wayfaringwordhack A stewy slew of info, because I can:
First off, sometimes I freaking hate LJ. Why does it have to eat my entries and force me to retype. Really doesn't motivate me to keep posting. (Also, sorryfootlingagainabout the double comment post. That was LJ's fault, too.)
On an Internet related note, I've remarked that since school has started back and all the teachers have returned from abroad, our net problems have increased tenfold. During July and August, we hardly ever got bumped and we could connect on the first try. Now we get bumped all the time, it takes multiple tries to dial up, and it is nigh on impossible to dial up during peak hours.
The sister of a neighbor came by at 8 the other morning, while we were having breakfast, and told me that she can't find a taxi to pick up her girl every morning at 7:30 (and presumably bring her home again). She asked, without asking, if I could do it. Um...
We're going scuba diving this arvy. Six months have lapsed since our last dive. I'm sure that my birthday trip will involve diving, so I told J I need a refresher in familiar waters first. I hope I don't get eaten by sharks.
I also told J that we should try to empty our deep freeze before leaving. With the power outages we are prone to having during this season, it would be a wise thing to do. I don't relish coming home to the reek of rotting fish. So, what does he do? This.
TONIGHT! The World Rugby Cup begins with France vs Argentina! I was invited to a girl's night out since the men will be doing the graveyard shift on the boat, but I had to turn them down. I have a match to watch, girls. Allez les Bleus! Unfortunately, J and I are going to miss lots of matches while off on our trip. We'll be back for the finals though, and I hope France will be qualified!
And so life goes.

Stew is food for thought!
Date: 7 Sep 2007 09:23 am (UTC)2) No internet means more writing time, no? *Whistles and looks innocent*
3) Did neighbour's sister offer to pay the going taxi rate?
4) That's a very impressive fish. Barbecue for the hordes recommended unless you really want rotten fish waiting for you on your return. Friends of ours regularly cook up all the food they have left and do something similar a day or two before they go away.
5)We'll be watching the rugby tonight, too. I'll raise a glass to you all at half time! (And long before, I expect.)

4) Good idea. We'll have the cousins over at least. :P
5) *wails* We're you secretly wishing for Argentina to win? I actually wanted them to before play because of how emotional they were. :P Guess I payed for that sentiment. Not even shouting and standing on my couch (X2) for France to score a try made up for it.
Re: Stew is food for thought!
Date: 9 Sep 2007 09:16 am (UTC)5) Ummm - I was sort of hoping the Argentinians would do well, because everyone seems to underestimate them. They are a fine team - and yes, they do get all emotional. I did feel for you, though, when France lost.
England played like plonkers and deserved to lose, although they didn't. The USA made them work for it, though ;)
Sometimes, I want to take our team out and give them a kick up the backside. They seem to have lost all their spirit. Harrumph.

Date: 8 Sep 2007 06:35 am (UTC)After I get particularly tired of LJ, I sometimes do my entries in Word. Until I get tired of that. What I usually try to do is copy it before I post it. I just happened to forget this time. :(
