10:08 pm - You Are Mine, and I Am Yours
|
I had a rather good day today. I woke up and washed my hair in the sink and headed off to work... and upon reaching work, I remembered why I enjoy my job most of the time. I love meeting new dogs and greeting them on monday mornings <3
Had two Siberian Huskies in named Jake & Sierra who were loose when I came in. They were very friendly and when I looked at their tags to see what their names were, Sierra did a little throaty howl. Very cute and loving, both.
And Kona was in! Kona, the crazy little German Shorthaired Pointer... she's gotten bigger since I last saw her, in May. But still nuts and funny and cuddly. Cuddled with Cassius, like normal, and damn if that boxer puppy weren't getting big. *points at icon* Kona~
Also found out that a lot of our dogs are moving ;_; Joey, the rat terrier, is moving down to California soon. And the old married couple, Fletcher and Romeo, are moving to West Virginia! No, old married couple! Don't leave! ;_; Fletcher the rescued doberman and Romeo the blonde scotty and their odd relationship of awesome are leaving! ;___; That news made me sad indeed.
And Groomerman is soon to be no more. He verbally abused Jen one too many times and got caught by Chris over the weekend.... so we are now interviewing groomers. Don't think Tim is gone quite yet, but hmm.... a groomer-lady came in today for an interview already so we'll see where that goes.
I have been drawing and reading and enjoying the cold weather.
I came to the conclusion this morning that winter is probably my favorite season. Y__Y; I think it might be because last year, for me, was pretty much entirely winter. Winter at the start, a little bit of spring (but not enough to see the flowers bloom) and then up to Alaska, where it was still winter, and then a little bit of warmth until the 4th of July, and then rain rain raaaaaaaaaaaain until I went home in September... at which time it was already fall and then, lo, winter again. It's been a very long winter for me, I guess, and I'm not used to summer anymore *laughs* I keep looking forward to the rain and the wind and the grey-ness. Ah, who knows.
~ Movie Meme time~ (You know what movie I'm having a craving to watch, all of the sudden? V for Vendetta. Hm.)
- Pick 15 10 of your favorite movies.
- Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
- Post them here for everyone to guess.
- Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
- No Googling/using IMDb search functions!
1. "And now I will dance with you until we have six babies and a house."
2. "In ancient times, the land lay covered in forests, where, from ages long past, dwelt the spirits of the gods. Back then, man and beast lived in harmony, but as time went by, most of the great forests were destroyed." ~ "Mononoke Hime" (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) marysia & alienchrist)
3. "I've won and lost a dozen fortunes, killed many men and loved only one woman with a passion a flea like you could never begin to understand. That's who I am. Now go home, boy!"
4. "How come I'm the only one who can hear and see you?"
"It's because when I died, you were thinking of me and I was thinking of you."
5. "I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way, what bliss." ~ "Addam's Family" (brightfires)
6. "These dogs are my family. You can't just leave them out there."
7. "This is my family. I found it, all on my own. Is little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good." ~ "Lilo & Stitch" (poopoochan)
8. "I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night." ~ "When Harry Met Sally" (angiechan070707)
9. "Spiders... the spiders... they want me to tap-dance. And I don't want to tap-dance!" ~ "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (ouzelum_bird)
10. "You're a dog! You're my dog!"
Go For It~

