I like this monkey

mood: amused

This monkey is not defending its territory. It's doing it for the sheer joy and humor of picking on these tiger cubs. Hilarity!

Jobs worse than yours

music: Chicago
mood: busy

I got a courtesy call from GoDaddy.com after I renewed one of my domains. I started thinking about it today. These poor schlubs probably have to talk to the people who own dirty websites too. How would you like to have to give a courtesy call to someone who owns something like goatwhores.org?

No, I'm not going to check and see if there is really a goatwhores.org.

Fundies are fundies are fundies

music: TV
mood: sigh

ABC news just ran a story on the Atheist group that went to the Supreme Court to take on Bush's faith-based initiatives. A few of these folks bother me as much as non-secular fundamentalists. I'm too ill right now to expound upon this so I'll have to revisit it later.

This nagging background illness that I've been incubating for about a month now came to head today. My whole body aches and I've got constant nausea. Also, that irritating weepy thing. Dan is at the store right now to get chicken soup, orange juice, Sprite, and ibuprofen.

Braaaaains.

music: TV
mood: weirded out

I had the CRAZIEST dream last night. The world was experiencing a zombie crisis. I was one of a few survivors taking refuge in some house. The zombies were actually scraping at the doors and windows and going, "braaaaiiinnns....braaaaaaaaains!" Then Iceman from Top Gun showed up to rescue us in a helicopter and one of the wheels got caught in one of those strings of flags like what happened to the Delorean in Back To The Future II. Right before I woke up I got bitten by a zombie dog and was about to turn into a zombie.

Okaaayyyy....

Yarn fever

music: old Metallica
mood: whee

The office is closing in half an hour. It will probably take a good 1.5 - 2 hours for us to get home.

I'm kicking myself for not buying more yarn the other day. I've got a hankering to start on my next quick project, which is going to be legwarmers that actually fit over my mammoth calves. I bought cute ones with skulls the other day and the skulls get all stretchy and distorted on my crazy legs. The idea is to HIDE my freakish anatomy, not enhance it.

I started working on an afghan last night in earnest. I started off with a pattern but no matter what I can't get the scale right. I just don't have enough crochet hooks to find the right size. I said screw it and just started off with a chain that is as long enough. I've got two colors and I'm probably going to do 2 rows of sc, 1 row dc, 2 more sc, then switch colors and keep repeating that all the way down. So far so good. I got my first color block done last night, which is why I'm so tired today. I planned to go to bed around 9:00 because I wasn't feeling great but I ended up crocheting until 11:00. I was crocheting like the wind though.

I've got some leftover chunky yarn from my hat that will probably have to become my legwarmers. They'll be cozy!
