    Decluttering today.  No, not decluttering.  Procrastinating about decluttering, that's what I'm really doing right now.  But I am going to make either some iced tea or iced coffee and get out there now.  In 5 10 20 25 minutes.  Okay, maybe a half hour.

    Oh wait, I could turn this on its head.  I will go out now and declutter.  I'll still procrastinate, because it's what I do.  But I'll procrastinate LATER.  Which means I'm procrastinating right now about procrastinating later.

    I like that.  But it only works if I go off to declutter right now, which is what I'm doing...

    I spend a great deal of time planning to declutter. With luck I'll be able to move from the planning stage to the pre-implementation stage. And from there to benefit analysis stage...

    Oh wow you're good.  I bow to your expertise!cheeky

    Yes. I am a Goddess...

    I'm glaring at my latest render... scowling even.

    Why couldn't you be exactly like I intended? You're such a disappointment...

    Now wait a minute!  Just hold your horses!  Jiminy Crickets!  Keep your shirt on!

    Okay, now that I got all my mom's favorite sayings out of the way...

    That render is really good!  The only thing I'd do is flip the image upside down.  And that's only because gravity should pull hair, and um, "boingy" body parts downward, not upward.  Re-examine the upper girl and you'll see what I mean.

    But yeah, really good.

    I forgot which image it was... probably one of my Ms Goodbody and so forths... Yes... I can see why gravity may be inverted in that one. Mostly it is because I can't get the hair on Ms Goodbody (played by Karen 7) to blow back properly. The hair was supposed to be blowing away from the center but I suppose I could rotate the image and put Ms Goodbody on top... Or maybe just a bit... like so...

    If it's anything like The Time Tunnel, it doesn't matter...they spin around on their way to a different time!  Seemingly in zero gravity.

    MU = Million Units... or Microwave Units or Marmoset University... One of the finest establishments for higher learning amongst marmosets... I believe Alanis Marmoset graduated from there.

    I feel like I am turning blue.

    You could be suffering from Smurf Poisoning... If you eat salad often, check to make sure no smurfs have been accidentally tossed in with the greens.

    Most people check for caterpillars and mouse feet, but few notice chopped up smurf...  even a small amount of smurf can turn one’s hair blue, cause uncomfortable nose hair growth and even hallucinations... large doses can lead to Gargamelia or worse. 

    It is getting worse. Slight blue tint to my hands now.

    that was awesome... well, actually terrible, but awesome because it was so terrible...

    If you liked it, there are three more Starman movies out there. Two of them feature some of the best costumes ever seen on film, and at least one of them has the added bonus of somewhat making sense. My friend Dani and me watched all four of them during Easter (I think), and we snarked the living daylights outta them.

    It’s definitely Smurf Poisoning... It has all the classic symptoms... I think... but there is definitely a lot of blue involved here. Have you recently started taking any new nutritional supplements? Some use smurf parts in place of Riboflavin (Vitamin B2)... Also some mall food court “Bourbon Chicken” places have been found using chopped smurf in place of more traditional rat meat... the tiny shoes that customers kept finding in their food were a tip off.

    Yesterday during the blackout I had lots of time sitting without distractions and began to think about how big Lake Erie is.  I came to the realization that it being about 240 miles long and between 30 and 50 miles wide (except for a small sliver of land from Canada that juts out into the lake that makes it technically only 21 miles wide).  It is, on average, almost twice as wide as the English Channel at Dover and covers the length between Ramsgate and Plymouth on the English coast.  surprise

    Battery powered camping lantern is quite useful to replace old fashioened candles    (and a lot safer when one has two active cats around)    Over here we can also get a rechargeable one which is more expensive to buy but cheaper to run.  Have one sitting in an easy to grab place in the living room.  It is very good   seems to act as a deterrent as well,  haven't had a power cut since I bought it.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/EULOCA-Rechargeable-Lantern1200lm-Resistant-Flashlight/dp/B07J294NLL/ref=cts_sp_4_vtp

    I missed that you had a blackout... I guess the power is back now, or at least I hope so.

    It was a good idea to shut off the breaker, brownouts and the stuff that can occur during a storm related repair can mess up fridges and A/Cs.

    The year before last, we lost two fridges (one was very old) and a relatively new TV because of a in-line transformer (I think that’s what they called it) that was damaged in a winter storm... apparently it was creating a very subtle “brown out” effect that strained the compressors in one phase of the breaker box... anything that was connected to one half of the breakers was actually experiencing subtle, repeated power dips every time the wind blew.

    The lineman who replaced the transformer said it’s actually a good idea to turn of any breakers that are connected to sensitive equipment or fridges after a blackout, just in case... also some idiots with big home generators who don’t have things properly connected, or isolated, can mess up other homes when the power comes on.

