The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

I was going to write up a bit entry about how concerned I was about Erik, but instead I think I'm going to kill him.

We're working the same schedule (more or less) now. So Erik finally has a chance to feel my pain. Except, when he gets home he's too tired to do anything, while I have to clean and make dinner. And then he's in too much of a hurry in the morning to do things like feed the dog (an activity that takes me far longer than it takes him, since I must lurch like the shambling undead to the opposite side of the house). He's in too much of a hurry, I have to take care of it. Oh, and he just wants to relax on his days off. His fifteen days off every month. I, on the other hand, must buy groceries and keep the house clean and do everything that needs doing in my eight days off a month.

Geh. It's the assumption that his time is so much more important than mine that galls me. I, of course, am in no hurry in the morning, nor am I tired after a ten hour day with an hour and a half drive tacked onto both ends. Nope, not at all. He can't stop at the grocery store on his way home to pick up milk, yet he can stop at McDonald's, even though I already started dinner.

Going. To kill. The boy.

And this is only week 2 of god knows how many. This will probably last until mid-April, or until he quits work, or until one of us die. It's pretty much a tossup which is going to happen first.

In the meantime, no cleaning is getting done, because he's too tired and I can't manuver a vacuum or broom about with any ease. I may manuver said broom soundly about his head and shoulders if he persists with the whiny bitchiness. I can out-bitch him any day of the week, thankyouverymuch.

Why the hell does clicking random links on Amazon take me to Cnet? If I wanted to go to CNet, I'd go do CNet, not an "add item" button on Amazon.

I blame Microsoft, Internet Explorer, and NMIC, not necessarily in that order. I also blame the other Unholy Trinity of Microsoft, Outlook, and NMCI for the massive amounts of spam in my work email box. I go from none to huge amounts. I blame NMCI. For everything. Including my sprained ankle.

Why can't I find a place to have a simple and meaningful discussion about Princess Tutu? I'm going to be forced to make Stacey watch this at gunpoint just so I can have some company in dissecting the fairy tale elements.

Gah, the Ahiru/Duck thing sucks, I hate it, but I'm not letting it overshadow my love for this series. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.

And everyone seems to overlook the fact that Neko-Sensei/Mr. Cat is the titular "Puss" from Puss in Boots.

And Drosselmeyer's voice in the dub doesn't appear to capture some of the elements of his character that are going to be Significant later on. Of course, I have only a brief clip to judge from, but it's my least favorite casting choice thus far. Jessica Boone appears to have pulled off Rue better than I had anticipated, but again, I have only short clips to judge from.

I'll tie Erik down and force him to watch it, too. And then I'll dress him in a tutu, take pictures, and send them to his squadmates.

Is a 2GHz laptop with 256MB of memory and a 20 GB hard drive worth $425?

I'd probably get an extra battery and a docking station with it, and it still has almost a year warrantee left on it.