11:59 pm - Sheet-Lightning
|
It got really quiet outside- that quiet and stillness that comes before a storm. But we haven't had a real storm in ages.... heard me some thunder and so now I am waiting for the rain. We'll see~
I've been watching sheet-lightning for a while now- no thunder, just the flashes. They are far to the west it seems, maybe over the mountains. Haven't heard any thunder since that first rumble. Hmm hmm. Was watching a movie up here and kept catching the flashes in the corner of my eye and thinking it was a car... but nope, 's lightning. I'm house-sitting for Emily and watching over Izzy and it's been very enjoyable indeed. Izzy is currently hiding/sleeping under the computer desk up here- I think that because there is no thunder she might be alright? I'll keep listening for it, though.
I should go to sleep. I'm still trying to get better and less sick and I think I'm nearly there. I got somethin' nasty on friday (well, thursday, really) and haven't really been able to comfortably eat anything.. that's finally going away. Hurrah hurrah.
Mainly I've just been sitting around in this airy house with Izzy sitting under the side-table or behind me, behind the couch I'm sitting on, and reading. She'll be happy when her family comes home tomorrow <3 (Note: Izzy is a very pretty pup~)
My parents returned from La Push after their week wandering the beaches and laughing at all of the Twilight things there and in Forks (where they had stepped over to get some groceries). Twilight Tour anyone? On a Twilight Bus? XD
I want to go to the beach so bad.... maybe in the winter when the winter storms have started up <3 Because I love the ocean and beach up here in the winter when it's grey and cold and wet. (though it's grey and cold and wet a lot of the time, even outside of winter anyways.) Hoho.
Ooo that was a big flash *_*;
Need to head off and go to sleep. See you in the morning.

6:06 pm - Writer's Block: Dog Day Afternoon
|
I hide inside and try to stay as cool as I can because I am a wimp when it comes to heat. (Or I water the yard and get my feet wet. In the old days I'd go swimming, go to Wild Waves, or 'fall' into any body of water around.)
All I can think about when someone say it's the Dog Days of Summer is how in the old days, they were called that because this was the time when strays were racing through the streets, frothing at the mouth because they had nothing to drink and people thought that they were mad and would start a 'mad dog' scare and shoot the poor beast. Please remember to leave water out for the dogs.

( My Day, In Pictures. (Including an Old Dog, a Young Dog, and My Uniform, sort of.) )
[Explination]
Please note that my days mainly roll the exact same way, so even though I don't show you doing one thing on one day, it doesn't mean I didn't do it (because I most likely did) and yes. Just gettin' that out there.
~
Bullet Point Day:
* Old Man Sage had a, um, accident this morning when he didn't get up while he went to the bathroom. Poor old fellow had to get another bath following that.
* Found out that Phinney, our Rhodesian Ridgeback (Get it? Get it? Phinney Ridge? Get it?), jumped out of a moving car a little bit ago. Silly idiot is lucky to only have gotten a few scrapes and bruises, but he still hurts a lot and so doesn't get to play with the others. (Poor hound is a hard player, too.)
* It got freakin' hot out today again. x_x
* We are getting slammed this weekend, and Todd isn't helping anything by calling old clients up and asking if they want to come on down for the weekend. Todd, we already have an overflow, we don't need even more.
* Took a three hour nap this afternoon and woke up feeling like hell warmed over again. Bah. Shall be going to bed early, I hope. (Also thought that my dad was talking to me in Swedish when he woke me up and couldn't understand a word of what he said to me. Oh, sleep-mixed minds.)

Today went by well, I guess~ Met another Boston Terrier today named Walter. He's nine months old and is what Chris calls a "Ninja Boston" XD He's mostly black with only a little on his face and on the back of his neck (and a little on his stomache). After only seeing Basil for so long, it's crazy to see another Boston Terrier who isn't all buff and rugged like Basil is and how is mainly black. Basil is mainly black, too, but has the white collar and white toes XD
I need to get some ingredients for dinners next week as my parents are going out of town and I will be fending for myself. Oh dear. I hope that goes alright and I don't send myself into a paranoid panic. 9_9;

