Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

All's quiet...

TOO quiet, as they are won’t to say.

I haven’t had any dramas dropping into my lap, nor Drama Llama’s coming to stay. So far.

I reckon they’re saving themselves up for tomorrow.

What’s happening tomorrow, you may ask? Well, I plan on going out to get a passport photo taken. So I can take it to a friend on Sunday and get myself verified. I hope.

That’s when the Drama Llama will step up to my side and hound my arse all damn day.

Or I’ll be forbidden from going because I have to hold the dog so hubby can mow the jungle lawn.

These things are sent to try us. And make me go gray. And give me dyspepsia.

Heh. Maybe if I leave early enough, he won’t be awake to stop me >:)

As the Drama Flies: episode 2

As you may be aware from the previous episode, I have been invited to Thailand for a few weeks, and also begun the process towards getting a passport.

This involves getting hold of a registrar’s office official copy of my birth certificate and my marriage licence. Which means getting hold of the department of births, deaths and marriages.

Sure, you can get lots of information online, but you can’t order a copy of your own ID papers.

As the Drama Flies...

I usually name my mythical soap operas _All My [NOUN]s_, mad-lib style. But my life is definitely As the Drama Flies. And believe me, it’s flying pretty damn low, right now.

Got some expensive and some not-so-expensive stuff to try and train the hound not to chew shit he shouldn’t chew. Neither of said stuff is waterproof.

Gave selfsame stuff to Hubby and Mostly Shiftless. It hasn’t been seen since.

It rained.

Dog decided to

I'm assuming Anonymous already has plans...

There’s an instruction manual containing words that can get anyone who uses them on a terrorist watch list just for using them online.

Lots of them can be used in completely innocent ways. For instance: telling all the folks in InternetLand all the words that you’re not allowed to use any more.

How long, folks, before there’s an online competition to use as many of these words as humanly possible

89.8

That’s my weight, this morning. I’m finally down to sniffing distance of my target weight.

After my personal disaster cascade [see earlier posts about me tripping on a chair], I honestly believed I would be battling weight problems and increasing weight until such time as I could actually walk again.

What I forgot is that I would also be less inclined to get up and grab another snack.

Here’s my regime - or what passes for

Feckin' entropy

It’s Friday. Five days into Sore Footsville. The sink is full of dirty dishes. The countertop is full of dirty dishes and filthy pots and pans.

Laundry is piling up again. Debris is starting to gather on the floor.

I am physically incapable of doing a damn thing about it.

Hubby and Shiftless are working late every night. The only person I can rely on to do anything is Mayhem.

Mayhem’s 10. He’d much rather be

I'm going to try to be nice, but I've been seeing this all day so I apologize if I seem needlessly angry... And I hope you were serious, or...

I’ve thought about the whole “Derpy is offensive” thing ever since they were threatening to remove her completely. There are plenty of other characters across the board of age demographics who are: portrayed with “derp” eyes, voiced to imply they have a mental problem, accident-centric, and on the whole *just* as offensive as Derpy is supposed to be.

They are all male. Without a doubt. Dog of CatDog, the titular two stupid dogs and hundreds upon

Again with the censorship?

Hasbro is censoring Derpy by re-voicing her, removing her name, and correcting her lovely eyes - just for the DVD edition.

Warm up your protest pens and keyboards, folks. You can contact Hasbro with your opinion via this handy link. Get to it. Write! Outrage! Send support art!

I’ve already vented my outrage. So can you!

My reaction to Derpy being "underped"

My reaction to Derpy being "underped"

Once again, it’s time to go to arms over Derpy. This time, she’s being censored. Apparently, the DVD version of the cartoon is going to have Derpy’s famous eyes corrected.

Good God in Heaven… [or the deity of your choice] WHY?

Looks like if you can’t make the problem [the mentally disabled] go away, they’re going to pretend it didn’t exist.

So remind

Two more days...

It’s Wednesday. I promised myself that if my heel showed no signs of improvement by Friday, I would drag it and my sorry fat arse down to the local quack to see what they can do.

Besides, I’m running low on Seratide and I need a new scrip.

I also plan on checking what other rheumatism remedies there are. I was given some quinine-derived stuff last time by a specialist who wasn’t sure if it was

Disaster Cascade

I tripped on a chair, stubbed my toe, and completely bolloxed the heel of the same foot in the space of a few seconds.

In the process of hobbling to bed, I did something horrible to the opposite knee.

I need crutches just to get around, but before I got them, the rheumatism in both my wrists flared up and I needed to put my bracers on.

24 hours later, I’m not that much better.

My heel still hurts like
