At least it isn't a billion degrees out anymore...

Dear Brain,

There is nothing to panic about. Trust me. No reason to panic whatsoever. Please shut off the sirens and quit hitting the shiny red button all night long. It got old a long time ago. I miss sleeping.

Still no love,

Me.



In other news, I finally got the car organized. All filters changed, oil changed, all fluids otherwise checked and organized. Oh, and new brakes. Apparently I needed brakes. Handy things, those, for when you want to stop. Needless to say, that was a bit of a wallop, financially speaking. On the plus side, if anyone now wants to take the car off my hands, I can tell them that it just passed inspection and has new brakes.

Yowch.


More random news you need: I have to get poor Smudge shaved, I think. Or at the very least a serious trim. He's become Clumpy!Cat with all the humidity, and no amount of brushing or grooming has helped. I'm not looking forward to taking him anywhere, because he hates the carrier with the burning hatred of a thousand fiery suns, and screams and squalls and throws himself around and generally carries on like a wounded tiger. For a six-pound cat, he's definitely a handful. Still, this needs to be done. I don't think I could do it myself, even if one could shave a cat with plain old electric clippers (which I don't have). I think he'd protest, to put it mildly.


Yet more randomness: Can someone explain how tags work to me? I'm intrigued by this new feature, but I'm not sure how to use it, nor what to use it for. ladytabitha, maybe, if you have a moment? You seem to be all over this like flies on honey. :)


This icon was nicked, with permission, from worldmage. I really want to see The Dark Crystal again, now.

OOooooo, The Dark Crystal. Man, that was a phun movie. That would be sweet to watch again.

Yay, flies!

What it is, is, go to the web update page:

http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml

Type in an entry about dancing.  In the Tags section, type dancing.  Post the entry.

When you go to your journal, you'll see mood/music/tags.  'dancing' is a link - when you click on the link, you see all your entries that you've tagged as 'dancing'.

It only shows the last 100 entries, much like skipping back only shows so much before it reverts to showing each day.  It remains SO COOL.

Very cool.

Sadly, it also means that if I want to use them I'll have to actually change my LJ style, since I've been hanging onto S1 with my fingernails forever. ;)

Oh well. I guess my LJ could use a new look.

I do have clippers if you wish to take that particular walk on the dark side.

Come and rest in the tranquillity of doe and the rest of my wild family. Maybe it'll make the sirens go away for awhile. Big hugs!

If you want help when you do take Smudge to the groomers (or whatever they're called), give me a shout.

Love the icon. I really, really do.

I say that frequently in your LJ, don't I.

[mousme.livejournal.com]

Heh. Thank you. I rather like it myself, which is why I asked worldmage for its use.

I'm really quite pleased that you like my icons. I enjoy making them, and so it's always nice to hear that I'm not the only one to derive pleasure from them. :)

We have a tiny cat that goes beserk if put into a cat carrier, so now we put her in an old pillowcase with a drawstring first. She's *much* calmer if she can't see the bars of her cage.
