The Zoo over Ambuscade Street

Soooo....it appears that the Democratic Party is making a blatant attempt to gain my vote:

America lags behind other countries that have universal broadband deployment, Pelosi said; but the Democrats' agenda "guarantees" that every American will have affordable access to broadband within five years.

Yet, somehow, I'm still reading that sentance as "every American that doesn't live on Dani's road."

Evil Zombi Queen Dani has been banished into the darkness, yay! I slept like the Proverbial Log, was dragged out of bed by Erik (probably wouldn't have made it if he wasn't up for court), and stumbled my way into work. With a much improved mood. And everything else.

The Tercel is spouting smoke from the engine and overheating. Erik, for reasons that escape me, is still trying to drive it. >.< At least we have the money to pay for those repairs, too - but it means that, right now, we have only one functional vehicle. Should be an interesting weekend.

Whoa...I can have 111 userpics now, sweet! If I manage to find some time this weekend, I'll have to upload some more. Will the elusive "Venom Cock" icon finally earn a place? Or will it be overtaken by Yet Another Tutu or Rage icon? Only time will tell!

In other news, I'm supposed to be in three places at once on Saturday, which is a fun trick. And doesn't take into account any fun games I'll have to play due to having only one working vehicle. Should be an adventure. Melissa and I are going to be meeting with Jeff from the brewery next week to talk tavern, and see if we can undo some of the PR damage that some of our less socially skilled members have done.

You know - in a situation where *I* have more social skills and graces than the average, you know there's a few problems.

My new hairclip is freaking awesome, and took practically no time to complete. Yay! I can't wait to get it.

I have salad and green beans for lunch, or I can eat some carrot cake that New!Boss Lady (didn't I give her another name? I can't remember...) brought in. I am in a frenzy of indecision. Also, no fresh ginger root at the grocery store = lame. I wanted to gnaw on some. Raw. Plain. No idea why. I'd brush it off as a Strange Zombi Urge, but it still sounds like a good idea today. Maybe I just like ginger a little too much.

I adore Blackthorn. Lots. I think many of you will adore Blackthorn - Irish-flavored rock at it's best. You can download two of their songs (including my favorite, Ratty Shoes) from the PA Faire's web page. Go forth and do so. There's some other stuff too, Seven Nations makes me all happy as well. But not as much as Blackthorn - who I've never had a chance to see live.

Hmmmm...to Fling or not to Fling...
