looking up the good old stuff

I nominated this lovely post about tea by bravecows to the lj_turns10 project. It closes out on the 25th and people are nominating all their own stuff, most of which looks terrible. I think bravecows actually deserves the recognition. I hope my nomination doesn't get lost in the shuffle!

I also wanted to nominate daegaer's post about homosexuality and the Bible. Um, daegaer? I only have until tomorrow, and I haven't heard from you. You can say no if you want! I don't think it will lead to people actually poking around your LJ because it will be printed. Actually looking up a link from a book is too much trouble for most people. :)

So, some exercises done (okay, not much at all, but the new sheet says to do them every other day, so some yesterday and some today maybe evens out?), and fresh cornbread made, and dishes mostly washed (except for those created in the cooking of breakfast and making of cornbread). Accomplished? Close enough. Time to go to work. Supposedly I'll be in baggage, today, and maybe get more exercise.

better to be pissed off than pissed on

So, I had this little calendar book which I was keeping in my back pocket at work, and I would take it out and look at my engagements and time off like Gollum polishing his precious (England! Visiting littleredhead and groundctrl!), but every now and then it would leap out of my back pocket because it was a tiny bit too large. Well, guess where it decided to leap, today? Yeah. Into the toilet.

I phoned Eor to tell him I would be a little late getting home because I was going to Staples to get another after work, and had to admit to what had happened to it. "What a pissah!" he said. (Which, if you speak Boston, means pretty much the opposite, 'superb' is the translation given here - but it was too good a pun to pass up. :))

Luckily, Alice had a little date book given out by the Post Office which she hadn't even started to use as yet, and it even fit in my front pocket, so no more leaping out! :)
