(no subject)

Called in sick this morning. I'm actually feeling a bit better than I did yesterday, but I've hit the "expectorating" stage of this bug, and I figured it'd count as a public service to keep my biological noises at home.

Poor By had to go from being sick himself to taking care of me, last night. Which he did, in wonderful style--I got home from class to find my comfy clothes warm out of the dryer, and soup and tea water ready on the stove. Thank you so much, honey.

Am spending the day resting, clearing out my lungs, and knitting. And baking...mustn't forget that. I promised By I'd make a batch of cheese-filled rolls for he and Cammie to take as road munchies to Norman.

The Sock Report: am halfway down the foot (on a cuff-down sock) of the first fluted bannister sock for Cammie. Note to self: sock patterns go really fast when you've done them three times :)

Duh....

wasabi peas = sinus clearing, without the nasty side effects of decongestants

I'm so glad I remembered that!

Silliness for Cammie (and anyone else who hasn't seen these yet)

First: 213 Things Skippy Is No Longer Allowed To Do In The US Army
And, because I'm easily amused, check out about Skippy.

Second:50 Rule For Hogwarts (which is a Potter-themed take-off of the 213 Things list)

Third: The Very Secret Diaries Of The Fellowship Of The Rings. In particular, I direct your attention to ...well, just read them. You'll see. Best not at work, though.

Because the subject came up in the nightly phone call...

More Discworld silliness

For all you Pratchett fans who've wanted to sing along with your books, I give you the annotated listing of all the songs in the books.

Someone has too much time on their hands.

There are 9 versions of the hedgehog song. Including one labelled an "unexpuragated" version. Another is the "discworld fauna" version. And the last version offered is a brief two verses, set to Beethoven's Ode To Joy.

To quote the boyfriend, "eeep!"

More silliness

My politcailly-minded friends will eb amused by this filk: A Vote For Palpatine Is A Vote For Order

It spoofs GWB's election. Color me amused.

draco_kc, you ought to read this one

...especially the first verse :)

A filk of My Favorite Things.

**snickers**


I'm a bad, bad hobbit sometimes.

I'm going to post this, even though the boyfriend just told me not to

Some sick puppy re-wrote the Council of Elrond scene as a musical, to the tune of "Bear Necessities" from the Disney film "The Jungle Book". Lyrics found here.

I probably ought to stop reading these, and think about going to bed. But they're awfully funny.
