- Hey, there’s actually going to be a contest next week. 🙂
- If linkity seems a bit sparse this week, it’s because I’m tired (from a thunderstorm that started really early this morning and kept me awake) and a bit frazzled (I have a handyman here this week to do a partial bathroom remodel).
- I live on a big hill, so no flooding here, fortunately. But our governor has declared a state of emergency in 35 Minnesota counties. It’s the wettest year on record to date… and only 6 inches less than our ANNUAL normal precipitation level. Professional kayaker takes on the raging Minnehaha Falls. Photo gallery.
Contest(s)
- Blodeuedd’s giving away a copy of The Trouble Next Door by Marie Harte. Closes June 26. US & Canada.
Bookity
- New releases: Fiction Vixen (UF/romance)
Think, Learn, Make, Do
- The US Supreme Court has ruled that you can’t patent an abstract idea – you have to actually make something. Bad news for patent trolls, poor things.
- A post from me (I know! Gasp!) about adding comments to things when you reblog them on Tumblr. (Some people get kind of crazy when people add comments to their stuff, which is pretty amusing, since usually their stuff are gifsets they’ve created from videos for which they do not own the rights.)

“What was that noise? Was that the handyman’s truck?! Should I run and hide before Mom tries to lock me in the kitty room?” -Chaos
Ha Ha – if that was my black cat, imagined noise or no, he’d be gone 😀 ! Hope your re-model turns out well. I’ve just released my hall floorboards from their imprisoning carpet and my next job is a new boiler and bathroom – but the lovely sunny [smirk] weather has me “mañana”-ing that plan 🙂 .
soooo tired of rain, thunder, rain, etc. My garden is underwater. Coffee work and sleep sound good right about now!
Ah, I knew my cats were strange…. they believe in supervising any visiting handyman (or woman)… preferably if they can do it by sneaking up on them and then doing the whole weeping angels freezing thing when the handyman turns round to look…..
Poor kitties, poor you, I hope the thunder and the handyman go away soon.
I can add an odd phobia to the list
We had a dog with food phobia once, if there was more than one kibble in his bowl he ran away and hid under whatever was the closest -and not occupied by a kitty, it took us ages to figure out how to feed him properly, but he made it to 9 years
No idea what that phobia is called though
RUN! HA. Friday = holiday
Still crying over butter and buttsex. Those autocorrects cheer me up every time.
That Potato and Chorizo Salad looks good.
Life is always a series of questions, Chaos. I’d run if I were you.
Clown motel. *shudder*
Re: flooding. Elder Son had the closing on his house in Sioux Falls on Wednesday, the day after all their flooding and tornados and general wet mayhem. Title agent said a lot of closings were canceled that day because the buyers found wet basements during their final walkthroughs. He found his basement to be COMPLETELY DRY during his final walkthrough. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than right.
Glad you live on a hill! Hope you sleep well tonight, I don’t think I will after looking at those photos of fish-eating spiders…
Chris- Clowns and spiders- that’s it for me.
You have a “kitty room”?
Definitely poised ready to flee there Chaos! Dont blame him, people disturbing nap time at home are not easily tolerated
Glad you’re on a hill! Lol, most of those streets in LA are still dirt roads, metaphorically speaking. Stay dry!
That is a FUN NOTEBOOK. Even if I think it would drive me NUTS trying to use it…
Whooping cough? Oh dear. Oh, and speaking of things about California that I’m not thrilled about, we’ll take your excess water. Kinda short of the stuff over here.
