It’s cold here. We took all the nonskid off the deck in the windlass room. Now we have to put more on. It was a pain in the ass and very noisy. I got all covered in white dust.
Also I went and saw Alice in Wonderland. Good movie. Funny. I thought it was funnier than it was supposed to be, but the Mad Hatter was giving off strong vibes of Captain Jack Sparrow. Plus, most of the humor was of the ‘accidental’ variety, and pretty dark, which is the type I enjoy. Plus, the movie was extremely well-written and barely reminded me of the Disney animated version at all.
How many hours got senselessly slaughtered?
(And did anyone keep any trophies?)
Don't worry; I'm certified.
Plane just arrived at gate. In a little under a half-hour I'll know whether it's an early middle seat or a later exit-row aisle.
How are you?
Many of them, but not senselessly. You see, if you kill them they just go away (no trophies possible), but if you let them pile up instead, they really weight heavily on you.
That’s hardly fair.
Like a zombie hour dogpile on a helpless victim.
*darn*
How interesting. It’s 50 and raining here, going to be chilly tonight. My foot was hurting when I ran earlier. I’m planning to ignore it; you can’t let your extremities push your around.
We’re feeling better, sorta. Frank didn’t spew last night.
Answer my fReepmail!
Last time I did something like that, I ended up staying in boot camp for an extra month.
I have a sore throat, but I think it’s from the dust. It gets better when I leave the ship. Or else I’m having an allergic reaction to MELLON.
Spritz it with Sol-U-Mel. I can have some shipped to you ;-).
I was spraying hand sanitizer around, because LTJG Aarons gave me some. I think it was a freebie from some visitor, because she had a whole bunch and was just handing them to people.
I don’t know if it worked, but I got it all over Cousins. That was, at the time, mildly amusing.
Ash is having a Drama ... your dad won’t share his sandwich with her.
Have Frank read a book to Ash, that will cure it.
Maybe.
I have some off days too.
I’ll bring Ash a snack of some variety. Possibly a set of zombie figures. She’ll like those, after the boys are done playing with them.
(They come in packages, like toy Army men. Glow-in-the-dark and/or needlessly detailed gore.)
Here has been especially “fun” today.
I think the greyhound agency would object to that. You’re supposed to be nice to them.
Just make sure there’s nothing she or Frank can choke on.
Hmm.
They’re kind of small, but not as small as the plastic bugs people are always trying to get the bearded dragons to eat. Should be fine. And if not, I can bring another game. I’m considering one wherein you pretend to be a ninja and deliver hamburgers.
Frank would be nice, and Ash would get some sleep.
Yes, it would be artificially induced narcoleptic activity, but Ash would get plenty of rest out of the deal.
And greyhounds do need plenty of rest.
(Ash can probably see right through this ploy.)
Like that Popple song, “Henry the Ninja.” Anything that makes people think about getting a job is good ...
I have to go change Frank and then get the crowd of byos to bed. Go have a cheezburger or two!
Maybe James can read her the Complete Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs. Puts me right to sleep.
