nobody here but us chickens

Month: December 2011 (Page 1 of 2)

a borrowed wish

“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.” ~Neil Gaiman

Borrowed, but no less sincere.

This is my new favorite photograph of Miss W.  The Mister shot it this week during a family gathering.

I read The Warrior by Jim Butcher yesterday, a Dresden novelette that appeared in the Mean Streets anthology (and in Side Jobs – a Dresden anthology).  If you never read any other Dresden story, read this one.  It is perhaps a little more obvious in places than the usual Dresden fare, but it is moving and it will make you think.  Good words for a new year, without a doubt.

I hope you all have a wonderful 2012.  I hope we do too.

Random Wednesday – Christmas Vacation Edition

i’m so lonely without you

mummy in the maze

I’m feeling deficient.

Food would be good now.

Goin’ back someday.

It’s chilly.  26 degrees is chilly.

Dresden, tea, knitting, a tiny Reese’s.  Vacation is good.

I haven’t figured out how to do that yet.

My tea leaves look like a  galaxy.  An ocean of stars in my hand.

Why would I pay $14 for the privilege of jumping in Goguac Lake on this frigid day?

I was waiting only –

Over the river and through the woods …

Relevance.  Irrelevance.  Irreverence.

creak.  I sound like a cop.

Back in the car back in the car.

I like my cousin and his wife.  Those are good people.

I should just have a job knitting all the time.  I could do that job.

No one wants to take me to see the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.  I don’t know why.  What’s not to like about Daniel Craig?  See?  I totally typed his name without getting drool on my keyboard.

Is heaven any sweeter than?

I’ve been away all day.  This is impossible.

I think I’ll just post this tomorrow.  Randomly the wrong day.

This is the wrong frame of mind.

It was a lovely evening.  Some of my family likes me a lot.

She wore ah ah

I’m so cold.  Oh!  I was making tea.  I forgot.

I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

A kick ass mix cd for a kick ass girlie.  Good job, bunny!

I wish I had the discipline to write a book.

Maybe I should just go see it by myself.  It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve gone to a movie alone.

I think we’ve failed at our first triops attempt.

Those eggs are bad.  Bad eggs.

My Die Hard marathon is a failure as well.  I have only managed to watch Die Hard and Die Harder. 

I’ve got the time to wonder why.

No one will even notice.

smug bastard

This vacation is going too quickly.

Half of my post just got lost.

We made it through Die Hard With A Vengeance last night.  Only Live Free or Die Hard left.  It’s the only one I haven’t seen.

I ♥ Bruce Willis.

Yes, Random Wednesday has carried over into Thursday morning.

Gloomy morning.

Eye charts and shoppers and loud.  No, I can’t open that eye any wider.

Before and after.

I am not eating tiny Reese’s for breakfast, tempting as that may be.

Have you ever?

Well that was an interesting choice.

You could come with me.

Maybe we can get a scholarship.

Those eggs are good.  Good eggs.

That picture is crooked.

Empty night.

New Year’s Eve.  That’s a good movie night.  With some Scotch.

It’s breakfast dessert.

Traded their memories.

I suppose.  I suppose.  Achoo!  I suppose.

What is your favorite color?

Random Wednesday – Christmas Edition

happy christmas

I do not know when grades are posted.  I should probably look that up.

This headache is fantastic.  As in fantastically bad.

Oh, there they are.

I’ve always liked the word “malapropism”.

Monkey bandaids!

I saved you from the cliff.

highly favored

Why are we still on overtime?

I keep thinking it’s Friday.  I wish it was Friday.

I’m feeling very gloomy this morning.

Sometimes technology should be damned.  Things like not having to pay other people to develop your pictures are why I am now a cubicle monkey instead of sitting happily in my dark room, the reigning Lab Goddess.

Book orders were one of my very favorite things when I was a kid.  I remember how disappointed I was that you didn’t get to do them any more in middle school.

