My new baby:

I AM COLD! ZOMG you guys it is FALLLLLLL!!!!!

Time for sweaters and jeans and windows open at night while the kitty snuggles on the bed and the combines are going in the field outside.

Also time for eighty-degree afternoons, which makes it really stinking hard to pack for a five-day trip with many varied activities.

But I'm not complaining. YAY! And ZOMG my 32-nd birthday is only SIX DAYS AWAY.

Not that I deserve ANY presents since I have horribly neglected the last several highly important birthdays of dear friends. *looks ashamed and hides*

BRRR! I need to go put on some flannel.

Limnea is an adult already! My, how quickly they grow. :)

Its sibling still needs love, though. Plz to b clicking? :D :D :D

Yes, we're writing Reid/Rossi.

severity_softly: seriously, Reid + ego = notp
innerslytherin: Awww, Dave + ego = OTP so maybe there is a good equation waiting to be written there.
innerslytherin: (Reid+ego) * (Dave+ego) / [(Reid + Dave) - (Reid*ego)] = ???
severity_softly: BWAHAHAHA!  XD


Someone want to solve that equation for me? *G*

Fine, fine, I can't resist. I got an egg.

Someone downstairs is vacuuming. At 10:25 at night. Weird.

The cat keeps looking at me, and I know he wants a treat. They're on my desk at the moment, for no real reason except I was near the desk when I gave him treats the last time.

I went home sick Friday, felt weird much of the weekend, including being unable to stand for longer than one song at church on Sunday. Yesterday I got up and got ready for work, feeling horribly nauseous. Finally decided to stay home and go in at noon. Went upstairs, put my pajamas back on, and spent the next ten minutes throwing up. So it turned out to be a good thing I'd changed, because my bathroom floor hasn't been mopped in, oh, months. (I've swept it, but not mopped.)

Finally felt better today, though, and my boss invited me to a meeting this afternoon so I could learn more about the company. It was informative, and I got to show my initiative by going to a meeting. *G* They're doing workplace climate surveys the next two days. Yippee.

OMG CRIMINAL MINDS SEASON 4 PREMIERE TOMORROW!!!1!!!ONE! *FLAILS*

I've recently been writing a lot of Dave Rossi in fics. For a lot of things I've already got his canon in my mind. The names of his three ex-wives, for instance, and the fact that he has a cat and doesn't really get along well with Jason Gideon. The fact that he drives fast, and has a pickup truck, not a car. That he drinks Scotch and Rhum Barbancourt and prefers Italian red wines.

But one thing I can't totally settle on is his music.

( If you don't watch Criminal Minds, you can skip this one. )

Bonus question: Who wants severity_softly to post her batch of Rossi icons?! WOOHOO!

I need to make an SPN filter, just because I don't get the CW and have to wait until iTunes has it before I read all y'all's squeeful, thinky commentary. So a poll, just because it's easier.

Poll #2348 SPN filter
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Do you watch SPN?

Do you miss the urban legend episodes?

Ticky?

( Spoilery stuff probably here as well as in comments )

I'm feeling sort of meta-ish today, and I suppose this entry requires two disclaimers: 1. This is probably a horse that was beat to death during Strikethrough. 2. This deals with religious beliefs, among other things, and there's always the possibility you'll be offended; however I would prefer any discussion be kept respectful.

So that said, there's something I've been thinking about lately... Does writing about something mean that you condone it?

( Oh my gosh, this got long! )

Mmmmmm, Pacey.


Was I the only one who spent half the damn episode going "Who is that mad-scientist guy???" only to realize at one point, "OMG IT'S DENETHOR! NO WONDER HIS SON HATES HIM!"

The show looks creepy, and JJ Abrams apparently has a thing for starting series out on a plane. But hey, I've set my DVR to record the series, and I'm willing to watch it just because Pacey is still hawt. It looks like it's part Pretender, part X-Files, part Twilight Zone, and part-FBI thriller.

We'll see.

So I just fell asleep in the bathroom. I closed my eyes for a minute...and ten minutes later woke up after having been dreaming. What the heck? I've been waking up a lot in the middle of the night the past couple of weeks, for no reason that I can tell. It doesn't help any that today I have a horrible sinus headache again, though I seem to not actually be getting the cold Mom had, so I'm grateful for that.

It's so bad I actually went to the breakroom and got a cup of French Vanilla coffee out of the machine. We'll see if I can actually make myself drink it... Too bad they don't have mocha, that's the kind I've always liked best.

Went to the Indianapolis Museum of Art today to see the "To Live Forever" exhibit of Demetrios' mummy, stela, canopic jars, reliefs, and various other Egyptian artifacts. Having just seen the Field Museum's exhibit lat month, I can say that this exhibit, on loan from Brooklyn, wasn't as extensive, but it was still incredible. Just the intricacy of the carving they did is amazing. Something that impressed me in both exhibits was the hand mirrors. Just the fact that so many thousands of years ago they had hand mirrors--it's incredible.

We also walked around the gardens a little--they were designed by Olmstead, who also designed Central Park in New York--and then went to Crown Hill Cemetery.

Crown Hill is the fourth largest cemetery in the United States. I had no idea. It has people like U.S. President Harrison, James Whitcomb Riley, Booth Tarkington, John Dillinger, the guy who invented Sodoku, and lots of other notables, buried there. Crown Hill is, I believe, the highest natural spot in Marion County, Indiana. There is a National Cemetery plot for Civil War dead. There are several memorials like the Heroes of Public Service, the Indiana AIDS memorial, and others.

( I took lots of pictures - clickable thumbnails behind the cut. )

I also splurged on a new purse at the IMA shop. But it's so freaking adorable I fell in love and couldn't make myself leave without it.

( It's made out of paper! )

OMG YOU GUYS I FREAKING LOVE THE NEW NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK CD!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?



I can't seem to stop listening to this song, despite the fact that I have a serious hatred for infidelity in any form.



Also, I have burned my tongue badly on pizza bites and am almost drunk on Oliver's 2006 Traminette.
