Captain Jack Octopus
26 July 2007 11:24Still no end to the Pox Upon Our House: the girl has two last blisters that just refuse to pop. I'm feeling all sorts of things I haven't gotten done lately but here is a list of things that I have managed:
1. Watched the first two Pirates movies with Sara (she never saw the second).
2. Finished Hunters of Dune and realized that it was only half a book: irritating.
3. The octopus below.
4. Sold my dance pad on eBay.
5.Finished HPatDH and thought it was pretty good. I enjoyed leaving the business about Snape until the very end and was satisfied that I was right: he was a good guy and a total dick. The bloody swath laid behind Harry was satisfactory as well. Sara pointed out that 1981 seems a poor death date for James and Lily and we are both hoping she meant 1991 as that makes the math correct. What does it say in the US edition? Anyway, I quite enjoyed it, and now it's over: yay! Maybe some attention could be turned to other YA authors like Garth Nix.
6.Cleaned up my resume for a Spokane job that was pointed out to me.
7. N-n-n-no tomorrow!
Things I have to do still:
1. 8 more octopi! (Yay!)
2. Not panic about having no defined plan after say, 20 August. Well Keep not panicking anyway, I am actually doing okay on this one but I do keep having to remind myself.
3. Ship said dance pad once the buy picks a shipping address.
4. Punch a puppy, kick a kitten, some sort of alliterative violence.
5. Get the comic/illustration gig churned out by 15 August (because I am awesome enough to get the bid1).
1. I have not actually been awarded the job yet.

Dude! Have you abandoned your Y.A.A.C. upbringing?!?
Now you have to go around the Internets and say everybody's name (real one!) that read your post.
Right now.
Ostracize an octopus. With real ostracos. You know, by pelting it with them. Like they did in the olden days.
Yes.
