My grammar-fu is napping. Please help wake it up.

A sentence in a report reads "There have been one sale and two pending contracts to date." My grammar-fu is insisting it should be "There has been one...." Boss insists on previous sentence and I'm not the one who wrote up the report, but still.

Vindicate me or educate me, please.

I saw a little something about this yesterday, but waited for more details before saying anything. I might still go see because I'm a sucker for vampire flicks - Twilight the major exception, but the entry title sums it on the info we have so far. Maybe they got it wrong somehow.

Thoughts from throughout the episode for once.

( Not a Wow, but still... )

Today started off on a sad note with the news of Andy Hallet's passing. RIP, Andy. You will be missed.

However, it seems to be ending on a joyous note with this news.

And on a bizarre note, apparently, Archie from Monarch of the Glen is on The Mentalist. Very unexpected.

Too good not to share

I'm just happy there won't be any more original series I'm interested in watching there after Friday.

I had to see what happened, didn't I?

I've got three girls, , , and one boy, . Funny how the boy is the youngest and the biggest. Damn testosterone. And I've been very good and haven't picked up any new eggs. We'll see how long that lasts.

( ”Leverage” )

you watch too much television and read too many books - not that I really believe either is possible - when you're reading/listening to a book by Simon Winchester and start trying to figure out how he's related to Sam and Dean.

If TVAnonymous or Bibliophile Anonymous exist, please don't tell me about them.

I'll stop after these grow up. I swear. And updates on the two I have already.


Two more eggs.



And here are the two that have hatched.

Artume, , is the oldest and has matured.

And hatched this morning. I haven't named it yet since I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl.

Okay, I've decided my little hatchling, needs a sibling. She also needs a name. Suggestions welcome.


Anyway, here's the new addition.

Pun intended.

It's shy.

I'm too much of a Buffy/Angel/Moonlight/Blood Ties girl to not share this.

Enjoy!

I am the proud and happy owner of a NEW car. My old car was 12 and a half years old, with several issues, and I miss her, but...

I HAVE A NEW CAR!!!!!!!

The new car is blue and an automatic transmission, which I'm not crazy about, but that's the only way the five door comes, so I'll get used to it.

In other news, we also got a new copier at work two weeks ago. I started working here twelve years ago and it was ancient when I started.

So, work is actually going well, if a bit quiet at the moment, and the house is starting to see what clean looks like again. Now all I have to do is start exercising, stop eating junk and start writing all on a regular basis and I'll be all set. The scary thing is, I think that might happen.

( Supernatural )

Also, I have a request. I want an icon and I'm not that good with graphics, so if anyone could make me or direct me to some comm that I can request an icon from I'd appreciate it. I need it to say "I'd be OCD if it weren't for my ADD." Graphics can be whatever, but I'd love it if it could feature Hannelore from QC and the poster child for ADD - Doctor Who.

Anyone kind enough to make it for me, gets a fic of their choice.

works overtime. I've always said this and it was proven true again this past weekend. Had electricity until about about 4am Saturday morning and it was back just before 3pm Saturday. No damage to the house, though my gardenia tree has snapped and I have to make cuttings. There are limbs down and sections of fence around the complex and also around the swimming pool. Some water came in along the window sills, but no flooding at all.

Have to drive into the office today and check on the office cat, but no work til further notice. I'm pretty sure it will be before the end of the week though. Sounds like we have power at the office and I'll know for certain this morning.

I'm glad to hear everyone on my flist in the Houston area came through safely and that the damages weren't as bad as they could have been and prayers for those still without electricity. We ended up without electricity for a week after Alicia. I'm glad I didn't have to do that again.

Okay, I don't actually have a phonograph, but I'm a sucker for alliteration and I do have fic and I need a record player.

I signed up for spring_with_xan and yesterday was my day. I missed by a few minutes, but no one seems to be holding that against me. Yay me! If you're interested, here it is. I'm very fond of the premise, I must admit. If you follow the link, I hope you enjoy.

Now for the phonograph part. Yesterday, we had a strange, but fun, thing at church. Strange because it was never really defined. It was a combination garage sale, bake sale, moonwalk bouncy thing, hang out and sing karaoke thing. Just our normal regulars who show up for church functions mostly, but a lot of fun. Anything that didn't sell garage sale wise, is being taken to the Salvation Army sometime this week. Because of this one little fact, I ended up buying the New Testament and the Psalms on 45 or 78 records (it's been a while since I've seen anything other than albums. look like 45s to me) that one of the men was selling. The Psalms records were published in 1959 and I haven't checked the New Testament yet. You can tell they've definitely been played by the condition of the covers. It'll be interesting to hear the quality of the recording once I do find a record player.

Just found out Harvey Korman passed away yesterday. This makes me very sad.
