See, I updated my miles last night, and so today I don’t have anything much to say! Except I got all the paperwork necessary for Deirdre’s and my Irish passports, and Ted’s post-nuptial citizenship application. I’m going to deal with all this now.
Goodness, that was bad!
We watched Absolon, which was every bit as bad as we anticipated, and then some. It did, however, have a Highlander reference that made Ted and I shout with laughter, and the sex scene made us say, “Well, at least she didn’t stab him first…” I also finally got around to reading Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, which is the second creepiest book I’ve ever read.

orange skies
Must, must, *must* start laundry as soon as I’m done with this entry.

Shaun over-exaggeratedly sneaks up on Zilli, making claws with his hands and growling each time he takes one very deliberate step. When he’s done…
a novel idea
Here’s a novel idea for you: my new alarm clock apparently hasn’t got a snooze button. It turns on, and if you hit the ‘sleep’ button, it turns back off again and doesn’t turn on again until the next day. How’s that for crazy? What’s the world coming to, I ask you? I don’t think I’ve ever *owned* a (digital, at least) alarm clock that didn’t have a snooze. This is clearly going to take some getting used to!
