Still here: they were running behind because of an emergency.
Nothing obvious but they're concerned that she's dropped half a kilo since her last visit. Waiting on some blood results as I type.

Movie Review. Kick-Ass.

Thoughts on an R rating for a movie about violence and force perpetrated and suffered by children.

In real life children can suffer all the same horrors as adults and too often do. I really do think we should put our effort in protecting children from real life violence rather than fictional violence.

And maybe fictional violence can help children understand the world around them better.

I don't like violence, doesn't mean it's good to pretend it doesn't exist.

So this is the set up we have going. 2 boom boxes synced together on opposite sides of the room. When they die the big boys go on. 2 Philips hue overhead light globes in disco mode synced to the music. Microphone connected to the old computer speakers. Lyrics on the TV. I could get more flashing lights going but I don't want to. It's like a comfy night club for old people.

This is one of the computer speakers.

This reminds me, I tried to fix the speaker lag on my tv, can't fix it because it's wireless. πŸ™„

Am at the vet with Sammi - poor love has been vomiting on and off since yesterday and hasn't eaten more than a mouthful at a time.
Interestingly, she's been a lot calmer coming up since it was just her so I had her beside me on the passenger seat instead of behind me in the back seat like I normally do when I take both of them.
She was calmly sitting in her carrier watching the passing traffic until the practice cat came and now she's sitting up on alert. πŸ˜‚

I'm crashing after my morning caffeine hit! Argh!

This work week has been a GRIND. Almost there but I'll be crawling to the finish line. Then a week off next week, really looking forward to a short break. Thinking a second coffee is in order.

Some person has the audacity to call me for work related matters at 3:15 PM on a Friday......settle down sister. The work will still be there Monday

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I'm pretty sure that was my colleague calling you. She doesn't know the meaning.

2 nights ago I noticed some loud rumbling sounds in the kitchen. Was listening to music so thought it was a neighbour dragging heavy furniture.

Today it happened again. But I didn't wear headphones this time.

The culprit?

Our cat attacking the draught stop. She used all her strength to try to rip the thing off, resulting in the door, concrete wall, and the kitchen window 3 meters away to all rumble and rattle loudly.

I'd like to thank yesterday's me for baking banana cake. Yummy.
