…I have a MySpace account. *insert obligatory excuse for signing up in the first place here* I’ve had it for years, never used it unless someone added me, tried to delete it once and never got the confirm email. But then I let it slip that I actually had one in IRC and there was […]

“No need to get into sexism”
December 31st, 2006 by pleia2
So I’m sitting in a F/OSS channel this morning and someone joins: <nickChanged> hello dudes Now it’s possible that this person just wanted to greet the men in the channel, so I asked: <pleia2> What, no greeting for the ladies? A quick exchange follows, in which the fellow apologizes and another fellow (who I know) […]

Another “past few days” post
December 28th, 2006 by pleia2
My holiday weekend off ended up being nice and relaxing. It began with being let out from work an hour early on Friday, always a nice treat. Saturday was my mother’s birthday and I ended up giving her a call and talking for a while, but otherwise spent the day reading and doing stuff around […]

Cat and Mouse
December 23rd, 2006 by pleia2
Versus Don’t worry, no one was hurt, Caligula is a merciful housecat with no claws. Our house was built in 1945 as what we believe was a hunting shack with a single fireplace to heat it. Over the years bits were added to it, it was expanded out the front and back for a kitchen […]

Misc stuff
December 21st, 2006 by pleia2

We’re getting a kitten!
December 17th, 2006 by pleia2
It’s an idea we’ve knocked around for a while, figuring Caligula could use a little sister, but we weren’t seriously looking into breeds and local breeders. Then a woman at work happened to mention that her mother-in-law breeds siamese – bingo! I’ve known a few siamese, they have temperaments all over the board but they’ve […]

Caligula’s birthday party
December 14th, 2006 by pleia2
Caligula has a zillion toys, so this year we just decided to get him one toy, some cat grass and a delicious tuna dinner. Ooooh is that for me? Yay new toy! Attack! Rawr! Then Michael “prepared” a delicious plate of Eukanuba Morsels in Sauce with Select Tuna. Hey food! Eating!

Starting the holiday season
December 8th, 2006 by pleia2
This morning I spilled coffee on myself, down the front of my shirt and onto my pants. I rock. I smell like coffee and the Tide instant stain-remover pen. Last Friday was the company holiday party. I had thought about not going because of the disappointment of last year (not enough seats for dinner, lousy […]
