@gnomon Just hanging out, smelling the grass, enjoying the yard.

It's huge.

There's a giant raccoon in my back yard.

Ordered the pizza. That way I can hug the cat and eat instead of listen to the cat yell at me while I cook.

@taweret No, the people who make the pizzas are regular customers of mine.

Should I buy a pizza or eat the food I already own?

@yomimono How much do you like the family? Could you replace them with cats?

@yomimono You're spending too much on housing if your utilities are only $120. I'd recommend finding something you can get a cheaper 30 year mortgage on to free up some family not dying money. If you can find an especially good deal (my mortgage is $270 fixed, but I don't know if I could find that again now) you could maybe even budget a little more for joke domain names.

proof

While running errands I spent some time at a red light behind someone who painted over their license plate frame to write "cats rule" on it instead.

cat: I'm sitting on your arm now.
human: ok

The lot I've been using is also substantially more full now, but everybody else seems to have waited til very last minute to move there.

This is the foot of my driveway now. Glad I wasn't parked there.

Have the Bubble Bobble tune in my head. Maybe I'll replay Yoiyami Dreamer (aka Touhou Bubble Bobble) tonight.

So much sneezing

Arrived at work to find a 50 pound coffee order. That's the cutoff for free shipping but they're close enough I might just do the delivery run myself.

Nobody else on the street is making alternative parking arrangements. Would not be surprised if everybody else gets towed or trapped in their driveway once the contractors get around to rebuilding the street. I'm using the free lot half a block away because I can read.

Me: Hi, I'd like to buy one of your $10K machines but I have a few questions that I need answered before I can do that.
Salesperson at trade show: Sure, email that to me.
me (email): *questions*
salesperson: (no reply)
me (several days later from an alternate email address): *questions*
salesperson: (no reply)
me a couple months later: *calls phone number on business card, leaves voicemail*

It shouldn't be this hard to spend several thousands of dollars. I want to buy, take the easy sale.