4:54 am - Three Fox Dream
|
My first dream was about work, again, and a hundred dogs in boarding and having to let them all out and feed them... but halfway through, I fell asleep again, or something, and left half the dogs roaming free. Someone came up to me and complained and I worried about those dogs that were free and if they would do anything to each other while I was gone. Wondered how I was going to explain to Chris that I'd already let the dogs out and that I was feeding them currently.
Then it shifted to a brief look at three red foxes swimming in a pond right next to each other. It was a picture, and the only words on it were "Don't forget the Korean Line" D:
And then my sleeping mind moved to a stormy ocean. Have you ever watched Lost Tapes on Animal Planet? Yes, kind of like that. This one was called "Drifter" and was about a young married couple on a little, round boat out at sea in a storm. The girl wanted to go home but the guy could not find the way back. So they drifted through the stormy sea and ended up falling down a whirlpool (much like the one that Ariel fell down towards the end of Little Mermaid) and as they both worried as to what to do, I woke up. And now am kind of distressed x_x;
I guess I should write a little about the Fremont Street Fair? It was amazing and very packed with people. I got to see Adison (remember Adison?) and his boyfriend. He picked me up and swung me around in a hug <3
Did some serious clothes shopping and bought a bunch of skirts and shirts. Go me; i don't like shopping for clothes at the mall, but adore it at festivals? Go figure.
Also saw two very tall drag-queens holding hands. They had giant fake boobs, little matching button up shirts, matching short purple skirts, and matching giant blond wigs + fish nets. They were amazing. Also saw lots of naked. Hurrah for the summer solstice.
I hope your dreams were better.

10:18 pm - Netflix: Marley & Me (2008)
|
"A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his."
*sob* Seeing as I sniffled while reading the inside picture-place of this book, I kind of knew I'd cry during this movie. And cry I did. There were hillarious parts, and there were heartbreaking parts, and uplifting parts and Marley was such a lab. Oh man oh man. (Also, out of the city New York? Amazing. Always have loved the look of it and one day I would love to go there, to see the North Eastern country.)
Let's see, what happened today. Not much! I accidentally hit Chris with a rubber ball twice, once in the knee and once in the head. XD;;; Didn't mean to at all, really D:
We also all ordered lunch from Kozue's! It was wonderful! <3 <3 I had Polarbear rolls in the middle of the day! Felt very content and bloated afterwards X3 Also ate with Petunia and Lily, her older sister. They snuck into the kitchen sometime early in the day, pull down a bed, and fell to sleep. XD Lily stayed in there all day long, more or less, though Petunia went out when the balls were being thrown.
We had two trial-day dogs come in named Kody and Emma, sisters from the same litter, and oh man, did they look completely different. Emma is completely white, while Kody looks like a Border Collie with brown instead of the white. Shepherd markings. Super sweet, the two of them.
And it sort of drizzled today! Water came out of the sky! Didn't really do much for anything, but it was still nice. And now it smells humid outside~
Also, Mark and Patti bought Chris' house! My neighbor's house that is falling down, it's going to be gone! D:! Chris is moving out at the end of the month. I'll miss him. Am still very against Mark & Patti cutting down my two old cherry trees. Found out that they want to do it just so that they would have a view from their house. I adore Patti (don't know Mark too well) but I'm not letting you cut down my trees just so that you can have a view that you've never had before. *throws hands up and changes the subject*
And here, a meme to pass the time. Stolen from angiechan070707~
01. Your Middle Name, or explain your Chosen Name: My middle name is Marr, my Mom's maiden name~
02. Mental Age: Um... twenty-two? I don't know D: I keep thinking I'm still twenty-two, but lo, I am not.
03. Single or Taken: Single. Always been single. 's alright, I think. (Kinda lonely sometimes, though, you know?)
04. Favorite Book: Toss up! First one that comes to mind is The More I See You by Lynn Kurland, though, but that's the book I always say is my favorite.
05. Favorite Song or Album: I keep listening to O.A.R's song "Shattered" and I don't know why. I like the sound of it.
06. What do you believe is your calling in life? Your greatest passion? Life and love~ Living things <3
07. What's your worst recurring nightmare/biggest fear? Being dropped into the deep ocean and having to swim back to shore. Thankfully I can breath water, or something, and so can swim really well, but they still make me nervous.
08. Faith, has you any? And if so, what, and if not, why not?: If any, probably Buddhism.
09. Do we know each other outside of LJ? Sadly, no.
10. What's your philosophy on life? Live and let live.
11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty? Half-full.
12. Would you tell me something painful if it was in my best interest? I'd try and then be terribly nervous until I heard your response. I'm kinda like that. Y_Y;
13. What is your favorite memory of us? Meeting you online, methinks :3
14. What is your favorite guilty pleasure? Buying books online Y_Y;
15. Tell me one odd/interesting fact about you: I love finding music boxes and listening to them. Also, digging my toes in mud- good mud, mind you, none of that gritty stuff.
16. You can have three wishes what are they? A home out of the city with a bit of land and a dog; peace for my parents (no more back pains, no more house-money issues, more trips, etc.); I wish I could explore things underwater without needing to breathe air.
17. What is your favorite food? Mmmm much. Right now, okonomiyaki~
18. Which country is your spiritual home? Scotland, probably.
19. What is your big weakness? Animals and abandoned stuffed animals. Also, fish.
20. Do you think I'm a good person? I do~
21. What was your best/favorite subject at school? Art XD
22. Describe your accent: People in Seattle say that we don't have an accent but I think it's kinda a lie. People say I have an English accent a lot, though it's more of a mix then anything. I say things weird sometimes without meaning to.
23. If you could change anything about me, would you? I would make it so that you had no more money problems or worries <3
24. What do you wear to sleep? In the summer, a tank top and light pants. In the winter, a long tunic-like pajama top and long flannel pants.
25. Gender identity? Who knows.
26. Affectionate/sexual orientation? Again, who knows.
27. If I only had one day to live, what would we do together? Live it up~ XD
28. Will you repost this so I can fill it out for you? Done~ :3

