinking tea and nibbling on chocolate. Also considering looking to see if I do, indeed, have a copy of A Wrinkle in Time where I think I do.
I made a shirred eggs over sauteed kale for JZ last night. Your name was praised.
That makes me happy!

He was 48. So sad.
Aww, Gilbert Blythe.
Such a dreamboat.
RIP Gilbert Blythe
Oh, so sad. I always thought he was very good in that (and very attractive).
And it sounds like he was in good health, just a freakish thing. Such a shame.
I'm waiting for FedEx to deliver my new computer. I can't leave or take a shower until they show up.
My office is doing a recycling event for Earth Day, so today I've been preparing all the old electronics I have yet to take to Best Buy. I've got the dead desktop machine unplugged and ready for recycling. I have a bag of random cords and old keyboards and mice and an ancient KVM switch that I unearthed from a box under my bed. I just need the new desktop so I can create a boot disk to wipe my old Windows XP machine because the elderly beast is still running.
We have 5K-ed! And wow, did we ever earn those capes.
The 5K unexpectedly turned into a combination hike/mud run. Just this week (so, extremely late notice) the park where it was held told the organizers that the route had to go through a wooded trail for part of the 5K. Turns out it was at least half of the route, and it was QUITE a hike. Big hills. Very big hills. Also mud and puddles left over from this week's rain, as well as all the roots and fallen trees that one finds on a wooded hike. (The wooded part of the route was really pretty, though, so there's that.)
Tim and I finished in 1:10, but I am really happy with that, considering how fucking hard the route was. My original goal had been to finish in under an hour, but that was back when I thought the 5K would be a more-or-less flat, paved route.
Had we known ahead of time that it was steep hills through a muddy woods, I wouldn't have done it. But it was a nice day, and we had fun with our friends who walked it with us, and WE GOT CAPES!
I am beat, and we need to go to a family birthday party soon. Time to rally.
