Hummingwolf Today

[hummingwolf]

Now wearing: Blue jeans starting to fray at the bottoms; faded black blouse with diagonal row of buttons; year-old formerly orange, silver, and-white shoes with holes in them; reddish socks; crooked glasses; and, surprisingly, less boring underwear than usual (the panties have pink and purple flowers).

First major accomplishment today: Dragging myself out of the house. I so wanted to go back to bed.

Second major accomplishment: Picking up a prescription for the lowered dose of medication. This should not have been difficult, except the bottle of pills was missing and the folks at the pharmacy kept asking me if I was sure nobody had picked up the prescription already.

Third major accomplishment: Buying two pairs of jeans & two nightgowns at the Salvation Army. I really should have gotten more clothes, but I hate clothes shopping and I hope that taking the lower dose of the drug will mean I lose some of the mass I've gained in the last nine months, or at least the volume, so I'd prefer not to buy too much in the meantime. (And for those who might not know me very well: No, I'm not pregnant. Yes, I'm sure.)

Latest book purchase: The Portable Dorothy Parker, also from the Salvation Army store. Keep seeing her quoted everywhere, but I've never actually read an entire essay or story by her because the library doesn't have any.

Miles walked: At least two, probably more like three. Feels like it was a zillion.

Last meal eaten: A turkey & cheese sandwich I bought at the convenience store after coming home and discovering that there was no way to use the kitchen tonight. Also bought a package of "Chocolate Mix" Skittles which resemble chocolate as much as regular Skittles resemble fruit. Fortunately, I wasn't really in the mood for chocolate.

Found yesterday while searching for images of Adrian Paul: Awww.

Music of the day: Some classic 1980s prog-pop from Giraffe.

Utterly useless quiz result of the day:

Your Score: Zn... Zinc

You scored 15 Mass, 36 Electronegativity, 68 Metal, and 0 Radioactivity!

You have a strong sense of the communal good and you aren't too demanding. You know better than to mess with the powers that be. You value being surronded by the right people, but don't care too much about what people beyond your group think of you. You are also the last element to be mentioned in every vitamin commercial, and have gained recognition throughout the 50+ community as the very symbol of "completeness." Hmm, you might be good at taking care of sick people, but that might be hogwash too.

No no, that can't be right! I must be radioactive!! I was raised by a nuclear physicist, for Pete's sake!!!

Somehow, I feel like I've betrayed my roots.

Damn, I was going to ask you "What are you wearing?" and you had to go and totally make a pre-emptive strike.

Haha! Geek boys are silly. :-)

I am actually a scheming MST3K alien, and part of my designs for Total World Domination involve you.

Just so you know.

*waggles eyestalks at you*

Ha! I'll have you know that in spite of my supposed lack of radioactivity, I'm not as harmless as I seem. It is not so easy to work me into your schemes as you suppose!

Unless there are cookies, that is. Good chocolate-chip cookies might get me to reconsider.

Well I was thinking more along the lines of using my super secret Shiny Neuron-Zapping Device, specially designed to enslave the will of humans. But cookies will do. :P

couldn't deal with 18 difficult questions so i stopped the quiz after the 1st page . . . so i found out i was strawberry ice cream.

your previous quiz about sci fi authors was popular.

Well, I have no problem answering 18 questions on silly quizzes if I expect the answer to be completely meaningless in an entertaining enough way. :-)

perhaps you have a healthier attitude towards quizzes than
i do and don't view them as oracles/addictive drugs. ;P

Huh. I came up with sodium. So I'm not radioactive, I'm not a lightweight, but I tend to combust in the presence of oxygen.


And why the heck does my dictionary not have the word "combust" in it?

I used to use a word processor which was unable to recognize any word beginning with "bro." The ways of computers are strange.

At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer. - Dijkastra

I'm just wondering what kind of half-ass dictionary wouldn't know the word "combust". It also didn't know "okay".

Hee!

I had intended to blame it on "whoever wrote the dictionary for that software," but "computer" is so much shorter.