If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Day in bullet points, because I'm tired:
- Teamed up with Dad to keep Mom at home today as she pulled her back somethin' fierce over the weekend and thinks that work would be fine on it. Not so, Mom. So Dad and I ganged up on her and made her stay home. Her back isn't any better, but she did get to rest. (Sitting hurts more then standing, so...?)
- Work was work. Had a Husky puppy come in named Wolfgang (or just Wolf) and he was adorable and full of love <3
- Tomorrow, Chris and I are ordering lunch from Kozue! I'm very excited for this.
- Fell to sleep on my bed around 4PM and woke up three hours later. Oh dear.
- Off to play some Ooooooooooooookami~
1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.
2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone comments you and asks— and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.
( This thing is freakin' hard not to explain! )
Ask me how! XD
<3
-Mako
p.s. Also got a ride home from Ex-Co-Worker!Emily, which was nice. She came in for something and we all got to talking. It was nice to find that she's still super easy to talk to~ (And it was awesome not having to walk home XD)
p.s. again: The clouds are coming in and it smells like the sea. (Dad thinks that on the first of the Summer, this weekend, it's going to start raining and then it won't stop all summer long. Ooh, just like Alaska *laughs* Oh dear. A little rain would be much appreciated, though.)

5:15 am - Russian Dreams
|
So I had some very weird dreams. The first part was about fleas and was rather distrubing. I had them and I kept trying to brush them out of my parents' hair and it was kind of upsetting.
The second part of my dream was a mixture between LOLCats/politics and an earthquake storyline. And Bill Clinton. D: Because of these dreams, I got up late. Haha.
But it was the first set of dreams that did not gravitate around work that I've had since I started working. SHOCKING. (I also still want the computer in Iron Man. *_*)

