Toys and novels and stuff

H and I both have the day off today. I can't recall the last time we had a day off together that wasn't a Sunday (when we grocery shop). We thought about seeing a movie and or going to dinner, but ended up staying home and watching TV. We didn't even get anything On Demand.

I managed to finish going over the edits for both books, and do my acknowlegments for Sadie. I'm not sure that Cat's Apprentice will need them, but I haven't decided yet.

Been researching dulcimers and dulcimer kits for my big lesson. It appears that you can spend a crapload of money on a dulcimer if you want to. I'm talking about the lap, or mountain dulcimer, not the hammered kind. I'm talking with my buddy STeve about building one from a kit.

Speaking of my buddy Steve, he got H the coolest present: a Rubik's cube for color blind people. It has black and white shapes instead of colors and it is damn cool. Steve is totally into the cube right now, he just called to see if we needed any silicone lubricant to make it turn faster. I don't think we do, but it's nice to know where to get some should we ever have the need. His is white and black, but otherwise, it's like the one pictured:


I'm off work tomorrow too, and should probably go to the docs to get more blood work done. Apparently my glucose was high, but I also didn't know I had to fast last time. So we shall see.

Three people on my flist have jury duty this week. Have fun doing your civic duty, chumps!

You mean "Have fun holding the power to destroy the lives of total strangers, chumps!"

Yes, that's actually much closer to what I mean.

A recorded message told me that I am "required to go in tomorrow" for jury duty. Best case scenario: I'll take the day off from work and get dismissed in the morning. However, I doubt it'll go that swimmingly.

Well, I hope it goes your way!

A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana. He bangs on the bar with his paw and demands a beer.

The bartender approaches and says, "We don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings."

The bear, becoming angry, demands again that he be served a beer.


The bartender tells him again, more forcefully, "We don't serve beer to belligerent bears in bars in Billings."

The bear, very angry now, says, "If you don't serve me a beer, I'm going to eat that lady sitting at the end of the bar."

The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings."


The bear goes to the end of the bar and, as promised, eats the woman. He comes back to his seat and again demands a beer.


The bartender states, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings who are on drugs."


The bear says, "I'm NOT on drugs."


The bartender says, "You are now. That was a barbitchyouate."

The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races.

So IF the jury is DEADLOCKED then we'll all be SEQUESTERED in the Springfield Palace Hotel.

And that's why we have Chinese food for lunch.