What the pine scented fuck?

Did I ever tell you about the –

Today is going to drag its ass like a three toed tree sloth.

Won’t mean a thing dear.

I don’t want soup.  I don’t know what I was thinking.   I don’t like soup.

See, it’s not like I work somewhere where I can still stand up in the middle of an extremely quiet room and yell VAGINA!

Why is the paperback cheaper than the eversion?  In what universe does that make sense?

sugarsugarsugarsugarsugar

Talking to Bruce Willis on the beach in Empire.  Better than the cliff dream.

Einsteins.  Still making me giggle.

It’s so foggy!

swoon.

It’s traditional.

Holy wow!  That’s not something you see – ever.

So sleepy.  So very very very sleepy.

Man, I love Chris Isaak.

Is there a window open?  Probably.

I definitely need more caffeine.  My brain is determined to slip me into a coma now that I can finally slow down.

Wordy wordy wordy.

I very badly need new glasses.  I’m actually having trouble seeing some things.

I’m an unstoppable poetic force.  Uh huh.

She has a very masculine face.

You’ll have to ignore the stupid commercial.  It’s Christmas time in Hollis.

You still owe me a cookie, Red.

I’m kinda cold.

Hungry.  Is dinner time, yes?

I think it’s time to throw out that plant.

Can it be?

I can’t help it, I’ve been busy.

The Dominion!  I do so love Gul Dukat.

She is just never going to spell that word correctly, is she?

The dog turned the tree around.

Baby, it’s not your sleigh ride.

It’ll be morning soon enough.  It’ll be morning all too soon.

Random Wednesday

yours is not the face i see

I don’t want to fight tonight.

cold and rainy

not robot girl

My right ear is all clogged up.  So that’s fun.

robot girl

You’re a bum.

I don’t have time to get sick.  No sick.  I refuse.

I did not break the database.

I can go home now, yes?

I didn’t have any crazy dreams this time.

This cookie is disappointing.  That’s what I get for giving in to temptation.

Something about arsenic?

Oh it must be time to talk about the weather.  Again.

Now I’ve completely forgotten what I was doing.

I need some money.

I am not sending blank emails.  You’re crazy.  Also that was funny.

Burn, baby, burn.

It’s hot in here.  I must actually be getting sick.

Walking wounded.

Must shoot card.

Mwah!

Radon, eh?

It won’t make any greatest hits albums.

bonfires

Well these drugs aren’t working at all.  I’m still entirely clogged.  Stupid cloggy cementy sinus crap.

I’m not going to get my Christmas break, am I?

After having seen Chris Isaak live, I love him even more.  I will go see him again.

Huh.

No iPod for you!

You can send me drunken office party texts.

Baby.

I’m never going to get this done.

Breathtaking!

Only one … that’s interesting.

I’m so hungry!

Zinc on an empty stomach was probably not my best idea ever.

Yes.  Yes I do need three weeks between semesters.

Jingling.  Mingling.

It’s the vanity.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if in life, you could pick the speed at which you were going to experience time?

twenty~three. (midnight)
Millennium ~ Season Two ~ Episode Eleven ~ Midnight of the Century

“Something about this time of year always makes me consider time. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if in life, you could pick the speed at which you were going to experience time? I would have it take forever for these kids to grow up – I don’t care if they didn’t like it. I’d have autumn go much slower; winter go a little faster. And the time that I was experiencing regret, I’d have go slower actually, so I could fix and leave the situation without regret. I’d like to know how much time I have left.” ~ Peter Watts

the happiest girl in the world

Last night while I was in Chris Isaak concert heaven with my momma, my favorite girl in the world was meeting her favorite author in the world, Johnathan Rand.  I was sorry to have missed it, but the Mister got this great picture of Miss W with the Chiller Man himself.  She got two new signed books.  Definitely the happiest girl in the world.  (ironically, the bookstore spelled his name wrong on their sign)
