- Someone's fuck up 7 years ago is possibly going to cost us a LOT of money now. AWESOME. #
- Just saw a boy on the phone get pantsed by his friends. He was wearing MC Hammer trousers so deserved it. #
- Warmed up leftover gravy from the oven tray to pour over the cats' slow-roasted ox heart, now the house smells of stew. #crazycatlady #
- My boy's sexy vagEYEna is very popular on Reddit today – http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/b5v9f/chat_roulette_eye_vagina/ #
- @thattommyhall i ate 3 bits of lettuce with my giant pile of jerked chicken & dumplings – that means i had a healthy salad for lunch, right? in reply to thattommyhall #
- @andatche no probs, glad it fits :) in reply to andatche #
- Bloody hell, I've been disturbingly productive today. #
- Had a hypnopompic nightmare about coleslaw. Now off to meet some cat-friendly doggies in Liverpool, woo! #
- Met an ace dog today. :D #
Categorylife
The general parent category for most of the things I write about on here.
One of the more interesting Louisa-centric sub-categories is biodata (where I explore my personal history with graphs, maps and whatnot), and if you’re that way inclined, you can read about the wonderful felines and canines with whom I’ve shared my life too.
1. We go to the rescue centre expecting to meet one dog but end up meeting another one. We can’t stop stroking her back – it’s unbelievably soft.
2. In my mum & dad’s attic, I find games and toys from my childhood and John gushes that he had the same things too. We liberate an old chair, some board games, a soldering kit and vintage macrame shopping bag from their extraneous existence.
3. The drive home from Southport is always filled with chatter. Discussion in the dark.
1. We sit around the table, our fingers sticky with spicy gravy, laughing and telling stories.
2. The light reflects off her eyes and her silky fur as she sits proudly in the doorway.
3. After the big lunch, I don’t have time for dinner so I pack myself a tub of cheese, crackers & olives.
1. I look at the menu but know in my heart I’ll get the same thing I always do – the chorizo and potato salad with baby spinach, a poached egg and red pepper aioli. If they added cheese and a cat to it, it would be all of my favourite things in one shiny white bowl.
2. Joe’s all smiles when I return him to his favourite lady after her haircut. All smiles and sticking his tongue out. Today’s the day he discovered he has control over the floppy thing in his mouth and boy, is it fun to stick it out into the open.
3. The cats, circling my ankles, call out to me to hurry up as I sliced the freshly roasted ox heart into smaller chunks for them.
- Awesome weekend – combined blasts of super productivity with many, many hours of game play. :D #
- Vet prodding & poking him until his tummy gurgled=£25; blood test=£45; to be told there doesn't seem anything wrong with him = so worth it. #
- @strowger78 the vet could tell just by looking at him that there is clearly something wrong with john in reply to strowger78 #
- I love past louisa, I really do. In Nov 2004, she blogged about something which saved me having to dig through boxes of stuff today. Aceness #
- @jeremyjarvis yay! congrats to both you and @sarahjarvis! in reply to jeremyjarvis #
- Whenever I drink from a wide-mouthed tumbler, I feel like Ally Sheedy's character in St Elmo's Fire when she's getting drunk with Kevin. #
- @thattommyhall that joke requires this at the end of it – http://www.instantrimshot.com/ in reply to thattommyhall #
- http://twitpic.com/13qqe6 – After stocking up when we moved in, I was down to my last box … then this arrived. Thanks @johnleach! #
- Ugh, the cat did a key combo which moved all the email from the inbox of one account to another. Taking forever to copy back. Thanks cat. #
- @tim_waters there used to be one in armley too, it was awesome. 25p book and cool bricabrac inc ace vintage fabric for under 50p. in reply to tim_waters #
- @tim_waters i've just realised, we've not seen your new place yet! we shall have to descend at some point :) in reply to tim_waters #
- @tim_waters mmm, cheese, sounds good. Saturday ok? The Gillroyd Parade have a gig at the Fenton on Friday. in reply to tim_waters #
- Trying to think of something I really need to do so I can say to myself "if I do X, I'll buy myself a WoW expansion pack as a reward." #
1. Even without my glasses or raising my head from the pillows, I can tell the world’s gone white again. Our plans are abandoned and we give ourselves a snow day of relaxation.
2. The cheese stretches between my teeth and the toasted bread shell.
3. I rarely play PvP battlegrounds and forgot how much fun killing other people can be. Fighting NPCs is rarely as exhilarating – it’s often just a case of going through the motions – but my half-hour in Warsung Gulch is electrifying.
4. Katherine & I discover we’re having the same soup for dinner. Katherine types “smiling now” and I am too. For all our differences, we’re so alike.
