"Never get a cat."
Jun. 16th, 2004 12:22 amHere's some observations.
1. To LA-area folks. Have you heard this radio commercial for Mike Diamond Plumbing? Where they promise the plumber will show up on time and smell good? And/or the commercial riffs on smelling various plumbers to make sure they're not stinky? Is this a thing, now? Are angry homeowners calling to complain about the way their visiting plumbers smell? I can't imagine ever, in any circumstance, calling anywhere to complain about the smell of another human being. Much less the smell of a human being who's snaking my septic tank. I am FLUMMOXED.
2. And Edith is losing her hair. She's patchy, a little, she has one patch near her tail, on her back, and one patch on her chest, and two little ones on the top of her head. The Internet seems to think it's stress-related compulsive grooming, and she DOES smack her head a lot with her feet. Should I be worried? Note: I cannot afford a vet at the moment, especially since the Water and Power people came and harangued me this morning for the THREE HUNDRED THIRTY DOLLARS I owe him, so the answer to the Edith question must be either a) "I'm sure she's fine," or b) "I'm a vet, here's what you should do for under ten bucks."
3. To Do: DS9 ficathon,Mary Sue novel (done, because I rock), Jed/Leo, Paris/Kim, wish there were Voyager seasons beyond S2 torrented somewhere. Meanwhile,
selenak comes home in two days. Be STILL MY NARN HEART!

By the way, in case you haven't noticed, we've effectively crashed the auction and Vir is now in the Med Lab (and broke). Your turn. ;)

Date: 2004-06-16 06:35 am (UTC)I need to coordinate with Na'Toth but we'll get Londo's ass back here just exactly in time for Selena's return. Which is to say, Wednesday the 16th, Pacific Time, at some point.
Now, do you have those caps for me? I'll totally spruce up your ghetto icons. *g*

Date: 2004-06-16 10:01 am (UTC)Er, tonight. *g* After I finish writing the wake-up post so it will be up for Se when she gets back.
Sorry, I was a little occupied with getting Vir knocked around. *g* Which reminds me: Say, do you think you guys could get the rumor spread around that Vir successfully KO'ed a technomage who was much bigger than him? Because Vir's not going to remember that part and I think it would be cute to confuse him. *g*
Oh, and also: Scolding Vir for going off on his own is a definite must. *g*
OOC about coordinate...
