Peeved

Posted in 14 pounds of feline, fretting on October 19, 2006 | 3 Comments »

I’m really upset about one of the courses I’m taking this semester.  It’s only a two credit course, so it is scheduled to end November 3, while I’m in Africa.  Which, fine.  I knew that going into the matter, and I planned accordingly.  I shall be lugging Winnie Laptop to Africa, not a problem (make [...]

Settling

Posted in 14 pounds of feline, fretting, i like stuff, memes, the boy on October 16, 2006 | 1 Comment »

I’m almost completely moved…  just need to get the martini glasses, the vermouth, and the frozen goods from my old place.  Oh, and the kitty litter box.  Ew.
Yesterday my father and brother were to come with a large van and move all my furniture, then take away some other furniture that my brother needs for [...]

I’m a very tactile person.  For this reason I like things like nice sheets, angora sweaters, kittens, fancy linen paper, and those fluffy grey Siberian hamsters.  However, one should really only have so many of these things (for me, sheets=6 sets; angora sweaters=3; kittens=none, but the fur behind Geoffrey’s ears is still kitteny-soft; over-priced paper=umm, several [...]

Who is this girl?

I just caught myself thinking, “If I got fired and knocked up, there would be no reason at all for me not to sit around knitting all day.  That would be great!”
Fired and knocked up are two things I don’t intend to be for a very long, long time.  Like possibly ever.

A few weeks ago my office announced a wee marketing campaign that they hoped to foist upon the masses in the form of a contest.  The idea is to call our members who have attended our annual conference in past year or so but haven’t signed up for this year’s, and then harass them into [...]

Rebuttal

Well, honestly, now I feel compelled to respond to Neil’s comment yesterday.  There are many reasons I would go to so much trouble for a fish.  Many.

I am more than a little neurotic.
I do not want to come in to work and have to deal with a dead fish.
I get incredibly upset when I think about [...]

Things are not going well here at Chez My Cubicle. It appears that the fish, he may be ill. I noticed him looking a little plump last week, so I cut back on the food a bit. And by “a bit,” I mean “a great deal.” He obviously didn’t get to eat all weekend, and [...]

Obligatory Tribute to Autumn

Posted in fretting, i like stuff on October 3, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

The high today is 80.  I worry about the weather here.  I’m pretty damn flighty and neurotic, but seriously. 
Despite all the back and forth and ups and downs, autumn is definitely settling in nicely here in DC.  Which means..  a lot of things, really.
Good bye, Rose.  Hello, Port!
