Stuff

July 16, 2009

1. Butt-licking facilitation has been achieved! Juno got to the goods today – at last! I can’t tell you how relieved I am!

2. I have been sending out some postcards lately, and I’ve come to the sad realization than Rossland has a pathetic postcard selection. There might be a total of five different postcards of Rossland scenery available. It’s getting boring and I might be sending out duplicates (if you get a duplicate, I am so sorry). What do I do about this? Whom do I inform?

3. All I have requested for my upcoming significant birthday is an Alice Cooper T-shirt. Decent Alice T-shirts, I have come to realize via some research, are not as easily come by as I’d thought. Other than that, I’m pretty stumped. I have a few ideas, but nothing that really grabs me, though. Piercings, couch, tattoos…Gale Harold covered in chocolate sauce…maybe…I don’t know.

4. I love Last.fm so much I can barely stand it.

5. This was great. My Dawn of Destiny …Begins CD (previously blogged about here) arrived yesterday from Amazon.ca. I was so excited I could barely wait to get home and rip it open. I tore open the box and took off the shrink wrap. I queued up my CD player, opened the CD case, and…there was no CD in the case! The CD cover was there, but no CD. Like – literally no CD – anywhere. I nearly cried. I immediately went to Amazon.ca, filled out a return request, printed off a label, got the box ready to return, etc., only to get an email back a couple hours later telling me to not bother returning the the CD case and that a replacement CD would be sent to me ASAP. Except, ASAP means in a few weeks because this is a special order CD that probably comes from DOD’s homeland of Germany. Expected delivery date is about a month from now. On the up side, I did find a copy of DOD’s Rebellion in Heaven at the Sonic Cathedral for a decent price, so I used my PayPal and ordered it. It was mailed from the USA on Monday and hopefully I should have it soon.

6. My garden this year is sucking the big one. I’ll get beans, maybe some cilantro, but that’s about it. Spinach = toast. Arugula = toast. Lemon balm = not even toast; it never had the chance to become toast in the first place. Chives = toast. Basil = see lemon balm. If I get any pattypan squash or spaghetti squash I’ll be shocked.

    Congrats to Juno! That didn’t take long at all, although I’m sure it seemed like an eternity.

    Sorry about the garden. My garden is a little blah this year too. I’ve got some work to do.

    What kind of gods in all their wisdom return a cat to his buttlicking ways but cause their human owners to have limp gardens and empty CD cases? You need to kill a chicken or get a bucket of chicken to take this JU JU off you. I am afraid for you now.

    Butt-licking facilitation: this always makes me laugh!

    Sorry about your garden, I know it’s been an important task for you. don’t lose hope though! Plant some bulbs in there instead. They can withstand the heaviest snowfalls.

    Mmmmmmmmmm…toast….. love the toast. But you are still, even with that sorry description of your garden, doing much better than I am. Really. Deer always eat our garden so I gave up.

    Bummer about the CD. Sounds like you have my luck.

    Life is good when Juno can reach her fanny and you’re ecstatic about Last FM.

    Bummer about the CD, though.

    Glad to hear the little guy is feeling better. That was so scary.. I dont do gardens. I should take a photo of the one in our back yard that was here when we moved in and I didnt take care of it. I need to get some of that stuff that kills it and try again or tear it out completely..

    Brightest: thanks for the link – that’s awesome! I’d never have thought look on Amazon.com! Yes, that is an excellent selection – better than on Alice’s merchandise site.

    Come to think of, I don’t think I’ve seen an Alice Cooper tee. Ever.
