I'm going to get my passport renewed today. It could be fun. They may not let my husband in to the Canadian High Commission with me. They do strange things here. ----- The medication I'm on for my ear infection is giving me nasty side effects. I was supposed to go sightseeing with my sister and her family yesterday, but couldn't because of the side effects. I won't gross you out with details. ----- I was told two days ago that I have 1 1/2 hours at District Conference - LDS church leadership meetings - to talk to the leaders about family history. Now I have to figure out what to say to them. It's this Saturday.
Given other threads here, I may talk about sensitivity to other people's beliefs. Actually, I know I will. It obviously needs to be stressed in the world at large given the reactions that exist in that 24 page thread that I still haven't finished reading. Other than that, I'm not sure. I think I need to let the ideas formulate.

I'm having trouble making my handout for my Roman Agriculture article presentation tomorrow. I want it to be edu-tainment, but I'm not quite there yet. I really wanted to sleep tonight, too, since I won't be sleeping much on Tuesday (my 21st birthday )

We've had squid that was as long as my arm. And prawns that were longer than my hand - and I've got big hands.

Anytime the Apple tech wants to come by and pick up my tower so I can go to the grocery store and maybe see H2G2, that'd be just fine...

Wow, going from a 17" LCD to a 15" CRT really sucks. And I've forgotten what I wanted to get at the grocery store, so instead of going out I think I'm going to stay here and play video games until I remember what I was going to get.
Also, I created the world's most deformed pancake today. That's what I get for making a pancake too big for my flipping device in a pan unsuitable for pancake-tossing. In my defence, it was my first ever attempt at pancake creation. The next two were much better (but the recipie claimed it could make six, so I guess I just like big pancakes).

I just cleaned the toilet and sink in my bathroom. It was soooo gross! But at least they somewhat resemble white now.

Twinky: Were they fluffy breakfast pancakes or the thinner savory ones?

Writing insults and cruel characters is something I'd really like to be able to do a little better. It's always such a challenge for me to write nasty dialogue. It takes eighteen revisions before it's even close to being evil enough!

Well, the first one was sort of a blob. It looked kind of like an omlet. But the others were the fluffy breakfast pancakes.
Also: This loaner computer's lack of FireWire ports is going to make me sad. I have 120MB disk backups of survival essentials, but I was secretly hoping to have access to the 2+GB of documents I have backed up on my iPod...

I think the argument "sex is a hunger, and it's healthy to feed it" can be taken to silly levels. People can have all sorts of hungers, many of which are natural, and yet can be dangerous to others and themselves.

A friend of mine buaght tow identical small fish and named them Romulus and Remus. He could't tell them apart, so he decided that whichever died first would be Remus. Posts: 1332 | Registered: Apr 2005

Sigh. It's finals week, my roommates are crazy-studying and I just don't care anymore. I'm bored.

Yeah, I'm gonna hafta watch it again if I have any hope of remembering it. But wisps of it came back last night in a hazy daydream of sorts.

I got my new passport. I was expecting to get one of those fancy dancy new passports that are machine readable and have the pictures printed onto the paper, but I guess they don't do that through the High Commissions. I got the old style, photo glued in, laminate over top, not machine readable.
As long as it's still valid, I guess...

We finished season four of CSI last night. Today, we move on to CSI: Miami, seasons 1 and 2. Hopefully, by the time we're done those, we'll have season five of CSI the original, or CSI: New York, or more CSI: Miami, or something. Cuz we need our fix.

I need to learn how to have fun with writing again.

I spent most of the day getting poked, prodded, x-rayed and otherwise examined by doctors trying to figure out why I am having such a hard time breathing when the pneumonia is clearly out of my lungs.
There are some blood-pullers that need to experience the torture they mete out.

I have become frighteningly nonproductive at my job. I'm starting to be seriously afraid that they'll find out and fire me.

I found a piece of metal buried two feet underground in my backyard. At first I thought it was a shuriken, but upon closer inspection I found that it was an oriental madallion. I found someone at church a bit ago who was able to identify the language of the inscriptions as chinease.

Today I was thinking of a name for a blog and I was thinking "horses mouth" might be good but it was taken, so I looked into "horses lips" and it turns out it takes me to "Horse Slips" . Okay, it's not quite as funny as the picture you probably got in your head when you first saw that phrase.

"Incorporating modern design and application techniques, Horse-slips™ are an exciting new development representing the future of equine hoof care."
Am I the only one that laughed? Okay, maybe horses are important to some people. *shrug*

I was thinking more along the lines of bird diapers. Horse slips. Animal underwear in general. But I when I saw the website I did think of some of James Herriot's ferrier stories and also King of the Wind and The Horse and his Boy. I used to draw horses a lot. Before I moved on to Centaurs.

I'm wondering what kind of language chinease is. I mean, I've heard of Chinese, but chinease? Is it like sign language but with a chin instead?

Select a simple "smile" smiley on Yahoo!Messenger. It looks like one of its eyes is lower than on the normal smiley, while the other one's ok and keeps blinking from time to time.
This is a simple smile, btw: Posts: 4519 | Registered: Sep 2003

It's the simplified form of Mandarin...