Day 11, Test 37, Configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety. If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college. Please don't follow me around with it either because I feel like I'm going to catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down. If something happens, then come in.
I enjoyed that movie very much. It was very amusing and full of action and yessss. Also, hello Robert Downey Jr.
Also, my DVD player seems to think I am hard of hearing. (How did it know?)
Today was ... the same. Kind of. I got to work with Jen again as Amber was to come in late. Chris was working on the small dog area and in the front on accounts... so Jen and I had a fine time. Still some things that bother me, but oh well. Got to play with Atlas, the giant Great Dane puppy again <3 <3 and Zoey and the lot. And of course, my favorite boxer in the world, Cassius. <3
Also got to eat a nectarine today and it was wonderful *_*
Hmm hmm..
I fell to sleep after work and after my shower and woke up feeling kind of down. I had things I wanted to do this afternoon but I ended up sleeping instead. It just seems like life is sort of- I don't know, part of me wants to say "flat-lining" but that makes it sounds like death. So, it just seems kind of smooth. Smooth isn't bad it's just... who knows. Bah.
Tomorrow and Friday and then the weekend. We are off to Montesano for the weekend to eyeball furniture. We may or may not actually get our act together and bring some up. WHO KNOWS.
Friday I get paid! Woo! Need to remember to tell Todd how to spell my name correctly tomorrow 9_9;
Nothing really to say. I had a dream about an evil man who was shirtless and who's skin was blue (darker blue then Dr. Manhattan) and who had intense muscles. He released a bunch of hellhounds and it was my job to catch them all. It was kind of fun and very weird.
Also, I think I am getting either tanned or sunburned on my back from walking home. Oh great.
Sweet dreams~

9:16 pm - Burnt Again
|
So after a dinner of Oyakodon (which I made again. I hope I didn't just give my entire family food poisoning.) and tales from work Mom and I mentioned that one of the apple trees had the beginnings of tent catepillars. Dad automatically stood up and started trying to find those evil things and I mentioned what they smell like when you burn them. (They smell like weed or dope or some sort of drug like that.) Dad did not know this.
And so off we all went, pruners and firestarter in hand, grabbed the hose, and attempted to burn them down. Realized that trying to burn tent catepillars while they're still in the tree is kind of pointless as the burning flecks fall on your hands... so we cut them down and then burned all of the tents and then hosed them down. I felt rather pyromanical. X3
They were not yet catepillars, just eggs, but still. Better to get them early then late. I don't want a giant outbreak again.
Of course now it feels like there are things crawling all over me. x_x
Work was work. Got off early.
Now I am off to play Oooooooooooookami~

5:52 pm - Cherry Trees and Up
|
So I had a long, angry post half written but you know what? Eh. The problem and the feelings about it are the same, but the fury and the anger and the hellfire about it is gone. I still do not want my neighbors to cut down my two big, old cherry trees.
I went to go see Up with my parents this afternoon and it was wonderful. It made me cry ;~; The dogs are wonderful and acted like dogs for once. It was glorious. Would adore seeing it again. (Also, the little short before it, Partly Cloudy, was very sweet ;_; )
Went to the liquor store and then stopped by Emily's place :D Was in the neighborhood and I had info to tell her about bringing her dog, Izzy, to Lucky Dogs. (Oh fleas, how I greatly dislike thee.) Got a tour of her yard (I've known her how many years and I've never seen her yard before. Huh.) and got followed by her dog and was given three camera lenses that fit my camera and it was wonderful ;_; (Thank you, again!)
Yesterday, 'fore I forget, we went to Issian, a Stonegrill Japanese restaurant a few shops up from Kozue. Had a deal with Dad that we would go there before we were allowed to go to Kozue, and so we finally did. It was... eh. Wasn't impressed. I'm used to my small, cozy Kozue.... and the food was eh. The lunch menu looks amazing, but the dinner menu is lacking, to me. I kept thinking that the poor fishermen on the Hokkaido coasts are not going to be eatting this fancypants meal all the time.... because that's what it was, it was fancy. It tasted alright, but eh.
Can finally go back to Kozue! <3
Made Okonomiyaki v.2 the other day. Made me cry. Shall post about that later.
Hope your weekend is going well <3

