Tuesday - Things That Displease Me
Summer classes.
Why, k-, you say, I thought you had that diploma in all its Latin-y goodness. Why would you be in a class during the summer.
Because, dear reader, I am a dope. And as my friend K. says, I am committed to overcommitment.
Ergo, grant writing class.

first they give us Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus
then they give us Mega Piranha
and now they have given us this
I'm sure it will be no match for Birdemic, but then, what could be....

Thursday – Things that Make the Heart Beat Faster
wii rhythm kung fu
that is not my mii in the front there if anyone thought that I had suddenly gained the capacity to upload a video onto YouTube...
also, when I do it there are far fewer "perfect" scores

Beets. I know that they're healthy and all, but they taste funny and have a most displeasing texture.
I blame the Twilight/True Blood/Whatever ABC's summer replacement True Blood rip off/&c trend for making people crave blood colored food.

Tuesday - Things That Displease Me
Flying.
I hate flying. I hate forgetting to buy a 3 oz container of contact lens solution. I hate taking my shoes off and walking on germy floors. I hate that US Air charges $23 for your first checked bag. I hate the seats. I hate the peanuts - or lack of peanuts because of allergies. I hate security lines. I hate it!
P.J. O'Rourke once said (and I'm paraphrasing here) - I remember when flying used to be fun. Now it's like traveling in steerage.
Sigh.
Not sure how much I'll update while I'm away. Have a lovely week.

Monday - Things That Please Me
So, finally deciding that I had gotten fat beyond all recognition, I bought a Wii Fit on Friday. Wii Fit also thinks I am fat beyond recognition. Also that I have very poor balance and not so great coordination. These things are all true.
The thing that pleases me is that I could (and did) make a little animated cat, so Milo now has a Mii.
And here we are (here wii are? is that too twii?)

Thursday – Things that Make the Heart Beat Faster
The mouse that was in my office suite yesterday.
Eep!
And this wasn't a small mouse. This was a gigantic, hantavirus carrying monster mouse.
Now, I'm from the country. I grew up with field mice coming in-doors. I was famous in my family for making my dad set have-a-heart traps, and setting the mice free outside (which in turn lead to my fathers chipmunk relocation program a few summers ago).
But this half-rat mouse--who apparently had his home in the chimney that was being repaired--was no Stuart Little. I was not amused.

More technical difficulties - but the picture I had was a construction sign about wearing appropriate shoes and hard hats.
I'll leave it to your collective imaginations.
