The problem with studying while listening to music

is that I frequently stop studying to marvel at whatever I am listening to.  For example, right now, I am grooving to a Muddy Waters’ solo.

this is probably exacerbated by the fact I really don’t want to study right now.

How To Irritate The Hell Out of Oneself.

  1. Teach yourself to knit, English style.
  2. Once you are confident in knitting (1/2 way through a lacy scarf), google a few different things because you are thinking of making arm warmers and need to knit in a round. 
  3. Discover CONTINENTAL STYLE and realize it is more efficient, at least in my brain.
  4. Start trying to teach self Continental Style.
  5. Throw knitting project across the room.
  6. Go to bed.

I hate it when I accidentally post to the wrong blog.

Please Note

2001: A Space Odyssey’s opening is very inappropriate for those who are deaf and hard of hearing, and likely other people who do not expect TWO WHOLE MINUTES of a blank screen while suspenseful sounds slowly crescendo.

#for the first bit I couldn't hear anything! #and I had my hearing aids on! #then I turned it up #and now I am being deafened by Thus Spoke Zathustra #And likely so is my neighbour #This is a post with many tags

I am incapable of making pancakes that  don’t look defective.

At least they taste good?

hack, hack, cough, whine.

This is the general description of myself this week.  Well that and repeatedly popping my ears.

FYI - small children carry diseases and when you spend time with them, sometimes they get those diseases on you.

#sick #the kids are cute; the cold is not #post-thanksgiving woes

I went through the entire Thanksgiving without eating meat (I am primarily a vegetarian), and was perfectly happy.  Now that I am home, and in possession of meatless leftovers, I am COMPLETELY craving a hot turkey sandwich.

“Are you sure you’re not pregnant?” —Response from three different people, including one grocery store checkout clerk, upon hearing that I am sick. Made me feel like I’m not allowed to throw up without people bringing my fertility into it. (via microaggressions)

So so true. I have not been allowed to mention nausea since I was SIXTEEN without someone suggesting pregnancy often multiple times. No. Shut up. And even if I WERE? What makes you think its any of your business?

I bought an automatic feeder for my cats because when I am not working from home their current feeding schedule (3! Times! A day! Due to one of them being overweight and the fact that special little kitty princesses don’t like it when their wet food is left out too long). Anyway, they don’t quite get it yet? That the machine makes a sound! And food appears! And I do not have to be involved at all!

The panic and confusion they have when I go to bed without feeding them is endearing.

One of my Cats Totally Just Took TWO Bites From My Lentil Vegetable Pocket.

I seem to bring out the strangest tastes in cats.  I had one (who has passed away) who loved granola bars (came RUNNING when he heard me opening the wrapper), I have one who loves olives and greek salad dressing (separately, though I presume, also together) and then the one whom I thought was an ordinary cat food eater apparently has a thing for vegan bread and filling.

Huh.
