Apologies.

On that note, I'd like to apologize to Native Americans everywhere for all the bad things my Irish ancestors may have done to my Native American ancestors. I'd also like to apologize for anything unpleasant my Viking ancestors may have inflicted upon my Irish ancestors. It was terribly insensitive of them.
And now if everyone will pardon me, I'm going to go sue myself for the sins of my forefathers.

EDIT: For anyone who cares, the other driver was found at fault and their insurance covered my totaled vehicle without hassle. Insurance also covered the medical, apparently nothing worse than a broken wrist and general sprains. Oddly enough they left me with the carcass rather than salvaging it so I donated it to a local pet rescue through DonateACar.com. I miss the versatility of a truck, but my new car gets me around, and more economically to boot.

Jan. 1st, 2007 05:03 amAnd so another year endeth, with the traditional countdown courtesy of time.gov and Auld Lang Syne at ready on midi (watching the ball drop at Times Square is like so 1900s). The champage cork hit the ceiling fan and gave us an unexpected shower of confetti-like dust to add to the festivities.
Happy whatever, losers.

Random flashback
May. 20th, 2006 06:40 amWhen I first moved to DC I rented the upstairs floor of a vintage house, with nothing but a sleeping bag to sleep on and a 10 year old girl's misplaced tombstone for a headboard. Cranes were on their "Loved" tour around this time, which I caught at the 9:30 Club; after the show I got a hug from Alison (she's really sweet, even if she still unnerves me somewhat) and chatted with her and Jim for a while. To this day, "Shining Road" still summons the smell of decaying granite and wood.

Apr. 4th, 2006 12:51 amWhenever I meet a beautiful girl and ask her, "Please come with me, do," and she walks on without word, her drift is:
"You are no duke with a soaring name, no four-square American with an Indian's stature, with level eyes, with a skin massaged by the air of grasslands and the rivers flowing beneath them; you have never traveled to or on the great seas, which are goodness knows where. So please tell me, why should a beautiful girl like me go with you?"
"You are forgetting that no automobile carries you through the streets, rocking in long sweeps. I see no retinue of gentlemen, pressed into their clothes, blessing you in murmurs, walking behind you in a precise semicircle; your breasts are snugly laced in your corset, but your thighs and hips make up for that abstinence; you are wearing a pleated taffeta dress, the kind that certainly delighted us all last autumn, and yet from time to time you smile--that mortal danger emanating from your body."
"Well, we are both right, and rather than having it dawn on us irrefutably, don't you think that each of us should really go home alone?"
And what's up with the Kafka quotes whenever I catch a cold anyway?

My dearest colleagues,
If you have spend your day browsing pr0n instead of hacking out code, please at least have the courtesy of lifting the seat before using the building's facilities to relieve your...tension. It might also be advisable to wait until after business hours when there's less chance of others occupying the same room as you pant and tug. (Yeah, I was in the stall next to him. Took me a minute to realize he wasn't just peeing in there.)

On a brighter note, the Oak Room charrs up some nice mutilated cattle. Just avoid the coffee. :)

Feb. 10th, 2006 10:16 pmWot the hell, I'll play along:
1. You comment here. I choose two or more of your interests and make peekchoor using whatever means I damn well please.
2. You no get to choose what interests! You no get to choose what method I use for my bad doodles! You will take it and like it!
3. You shall virally infect your own journal with similaritude, including whatever drawings have been done for you through these meme, or Bob the wino shall follow ten feet behind you wherever you go to the end of your days. He shall also mutter.
Achtung! Aviso! Caution! I have images from others to post now!

(Yeah, yeah, so it's just a Merc mod.)

Greenies, holidays, and memes omnibus.
Dec. 19th, 2005 08:16 pmSome time back I'd discovered Greenies, a treat intended to help keep dogs' teeth clean, and which Kinley absolutely loves. More on this in a minute. Lately she's been having a few gastrointestinal issues I won't detail here--not chronic, but frequent enough to make me worried. I've had her to the vet a couple times already for it and we've been trying a few different things to try narrowing down the cause. Her most recent vomit had a couple chunks of some green, rubbery substance I couldn't identify at first, though from my introductory statement it's probably fairly obvious what my current suspicions are. Somewhere amidst ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
saintingie's last multi-hour babble on the phone she mentioned that there've been complaints of intestinal blockages in dogs due to Greenies...and sure enough, after some hunting around I found one or more sources with more info.
I believe I'll be retracting my prior recommendations for Greenies. Thanks for the heads-up, Ingie-Sue.
( Then some blather about the whole seasonal mess. )
( And another of those lovely memes, cut tagged for easy ignoral. )

Hey cool, looks like even us cheap-ass LJ moochers get another three icon slots to fill. Hafta work on those...
