Past few days

[catsittingstill]

1) I crawled around under the house yesterday, insulating pipes and propping up the pink fiberglass insulation that should have been under the floor and in some cases fell on the pipes.  Kip was kind enough to come help.  My nose ran so badly I had to blow it on my shirt and I got fiberglass itchies on both arms and all around my waist.  But it is done.  And I am showered and in clean, fiberglass free clothes.  I still need to put a heavier grade of vapor barrier plastic under there but that can wait a while.

2) I went canoeing today as a reward.  I spent the morning running around doing laundry and dishes, and errands and didn't get ready to go until 3:30.  Fortunately I can put the canoe on the car in 20 minutes from a standing start, and take it off in under ten, so I still got in an hour of canoeing before dark.

3) I have got the end assemblies on my workbench done except that I still have to peg the mortise and tenon joints.  I am just about ready to start work on the top.  It would be great if I could get that done soon...

4) Someone thinks that pro-choice women are ugly.  To which I say "Whew!"  Why would I want the attention of someone who didn't think I had the right to control my own body?  I say "Me too--I'm very ugly.  Very VERY ugly.  I am soooo ugly that if you ever looked at me, even accidentally, every mirror in your house would simultaneously shatter from the sheer ugliness of it.  And your computer would show the blue screen of death forever.  Maybe you'd better stay home with the shades drawn.  You know--just to be safe."

5) Someone wants 2009 over.  To which I say "what?  Skip my birthday and Kip's birthday and Yule?  Are you MAD?  You want a fresh start--feel free to declare it Jan 1 2010, and just keep repeating that day until the rest of us catch up with you.  I will be over here giving presents and getting presents and eating cake.  When I'm good and ready to be done--which will happen, eventually, because nobody can eat cake forever--I'll let you know."

Yay for the transparent biasing of cultural norms! Luckily it goes both ways -- the pro-life side mostly doesn't read as attractive to me, because none of them really look to be people who would be interesting to talk to. And everyone is happier this way.

Yeah. Lots of airbrushed vacant stares.

Personally I suspect he just took a lot of pictures and picked out the prettiest (in a conventional (how else?) sense) of the anti-Choicers and the least pretty (in his opinion; I thought many of them looked interesting and lively) of the pro-Choicers.

But whatever. If he's turned off by freedom, he's no loss.

+1, all of this. and the bit about stalkers, too. *shudder* Wonder how he'd feel about being owned... but I don't wonder too hard, that way lies madness.

Absolutely. Who wants the admiration of someone who thinks your body isn't your own. That would be like getting the admiration of a stalker. I like being admired as much as the next person, but I would hope I'm not self-destructive about it. Sheesh.
