I'm a total Star Wars dork, and even I don't really know what to make of this.

Um... I think I know what to make of that questionable link: it's Anakin Skywalker crossed with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. And, having seen it, let me say: eeeeek!

That looks like a very-well-prepared-for-winter *and* pregnant she-racoon, to me.

Ahhh, yes, now -that's- a likely explanation. Hadn't considered that my visitor might be an expectant mum.

But adorable.  The "wipe your paws" mat is almost too great to be not posed.

Yeah, I loved that I got the mat in the picture with all the words nice 'n' visible.

Nope. ... I'm putting it aside tonight and vegging, though. . . . Dang, I was going to see Serenity this week and I forgot. Maybe I'll do that for a matinee tomorrow, if they're open on Thanksgiving.

Darn. Well, at least you can take a well-deserved break today. It's funny you should mention Serenity becuase, on the advice of one of my friends, I rented Firefly Disc 1 from Netflix and loved it! Man, I can't believe I'd never seen it. Well, okay, I didn't have cable when it was on the air, and the cable I have now doesn't include the sci fi channel.  
But now that I've seen the first 3 episodes, I can't wait to see the rest--few though they may be. Of course, I am rather grumpy to learn that there were only 14 episodes, 3 of which never aired.   Hmmph. Stupid TV execs!! Anyway, I'm going to watch Serenity as soon as I've seen all the TV episodes. Goodie!!
Oh, and I'm also happy because not only did my homemade pies turn out great, but I successfully uploaded the pic onto snapfish. Don't they look yummy?

Plus, I had an interesting porch guest this morning when I went out back to take the trash out. I was about to open my screen door when I noticed the fattest racoon I've ever seen! Of course, I've only seen maybe two or three. Anyway, this porky racoon (I call him the Thanksgiving Bandit) was just sitting there on the rug, which of course made me let out a scream.
He put up his head and just blinked at me as if I should've known he'd taken up residence on my back porch. By the look of him, he must've eaten a whole turkey yesterday.

Thanks! I am totally looking forward to it.
But how's work coming on that editing project? Almost done?

I have scoliosis, but it's mild enough that it doesn't trouble me if I get regular upper-body exercise.

My roommate has mild scoliosis, too. She does a lot of tae kwon do (sp?) and pilates.

I'm really, really stressed right now. ... I'm probably going to be here at work till midnight; .... What with the virus yesterday, I'm even more behind than I was before, so I'm only about 1/3 through editing a book that I've already spent a week and a half on, and I have to get it done tomorrow.

Dang, that sucks! I hate it when you're up against this deadline that seems impossible. I hope you conquer the ms. long before midnight, though.
I was 20 minutes late for class on Mon. night because I hadn't finished this beastly marketing project, complete with a phoney author questionnaire, press release, list of target publications, marketing plan, and on and on.
I nearly had a panic attack just trying to get it finished, yet it's not like I procrastinated. All the research took much longer than I thought and "technical difficulties" got in the way. I think my MS Word is permanently screwed up on my computer and is in need of re-installation. blech.
Good luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

It worries me because I want to like the new one, and if the third was better, than this one = teh suck.

K, I'm not trying to take sides at all here. Just as an aside to e, personally I also thought #3 was the worst one out of all of them yet that #4 was the best. Actually, GOF really restored my faith that HP can be done well on screen. So ...have no fear, be of good cheer! I think you'll like #4.

Huh, I'll have to do that sometime. I find the idea of fighting onself irresistably poetic.

...because chronic fatigue doesn't affect your blood.

Hey, I have CFS, too. Didn't know that's what you had. Too bad for both us us, eh? I've found that exercise makes a huge difference for me. Anyway, the blood plasma thing twice a week would probably be too much for me--what with the needles being involved and not just the CFS.   But maybe it'll be just the thing to help you make ends meet!
