Fire of Unknown Origin

guess who just mishandled the cat feeder and dumped about 2/3 of a 5-pound payload of cat food all over the freshly mopped and still damp kitchen floor

go on, guess

the worst housekeeper ever is going to bed now

Did I tell you to upgrade yourself to 3? Well? Did I?

NO I DID NOT

WHY YOU GOT TO DO A THING?

…sigh. Oldbar, Hide Unvisited, bootleg Neopets toolbar get. Successor to Super DragAndGo get. del.icio.us, ForecastFox, Adblock, and StumbleUpon all still seem to work. effffffffff you, FireFox. *shakes fist*

……okay so maybe I have been meaning to upgrade it myself but a little warning would have been nice is all I’m saying

Seriously, though–storeroom or not, how the hell does this go unnoticed long enough for these plants to get this big

…o rite, I was going to post an outtake, huh

For future reference: municipal jury duty is pretty excellent. Basically, I got paid $6 cash to watch TV for 45 minutes. Also, the judge was awesome and funny when he came out to tell us to go home. Unfortunately, I got out of there just in time to get to work almost on time! Oh well.

I saw this little guy on the curb outside the courthouse while I was waiting for my ride:

He would have completely fit on a penny.

Chapter 9: The Devil You Know is up; an outtake will go up sometime tomorrow, probably.

Chapter 9, it is finished.

It is also 27K words. x_X

(there’s a whole scene that might end up being cut; as much as I love it, it kind of feels PASTEDE ON YAY, which would take it down to… maybe 26K words X_x)

I have a new theme on my blog. Those of you who normally read my crap via LJ are invited to come on over and take a peek, because it’s adorable.

I noticed after I upgraded Wordpress on the blog that it has a few sets of automagically-generated avatars, so that when people who have no Gravatars leave comments it will do some Arithmancy thing and assign them a userpic based on e-mail address entered. And one option for the generated avatars was cute little monsters.

That, I decided, was awesome. But it was not compatible with the Fake Livejournal Comments setup I had. Bawww.

So I’ve meant to go shopping around for new themes anyway, and while I was at it I figured I’d get one with built-in Gravatar-or-cute-monster support in the comments. I meant to get something kind of cool and slick and dignified, I guess.

And then I saw this theme and said I MUST HAVE THIS. Well, it goes perfect with the little cute monsters.

OM NOM NOM NOM.

So I guess they figured “Well, we’ve pissed pretty much everyone in the US off, now we’ve pissed pretty much everyone in Canada off, who are we missing… O RITE!”

In a spectacular display of ignorance, PETA talking head Lindsay Rajt offers this gem:

“We think that Mexicans and other immigrants should be warned if they cross into the U.S. they are putting their health at risk by leaving behind a healthier, staple diet of corn tortillas, beans, rice, fruits and vegetables.”

Yeah, this would be the point where my jaw hit the floor.

Good grief, lady, while you’re at it you might as well take out full-page ads in New Orleans telling black people to stop eating fried chicken and stick with the watermelon and collard greens.

I have called PETA a lot of unkind things in the past, but not “racist shitheads.” Until now, anyway. Ugh. UGH.
