Raithe Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Storm blew part of my roof off, and triggered the security failsafe on my front door so I can't lock/unlock it! Sounds like someone is stuck at home behind some defences.. Perfect for the zombie apocalypse? The important question is.. Do you have supplies of food, alcohol, and secured internet access?

Tale Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Cute little furball Do the cat and dog get on? They ignore each other. Now the other dog (not pictured), that's another matter. She wants to play with the cat since they're about the same size. The cat doesn't like that. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

LadyCrimson Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's always great to see friends/family you haven't seen in a while, but being the extreme introvert I am, it can also be exhausting...when such things last all day. At least I don't have to get up early tomorrow to beat traffic out of the city. And it's fun to get home and have Mr. Needy the black cat sitting by the door, yowling in greeting before we even get the key in the lock. Edit: P.S. Soft white goat cheese tastes terrible. It was like cream cheese, but with a strange plastic+bitter grass flavor underneath. I remember years and years and years ago having a glass of semi-warm goat milk (fresh from a goat, not a packaged bottle). Which was equally weird tasting. Yup, I prefer cow milk. “Things are as they are.

Nepenthe Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Last night's date was somewhat less unsuccessful than the one from week before, but still rather far from a resounding success. Oh well, I knew it was going to be a slog after the two-three years in the research cubicle. Happily I'm not going to run out of prospects in the near future and new ones are showing up, too. So, nursing a fairly epic hangover and suddenly seeing the appeal of CoD like I've never seen without alcohol. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

So yeah, I kind of have to keep things moving now. Pfft I have 2 years on you, young 'un. There are always good excuses to be found why dating isn't a good idea at the time When I refer to the time I spent as a graduate student, it's not a question of excuses. I literally (and I mean literally) had no life outside the work. Eat, sleep, ****, read, type. OTOH, I completed it in near-record time just so that I could have that thing done.

Gorth Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 Behold, the Hand of Gorth We have this little Australian Water Dragon showing up at work regularly at lunch time. We've tried feeding it turkey, chicken, ham, lots of stuff, but apparently nothing beats cheese They love cheese so much that they overcome their shyness and eat out of your hand. Did a still from a video I made featuring the lizard and yours truly (and some cheese) and cropped it. 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gorth Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 So I guess not everything in Australia will kill you instantly then. Not everything. If it has 8 legs, it's 50/50. If it has no legs, stay away from it. For the rest, it's trial an error Edit to add: If it has tentacles, stay away from it too.
