Jan. 2nd, 2009 11:21 amGood nearly-afternoon! I overslept and ate a lot of toast. My sinuses are no longer threatening to explode but I am coughing up a lung, so I'm being dosed with a lot of hot beverage and reminders that I am susceptible to pneumonia (regrettably true).
In happier news, however,
sadcypress is a better person than I am and posted photos of her Christmas Tree, complete with many colourful word ornaments from the Cafe's interesting-words-as-Christmas-ornaments collective project. It is awesome!
If you missed the ornaments the first time round, you can get them here.
Best of all, though, I have introduced my mother to LOLcats. She had never encountered them before. She is, I am happy to say, a convert, despite some difficulty in the initial translation.
Today we are going to the bank to deposit Mama Tickey's generous Christmas check, and then to the grocery store, and then probably I am going to pass out in the backseat or something. Most of the check is going to go into savings or to pay a few bills, but I'm thinking of setting aside a little and buying myself a new camera.
Also of note: my parents have a remote controlled ceiling fan. THAT'S RIGHT YOU HEARD ME. A remote controlled ceiling fan. If you push a button on the remote the fan lamp lights up! If you push another it stops fanning! I think it might even beat out Dalek Can and Dalek Suck as the most ridiculous automated appliance my family owns.
