We’re going to blog along from home again, and then add some amusing links. I’ll start off by saying, once again, that my dislike for the Weavers burns with the heat of a million little Sternos. Not suns, because suns are grand and big and all-encompassing, and Sternos are little and dinky and they burn with a kind of “meh” flame. Anyway, we start out in this order: Linzerfarts Eeyore and the Bransens Christine Gabbleski and the Gadzookski Sisters Evil Weavers, Weevils, Florida, Team Help Me Jebus, Yield Us, etc. Before we get started, I’ll predice ANOTHER non-elimination, because there’s…

My world is getting ready to change. I’m sitting in “mute” as a web-based conference is beginning to learn a completely new way of pricing records. The conference is designed as a fairly standard looking chat window with private message capability, and it’s got an integrated Power Point presentation window. The usual fol-de-rol at the beginning, along with lots of people unsure as to why they’re there, and later someone will put the entire conference on hold and we’ll have to listen to their hold music. Happens every time. And there we are, someone has put us on hold and…

Recently I felt the need to spill my guts about my complete lack of the “decoration gene.” I will, eventually, get around to putting up a Christmas tree and a few ornaments and seasonal oddments of seasonal decor that I’ve been given or collected over the years. I love how a really Christmassy shop or home looks, I just can’t be bothered to buy all the crap, store all the crap, put all the crap up, and take all the crap down. I define “really Christmassy” as “plenty of lights, pretty old ornaments in great abundance, beautifully arranged and tastefully…

Garlic is one of my favorite things. However, I need to remember what happens when I eat a lot of whole roast garlic. No, not emanations of evil like the ones I had after we ate at Stinking Rose, but close. It’s been a very, very, very productive day, let’s just say.

I’m currently listening to Harry Shearer’s Le Show. David doesn’t care for this show, but like it when I happen to hear it. I was in the mood for a little political commentary, satire, and humor after just seeing “Good Night, and Good Luck.” As we left the theater tonight, I remarked that cigarette smoke was like another character in the movie. After checking the official website for the movie, I see that cigarette smoke is about the only thing moving on the splash screen after the intro. And now ::yawn:: good night. Good luck too, I suppose.

Ho, hum, the monkeys were here yesterday for a while, but then they went away. For some reason, my monkeylady fed me again after my monkeyman had already given me my dinner. They took some food away with them, but didn’t bring any back when they returned hours later. I think they went somewhere and gobbled a lot of food and felt guilty and gave me extra. It must be some mysterious monkey holiday. Whatever. I’m going to take a nap. Via: Flickr Title: Riley Upside-Down Nap By: GinnyRED57Originally uploaded: 20 Nov ’05, 7.37pm PST Original description:

How long will we be afflicted with the Weaver pox, oh Lord?

Here’s our niece Melissa with David, just as we were getting ready to leave Aunt Norma’s house after Thanksgiving dinner. She’s doing really well in school and has made tremendous progress – her verbal skills have improved a HELL of a lot since last year. I’m very happy for her.

This frost pattern on the storm door at Norma’s looked like a mountain range as seen from space. A few minutes later, it had completely melted away because the inner door was left open.
