arrrrrrrrrgh

For crying out loud:

I know you love your grandchildren, which I think is truly wonderful. I'm so glad that you're the type of grandma that cares about every little thing they do and buys them things and all that jazz. But could you PLEASE keep the discussions of their excretory habits to a minimum? And while we're at it, talk to the kid like he's somewhat intelligent. I know he's 3, but it might just inspire him to higher levels of self-expression if you stop using 'kid voice.' Especially when I get a great idea for writing something on the subway stairs and have to wait for my freaking computer to take 10 years to load so I can start putting some of these ideas into a word document. Okay? Okay!

Thanks!

Love,
me.

It's oh so quiet...

Welcome to dullsville. Population me.

After I do the laughable tidbit of work I have to do, I will probably look at Blerg's list of feeds I don't have, or friendsfriends. I never thought I'd tire of reading non-LJ blogs, but after two straight days of doing very little else but, I'm starting to get kind of tired of it. ><

*sigh* I will remember this when I'm so busy I can't see straight. I swear.

Insert witty sub line here.

Okay, why is my throat bothering me? There will be hell to pay if I'm getting sick again. That would make once a month (almost to the day!) for 6 months. Which is beyond excessive. Granted it's all been small colds and sore throats and not something like bronchitis, although that last sore throat was a doozy. I'm going to do whatever I have to in order to get to sleep early tonight. I need to, as it seems to be the only way I'm capable of fighting off an illness. *sigh* Plus, I still haven't ruled out attending tomorrow's writing group meeting out in Queens, but that all depends on how I feel.

No Angel until next week, so it should be easy. Last night I was watching Navy NCIS (if you like CSI, you'd probably like this, too. It's much better than CSI: Miami) when my phone rang. I changed my ringer to Vivaldi's "Spring" in honor of the change of seasons, and am still getting used to the new ringer. It was Carly, and we spent nearly 2 hours on the phone catching up and chitchatting, with the hopes of making plans sometime soon. It was like those talks we used to have back in school that I miss sooo much. *sigh* Tonight I have to call Beyza and Chris-from-Albany about future plans as well. *ties string around finger*

I got off the phone with Carly just in time to watch the Fab 5 turn Mega Mullet Man into a Liev Schrieber lookalike. guh. Plus? This guy's stepdaughter got a flat-screen plasma tv, a new ibook, and an ipod. Oh, AND a Kate Spade bag. *incoherent sounds* So jealous.

Plus, now it seems that they're doing a new show, Queer Eye for the Straight Girl. Different Fab 5 (sadly), but still an interesting concept. Not sure if I want to put my name down before I see the new guys in action, or I have my own place, but this is still exciting.

Better get back to work now, but I'll end off with another meme, as halfokay (welcome back, sweetie!) does so often.

( another meme! )

Call me Giles and I'll break you in half.

Because I am a ginormous nerd, I'm super duper excited about the absolutely fantastic new design for theBrooklyn Public Library's site. It's just grand. Easy to search, and just all shiny and fun. They have live homework help, maps, Brooklyn-related links. Check it out if you live in that borough! I haven't been to the Central Library in eons, but it's got a great collection.

I have a book to check out for a new sci fi book club I just joined. I miss reading sci-fi (after overdosing on it for a year or so, I haven't really read any in a while), so I figured I'd take a shot when I met up with some cool people who had said club at a party recently. The book is called The Stars my destination and it's by Alfred Bester. I have neither the money nor the room to buy a copy of this book, plus I love going to the library - I always feel like such a fugitive there. They have ALL of these books, and they let you TAKE THEM HOME WITH YOU. For free!! All you have to do is bring them back. It's grand. I think it'll catch on.

Must remember to send that donation to the fund drive the New York Public Library (seperate from the Brooklyn Public!) is having. If there's one thing I really believe in, it's libraries.
