I need motivation to finish my grade reports! I was grounded by a fever the day before they were all due and I was super behind in the first place. So, needless to say, I'm cramming. This...coupled with my verbose English teacher comments...is making for a hellish night. Oh the humanity!

SMH. I really need to start throwing things out. I've found payslips from 13 years ago.

My mom does move management, mostly for seniors who are moving out of their homes and into assisted living. She packed a man who'd saved every paystub he'd received in his entire career, so there were paystubs dating back to the early 50's, all filed neatly in boxes. He wasn't a hoarder or anything, just very... thorough. Also every tax return he'd ever filed.

Ack, another weekend of doing nothing useful.

Think what I need is to invite a lot of people to a party at my house in a few weeks time and say people can sleep over, that'll motivate me to sort rooms out!

That sounds like so much fun! ukelele party!

The raspberry blackout cake went well. It didn't raise as much as I expected, so I only got one layer, and covered it with the ganache from the sacher torte, which is the trickiest thing ever and you just need one minute too little or one minute too much to screw it up. I was one minute too little, so it spread, but remained sticky. It was appreciated anyway, even by the parents, and meeting them for the first time went all right actually.
And eveyone loved my guacamole and the soft polenta, so overall the party was a success!

Now I'm dead tired and have no skin on my fingers (went bouldering), but I'm having a beer and cashews while my bf is also internetting next to me, this is quite nice actually :)

This is kind of disgusting but I was eating mashed potatoes and gravy today and kept getting taters stuck under my splint. They're out now after some creative swishing but... UGH

I want some so delicious ice cream. Thinkin' real hard about it.

I just went from being really hungry after reading Anek's post to being very not hungry after reading GCZ's post.

It was pretty grody! The day this splint's removed there will be much rejoicing and tofu scramble.

Molly has a wee new wing feather peeping out. Going to need to do the snippy snip soon.

Why won't she just behave? Then I don't have to feel guilty for removing her ability to fly? It's not like I'm asking her to not do bird things--the tiel does bird things all over the house, often inconvenient, but we deal with it so she can do happy bird things.

Molly turns into a total crasshole when she can fly. She goes on a massive ego power trip, like Napoleon, and wants to wage war on entire continents, only without the cold Russian winters to slow her down.

I made the AFR lasagna which is pretty much the only food I actually cook ever. And it's going to be delicious because it always is.

Ugh, I had beers and texted ye old crush and he was a little stand off-ish so I said that he seemed like he didn't want to hang out anymore and if that's the case then I'm sorry for bothering him and of course he hasn't texted me back because who WOULD and ugh.

Except he doesn't and he's been so rude, really, so why not call him out on it?

I bought some Woodchuck Winter cider tonight and it's either still sitting in my friends car or I left it at the store. I really hope it's in my friends car.

If it's not just tell the store you forgot it, they'll quite probably be nice and give you another.

My big problem is getting there. I'd have to walk to the store (and it's snow/freezing cold). But fear not! My friend showed up at my door with my beer in hand.

I want to learn to dance like this cat:

It's so cold at work right now. My hands are freezing. Tomorrow I'm bringing fingerless gloves.

I just realized it's going to look really weird that I logged my weekly quiz for my psych class at 4am.
stupid electronic stuff, making my terrible sleep habits really obvious.

yeah, I couldnt work without mine!

I am freezing and it's really starting to peas me off.

I want to go shout at my boss "HEATING! IT'S CALLED HEATING, forking TURN IT UP!" But I will go make a cup of tea instead.

I know no one really cares, but he made it! 37F water, 16 knot currents, 103 minutes crossing, Lard only knows how many calories burned keeping warm...

WOW!!!! So amazing!

Being cold is the worst! And English houses are always so forking cold. That's why you lot drink so much tea, right?! (Vaguely joking, my dad is English and I seem to have caught the always-cold genes from him).

I am not usually a whiner about body discomforts but when I'm cold, I am so cranky. I would rather sleep on the carpet next to the radiator than freeze in my boyfriend's preferred window-open-in-the-winter madness. It's ironic, because he grew up in Southern California, and I grew up on the freezing prairies of Canada.

I hope you can warm up!

Haha, I hate being cold inside but my house gets so warm that I actually do have the bedroom window cracked a bit even in winter.

My work is the worst. I shouldn't need three sweaters and fingerless gloves. I work for a multi-billion dollar corporation; they should be able to afford climate control!

monkeytoes, that kicks asparagus.
