Yes, I’m atill alive.

I know some of you were wondering.

Oh...you weren’t?

Then go on about your business.

OTB posts about the sad state of the Comics section these days. I don’t get the newspaper, so I haven’t read the comics in years, although I noticed a few weeks ago at my parents that the section has some stuff that I’ve never seen before and no longer has stuff that I used to like.

I have to agree with James’ sentiment to unretire some talented and funny comic artists though.

How do you like that alliteration?

Wednesday afternoon and yesterday morning I was in a meeting to search for payroll codes that weren’t used and should have been. As we’re getting to the end of the fiscal year, we want to hunt down all of the money that’s to be reimbursed to our district that hasn’t been yet. So I have a rather large stack of folders that have a rainbow of sticky notes scattered through the pages indicating the timesheets I need to submit corrections for to our payroll center. Yay! That’s the busy part.

Late yesterday afternoon Kirby called to say he was passing through. So he crashed at my place again last night, which was fun, as usual. He helped me flip & rotate my mattress and the moved boxspring so I could vacuum under my bed. So now my room is nicely vacuumed - and he continued to vacuum the whole apartment while I fixed dinner and started laundry. I got quite a lot accomplished thanks to Kirby. Yay! That’s the otherwise occupied part (which is to explain why the minimal posting here yesterday).

I didn’t log on at all last night - but I did watch The Amazing Race, another good episode that ended as I thought it would. Kirby thinks Jon & Kelly won’t get married, David & Jeff are gay, and the Clowns are definitely not gay. He didn’t have much to say about Chip & Reichen. Heh. (Hi, Anthony!)

I no grand plans for the weekend. I was supposed to help Nikita Demosthenes move his blog to MT tomorrow, but he’s postponed that for a couple more weeks. My mother called me the other day to say she was going to get rid of some decorator items, did I want to come check them out on Saturday, so I will be raiding my mother’s cast offs. And that’s all I can think of for now.

Happy Friday!
