Hooray for the new deck!
Time for a barbeque.

That’s the very cute neighbor cat checking out the new route to our cat’s food.

I’m not much into astrology, but Rob Brezsny’s column is always entertaining. One from a while back was so funny I had to take a clipping with me:

“GRAHHRR! RAHHR! RAHRIRAHHR! HRAHR! I’m not sugar, I’m love looking for sugar!”

Growling is fun.

First, we realized that the anaheim peppers are always WAY too spicy for a reason: someone decided to nestle them together in a basket with the habaneros. Which is insane.

Then one day the manager made off with my basket which was left unattended for four minutes. Criminy.

Then last night, we walk in and see this display.

The white one is a monkey.

A while back a friend and I were browsing through the OED and found an amusing word: popelican.

Later I happened to remember the word while I was out with M at the wwah, so I wrote it on a coaster for the amusement of everyone at the table.

Weeks passed, then M noticed the coaster again, at a different table — it must have migrated. It was definitely the coaster from before, except it had a few other words written under my “popelican:”

An excellent find.

A few days ago I started playing an rpg called Kingdom of Loathing. It’s my first such game, not much progress so far but it’s entertaining. In the game my name is OuchyBaby. Something my niece used to say.

M. says this game is a gateway to SCA, but I am not afraid.
