It’s Thursday.
SuSu is online.
Ha!I didn’t sleep much last night, was awake until 4 AM. When I said
something (from my corner where I was trying futilely to read myself to
sleep with a page-turner –not such a good idea) about my unusually
late wakefulness, to Doug who was here at the computer, his response
struck me as impatient bordering on resentful, as if he was waiting for
me to go to sleep. The evidence of a few pubic hairs on the
keyboard this morning suggests that he was waiting for me to go to
sleep so he could get into (really get INTO) some hentai tentacle
stuff. So kinky, my kid. The other day as I worked in the
kitchen some kids in his fanfic chat were discussing the obvious
absence of gay relationships in Harry Potter books. Doug said in
an aside to me that some of them had written gay scenes involving Harry
and Draco Malfoy. I gave a twisted grin and said I just couldn’t
see those two getting together, but could see Harry with
Dumbledore. I guessed from the rapid clicking of the keyboard
that he was passing along my comment to the room. Then he laughed
and said that someone posted, “Now we see where you get some of
it.” Yeah the kinky apple doesn’t fall far from the twisted tree.I will be headed down the valley in a while, after I’ve showered and
got the stuff I’m spozed to take to town together. There’s a big
yogurt tub full of beans and ham hocks and half a dozen cornbread
mega-muffins for Greyfox (a microwave is his only way to cook in that
tiny cabin, and he appreciates a break from frozen dinners and
lunchmeat sandwiches sometimes), plus glue and shampoo and one straight
pin I stuck in his mail so it won’t get lost — he needs it to repair
some bit of defective merchandise. He just phoned and left an
“urgent” message on the internet answering machine. His cell was
breaking up badly, but I’m pretty sure after a couple of rehearings of
the
message that he’s asking for a roll of toilet paper, “for
nosewipe.” I could take him a box of Kleenex, but he asked for
tubular tissue, so TP is what he’ll get. He’ll also get a haircut
if circumstances and weather conditions permit. I trimmed his
beard a couple of weeks ago, but it was too windy for a decent haircut.I will be stopping at the post office in Willow on my way to Wasilla. There was a pickup notice
in the box yesterday. It could be some knives Greyfox ordered (ArmsMerchant isn’t just an online nic, it’s his business) or the package LuckyStars
told me to be watching for, or it might be the new Harry Potter book
from Amazon. I love surprises, I just don’t enjoy suspense.
I wanna know what it is, and I have to wait until I get there to find
out. *sigh*I also need to stop at the library. I have books and a DVD to
return. I wonder if I’ll be tempted to sit down at one of their
computers for an hour? I can see myself now in my mind’s eye,
strolling past the little clutch of computers, casting a scornful
glance their way (my new system is certainly superior, and I can use it
without interruption whenever Doug is asleep), maybe blowing a quiet
little library raspberry. *pbttt*

Woo hoo–I get to comment first. Re HP (whoa, 12-step in-joke?)–someone posted a spoiler in the ‘dox; I resisted the urge to cheat and see who dies, or whatever.
Yep, I wanted TP for noseblow–’way cheaper than boxed tissue–in retrospect, not all that urgent–I could use some of the pre-stinked up stuff I scrounged out of the camper, but I have been putting that in the porta-johns for the other denizens to use. (I use paper towels and wet wipes. TMI?)
Onward and downward–see ya later!
I hope it is your HP book.
You’ll love it.
excuse me, but what were you doing up at 4 a.m.?
arrrrggghhhh…even page turners don’t keep me awake any more. One page, if I’m really into it, a couple of paragraphs if I’m not..and my eyes are closing and the book is falling out of my hand. Note: lost my place when that happens, hate when that happens!
so that’s how you spell a raspberry.
augh. dammit. i’ll get the package mailed. i left you a note in your guestbook about it, too. drop me a line if you can think of anything you’d like me to pick up.
i have a 30% off any one book at borders.
i just wouldn’t know what would interest you.
i need to talk to my brother about a fanfic place he writes. as soon as you mentioned harry potter and gay the little light bulb went off in my head. he’d told me about it on our last drive to the parents but i’d forgotten til now.
