It's warm enough to put a 20" fan in the window and set the saw next to it. That'll take care of 94.57% of the dust.

Bleh. Too lazy to do anything about it. I have a headache. Maybe 25% of the room is done now, but it's a hard 25%, including the linen closet and the bathroom door. I should be able to cruise to the other end of the room and then finish off the closets tomorrow.

Dang. I wish my husband had had the same sense as you. He did all his cutting inside when he drywalled the basement a few years back. I was cleaning up dust for months.

I feel guilty for not volunteering somewhere today to serve meals. Then I am irritated at the notion that I think I have to. Just a minor irritation...I do this to myself...

I have a new next door neighbor. She has a little yappy dog which she left at home for Thanksgiving, which barked and cried the whole fucking day.

grrr.

Cough due to cold.

Black Friday, and the insistent pull from both media and real-life people telling me that we HAVE TO go shopping today and buy a whole bunch of crap we don't need because it's ON SALE!

Yes, I need to get a few Christmas gifts, but what's on sale is rarely what I want anyway.

So I was shopping on Amazon last night, found some decent deals, but then my ISP cut out. Probably too many people using the pipeline or something (doesn't cable do that sometimes? I'm so dumb about that stuff). And I was too tired to mess with it so I went to bed, and after re-setting the modem, I found that everything is about $5 higher now. Figures.

Also: kids who are too old for toys but too young for expensive electronics and don't know what they want in-between.

Also: having to come up with a list of my own. Usually if I want something, I just go buy it myself. Christmas means that if I see something I want, I have to WAIT for it. Damn, I'm spoiled.

I'm watching UP and it's really cute! but for some reason, there's no menu, and no captions. I'm addicted to captioning, so it's pissing me off.

Sundae · 11-30-2009, 01:09 PM

Sickly email from Mum.
Part of a chain, but I am only showing the verse.
Despite the fact they should be named and shamed.

Quote:

This poem is very sweet. It will be interesting to see who sends it back. Forward this on and back. Thanks!

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there.

Here is my response.
Battled with my conscience and only sent the reply to my Mum. Sharing it here with you instead. Please note the terrible rhyming is quite deliberate!

Quote:

If you would buy some wine
I'd drink it with a smile
As long as you don't whine
We'll be friends for a while.

Vodka would be fine
But I might reel about
Still, if you have the time
I'm sure you'd bail me out.

And if you get some whisky
You'd head off for your bed
And you might get quite frisky
But I'd sleep like the dead

I cannot build a mountain
Or cover it with grass
But silly rhyming emails
I can pull out of my arse.

If you forward to 10 people, a lucky pixie will pop out of your vaj and do your shopping for you.

That last line made me laugh out loud, Sundae.

Juniper · 11-30-2009, 01:21 PM

That's awesome, Sundae. Really awesome.

I'm tempted to do the same whenever I get those bits of fluff forwarded, too.

Did you rent it?

Clodfobble · 11-30-2009, 05:36 PM

Holy crap, Steve. Someone in Disney marketing is going to get demoted over that one...
