(no subject)

i'm tucked in a corner of the couch because i accidentally destroyed the long phone cord in the living room. (dialup, no wireless. the fact that there's a laptop in the house is pretty amazing)

earlier this week i was online and the phone rings in the middle of a download. so somehow the connection broke and i'm thinking it's important, so i pull the cord and get up and get on the phone. it's a freaking telemarketer, and suddenly the connection goes bad. i get off the phone and discover that the end of the phone cord has fallen into the tomato sauce of my tortilla pizza and is smoking and sizzling. so now the former 20ft cord is only 2ft. i'm on the laptop to be snuggly on the couch with C, but in order to connect i have to face the wall. perhaps i should switch machines.

i uploaded two new user pics, and made some for C's Warmachine list. a wet kiss to anyone who knows where the new ones came from ;)

i now weigh less than my IQ.

the diet is succeeding, despite the influence of Satan ;)

we had dinner at the grown ups' table on Friday, even if we did make the lounge singer do Bohemian Rhapsody. he was quite game, i nearly cried with laughter, and i think he got five bucks' tip from everyone at the table. the food was good too.

Saturday was super-loungey, slept in, got groceries & videos. i watched stuff C would never sit through while he wrote - ( Far From Heaven )

( and The Business of Fancydancing )

finally saw Alien on the big screen, and met raevnos in the process.
today was about dim sum brunch, tasty and "gelatinous, " winetasting, peacocks, and doughnut temptation. we got some vitamins and muffin mix on the way home, and then slept until five or so. i may be staying home from work tomorrow, depending. can't breathe through my nose anymore, even with drugs.
i'm reading this nifty little book called The Fox Woman more magic realism than fantasy about a kitsune in love with the man who owns the estate she grew up on. seems to be just post-Genji in setting...layered silk robes, animals, poetry, sex. good so far. i'm thinking it would make great bunraku or maybe noh, with a kyogen as brother fox and a great dance for our heroine's journey to get a human skull so that she can work her transformation from fox to human. yeah.

Dunkin' Donuts. You know you want one.
