Even my llama is for Obama. *stalking?
I cannot get enough vegemite today. Had a big glob on the only rice cake I had (I love rice cakes… mmm) and that wasn’t enough so I’ve been eating globs of vegemite off my finger. I’m too lazy to get a spoon or something. So so good and full of goodness.
I had ants in my pants this afternoon. Literally. Ants crawling up my leg! It was creepy, because I’m used to the feeling of something crawling all over me, but there is not normally actually something there! There was also a creepy giant flying ant in here when Jake was on his lunch break. It sounded like Jake was rubbing his bare feet together, but I finally turned around to investigate the noise and saw the creepy bug repeatedly flying into the ceiling. I have no idea how it managed to get in here, I thought I had trapped all the ways for flying things to get in. Crawling things, the entire kitchen has a gap along the edges. I really hope that the next place we live, whoever made it used a level. Nothing in here lines up with anything else. I have to ignore it constantly, or I would have gone (more) insane a long time ago.
I think my DS is starting to die. A long time ago the lid stopped staying open by itself, the flip is too smooth and happens all the time unless I hold it up. Now, if the lid ‘opens’ all the way, the top screen turns white. At first it was white for a second and then the image came back, now it doesn’t. So I have to sit with something behind the DS screen so it can’t flip back too far. Yargh.
Jake is still at work, they are having a birthday party for one of the waitresses. I’d be down there, but my hair massively needs a wash. Or maybe not massively, but I feel like it does, I don’t know if it looks bad or not. I time my hair-washing with when we go out in the world, and tomorrow is groceries and Jake-getting-a-shave, otherwise I would’ve washed my hair last night. I always feel like such an antisocial bitch not going to parties that are right downstairs, but they always are timed so that I feel (or actually am!) really gross.
Food Network keeps making delicious looking sandwiches. Ham and cheese with cranberry spread? Ooh, it looks so weird and awesome. And now someone is making roasted tomatoes. Mmm. I wish I knew what is for dinner. Last night was leftovers, tomorrow is grocery shopping, so tonight is… whatever we can come up with using the bits and pieces we have. Or ramen, if I’m feeling extra lazy.
My title is, perhaps, the greatest and most amusing bumper sticker I have ever seen. Especially because of the farm just down the street. Jake, is it an alpaca farm or a llama farm? Either way, amusing animals. And therefore amusing and potentially truthful bumper sticker.
And now for the edited part of this entry! Woo! More words!
I adore this tree. It’s so… odd looking. (That little egg-shaped bush in the front? It gets decorated for just about everything. I always miss photo ops though)
So… this afternoon, on our walk, we were barely away from our apartment and something kinda creepy-weird happened. A car turned around and stopped in the t-intersection we were approaching. As we got closer, I noticed the woman in the car had what looked like a camera in front of her, and pointed at us. At first I thought it was just because we were walking in front of the pretty church… but the camera followed us as we walked past the church and then past her car. As soon as we got past the passenger door, the car took off. Massive WHAT THE.
My first reaction was "huh, guess she wanted a picture of Jake’s tshirt" ….but… that doesn’t really make much sense. Even if it was his shirt that says DAMN STRAIT on it (last time we were at CostCo, an old guy that worked there asked Jake where Damn Strait is… heh) and is therefore an amusing play on words.
I can’t think of a time you have ever looked gross. You are beautiful always.

“I cannot get enough vegemite today.” I keep hearing about how awesome vegemite is… but I have no idea what it actually is other than some sort of tasty sandwich spread. “It sounded like Jake was rubbing his bare feet together, but I finally turned around to investigate the noise and saw the creepy bug repeatedly flying into the ceiling.” Oh, I know EXACTLY what sound you’re talking about! We got one of those in the house once and it got stuck between the curtain and the window and the sound was so WEIRD!!! (We also have ants around here… CRC ordered something she’d heard about called ‘Liquid Terro Traps’ and wow, they are amazing! I’m never going back to the other kinds. Within 48 hours they were ALL gone and we haven’t seen an ant since we put them out about two weeks ago!) “And now someone is making roasted tomatoes.” Dang, now I want a tomato sandwich… too bad the local store has really nasty produce. *shudders* I’m not driving ten miles for a decent tomato. *hehehe* 🙂 ~Shady

