I'm just a hair shy of 5'8", actually.

He's so funny, figuring things out. Didn't seem to realize if he bumped an empty Arizona tea bottle with his nose, it would fall over. It made a lot of noise and scared him. He also keeps cracking his head on the coffee table. Just hard enough for me to laugh, but not hard enough to even faze him.

Applied intelligence. Analyst work, mostly I've been studying Paraguay all trimester, and now everything's coming together. Part of it is compiling previous work, but a lot of this is new, too. I wouldn't have to spend so much time doing one thing if I hadn't got a lousy grade on it before. Bleh. The software I need to do one part of the project is proprietary, so I need to head to the lab tomorrow to use it...but I also need to fit in grocery shopping and cleaning. Double bleh.

I also need to prepare a presentation. It'll be on Thursday. I don't even wanna think of it until I get the written project part done. I think if I get that done the presentation will come easily.

Will this have anything to do with the library background you had or is this a new track altogether? In any event, how neat.

I know the story, just saying that's the first place my mind went when she posted the pic.

I don't get to watch TV enough anymore. :-(

Actually he was just abandoned for sucking. It wasen't until years later they gave him the girlfriend. The owner gave her up because apaprently they can't race once they're in love. And then came the babies and the classic song, "see my vest."

Could be either, honestly. I haven't decided yet. But right now, maybe I oughta quit procrastinating.

I want a big dog now =(
I had a rottweiler but my dad gave it away.

And a new PC. I have three. They all stopped working in the same week. Hard Disk drive and videocard in one, motherboard in another, and power supply (apparently) in the other.
But hey, I'm getting two new pcs ^_^ A Core 2 Duo 2.93 Ghz and another Core 2 duo, 2.5. I'll have the pleasure of assembling one of them (the fastest one :D)
Oh, I got my driver's licence. I parallel park LIKE GOD.

My guy has no races on file, so maybe he sucks too. They start racing at 18 months, and he's only three years old, so I'm guessing he just didn't pan out. That's okay - he tore ass around the back yard this morning, fast enough for me.

That's the way our old wolamute used to do; turn her loose, and *poof* she was gone. But I think that was as much the sleddog in her as anything. :-3

What was really funny was to see her play with the chihuahua/dachshund mix we had at the time. He'd prance around her trying to get her attention, and if she wasn't in the mood to play she'd just take on paw *fwap* send the little twerp rolling. All you would see is this big plume of dust get kicked up from around her dog house, and there would be the little one about 4 or 5 feet away.

We can bring it back.

I'm making it a point to say it to at least 5 people tomorrow.

Also, hai JoS <3

One thing I can say about this project: I got to draw up a plan to invade Paraguay from Argentina. Now how cool is that?

My boyfriend didn't share my enthusiasm though. He was all "Who would want to invade Paraguay besides you?" XD

Did I say that right? Token white guy, here.

I'm assuming that "orale" means "what's up"

My three year old niece just gave me a wet-willy. We were playing around and my brother went "Give Uncle Stephen a wet-willy" and she DID IT!!! It was really weird because those small child fingers went right into my ear, too. Just... unnerving.

My husband got a nice warm wet dog tongue in the ear on our way back from Petco today. I laughed until the dog came over and put a cold damp nose right on my neck.

You'd probably be able to read War and Peace before even a site like Yahoo loads with that rate.

Nah, it's probably just a really slow dialup connection if he's going at 10 kilobytes a second. JoS' job probably has him stationed in the outskirts of civilication right now, thus explaining the lack of a good connection. Nice to see he's alive, though. :-D

I wanted to post this last night but my connection was acting weird. I found this chainmaile pendent I wanted to try and make, but I can't quite figure out part of it. So I'm going to post a picture of the pendent here with an explanation, if anyone want's to take a crack at it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Why do pets always want to "help" you with whatever you're doing?

My cat goes into my bedroom and finds any drawers I left open, and proceeds to take everything out.

