| kitty is back! |
[29 Nov 2009|01:52pm] |
We got spider back after work last night. She was very happy to be out of her carrier, and the first things she did was eat most of her food and take a massive, loud piss in the litter box (this is GOOD news). And she's been more like herself all of today.
Expensive kitty. Happy kitty, back where she belongs.
Of course, Leila and Fionna are sniffing and hissing at her, but that's what you get for coming home with vet-smell on you. Things will be back to normal soon.

| spider update / black friday |
[28 Nov 2009|08:26am] |
Well, turned out she wasn't fine. She sat at the edge of the bed all night long, didn't go to the bathroom at all, didn't purr when i petted her, didn't eat. I said 'this is NOT good' and took her back to the vets. They've had her on IV, her old and new meds, and some pain meds, and have reported that she's coming back to normal and should be ready to come home this morning sometime. Of course, I have to work : P But I will be very glad to have Spider back. I miss our healer kitty.
Speaking of work, Black Friday was actually NOT as bad an experience as I thought it might be. A couple of weird-ass questions and jerky people, but not many. I was able to shelve and get things done, amazingly enough, and had a pretty darn good day.
Now we'll see how ebon saturday is ;)

(if that makes no sense, go read your Bible again)
Anyway. we had a great thanksgiving with my dad and Linda, and had to come back early because it looked like Lansing was going to get plowed with snow. The snow did not arrive, but it was a good thing we came back early as, between yesterday and today, Spider got really, really sick. So we took her to MSU Vets and it turns out she's got tapeworm, impacted anal glands (again!) and a possible case of bladder sludge... maybe. Tapeworm pills, the second dose of frontguard we got from the vets (for all kitties), and Clavamox are the solution, and we need to make sure she goes to the bathroom.
So yes, I am thankful for the wrong weather forecast.

| cards / thanksgiving / sci fi |
[25 Nov 2009|08:58am] |
It's the time of year to say we are thankful, and I am. I am thankful for old and new friends, my loves, my health, my opportunities, my kittehs, and the fact that things are pretty damn good.
the cards... were not so damn good when they first started up. There were many things that did not work and some tings that were not fixed so they COULD work. But by the time I got there, the problems were mostly fixed, and I AM thankful for that.
Tonight we're driving down to Dayton to spend Thanksgiving with dad and company. Tomorrow night we'll be driving back up here.
And Friday IS sci fi, as usual, even if there's nothing ON. Come join us at the usual time and we'll see what we can get up to :D
drive safe, eat well, thank one and all, love without hesitation.

| the cards! |
[24 Nov 2009|01:29pm] |
word from work: the cards seem to be working. there may have been some problems with the old cards going through the new way, but that seems to have been fixed. I expect I'll get a full reckoning when I get in and get to the registers.
And before anyone nags - yes, the flag is in play.

Today, we cook the Spaghetti Squash that was so generously donated by ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) the_gretal. We may also use some of the veggies generously donated by jadelady.
So do meatballs go well with spaghetti made from spaghetti squash? I think we should find out.

Been a couple of really good days and nights. And the cherry on top is this: published again in Pyramid, in their thaumatology issue.
Those of you who know me best will hardly be surprised to find that I found a horror tack and took it ; ) It's a short article by my standards, but The Book of Null should be fun if you're running some kind of quasi-medieval magic adventure with GURPS.

I was interviewed for RPG Countdown about my article, "The Nectar Box," in the most recent Pyramid.
You can listen to it here. That Pyramid's at #9 on the list, so I'm at about 3:38 in.

| silver key is back in da house! |
[12 Nov 2009|12:11am] |
As of this evening, I have a working computer again. Everything seems to be working - in fact it's moving better than it has in months.
The only oopsie was that they forgot to turn the volume control back on. Fortunately, I was able to figure out how to re-enable the driver. And we're in business once more ;D
Not bad for a two day turnaround, huh?

|
| well, so much for that theory |
[08 Nov 2009|10:10pm] |
I am writing this from the spare computer of thankfully rare usage. Silver Key is dead in the water, having been struck by something really damn nasty that will not let me run trend micro, download other security programs, or even restore. I fear a trip to Beast Buy is in the offing on the morrow. : (
This will perhaps teach me to leave well enough alone. Fuck. There goes nano.

| money and a meal (a good one at that) |

One of my favorite Monty Python episodes. Also has the Spanish Inquisition, if I'm not much mistaken.
We ate at Enso's tonight, and had a really good meal. A little pricey, but it's a really nice, semi-swank kind of place with decent portions, good beer on tap, fried portabellas to die for and some yummy chocolate mousse cups for dessert. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
I've been fighting another, even more intractable virus on my computer, which has taken time away from Nano. But them's the breaks.
