the house is clean again, mostly. the stag-print is hung up on the wall again, and looks much better there than propped on the couch. i don't have a nasty hangover, have remembered to eat breakfast but not yet lunch or dinner, and haven't entirely forgotten about my laundry. a slow, good day, but i could really use another 6 or 7 hours of solid productivity before i sleep. oh well.

neat things:
there's an article in this month's Science about using ice formation in a relatively simple process to fabricate complex inorganic/organic composites similar to nacre or bone. bits like that are why i think materials science is so damn cool.

cuteness, from [livejournal.com profile] violin:
baby otter! it looks like a tiny, fuzzy, grumpy old man. hee!
ridiculously cute baby otter!

and also, behind the cut, a baby sloth. it makes me involuntarily do the "awww cute" face. ridiculously cute baby sloth

one of the finest compliments i've been given in a long time, also from [livejournal.com profile] violin:
"When you throw a party, it sounds like 12 hours in God's own Waffle House."
(...where God's own Waffle House has mimosas and liquor and dancing and pool, and a suave man in a fedora putting the music on the near-infinite jukebox...)

*smile* yesterday was a fine, fine day.

yeah, it's a good thing people can't give me looks like the one that otter's got. that'd be dangerous.

That was a much-needed shot of cuteness. Thanks for making me turn into a mushy pile of goop temporarily. :)

Heee heeeee!

I need to make sure I mirror those on my own webspace. I'll forward you the URLs, so you can link to them instead of hotlinking to the originals.

thanks, yeah. forward those on and i'll switch the links.

That otter is about the cutest thing ever. Also, now I want to attend one of your parties.

From: [identity profile] iridium.livejournal.com
hee! yes. the otter rocks, but he's got tough competition from that sloth.

and you'll just have to come down for the next party, then. :) no idea when it'll be -- sometime in june or later, i'd guess, since i'm leaving at the end of february and crazy-busy 'til then.

sloths are adorable. if i had a sloth, we'd go hang out in trees together and go verrrry slowly through our days. it'd be great.

also...erm. i don't remember if you'd introduced yourself before. do i know you? who are you? hello!

I can't rememeber either, my apologies if I have the wrong name here. It's just I know someone else going by the name Iridium too....does furrymuck mean anything to you (or do I have everything mixed up?)

Hmmm... MUCK used to be a particular type of MUD, Multi-User Dungeon. Basicly, they were text based online multi-player RPGs, to which players connected via telnet. There were usually also chat capabilities, so they often also had a social network grow up around them, sort alike BBSes. They were the precursor to todays MMORPG (Everquest, World Of Warcraft, etc). Apologies if you knew all of this.

Anyhow, perhaps FurryMUCK was a MUCK that catered to furries? I'm resisting searching just in case...

Anyhow, the images:

huh. well, i've switched the link URLs. thanks!
and the sloth's on rotation as a desktop image on both my computers now. a bit low-res, but it still makes me smile, and that's Important.
