And a million fan girls faint… (link via Kris) Hey, Kris, you might want to check out the hi-res shots here. Dear, dear little Harry is not so little anymore.

Oh my, a BunnySutra swatch watch. Too cute. Zoom in to see the watch bands. The boy bunny is wearing tidy whitey underwear and the girl bunny is wearing a negligee. (Link via Eric.)

Happy Birthday to one of my oldest friends, Calhoun. Keep an eye out for a box in the mail.

Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ubuntu Studio! If we upgrade the server and I get one of the current big drives, this might be worth partitioning the drive and loading it! I have plain old Ubuntu and Windows running on my laptop, but my desktop hard drive gets full fast if I don’t move things to the server or burn them in a timely manner.

I’m cold. I had all of the windows open because I am trying to air out the house. Our outside water is chock full of those lovely minerals and we went and used it to mop the tile and grout and we got some build up on the tiles. So I spent today scrubbing the tiles with good ole vinegar and distilled water. It helped for the most part. So, the house has been smelling like rotten eggs. Yum. Can’t wait for Josh to smell it when he gets home.

While in the other room I watched the cat walk into the bathroom. This is very unusual for her. She doesn’t go in there unless someone else is in there and usually it is only long enough to realize she doesn’t want to be in there. After about thirty seconds, I realized she wasn’t coming back out, so I went in to see what she was doing. As a kitten she used to unravel the toilet paper roll, so I wondered if she was reliving something from her kittenhood.

She wasn’t. I walked in to find her sitting in the toilet. Yes, IN the toilet. She wasn’t doing anything, just sitting there kind of hanging out. I think she is losing her mind. Maybe she is telling me she wants to be potty trained correctly because the directions she’s getting of the internet must be really wrong.

So, after that, I rinsed her off (because the previous owner had a 2000 flushes inside and it turned into a sort of gel and sometimes actually does what it is supposed to). Then I made sure the lids to all of the toilet seats were down and decided I was too cold to keep all of the windows open.

I went on the patio to close the windows and I heard Native American drum beats. My first thought was.. “WTF?” but then I remembered that there was a Native American Pow Wow going on a couple blocks up. No, not in someone’s yard, but in the area behind the YMCA which corresponds to a couple of blocks away. It was just a little weird to hear at first.

Yes, she was in the toilet.

The parking lot for Home Depot is next to/joined with the Wal-Mart parking lot and while I was putting my Home Depot purchases in the trunk, a woman walked up to me speaking Spanish. I took one look at her and knew what was about to happen. “I don’t speak Spanish.” “Oh, I’m sorry. I’d like to give you something.” and out comes the pamphlets. I told her I am not interested and that she can keep them. So then I pull up into the driveway and get the groceries in the house. I’d say ten minutes pass when I hear the doorbell. It is the old people. Once before they have come to the house and I told them I wasn’t interested. Then others came and I told them I wasn’t interested. This time the lady tried to leave me some of the pamphlets (or magazines as they called them) and I informed her that she didn’t need to because I was really not interested. She informed me that she was sorry and wouldn’t bother me again. I said, “Thank you, that would be nice.”

I try to be pleasant, but when I tell you no, I mean no.

Off to clean the grout and replace the screen on the front door. My life can be so exciting sometimes

I uploaded some pictures yesterday. Some are of the tile, one unsealed, but grouted and one of the bloody tile removal, some are of my nephew and some hotwheels, some of the cat, and shot of a knit brain slug I made.

OK, so you can’t wait for the Apple iPhone to come out… well there is a good way to waste some of the color toner in your office’s color printer… Get your fix via the The iPhone Papercraft Model.

In other news, Josh has been mucking around with Jinzora on the server. We have too much music. We’re looking at upgrading. We’ll probably just do mirrored 500Gb drives for the time being. Now if only we could get him to post something on his site.

Wow. Boy was today a waste of my time. I had two labs today (labs meaning we practice what we learned in class). The first one just repeated what we covered in class (rather poorly I should add) and the second one lasted a whole 15 minutes. Grrr. Total the two labs together lasted less than the drive to school alone. Ugh.

At least I got home before the schools at the end of the street got out. I hate playing dodge the kids on Fridays.

I think I have discovered the best pet bed ever… It’s slipper shaped! I could make one for the cat.

Speaking of the cat. She’s trying to kick me out of my chair so she can sit in it. Rude!
