reminds me of the doc that gave me the physical for my air force scholarship...

*shudders*

morning all...i see i get stuck with the chair with the wobbly leg again...*sigh*

*wanders through the ORPCCv2, finds prrr balances precariously in the wobbly chair, stuffs a tattered kilt mag under the offending chair leg thus rescuing prrr from a certain clash with gravity. Makes a yummy cup of coffee with B's french press, sits sideways in the comfy chair in the sun with coffee and package of Oreos*

Morning all.

ooh, coffee and oreos

breakfast of champions

I haz brownies for breakfast.

brownies are an acceptable substitute

yes, I think so

hmmm... me thinks i need to make some brownies today

Hey guys. I've been neglecting you all.

I grind my own beans, btw. I don't know what a french press is, but I do have an espresso machine. I am a bit of a coffee snob.

I'll grind some beans for you, boston.

Hallo folks.

Neuro, how'd the exam go?

Boston, you're your old self again.

Hallo, OT. I'll be invading in 1month1week1day. Fear for your country. Feaarrrr.

Someone tell me what a french press is!!!

Is it what we would call an espresso machine?

This is what mine looks like:


Kinda. Different model though.

Evening reppers, I have been social and done Bonfire Night with the family, but there's only so long you can spend in a cold wet garden looking at (pretty dismal) fireworks. So I'm home now.

Good morning, reppers. All this talk of french presses and grinding beans, and I'm such a savage the mancandy had to train me out of drinking instant. And I still will, if 'real' coffee inconveniences me to make more than instant will.

Also, neither Friday nor Saturday nights were Guy Fawkes. Enough with the fireworks. Every time a loud one goes off, I wonder whether we've finally done it and Fiji has decided to coup here too.

*waits for coffee to finish brewing and rues not keeping an emergency supply of instant*

I don't know. Okay, I hope. I was wishing they'd split it up differently, because I had 2 questions I was comfortable answering out of the answer-one-question section, and one out of the answer-two-questions section. Oh, and writing 3 essays in 2 hours sucks, and my left hand is now an atrophied claw. But it's the grade that counts.

We had our bonfire night tonight because
a. It was absolutely peeing down on Thursday
b. The kids don't have school tomorrow and so could have a late night.

I think most people thought the same.

Yeah, same here.

We tried to have fireworks last night but the kids fell asleep on me before it even got dark.

We'll have to wait until they're older, I think.

Bah humbug. An escape artist dog who'd run away for days at the slightest fizzle meant we never had fireworks when I was a kid. The only ill-effect I suffered was a flagrant disregard for the 5th of November.

I kid. Blow up the pretty lights if you want. Just accept that some tired, sick students with exams on aren't going to be happy about the sleep disturbance.

*sets off bottle rockets and whistlers under Neuro's window and giggles*

....uh....well...Angie did it...the monkey helped.

*rolls a clunker onto DL's lawn and sets it on blocks*

Boston did it! *hides behind the bushes making MSC noises*

Actually I'd believe that. He has no interest in cars. What's wrong with that sheep. And he thinks a kilt is a security blanket. *shakes head....then shoots bottle rockets into the bushes* take that you black weresheep

*scarpers, backside on sparkly, colourful fire, spawning a trail of tiny, screeching bananas*

I hope you still drink tea. You can do what you want with coffee, but there should be tea

And eek, not only do I hate essay exams, and choose x-number exams, but I also hate claw atrophy exams. Been there, hope I never go back. Short answer makes me groan enough.

You're almost free though.

Random: I'm stuck in Texas and my birds may or may not be completely neglected in Oklahoma. Do I drive 8 hours to find out and get them sorted and drive back in time for 8am 'class' on Monday or do I keep begging people to find a truck and go save them. Urgh.

Ooh, you know what I like? Multiple-guess exams. Multiple-choice, I mean. Yes. Choice. *nods convincingly*

Hope your budgies are okay, Brat.

I have nothing to add but that I like the word mancandy....

I love me some multiple guess.

I have a headache and I am seriously considering driving back 'home' and then driving back tomorrow. They'll understand me missing a few hours or a day when my birds might be sol...

Blah.