"If you look at it, dogs have three basic needs. That's- that's eatting, sleeping, peeing and pooping."
"That's four."
"No, I think peeing and pooping is one."
"Uh, I've stepped in both and I have to disagree."
Oh it wasn't the best of movies by a long shot, but it was cute. Kind of hurt my mind in many places just because I've been working with dogs for a month or so, but oh well. The three-legged pitbull that they saved from the animal patrol van made me cry ;3; The ending made me all wibbly, too. Bah.
And yeah, there be issues with it, but it was still rather cute.
Today, after work, byakko_chan came over to drop off my new fish, Treasure <3 's a very cute, very small fancy goldfish <3 *glee* It was a good afternoon indeed~ Babbled at her about Nic Tse a lot YY;; (We're all kind of loving Treasure. Hehe. He has his own little tank for now, with a castle and a plant until we can find him a larger tank. :D)
Also got to talk to Patti for a little bit, too! Found out she's taken the corgis to Lucky Dogs for the self-wash. She's going to bring 'm in to get them groomed XD Got to get some love from Brutus and Ernie both and it was grand.
But I have to go to bed. Sleep well, dream dreams, see you in the morning~

I dreamed of Teatro ZinZanni last night and the dogs at work all playing in the acts. It was amusing but tiring XD
Work was really laid back today. Very, very laid back. Charlie the Cockerpoo was back and so I got to play with him and yes. And Lulu~! Luuuuuulu~
Went to Swanson's after work today with Mom (who had today off...) and bought another Chliean Jasmine and two lupine <3 We both marveled at the thunder heads far to the south east. Am wondering if they are going to come to us?
Because I am tired and I want to know!
YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I want to know 36 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine ... You're on my list, so I want to know you better!
BE HONEST! COPY FROM HERE THEN SEND DIRECTLY TO ME IN A COMMENT THEN, REPOST THE EMPTY QUESTIONS.

Teatro ZinZanni was amazing <3 The theme was different then the first time I went: this time it had Gypsies <3 Note to self, wear Grandma's old gold-coin necklace to Teatro XD
Our seats were 'cheap seats' yet I think we had one of the best places in the lot. We were right next to the stage, next to the stairs, and aye, we couldn't see a few things, but we did not have to share a booth with anyone and we got to talk to the Gypsies and everyone <3 It was wonderful.
The stage is going to be one hundred years old next year, too! The mirrors on the walls and the tent and the old wooden floor and everything <3 ah, so awesome.
If you ever have the chance, you should definitely go see Teatro ZinZanni. It's worth it.