My socks end up everywhere.

*shakes head*

The only thing I can figure is that the "no problem" rings double on the backside, sandwiching the "questionable" rings in the center while their binding rings hold everything together. I'll probably just have to make one in order for people to get it.

Our dachshunds like to "help" cook. They'll sit there and watch you cook, and wait for you to drop something, then pounce on it.

begins slamming his face violently against a hard surface.

I cannot believe this shit!!!!!!!

Sunday, November 1, my neighbor asks me if I could drive to Texas and pick up her cousin. I didn't think much of it and drove there to get her. It took all day, but, meh.

we get home, and the landlord tells my neighbor there can only be 2 people to a room, and since she already has her boyfriend in her room that she would have to find another room. So.... she ends up moving into my room, taking up my bed while I sleep on the floor on a sleeping bag.

Thursday, she is sitting outside and some pretty boy that just moved in hits her with a shitty pickup line and now she thinks she's in love with him. I was planning to rent a 3 bedroom house down the road for me, my neighbor and her boyfriend, their 2 kids, and her cousin, and split the rent accordingly.

Well, she had to go back to Texas for a while, and now they want this fucking pretty boy to move in with us, and they haven't even known each other for a week and its 3 on 1 against me. I've had insomnia for several days now because I've become emotionally unstable due to this turn of events.

I feel like I've been used and am now being shit on by everyone around me, everyone INSISTing this punk ass kid should be trusted, despite no one knowing him and they're all trying their damnedest to talk me into letting him move in with us.

Tomorrow, I plan on telling them either they can move into the house with me without him, or they can figure out how to pay the deposit and rent without me.

After all the help I've given my neighbor, after hauling ass to the hospital with her and her boyfriend to have their babies (twins) delivered because he has no car, after giving them food, money, driving them all over creation, they go and pull this shit on me. The moment she laid eyes on this boy, my neighbor basically gave her the thumbs up and more or less told me "too bad so sad. don't be jealous."

When you look at the picture the the rings you say are no problem look to be doubled.
if they are, as you mentioned that would sandwich the other single 'problem' rings.
If they are sandwiched, they would go around that little double ring that holds the no problem rings & wouldn't be able to pull out....
Or at least that's what it looks like to me.
But you could easily do it if the whole thing was magnetic, & you could change it ;)

So this cousin is permanently moving to Louisiana?

That's probably the best thing to do. Were you interested in your neighbour's cousin? The words that you use to describe the guy make it look that way. In that case, if the relationship between him and your neighbour's cousin actually lasts you might keep feeling uncomfortable around him and in that case it's better to risk breaking with their clique instead of moving in with him. Otherwise, if their relationship doesn't last then you could probably reconcile with your neighbour and her clique after the break-up. And then you'd again have a shot with the cousin, if you're still interested.

On the other hand, the risk is that if they can't afford the deposit and the relationship between the new guy and the cousin breaks because of the ensuing problems you'll be blamed for it. In that case the friendship between you and your neighbour might be over. Still, that'll probably beat the alternative of constantly feeling that you're being pushed around.

Looks fairly simple to me, honestly. Then again 3-D puzzles have always been easy for me. Here's the gist:

1) The double-rings you indicated as being "no problem" sandwich the single rings you're having trouble with.

2) The double rings connecting the "no prob" rings are INSIDE the "problem" rings, as is the single ring connecting them to the central assembly.

3) Thus the "problem" rings are trapped in their positions without ever actually being interlocked with another ring.

Does that help? It'd be easier if I could draw it in real time, and shift the perspective, but that's the basic idea.

In fact, it occurs to me that you don't even need the central assembly to make it all hold together. You could probably throw together a test piece that mimics the outer ring of the pendant and it would hold together. Alternating single and double rings (doubles sandwiching the singles) then, connect the doubles by rings that fit inside the singles and viola. Then just build the central assembly and Bob's your uncle.
