Seismic Twitch

Bran (Thomas) phoned while I was in the shower. He told Boy that he’s feeling much better now. He’s not up to jumping out of 3rd floor windows into snow drifts, but much better regardless.

I shall be going to visit him in a little while. I’ll let you all know what rules CCU has around visiting and which room he’s in. I’m sure that he’ll enjoy getting visitors.

Now I’m off to pack up some toiletries and such for him. I don’t know how long they’re going to hold onto him, so I have to plan for a bit of a stay.

Thank you, friends, for your concern and such. I’ll be sure to let him know.

Stole this from a friend (originally wrote fiend) who mostly blogs for friends only, so I won’t mention who she is. She’ll know when she sees this that I snagged it to her.

The sun conure, Bodie, who lived at work, died today under mysterious circumstances. He was fine yesterday when I left work and today was found on the floor acting out of character. He had a viscid orange substance on his beak. Sadly, he died later in the day. I asked staff to look at the camera to see if someone had maltreated him before her arrival. He was under 5 (they live 15-20 years) and the orange unknown substance on his beak is suspicious. He wasn’t one to take food if it wasn’t fresh fruit or nut meat.

In honour of Bodie (I liked him even if few others did) I put this comic from xkcd. He’s appreciate the humour, if only he understood.

Joyous Yule to my Pagan friends, (I’m late, but better late than never, right?)

Merry Christmas to my Christian friends.

Happy Friday to my friends who are neither.

Bran has started a new blog. He’ll be posting daily photos. Today was the first one.

It appears that I’m taking one without announcing it. I’ll be back when I feel I have something to say. I’ll also be taking a break from reading blogs. I’ll still tweet once in a while.

In the meantime, CONGRATULATIONS VUBOQ!!! I hope your new job is as fabulous as you are!

• It snowed last week. There’s still snow on the ground.
• I got sets 11, 12 and 13 of Midsomer Murders. I’d already had set 4 and 9. I’m waiting to get The Early Cases that we’ve ordered from London Drugs.
• I’m very nearly well. I cough once in a while and have to blow my nose a little more often than when I’m totally well, but I’m nearly there.
• Bran and Boy are both sick with the cold.
• I cut my fingernails today.
• We had dim sum for Thanksgiving. It was delicious and I was very thankful.

That’s all I can think of right now. If you’re bored go and read Passive/Aggressive Notes. That’ll keep you amused for a while.

I tried to post this prior to the first problems with server errors.

Now, onto the piece de resistance.

Jimmy Carter has cut ties with the Southern Baptists. I wish he’d said this while he was President of the United States.

Please go to the site to read what he said. For some reason every time I quote it here the server refuses to publish it. I don’t know why. It’s driving me crazy. Anyway, go read it.

I just did a long posting updating people what I’ve been up to and it published as it should.

Then I go into the edit posts to publish one that I’ve had on hold since my server issues started and I get the error again. Then I delete the post (after copy/pasting it to Notepad) and start it all over again, figuring that there’s something attached to that entry that is causing a problem – hey, it could happen – and I get the server error.

Things are just weird.
