OMG. It's Jackie Tyler in period dress playing a housekeeper.

I've seen everything now. Especially as she isn't a bleach blond.

Two worksafe photos that have made me happy this week....

That is all.

I just watched 4x03 of Criminal Minds, which means I'm totally up to date. The good thing about this is yay! I'm up to date! The bad thing is I automatically went to click onto the next one only to remember that there wasn't one there.

I have fallen so heavily for this show. It's like the new lover who buys you chocolates and presents and looks so damn good you just can't get out of bed without sliding a hand lower just one more time...

A couple of these were expected, but a couple of the careers completely surprised me. I was particularly interested in the overview of salaries at the beginning...although I started glazing over after about the first dozen numbers.

Top Ten Overpaid Careers

akukorax and I have adopted an adorable new kitty! Lookit:





Now we need a name for the little feller. So far, from one day's observation, we know that he is a Russian Blue (so maybe something Russian?), he was the runt and is adorably wee (so Behemoth is out), and he likes very much to snack on our toeses (also Korax and I are dorks, so maybe something dorky?).

Name our adorable new kitty!

Eeeee, kitteh! WE CAN HAS!

Before taking off this weekend, I tried to clean up the "home down south". I'm still finding spiders around the house, though not as large and freaky looking as the first dozen or so. While sweeping the kitchen, I managed to sweep up four spiders...but they were all about the size of a fingertip.

I think I'm getting ahead of them, but it's going to take persistence. Of course, nothing will turn you into a domestic deity like having arachnids threaten to take over your home.

The problem I have is the vaulted ceiling. While I attempted to vacuum the cobwebs from the angles of the ceiling, I can only get so far. I need some sort of massive extension that's about twenty feet long.

One of my classes was meeting Friday afternoons. We couldn't find any other time for all of us to meet. This sucked for two reasons: 1) Having class all in one day isn't real great for retention...especially Friday afternoon when I'm not as clear as I could be. 2) I couldn't leave to drive back to Fargo until 5 p.m., which puts me in the middle of traffic and means I'm driving a good part of the way in the dark. I have horrible depth perception in the dark.

One person dropped the class, and it turned out that we were able to change part of the meeting time to a different time in the week. This will help a lot, and it made me very happy.

I spent yesterday doing a bunch of fun stuff with the little guy. We baked cookies; made "stained glass windows" from leaves, crayon shavings, and wax paper; and made a little box out of "craft sticks" (i.e. popsicle sticks). While I'm sure this makes me sound like a caring Mom, I also let him run around without pants (though not underwear!) half the day (he, like most little boys, would prefer to be a nudist). I also made dinner from prepackaged food. So maybe this puts me at the same level of domestic goddesshood that Erma Bombeck occupied.

Mike works in two different buildings, and last night, I helped him move a signal generator from one building to the other. The little guy was with us and wanted to push buttons on the signal generator. We told him it was off and wouldn't do anything, so he could push one button.

"No, " he said. "It'll turn on by itself, and when I push the button, it will say, 'You've got email!'" I have no idea where he came up with that because we don't have AOL. :-)

Apples seem to have taken over my house. It is very strange, but it is New York state in October, I should not be this is surprised.
We seem to have acquired two apple pies made out of apples from my Grandmother's apple tree, actual apples, caramel apples, and apple cider. Not that I have problems with that, this is my favorite food-season. =)

Anyways, this weekend was homecoming weekend and our school lost 42 to 0. I can't really say I'm that surprised. Gah we suck so much XP. It makes me sort of sad really =). Hm... nothing of interest happening. Oh! Besides the fact that John Barrowman's new music video makes my life. Has everyone seen it? No? Here it is then:

What About Us?

Oh! AND. FOUR MORE DAYS UNTIL JOHN GREEN'S PAPER TOWNS. *EXCITEDISME*

I was introduced to peach schnapps and apple juice last night, and it was quite tasty, if a little sweet, and didn't seem to be that alcoholic. I didn't feel drunk, and as it was a clear spirit, I thought I'd be fine...

Oh dear God, no I wasn't.

Those of you who were with me during any of the sci-fi cons I attended between 2001 and 2005 know why I now only drink small amounts of vodka, and steer well clear of red wine, tequila, whisky and all the other things that usually left me lying on the bathroom floor and praying for death.

Peach schnapps just got added to the list.
