Aug. 7th, 2006 01:03 amI should probably go on an internet hiatus, but I've always sucked at the whole resisting temptation thing, so take it as read that I'm not going to. *rueful* Didn't go to the winery near Lake George today for lunch with parents and mum's brother and sister, because I decided I needed to work. Surprisingly I did actually spend most of today working, and quite a bit of yesterday, and at least some of Friday. I'm still behind, but such, I suppose, is life.
Have decided to do the legal problem on Guantanemo Bay for my International Law assignment. Have a current new favourite legal latin phrase, being "lex iniusta non est lex": an unjust law is not a law. I just like the way it sounds.
We got the new printer, which also doubles as a scanner and copier. I need a usb cable before I can link it through the computer, but I am very enamoured of it.
One of the really bad things about getting hooked on Smallville fic is that it makes me constantly hungry for like, bread and cheese and muffins and cookies and pizza and sometimes Japanese cuisine. You can tell this is praying on my mind, can't you. XD And it means I go wandering out to the kitchen to pillage the chicken in the fridge because it has no carbs in it but still has fat and protein. So bad for me. Eh.
The census lady was really rude and called Ebony fat. As well as saying she couldn't be bothered collecting our census so we had to post it. Uh, what is she being paid for, exactly? Anyway, she came to Marie's house when dad was over there with Ebony and this time called Ebony an "old lady's dog". Rohan and I weren't quite sure if this was supposed to be a dig at mum, Ebony, or both, but anyway.
Speaking of Ebony, today a cat walked right past the window she was lying in front of, through our backyard, and Ebony didn't even notice until I said something along the lines of "Er, Ebony, you do realise a cat just walked right in front of you?" and then she hared off barking through the dog door. Sadly I got to the backyard before she did-- I think she was so excited she was skidding more than running-- and the cat was gone before she got there. Then she skidded round the corner so fast she faceplanted. It's pretty impressive managing a faceplant when you have four legs and are about 30cm off the ground, but she did, and I couldn't stop laughing.
Meanwhile, TRC 125 came out early, and I almost died of fanservice bliss. The end.
