clickies (plus an unsent letter or two)

dear left hip.
STOP with the trying to secede from the body. this is not on. seriously. also encouraging the knee to go along with you? umno.

dear vitamin d tablets
you are small and round and exceedingly swift in escaping. bah.

dear percocet
i love you. let's be friends!

If you're familiar with Catherynne M. Valente's work, then you know how awesome this is: if you're not, but like reading fantastic myths and tales and fables, you should read her work - or you can listen to her read her two-volume epic (it really is one) here. The podcast updates every week - sunday night or monday, I think - and you can download earlier parts there as well. The first two parts are up. This book is AMAZING. Top ten list material. (plus she has another book coming out next month if I remember right.

From my ... erm, beloved ... and rather peculiar ... spouse: Burger King Flame (tm) cologne.

Um.

Yeah.

And from the marvelous foxestacado: Otto the Octopus wreaks havoc. It sounds like a children's book, doesn't it? It's not, but it totally could be.

reminder to self: purchase dry/moist heat massaging heating pad from Rite Aid on payday. (no, i don't know what brand: i saw it on the shelf. Will run reconnasance mission/do review of product on payday (1/15) because I love you and want you to be happy.

local people?

Three things I forgot to put in the last post, of interest to local people (i don't make enough of these posts to need a local filter).

a. anyone familiar with the seattle scrabble club? mystic_savage pointed it out. It sounds like fun - anyone want to go with me sometimes?

b. I think it was sirriamnis that asked me about going to the children's museum at some point? (if it's not, i'm terribly sorry; i know it was someone I met at the Hothouse in this most recent gathering and I'm awful with names). Want to do that sometime MLK day or MLK day weekend? (depending on your work schedule; i know tallin has that day off and so do the schools ...) (edit: it was tiggirl and the_misha. brain running at 70% today? have not done brain calisthenics.

c. I'll ask before checking Craigslist because sometimes this works better: has anyone got a dresser that they aren't using? Mine broke down in the last place and I've been living out of milk crates which occasionally attack. will pay money + gas money (can't pick up) for sure.
