Crikey -- good thing I checked my email, because I would have thought that when I didn't hear anything back from my boss yesterday about some stuff I sent her that was supposed to be submitted today, that meant it was OK. Apparently it meant she didn't look at it. Good times.
'The Message'
Natter 65: Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Minimal Star Wars Galaxy Posters
These are different from the minimalist Star Wars stuff I posted a while ago....
I would love to join Costco -- the amount of money we spend on pet food and cat litter alone is appalling -- but The Boy prefers to do all his shopping at the local, independently owned grocer, to support local merchants.
I admire that, but DAMN pet food is expensive.
Mmm. Drinking Ting. Not going to make a habit of it, since it's ridiculously expensive for these wee bottles (in Jamaica they sell it in huge bottles! And they call it a third world country!)
Are my hands ridiculously delicate or do many people have difficulty with those twist off caps that look like beer caps? I can't take them off barehanded. Ouchies. I need thick fabric between me and the cap.

Yeah, I generally use something in between my oh-so delicate hand and a bottle top. Napkin, shirt, something.
DAMN pet food is expensive
Last night, I had to get more cat food, and I decided to get the bigger bag of the expensive stuff for the first time (I've been getting the 5-lb. bags since switching over to this brand just because it's so pricey). Twelve pounds of kibble for $36--ouch!!

Same here.
And, now lunch is over and I have my afternoon stretch to teach. But, 3 more classes and I'm done for the day and it's Friday! Oh hell yeah.
Ok, so Giant Copper Chinese Tank-riding Evil Baby of Death is not blocked from work, however Puppy Bowl lineup is. Okaaaaaay.
Random things
1) I have now tried mochi balls. I am unsure about the texture and consistancy, but I like the flavor and the smell. This has lead to a half eaten one sitting on my desk that I sniff every 10 minutes.
2) Feeling much better today, only now company had layoffs and a mandatory meeting at noon (way to make it really suck company!) Boo.
3) Boss brought in brownies, so there's that.
I got an email from my local PBS station about their counter-Super Bowl broadcasting. Which includes an Audrey Hepburn biopic and some historical 19th century drama that isn't Jane Austen but might as well be. I was amused.
