Grrrr! It’s the colour that exists and works. That’s what colour it is!

Tala till bönder på bönders språk, och till lärde män på latin.

I most certainly did need two pairs of jeans (wine and purple) like my green ones, because they were on sale for $14.99. The purple ones were regular $35, but the wine had gone up to $42 by the time I decided I wanted them. I think the wine are close to the Levis I […]

I didn’t like Unity when I first installed…whatever version of Ubuntu was first afflicted with it. Back then, I just switched to Gnome Classic with…something or other…and that was it. When I updated to 13.04, I decided to give Unity another try. At first, I hated it, but that’s not unusual when you change to […]

Up until this year, I’d seen exactly two Pipevine Swallowtails, neither of which was in my yard. This year, I’m practically shoving them out of the way, and they’re all nice and fresh, though I’ve grown nothing that would act as a host plant. Whence (hee!) are they coming?! If we actually get to move […]

Okay, so I went to Maurices yesterday for one T-shirt, and when they didn’t have the colour I wanted, I got two sweaters. I was browsing their site today as I watched the finale of The IT Crowd, and noticed that they were offering free two-day shipping if you paid with PayPal. I have my […]

Anyway, they were 40% off, […]

I thought the Hi Tatras hadn’t spawned for me this year, but I flushed this little dude out when I changed their water today. About 1/3 the size of an adult; would have hatched in late spring or early summer. Also, at least two of The Ancient Mariner’s speckled friends are still in there. I’d thought I was down to one, but those little buggers can hide like nobody’s business. Anyway, yay for Babby Tatra! <3

Jesus, if we get the keys to this house with our sanity intact, it’ll be a fucking miracle. Now to find out whether an honourable discharge and a general honourable discharge are the same as far as a VA loan is concerned. RD is out; we make too much money. FHA is already fine, but […]

I was after two wasps and a locust borer, but that stupid cat kept winding himself around my legs and the movement scared them off. I’ll settle for a pretty Painted Lady.
