tshuma | The following is not true.

"Today I realized I hate everyone in the whole world." (from a Dilbert cartoon)

It's not true. It merely exaggerates.

Tell me something happy. Please.

I have a reprint of this strip on my wall.

It's your icon that taught me that phrase.

Derek and I are going down to DC this weekend, to see 2 friends of ours get married.

She and I have been friends since High School, lost touch for about 10 years, and found each other again via another friend (who we have known since Jr. High.)

That's lovely! =)

The Girl thinks you're neat people. So does flit1. So, there's three happy things...

Something happy?

...um...

The Golden Compass comes out in just over a month.

Also, there's three Tori concerts around that exact same date, for which I believe tickets are still available.

Also also, Shonen Knife at Slim's just a couple of days later?

Ah, Tori. I don't think I can justify seeing her again so soon, since she was just in Boston when I was. But I know other people who will be very happy about that.

You are well loved.

It's Friday.

There's a very good secret that I really want to share with people because I know it will make them very happy, but I can't share it until after the first of the year. But trust me, it's good.

Happy secret to you!
Happy secret to you!
la la la la la la la la
Happy secret to you!

I'm not in pain today.

I am very happy to hear that.

I slept curled up with a kitty last night. It purred and purred.

also, the line I use is Toby Ziegler from West Wing:

There's literally no one in the world I don't hate right now.

It's a sunny day out, and there's no work tomorrow!

No work at all! Hey, I picked up your message about 10:30 last night -- I was out of cell coverage when you called and had already registered a message from another person I'd forgotten to delete, so didn't realize I had yours in there, too.

I thought we'd invited you to parties often enough to give you our address -- I'm so sorry I didn't think.

Sweet Grub kisses (that smell faintly of graham crackers).

Mmmmm, graham crackers and a Grub....smells like pie to me!

My son slept until eleven am today. I sure hope he gets to meet you soon, hon!
Hugs!

Thanks, that would be lovely!

My broken foot is getting better.

Sable continues to eat wet food, so we don't have to force feed him anymore. He was incredibly sweet to me this morning too.

Umm. I'm hoping to play Arkham Horror twice tomorrow :)

You've got people who love and care about you. Don't listen to the idiots.

There. How's that?

You broke your foot? I broke my foot! We have so much in common!

(sorry, inside paraphrasing)

My cats brought me several toy mice in bed this morning. I fear for the day that they find a real mouse.

At least your protein intake will be assured with them around. Keep up the good work, minions!

there is fresh tilled earth in my mom's garden.

and i have narcissus bulbs that are sprouting.

I love the smell of freshly tilled earth. =)

We have narcissus bulbs that are just now flowering. So pretty!

it really is one of those days, isn't it?

Jackson has a "licky spot" that if you rub it, he will microderm abraise your face for free...

Ah, feline exfoliation, gratis!

I'm having my first major system issue as a new manager, and seem to be handling it both with command, and without irritating my (highly independent, surprised to be under new management, possibly chagrined that that new management is me) team. It's a fine line, and I'm kind of shocked to be balancing it OK the first time.

Nicely done! Sometimes it takes those situations to demonstrate to oneself that one has skills and talents of which one knows not.

Happiness is the almost dowdy camel colored sweater which look frumpy but feels so buttery soft and warm.

The trees on the drive in are turning the colors of autumn and look so beautiful. I can almost smell the tea and pumpkin or apple pie that accompanies autumn. Or maybe a big slice of warm gingerbread.

My nephew who just turned four had such a great time trick-or-treating that he woke up early the next day and wanted to go again.

These noise cancelling headphones are working kind of. The thought that an upgrade would work better is somewhat delicious.

Serenity Now!

Gingerbread! I think that needs to happen in my November.

I <3 my noise cancelling headphones. Now that I share an office room with five other people who often have impromptu meetings mid-room, they are not just nice to have; they're utterly necessary.

In just over two weeks my family and I will land on US soil and I can expose our daughter to the pretty colors of the West Coast :)

Yay! Will you make it to the western bay at all?

* You are loved by a great many more people than you think.

* My daughter is feeling much better today than she has all week.

* In a week, Guildmistress and I are flying to Texas to visit a friend who really needs the company.

i've noticed that,
the older you get,
the less your farts smell.

but,
whether that's happy,
or sad.
i leave up to you.
for statements have no intrinsic value.

oh.
update.

not *all* farts smell less.

really.

ack.

ha! tell me another one, old man.

Yes, that was amusing. Especially when you read the comments to learn that he wasn't especially engaged by it, just bemused and preoccupied at the time.

I have a cat whose purr precedes him into the room by six or more feet. I looked up at the noise and then he entered the room. It was so cool.

I have hella talented kids whose opening night I attended about an hour ago. I am lucky to work with them.

You have the purr-proximity warning system. How delightful!

A little late 'cause I just saw this.

The feral kittens living in my room are starting to accept humans as not-scary, after I've been sharing the room with them for only four days (they moved in right after I flew to Minneapolis, so they've been here longer than that).

Yesterday evening, I tempted all three of them onto the bed with a little strip of paper. It took about ten minutes but they did eventually forget they were scared of me, and I had them leaping all around the bed and could even pet them without them running away.

... then last night, when I was reading and about to fall asleep, I noticed that one of them was going to sleep right on the bed about a foot and a half from my head.
