Awwww!
(I feel like I’m echoing! This would have gone better with the judicious use of multi-quote!)
I can’t prove it, but being humane to bugs (not to mention other living things) seems like a great good-karma thing to do.
Did he say “let’s moon 'em” as he flew away?
Thanks, I couldn’t think what else to call it. I kept thinking of the Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin is bent over grimacing, and Hobbes tells him his butt’s still not lighting up.
I’m terribly arachnophobic, which doesn’t usually spill over to six-legged creatures, but handling a creepy crawly now and then helps my constitution I think.
Spiders eat worse bugs!
So we met the parental units at the airport, checked them into their hotel (their conference happens to be at the new, spiffy resort on the banks of the Potomac river. This place is shiny!), had fun re-introducing the littlest cylon to her grandparents and went to a fine, fine Mexican meal. Yum! All in all, a lovely afternoon/evening.
I think I know where their conference is… my mom had a conference there (and we also went to a fine, fine Mexican meal lol) in May.
Small world!
Casilda, would you also count your new name as Cool Craaaap? I feel I’ve been out of touch for a while. Now there’s all these new names and new moderators. Congrats.
I just got a new wide screen monitor at work. Its the one on the far right. I got to hook up my old monitor to my lap top. Now i have three monitors which means i can have one dedicated to Twitter one to GWC and or Hulu and then use my new monitor to work on!!! (work not being shown in this picture :D)
and yes. Darth Maul is riding a Camel
Just paid my last outstanding bill from my jobless winter. Everything’s caught up now. I’d kick back and relax, but I gotta go to work (I get paid this week–woot!)
Wonderful, I just love it.
I think you garnered some big karmic points Glimfeather. 
Congrats, what a great feeling!
I removed all of the spiders from my classroom who were enjoying making webs on my chairs. I felt good to let them live outside where they belong. I later found out that they were poisonous, but rather harmless since they did not bite that much. I used a broom to scoop up part of their web and took them outside never touching them. I never new there were brown widow spiders. Twice as poisonous as a black widow spiders, but mellow. I am still glad I saved their little lives. I also (after a panic attack) realized how many students could have been harmed. So win for spiders and students. You never know when a little kindness can go a long way.
I have an air conditioner that works!
That is so COOL!!! (see what I did there?;))
I got my oil changed today. That may not seem very cool, but while they were changing it, they noticed my serpentine belt was riddled with cracks. (I saw it after they took it off, and it scared me.) The really cool part is that if I hadn’t taken it in today, or they hadn’t been so observant, I might have driven to New York next weekend without knowing. My route on I-80 through the middle of PA is very sparsely populated and mountainous. I might have broken down in the middle of nowhere. Yay for serendipity!
Oh, and I scored some Whedon-y goodness today, too! I now have all of Buffy except season 5, and all of Angel except seasons 2 and 5! Whoo hoo!
Keep those good work vibes coming, Leah: they’re working. A commission that I didn’t think I would know about at all until October at the earliest (the deadline for the proposal was this past Tuesday) just came through today. We’re negotiating the fee, but it’s for a big orchestra in Denmark, so I’m not complaining.
Yay! That’s good news!
St. Louis has gotten so gross and muggy right now. I’m appalled when people walk into my Starbucks and order hot coffees. Glad you can finally chill out now, Leah (see, I did it too!).
And I’m glad for your good spider karma. We have brown recluses here in Missouri, and they’re pretty nasty. Their poison pretty much eats holes in your tissue.
