+ I have a new tattoo. It is nerdy and awesome. I will post pics after it’s healed.
- The new tattoo is on my forearm and is preventing me from doing some of my chores (most specifically, the dishes), which is stressing me out a little.
+ I got the tattoo in Victoria, and since the journey to and from the city involves a ferry trip and multiple busrides I caught up on the latest season of Battlestar Galactica while in transit.
- They’ve been auctioning off all the sets, props and costumes for BSG over the past couple of weeks and I had no idea until yesterday (some auctions are still live on ebay right now).
- I can’t afford any of the props anyway, and even if I could, I’m not sure where I’d put the command console from the control room. Or the life-sized Cylon raider, for that matter.
+ After the kerfuffle surrounding my grandfather’s funeral, things have finally settled more or less back to normal for me (which means the blogging should return to a relatively normal schedule, too).
+ In the wake of the funeral, I got to reconnect with a bunch of my family members I missed seeing (some of them literally at ‘the wake’).
- In the kerfuffle, I forgot about my library books. They are now a couple of days overdue.
- One of our cats ate his mousie and is gurving up all over the house. No more of those for you, mister.
10x - He just gurved up ALL of his breakfast in our bedroom. It was a two-towel job. Yeah. I’m pretty sure this is a large part of the reason I don’t want babies.
+ Luckily, they both enjoy the catnip, which doesn’t make them barf. More dope for the kitties!
