The little old lady next door is moving and they’re bequeathing to us the feral kitties. I’ve been thinking for a while about getting them fixed–there are 5 or so of them now and I can’t afford it. I don’t want to call animal control and have them put down, but I still don’t want [...]

So, we’ve been planning to fix this crack in our foundation for ages. We’ve been looking for the part of the crack on the inside of the basement wall for ages. I’d given up and thought there wasn’t one. Well I found it today. It’s about 2 feet west of where we had been looking. [...]

We’re patching the crack in our foundation today. Also, I installed this shower head:
which has a pause button so that when you’re soaping up you can reduce the water to a trickle. I was looking for something to attach to my existing showerhead, but I couldn’t find it, so I got this instead.
So here’s [...]

I want a hat that looks like this:
It’s Lapp/Sami and I can find no traditional patterns for Sami clothing, much less for this hat. If anyone can help me find it, I’ll be greatly appreciative.

Well, my paper was kind of sucky, but it’s done, which means I’m done with all extracurricular (or is that extraworkular?) projects for at least two weeks. YAY! I can’t decide right now if I’m going to go out and weed the yard right now or take a nap.

My students, after a very poor episode of trying to be sneaky, gave me some presents. One of them was a pad of paper with an in depth checklist of “What You Need to Do to Make Me Happy.” I’m taking it everywhere with me. It says everything from “kiss me with tongue,” “Massage my [...]

So, I was thinking about getting a Civic Hybrid, but then I read the thread on SeaGoth about Biodiesel and I’m thinking that Biodiesel maybe a better idea. Does anybody know what are good diesel cars, what makes a car good for biodiesel and all that stuff? We’re also thinking that we may be [...]

And you’re saying, hey, I miss Sika, why hasn’t she called/visited/written me, well I’ve been wondering the same thing. Things are super busy right now, but will get significantly less so after Norwes. So now’s the time to start planning dates If you see this message, you’re one of the people [...]

So I know some of you have perfectly valid reasons for hating St Patty’s day, but I see it more as an opportunity to drink and listen to trad music. Therefore, I’d like to extend an invitation to come out with me for the above activities.
So far, there are votes for two different pubs, [...]

Rants (ish):
How come when I’m checking LJ fiendishly nobody ever updates, and then as soon as I don’t get online for 24 hours there’s a page and a half of updates?
How come nobody ever waves when you let them into your lane anymore? I’ve been paying attention, and only one person has waved when I [...]
