HELLO INTERNETS. I would ask if you've missed me horribly, but you probably didn't notice I was gone. (I wouldn't notice my absence either, frankly.)

I spent most of last week running around like a mad thing and preparing for my trip to Ohio to see [livejournal.com profile] imperfectkatoru. The trip itself was, as ever, a pleasant distraction with all the requisites (pizza, good sex, long conversations, slow stretches of I-75); I also got to see the house (and [livejournal.com profile] driley1, albeit briefly).

So now I'm back. Lolmom made ham and greens and cornbread and we're pretending to be from the South; this was an interesting culinary experiment, since we had no idea what to do with mustard greens and the like, but not destined to become one of our favorites. I'm not a fan of cooked vegetables, though I will eat some of them, and the texture is a real turn-off.

The plants proceed apace; I am impatiently waiting for the tomatoes to turn red so I can eat them. There are blossoms on the peppers, eggplant, and squash, and the dill is starting to grow blossoms.

Work has been work. You know, I'm actually kind of over work. Nobody's getting any hours and so I agreed to swap with a co-worker (I'm taking his long shift and he's taking my shorter evening shift, which he's welcome to even though the shift I'm taking for him is a crap shift). I could use a few more hours until I pick up something else.

There, now you're all caught up, isn't that 4W5UM?

Jaysus, I've got egg on my face, since I was thinking earlier, "Must remember to post."

Happy belated birthday, [livejournal.com profile] driley1!

+ Books are good food.
+ Tonight, somebody's (school-age) kid tore across the front end of the Lol-Mart in which I work, shrieking, "I HAVE DIARRHEA! I HAVE DIARRHEA!" in tones that betokened wonder and delight. I couldn't help but laugh because a.) I am twelve years old and would laugh at the word "diarrhea" if it appeared in a serious and reputable medical textbook and b.) my childhood was pretty fucked-up and bodily functions were considered an appropriate topic of dinner-table conversation. X-chan and I were probably the only kids in America routinely threatened with scurvy and rickets to get us to eat our vegetables. Anyway, I think I'm going to try to get "I have diarrhea!" to catch on, since for the most part "istennoing one's feet" and "Tom Cruise knows the history of psychiatry!" hasn't. Use "I have diarrhea!" to express inappropriate enthusiasm today!

(For the uninitiated, which would be more or less everyone who isn't [livejournal.com profile] driley1 and [livejournal.com profile] imperfectkatoru, X-chan and I have this rule that if we're arguing, and someone says, "Tom Cruise knows the history of psychiatry!", that person automatically wins, because there is no rational reply that can be made to that statement. Unfortunately, since this rule of civilized rhetoric was adopted, X-chan has become a lot quicker on the Tom Cruise draw than I am, which means she wins a lot of arguments by default. Fortunately, we never argue about anything really serious.)
+ I lose at writing pr0n.
+ For some reason I got spam encouraging me to confine the man or men in my life to some sort of male chastity cage (go on, say it, get all the comments out of your systems), which caused me to cross my legs just thinking about it and is certainly not something I'd do to anybody I cared about. Apparently there's a market for that sort of thing. Apparently there's money to be made. If I could somehow combine sex toys and chastity devices with MLMs, I'd be sitting on a goldmine of passive income.
+ GoodReads totally has my number, because the other day I managed to pull up a stack of Stephen Turnbull books I haven't read AND an ad with a cute girl in her underwear. Let's just say that was a red-letter day.
+ A couple-three days ago, I got to yap at [livejournal.com profile] aeromancy on AIM for the first time ever. It was v. cool at least from my own end. WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU TOO???

Happy birthday, [livejournal.com profile] driley1!

[NB: I am not back yet. I do not know when I might feel like being back. Comments and non-birthday/non-announcement posts will be extremely dilatory for the foreseeable future. I might write, but I make no promises.

I hasten to assure you that I still enjoy activities such as "reading", "looking for work", and "watching samurai movies", also "thinking about samurai". Everything else is more or less on the back burner until samurai aren't getting me through the day anymore.

l33 out.]

So, the Christmas haul:

Under a cut, so you don't have to endure my blatant materialism )

Callice received a new catnip toy, which she played with for all of five minutes before she decided that it would be more fun to go gnaw on the curly ribbon on the packages. We wound up tying curly ribbon to the catnip toy (which entailed touching cat slobber), and she was mellow for all of twenty minutes. Seriously, I do not understand why some people sentimentalize their cats.

Happy holidays, you lot. ♥