    When you say “two active cats” I picture two cats really, really hopped up on espresso, climbing the walls, running across the ceiling, frantically knitting scarves and doing aerobics wearing tiny 80s leg warmers.

    Complaint: Friggin Apple...

    This morning I went to add something to a section of the book I’m writing on my iPad, and I noticed stuff was missing... it took me a while to realize that a stupid bug in Pages is back... apparently just opening a Pages document can occasionally make it “think” the document was altered... so depending on how you have your documents sorted, it might place an older version ahead of a new one.

    I guess this happened several times while I was going back and forth between older and newer versions, refining a new version... even though they are numbered, it got jumbled and I had to borrow my one of my daughters’ iPads to compare the documents side by side... 38 pages of the glossary section were mangled.

    Fixed it, but such brain pain now.

    Running across the ceiling and knitting scarves they haven't tried yet. Climbing display cabinets, book shelves and wardrobes  is an everday occurrence, as these are part of their normal assault course.  Todays fun game was climbing a pile of empty boxes and managing to collapse the whole pile.  That cat is now happily cat-napping in the formerly top box of the pile,  now at a lower level.
    They have a basket full of cat nip toys.  They can take it or leave it,  are not at the addicted stage yet.   Dreamies  though,   now that is a whole different thing.   All it takes is a shake

    What's the polite amount of pictures to upload to your Gallery, if you're thinking of starting to put some stuff in there? I can't find the rules (I'm sleep-deprived again, don't judge me too harshly), and I seem to remember seeing something about a picture per two or three days, or whatever?

    Complaint:  Power brownout/blackout! frown  Big storm this afternoon, trees down on powerlines.  From about 5:30 to 9:15 PM.  So hot and humid!  Ugg  No A/C.sad   No adequate windows for effective cross ventilation in my apartment.  To stay cool I went for a drive in my car.  Ah, A/C!yes  But then I ran smack-dab into another violent storm cell.  Ghaaaa!surprise  While driving I passed several emergency crews along the road removing branches and replacing wires.  But before I left for the car ride I grabbed a flashlight and my anti-spiderweb gear (walking cane) and braved the horrors of the cellar of this place (I'm the only tennant at the moment) to turn off all the electric power at the main circuit breaker box.  Had to do it because the brownout was causing my refrigerator motor and the waterpump motor in the basement to labor and sound wierd.  And it was easier than breaking into the empty apartment and unplugging the refrigerator over there and also I had a ton of electronics in my place that would have required scrambling under desks and behind tables to unplug or throw switches.  I just braved the spiders for three minutes and it was all safe.  Yay!  This event did, however, give me a chance to test my candles.  Yup, they still work.  No blown fuses or broken wicks.  But I can see that I'm going to need to invest in another box of wooden matches, the strike-panel on the side of the box is getting old and reluctant to work (I don't know why.  I've had that same box for 10 years.frown)

    While on my cooldown road trip I went all the way into Jamestown and drove past "Rickey's Pawn Shop" and it doesn't look prosperous.  Sign is all faded and scuffed. 

    Battery powered camping lantern is quite useful to replace old fashioened candles    (and a lot safer when one has two active cats around)    Over here we can also get a rechargeable one which is more expensive to buy but cheaper to run.  Have one sitting in an easy to grab place in the living room.  It is very good   seems to act as a deterrent as well,  haven't had a power cut since I bought it.  https://www.amazon.co.uk/EULOCA-Rechargeable-Lantern1200lm-Resistant-Flashlight/dp/B07J294NLL/ref=cts_sp_4_vtp

    Yeah, buying things proactively seems to deter the events they are meant to help remedy... 

    When you say “two active cats” I picture two cats really, really hopped up on espresso, climbing the walls, running across the ceiling, frantically knitting scarves and doing aerobics wearing tiny 80s leg warmers.

    Cats do not need espresso when they have catnip!

    Yeah, but nip addiction can be a sensitive subject with some cats... especially if they are currently in Nipoholics Anonymous... (not to be confused with Nipplemaniacs Anonymous)... I didn’t want to bring that up in case there was a prior incidence of Nip Abuse. 

    Running across the ceiling and knitting scarves they haven't tried yet. Climbing display cabinets, book shelves and wardrobes  is an everday occurrence, as these are part of their normal assault course.  Todays fun game was climbing a pile of empty boxes and managing to collapse the whole pile.  That cat is now happily cat-napping in the formerly top box of the pile,  now at a lower level.
    They have a basket full of cat nip toys.  They can take it or leave it,  are not at the addicted stage yet.   Dreamies  though,   now that is a whole different thing.   All it takes is a shake.

    Seriously... that little boy is creepy as hell... you know he has a suitcase full of dismembered cat heads in his closet.

    But Nip is no joke... when your kitties are all strung out on nip and tellies and valuables start going missing you know you’ve got a problem.

    Needs work, but I’m gonna add it to my PSA on Nip Addiction...
