Christmas eve

I have stocking stuffers & cheese prepped and ready to go.

I know where my stocking is.

Tonight's theme: Electricity

First, the buyer on Property Virgins was a woman who'd been struck by lightning the year before she went on the show.
Then on Eureka, the crisis of the week spread via electrical transmission.
On Warehouse 13, the MacGuffin electrocuted people.
And finally, Dave Chapelle did the electric guitar sketch with John Mayer.

Spooky.


Today's earrings: flies, fish

If wishes were owls...

I'd be nocturnal, and it wouldn't matter that the people next door kept the party going until 4am yesterday morning. I hate having to knock on the neighbors' doors.

So, that one place I was talking about

with the wall of glass brick facing the street? If I'm reading google right, the street in question is the alley behind Angry Lemming's office. And if I'm reading the property description right, the apartment has deeded parking.

But does that make up for the place being innundated if sea level rises more than 4 meters? And in a liquefaction zone? Probably not. Liquefaction + glass brick = unhappiness.


Today's earrings: rabbits, suns

Warehouse 13

another tourists-on-transit day

I stopped at the market on the way home, which means cable car. The brakeman got totally pissy with the tourists. Too many people who can't/won't understand the concept of "keep the space behind the brakeman clear," with a side order of idiots wandering into traffic.

Yes, I live in a tourist attraction; no, it's not actually a theme park. Please do not walk into the path of the oncoming cars.

Then the woman in front of me at the checkstand paid in quarters. *sigh*

On my lawn

Some kind of teenage class trip occupied the back half of the bus this morning, and they chattered the whole way downtown. I wanted to turn to them and shout, "HEY! We do not talk on the bus! SHUT UP!"

Fortunately for everyone, I hadn't had my coffee yet.


Today's earrings: scarabs
