B'day... like G'day but less Aussie and more related to getting old

So, Second of June, I should really turn over my calendar...
Oooh, it's Sir Ian. Yey!

Also, today is grandad's birthday, so... though he'll never read this, Happy Birthday Grandad. 89 today. Your quiet pragmatic avoidance of grandmaternal confontation is, I believe, the key to spending extended amounts of time in her presence without killing her. And all you ask for in return is a freshly made bed every Wednesday. It's a small price for sanity, even if you do refuse to wear your hearing aid and like to watch TV news at full volume.

So yeah. 89. Good going.

Really don't have much else to say offhand. Kat's steaming because she's just discovered that (due to some sneaky legeslative wrangling that the South African Govornment didn't tell anyone about) she has, in all probability, lost her South African citizenship. The SA Gov't make a big-assed hoo-hah about not wanting people to leave, but apparently as soon as they do then it's goodbye forever and the doors are slammed. Which I find odd as you'd think they'd want to make it easy to get all these people-they-don't-want-to-leave back into the country again should they decide to come back.

But then I don't even pretend to understand what goes on in that country, I have trouble enough keeping up with events that transpire in my own, and things here usually aren't that complicated. :/

In vain, she said. Oh, so vain...

I am so freakin' full. Made plum and aple crumble this afternoon, because we had a lotta' both leftover and going a lil' squishy in the fruit bowl, and now I've eaten way the hell too much of it.

*burps*

Actually I'm a little too overstuffed. *smacks self* Ohh, for I just cannot pass up the sugar-laden goodies... >.<


Someone please, take away my oven pans... *le sigh*


I should go do sometrhing useful. Like put another coat on the walls or something. First coat went on around lunchtime and it didn't cover all that obtrusive yellow. In fact, not even the second coat covered it... Could be easily be looking at 4 coats for a uniform finish cause GOD that yellow will just not vanish. O_o
Need to do all the edging too, but after the white's finished it's really just the floor that needs dealing with and the replacement of the light fixture. Then it's really just finishing touches and the big-assed expensive job of furniture. :/

That'll be the slow part.

(Yeah, cause just painting didn't take me long enough. God...)

:p

In the grand tradition -

Given my total failure to write... well... anything at all lately. Behold, for a change I'm posting ( uninspired wallpaper instead! )

1024x768 only, and I can't claim as I'm super impressed or anything cause it came out nothing like I was hoping in the back of my skull. Probably would have helped to have a clearer mental image but *meh* s'better than nothing and all that.
*shakes head at self*

This is me... utterly dispassionate tonight. *sigh*

I'm suffering stuck-in-a-rut-ittude again. Chasing something and coming up perpetually short. Suggestions on a postcard please, because I'm buggered if I know what it is.

Char's end of year show is on the 8th. Hopefully gonna' go see that. Be nice to get out for a while I think.

*pokes brain* GAH! Work damn you!

*jumps up and down*
