Sleep? What's that?

Sleep is overrated.

Ka-Whump.

Hi, Universe. Nice to see that I'm still loved/needed/necessary/useful.

Thanks for doing this on the weekend.

Happy New Year!

Whee, rooster!



The bird depicted in the icon is actually a hen, and does not belong to me. Her name is Amoral, and she looks like she earned her name.

Actual Trial Transcripts (evidently)

The Court: Next witness.
Ms. Olschner: Your Honor, at this time I would like to swat Mr. Buck in the head with his client's deposition.
The Court: You mean read it?
Ms. Olschner: No, sir. I mean to swat him [in] the head with it. Pursuant to Rule 32, I may use the deposition "for any purpose" and that is the purpose for which I want to use it.
The Court: Well, it does say that.
(Pause.)
The Court: There being no objection, you may proceed.
(Whereupon Ms. Olschner swatted Mr. Buck in the head with a deposition.)

Happy fun with Google:

Google now does backwards searches on white pages. Enter phone number! Get name and address (if listed) associated with same!

I found myself. I found FatherSir. I didn't find Sis or Darkside. I found an assortment of other people.

If having yourself google-able by your phone number is a privacy concern for you, Google your number, then fill out a Google phone book removal form with the name and number to be removed.


Thanks to wiseheron for pointing out the privacy concerns; thanks to drgnmstrslash for pointing out the feature.

Cooking Time

It's Wednesday night, day 2 of the three-day weekend, and I skipped out on writing group. Why? Because the tears of the Muses were in the air, and the Lillim were prowling around the perimeters looking for prey.

First I slept the night-terrors away, then I shopped, then I cooked. The fancy appliances are getting packed, packed, packed, so I made do with the big round silver pot for the rice, and boiled it soft, dumped in the mushroom soup, and fried a frozen hunk of hamburger to mix all together. Pepper, garlic salt, onion powder. There was far too much, so I scooped it out into freezer-bags for later. Cooking for bachelors.

There's enough for many days of work lunches, those days when I just have time to grab something out of the freezer and toss it in my lunch sack.

I fried the rest of the hamburger into crumbles with mushrooms and onions, and bagged those up and tossed them in the freezer as well. Bachelor cooking.

I need to do something to get my mind off life and stuff, so I won't run amok and kill something.
