Quel excitement!

Well, not really. I was boring and dull and snappy Saturday until I napped off my mid-morning headache, and then Ali and I went to see Bad Company. Fun flick. I called Dad before and after the movie, to make sure he got the book I left in Kansas for him, and talk about the Pagosa Springs deal, but in all that, I completely forgot about Father's Day.

Yesterday I excavated my floor. I wanted to vacuum, so I transferred all the books on the floor to the top of my dresser, (Laurier's going to be pissed about loosing a napping spot.) moved papers to a single pile in the crate by the door, moved a few boxes and bins into Lori's closets (she has immense closets of Doom, unlike the rest of us poor saps.) and rediscovered the large open space in the center of my room. Yay floor! I also managed to cover the bed, but that subsequent excavation didn't require recovering the floor, which made me happy.

We hit Sam's Club sometime, the result of which is that I have hand sanitizer for work, batteries to send my brother, and little tins of cat food to reward my boys when they haven't been horrible.

Heh. I am much amused by theMary Sue Generator:
Name: Destiny Haviland
Eye Color: Changeable Azure
Signature Scent: Midnight Linen
Paranormal Power: Force Adept
Specialized Skill: Professional Athlete
Distinguishing Mark: Navel Ring
Newly Discovered Relationship: Obi-Wan's Girlfriend

snicker I can see her now, tall, with a mane of blonde hair so conveniently blown back by the nonexistent wind to keep it out of her face, eyes flashing because she's gotten blinking light contacts to draw attention to them, acres of tanned, muscled belly bared to show off the centerpiece, a jeweled belly ring that just happens to be her spare light-saber crystal. And, um... she plays... not golf, though that's good... Lacrosse. Yes. She's the highest paid professional lacrosse player in the galaxy. And she of course doesn't use her Force powers during games because that wouldn't be fair to the little people. Heh. Tower of virtue that she is.

Random Commentary

I have peas. And rhubarb. And mustard greens. What the hell do I do with mustard greens?

The Mary Sue Generator is so much fun; I think because you can have that brief moment of Mary-Sue-ness, but can really disclaim it all, since after all, it was just one of those random generators - you wouldn't come up with something so very awful on your own... And I'm having fun watching people come up with their own, and they're all so over the top!

I Am Ananse the Spider

Ananse the Spider of African folklore is both wise and foolish in the best tradition of tricksters. If you're like Ananse, you're clever and like to be thought well of, but sometimes you outsmart yourself. You're always trying to figure the best angle and you're intelligent and creative, but you have a crude streak. Still, you like to show off your knowledge and that makes you a good teacher..

Which Trickster are you?

Tricksters! EEeee! I'm having flashbacks to American Gods and... damn, I forget the title. Immortals running around, and Coyote's one of the eldest, a shapeshifter. Blast. I think I borrowed it from someone, which means staring at my shelves won't help.

Meg's promised to lend me Shelters of Stone. I was briefly tempted by it at Sam's on Sunday, but only briefly. I have to give it back before July, though. Two weeks? No problem.

I called Dad just out of work, and he was at a meeting with the airport board. Green light on the project so far - this is so exciting! I get my very own vacation home in Colorado, fully stocked with parents!
