Colourized!

Now Gren and Bob are in colour! Hurray for shenlo!

I didn't have a very good time at the club's special event, but then I never do at these things. There's always too many people and not enough dances that I know, and I mostly just get overwhelmed by all the people.

I did win a $25 gift certificate to a restaurant in the gay village, so that's nice. The NQG was there, but she was DJing so we barely exchanged three words. She asked me to dance with a friend of hers for the salsa lesson, but he was a lousy dancer as well as shy and he very quickly backed into a corner and wouldn't be coaxed out again. I didn't really have the energy to do much coaxing, anyway.

Well, I'm not sorry I went. It's important to support my friends in their endeavours. I just rather wish I'd been able to sleep instead.

Tomorrow I shall make a point of taking a nap. That'll help.

Iconage!

I just noticed that LJ gave me 33 new icon slots to play with!

I quickly resurrected 10 of my old favourites. Expect more GIPs over the next little while.

WHEEEEEEEEEE!

Another open letter

Dear Spammers,

I don't own a house. I don't really own anything large of value. You are wasting your time by offering me "gr8 0pp0rtun1t13s on mortgages! LOW RATESSS!!!11!1!"

I don't want or need your offers, nor, if I were enough of a sucker to fall for your spammy efforts, would I even be eligible. Please stop wasting both our time. In fact, stop wasting my time, it is infinitely more valuable than yours.

No love,

Me

In which life reveals itself to be awesome

"Dear diary,

Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Today we were kidnapped by hillfolk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."


Okay, not quite, but yeah. :)

Rolled out of bed in time to have tea and a slice of cold pizza with ai731 and baronscartop, and off we went to help miseri move into his new place.

Met up with sorceror, joenotcharles and sandman7, and we all trooped back and forth with furniture and various odds and ends. Gamer jokes abounded, people caught up with others whom we hadn't seen in a long time, and did all the things geeks do when they get together for whatever reason.

Fun was had. We went out for a snack after, and more fun was had before we all went our separate ways. The weather was gorgeous (not too hot, too, which was a plus) which helped considerably.

Did some grocery shopping after that, along with ai731 and baronscartop, and then I continued my Crusade for Cleanliness in the apartment, which had been abandoned temporarily after a pretty good start about a week ago. My front living room is now, well, tidy I guess is a good word for it. The dining area is halfway to being tidy as well.

With any luck, I'll have finished the tidying part of this whole Crusade for Cleanliness by the end of the week, and so this weekend I'll be able to actually get on my hands and knees and scrub the place to within an inch of its life.

In related news the feline forces of entropy seem to have gained an uncanny insight into my behavioural patterns. They sensed that I was going to clean today, and so left a large puddle of cat pee hidden beneath a piece of furniture. So, when I moved said piece of furniture, I accidentally stepped in the puddle and slipped and fell into the puddle of cat pee. Let me tell you, I was less than impressed.

I love my cats. I love my cats. I love my cats. Today, there was swearing and serious contemplation of turning them into cat-shaped bath mats. I love my cats. I will feel regret that they are dead after I've skinned them. Truly.

Afterward, though, I went down to visit with ai731 and baronscartop and they rewarded me with sangria. t!'s sangria packs a punch, let me tell you (no pun intended), and it made me all wobbly and giggly. 'Twas fun. Then there were sausages on the barbecue, and more sangria, and we ate outside and talked about food and parents and politics and gaming and trips to the hospital and religion and Sesame Street.

My conclusion? Life is pretty damned awesome.
