[apocalypsos]

-- Where the hell is my laptop?! Oh, man, waaaaaaant. Mostly because my desktop has suddenly gotten a virus or something and is now running at roughly the speed of mayonnaise.

-- apocalyptothon stories are going up! Woo! Go read!

-- I really don't have anything to say about the daily_deviant wank that hasn't already been said much more eloquently by others, but I can say that the mods have clearly achieved an epic case of FAIL. The kind George Lucas would film brilliantly, and then turn around and re-edit twenty years later with questionable special effects, and then turn around ten years later and release forty-seven different ways on DVD, and then turn around and charge you an arm and a leg for each version. It's that level of epic FAIL. Seriously, there should be Ewoks or something.

-- I've been letting my mind wander at work and the story ideas are popping up like crazy. So, you know, YAY.

-- This is the conversation I had with my mother when she called yesterday ...

Mom: "Why is your fan not in your window?"
Me: "Because I had to work last night and I don't like leaving a running window fan in an open window that usually gets by rain when I'm not sure if it's going to storm?"
Mom: "Oh, because there was a lady from the zoo at the park with a bunch of different animals and she had a chinchilla, and she said that they have to be kept cool because they're practically wearing little fur coats --"
Me: "And you think I don't know this?"
Mom: "Well, yes, but -- "
Me: "And, what? You don't think that I learned my fucking lesson?"
Mom: "... um, yes.."
Me: "Okay, then." *hangs up*

Sheesh.

I also stopped up the house this morning to pick up cat food and was half-asleep so I forget to tell her happy birthday. Uh, oops? *goes to find cell phone*

I don't know, mayonnaise can run pretty fast.

Depends on what's chasing it...(sorry, here from metaquotes)

Okay, I've got to metaquotes the part about the fail. It was so good it hurt my eyes.

There are times when I'm really, truly glad that I'm not involved in a lot of Deep Fandom.

Also, I may be a few days late with my apocalyptathon entry. I'm waiting to get it back from my beta for some final comments before posting. It's written, but I want to get another set of eyeballs on it before I let the world see it.

Hey! :wave: Meant to add you after fandomhigh, reminded by meta. Is it okay to do so?

Not sure if I've ever told you this, but a friend of mine has a chinchilla. When his air conditioning went out, he got a bag of ice, an emergency blanket and a fan. He put the bag of ice on the floor next to the cage and the fan right behind it, and covered the whole assembly with the emergency blanket. This kept Kalen cool during the 90 F day.