I get to go to Teatro ZinZanni tomorrow night! SQUEE! (Teatro ZinZanni Website~) We got a very nice coupon in the mail from them that took a lot of money off of the tickets, and so! ;_; I am very excited indeed! Dinner and a show and magic and chaos and awesomeness. So excited.
Other then that! I was supposed to be paid yesterday, but Todd was flakey (or so says Chris) and so our paychecks were coming later in the day. I'll pick mine up on monday, which is fine. I'm not living paycheck to paycheck, thankfully, so it will be alright.
Thursday, I watched Spirited Away with my Mom. Still love that movie very much. Not my absolute favorite of Studio Ghibli's movies, but that doesn't really mean anything in the long run because I still love it to bits. (Especially the scene with the 'stink spirit' and the cleaning of the bath and the cleaning of the spirit and all of that.) Hurrah for nature preservation! (Just like Howl's Moving Castle has a lot of anti-war-ness in it. And Nausicaa is a mix between nature preservation and anti-war. Woo!)
The days at work have been moving forward well. Dogs keep jumping into my lap, and while this is no problem for me, suddenly my legs are easily bruised. What the hell. My thighs look like I've been beaten and I don't know why it is a sudden thing. Also have a nice arch of a bruise on my left calf from Zoey (the mini poodle) trying to climb into my lap and running a claw down my leg. Gah. And the left foot is not doing so hot yet. Still swollen and bruised. The bruise is draining into my toes (which is weird looking) and so now my toes are starting to turn black 'n blue, too. Hurts like mad.
I know I should wear closed shoes with these hounds, but- it's so hot back there x__x; Maybe that's why I've started getting bruised on my upper legs? Because I stopped wearing my carharts? And am now wearing lighter pants? Maybe... who knows. Mom says I'm fascinated in my injuries and I guess I am *laughs* I take note of them and dose them and poke them and they're all tiny and will go away soon, but still XD
I slept well last night, and woke up very hungry. Managed to buy something I had been waiting for to go on sale and am still waiting for something else to arrive in the mail. It was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but gah.
My days are melding together again.
Here, an Atlas Puppy~
Atlas! Atlas, the giant, silly Great Dane puppy who comes in to work sometimes. He is huge and nowhere near done growing. We all adore it when he comes in~ He has the biggest, goofiest ears in the lot and also the biggest paws (I'm betting). Very thankful that he's so gentle and that he goes along with most of what you wish because it would be hell to try to wrestle with that puppy. (He jumped on my back on thursday and raked his paws and claws from my shoulders down. Gah. Thankfully, no marks... for some reason. D: )
I am bored. Oooh I shall go forth and continue playing Okami, which just arrived in the mail today. <3 I'm still trying to get the things stolen over summer back, and Okami and We Love Katamari are just a few steps towards that. I love that game so much T__T Especially being all buffed up and awesome like my game is now XD

10:27 pm - Notes Before Bed
|
- I got the sudden, intense urge to go swimming. Just slow, peaceful swimming.
- I am pondering going to Fred Meyers after work tomorrow (it's only a block or so away) and buying Okami & We Love Katamari for the PS2 there because I miss those two games. They were some that were stolen over summer while I was in Alaska.
I am really, really tired.
Good night to thee~

Short update~
- Helped Katie move into her new abode~ (Katie has gained 143129 experience points! Katie has gained 3 Levels! Katie has evolved into Katie-with-a-One-Bedroom-Apartment! Congratulations!) It was very fun indeed ^__^
- Passed out on my bed after getting home bundled in a blanket as my sheets were being washed.
- Went and saw Star Trek with Katie & Emily after having dinner at a little teriyaki shop by Oak Tree. Dinner was amazing, but not as amazing as the movie. *glee* I enjoyed it very much.
:D

3:12 pm - Clover
|
I walked home barefoot (my shoes in my messanger bag); I ate all of the tips off of all of the blossoms of a purple clover (very sweet); and I curled my toes in some very nice, cool, wonderful mud at the bottom of my hill. The sun is high in the brilliantly blue sky and it was the perfect end of a long day.
Of course, I also might be a little dehydrated and loopy. You choose.
I also just put some fun-times medicine on the new cuts on my hands and so those are burning like hell fire (hell fiiiiiiiiiire. Hell fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire~) but that means it's working. I don't think I can have a day of work without getting a new cut, scrape, or bruise *laughs* Let's hope it stays at that and does not go to where I was in Alaska of getting injured all the time... Don't need that XD
I'm about ready to pass out.
We had a Stranger in working on the puppy/small dog area today and that set all of the dogs off like mad. They're building it right above the self-wash areas and the kitchen, which is awesome, but noisy. So while I was eatting lunch with Petunia the Pug (always bring her into the kitchen when I eat lunch. oooh snap, playing favorites!) I got to listen to drills and saws and all sorts of things. Petunia was terrified at first and kept giving her tiny, really soft bark and kept huddling in my lap.
As lunch went on, she finally went to sleep and I was able to read and eat <3
Gave an old dog, Molly, a bath today with the help of Groomerman. It was amazing- he was in a good mood or something.
Tomorrow: All of this all over again! Woo~
Also, the Memorial Day Weekend dogs are starting to come in. That's going to be crazy.
