I'm bored. What are y'all doing?

[nolabear]

Me, I'm trying to read and critique some short stories as part of a writers' conference I'm going to in October, listening to some Hollywood gossip show on TV, watching Bunny the Cat freak the hell out over our son's cat Beau being here for a few days, trying not to think about how much I'd like a nibble or drink (I'm on a low carb diet) and obviously I'm dicking around on DU.

And for some reason I've been on an Annie Lennox fueled spree of FIERCE women singers. So now and then I click through to a Youtube video of some outstanding soulful woman and bop.

And Thou, Oh Lizards?

1. I'm dicking around on DU, too!

I could be reading some legislation and other stuff related to Virtual Net Meterin......

[nolabear]

2. I have the feeling "Supposed to be reading/doing something" contributes to a lot of posts.

[NYC_SKP]

4. Oh hell yeah!

I'm partly self-employed and if I was a good supervisor I'd have to block myself from DU.

Might also have to issue a written verbal warning even!

[cliffordu]

19. I gotcher written warning right here, pilgrim.....

[NYC_SKP]

20. "pilgrim"?

We're so old only we get that reference..



What's on your clipboard this morning, cliffordu?

Here's mine:

3. My dear nolabear!

I too am fooling around on DU........and having a luscious cream puff for my dessert!

I've been editing two poems today, in a workshop I'm taking... but now they have to rest while I absorb what I want to do to them.

[nolabear]

5. That gestational period is very important.

What's the workshop theme?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Each week we study a different technique.

I forget the name of this week's theme, but what we have to do is write a poem about something we dislike, and then twist it around at the end to make it something we like.

Transformational? I forget!

Ooops.

[nolabear]

7. Sounds like fun. Hard to do, though

without being schlocky. I'm trying to think whether I've ever written something in that style. I don't think so. I do often have a turn at the end but not to something opposite.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. It is both fun and challenging.

I need it so I can grow!

[HipChick]

8. I am getting drunk..

and hitting the sheets early..

[nolabear]

10. Buzz on, HipChick!

[HarveyDarkey]

11. Drinking a Duvel Tripel Hop, listening to the football game

and reading and responding to your post.

Oh yeah, and eating some chile.

[fizzgig]

12. i'm pretty sure i fucked up the cinnamon swirl bread i just put in the oven

i am fairly well convinced i forgot the second cup of flour, but there's nothing that can be done about it now. i'm hoping it's edible because i want something sweet and that was my last resort.

that's what i get for baking while stoned. maybe i can talk my husband into taking me to the 7-11.

[MiddleFingerMom]

14. A friend and I, VERY stoned, decided we just HAD to walk down to the 7/11 for...

.
.
.
... little chocolate donuts. When I got to the busy register, I couldn't find my
money and started emptying my pockets onto the counter. The clerk, at first
pissed, started laughing and the people behind me started laughing and I'm
thinking, "IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING FUNNY!!!".
.

When I finally found my cash, I started putting stuff back in my pockets and
finally saw the half-ounce baggie of weed on top of my donuts.
.
I picked it up and held it so that everyone could get a better look, laughing
and mumbling, "It WAS that fucking funny."
.
.
.
A fine stoner memory if ever there was one.
.

[fizzgig]

15. ...

that is pretty fucking funny

[nolabear]

18. Never, NEVER work off a bag, silly.

Big bag to little bag, little bag to tiny little bottle, tiny little bottle to teeny little pocket tin...why do you think they make all that stuff? Geez...

(I'm impressed you remember it!)

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. Masticating furiously

Rotini with a mushroom/meat sauce.

21. I just finished taking Toby

out for his morning walk. I have some chicken wings in the oven and will be heading to the Library soon. Saturday is my chore/errand day. Toby (13 yr old chihuahua/jack russell mix) doesn't like to stay outside by himself so I will probably to a little yard work this afternoon so he will have some happy outdoor time. The temperature here is nice today.