I laughed for ages over your title. Mmm…ham and cheese and cranberry sounds ultimately awesome. Hearing you complain about your place makes me want to as well, our cottage gets gross mould all around the window edges, like the windows are letting wet in but they are shut. I hate our dodgy windows and the bathroom was built with no way to get rid of steam. It gets gross…
Warning Comment
I have to have the bathroom door open during showers to let it escape into the hall but it doesn’t and paint is peeling and mould is ten-fold in there. You and I like things a certain way and you understand how much it annoys me to see the bathroom go crappy coz the landlord was lazy. Oh and you already know I’m antisocial, I also plan “extra efforts” in advance.

ryn: talking about surprise cherry ripes, I meant to tell you you know those peanut butter cups you gave me in US, I found them in my fridge the other day. It was a SURPRISE of “I didn’t know they were still around”…they’re old and probably not the best. J had them since I got back and I had assumed he’d eaten them all.

Vegemite, Nutella……arugh…what happened to good old peanut butter, haha? I am going to make my own spread. *nods*

Cool tree! My friends (Kisa and The Alpha) have a big tree in their yard like that, only not as cool-looking and a lot greener. They had to clear out another building on the property so the fire department came out to burn it down… and singed the leaves/needles (I can’t remember) off of half the tree! It was completely accidental, but they got it perfectly half-and-half and it looked SO coolfor a while! *laughs* Eww, creepy stalker lady! *shudders* I agree, MASSIVE WTF! If you want a photo of someone’s t-shirt (hopefully that’s all it was) there are FAR more subtle ways of getting one than parking your ass in an intersection and tracking someone with a camera for a full minute. (I’m assuming this went on for more than just a few seconds.) ~Shady RYN: “Caramel filled chocolate koala?” *drools over both the flavor and the cuteness factor* “It’s a very salty spread, made from the stuff left over from making beer.” Vegamite is Beer Poop?!? *laughs ass off* I always thought it would be a nut spread or jam made from veggies instead of fruit or something. *giggles* Now I want to try some just to say I’ve tried it.

That is one creepy tree. Man, if the strange picture lady would have happened to me I would have turned around and ran. I am way to paranoid to be that calm.

oooh edit. It’s like when I was in the cemetary on my bday and this stalky pigeon was er…stalking me. I took his photo at first and then he kept following me. I caught up to J and he pointed out the pigeon wasn’t far behind. He would sit on headstones, posing all proud like. On the bus to Youghal, we played spot the pigeon and everytime we saw one it flew off like they were spies off to report..
Warning Comment
back to their leader the cemetary pigeon. Wait, it’s not the same as creepy camera lady at all! If I were there I would of knocked on her window and demanded she explain herself. Coz I’m brave and arrogant when it come to friends being bothered. You know that. Hope the pigeon story cheered you up though. ryn: FX has like two double eps of NCIS a day, and doubles of new ones once a week.

oh btw, if I stare at that tree photo long enough it stops being a tree and becomes a huge cliff face instead, with little ledges and gripping rocks all the way up. It’s like a 3D magic, except I can see it without hurting my eyes and pouting until someone points out the other image. Hurrah! I dub thee tree Cliff.

Interesting day you had. Hm that lady was odd.

That tree looks as though it has roots hanging down instead of branches and leaves. I hope weird photographing lady is actually working for the local paper and if your photograph appears you have to contact the paper and win a prize.

Gorgeous gorgeous GORGEOUS monstrous tree. And the eggie bush, AWW. Very weird about the woman in the car with the camera. She probably found the Sezjake very photogenic. Which they are. 😀 LOL damn strait! XDDD Would’ve been worse if it was ‘Dam Strait’ though…
