More updates elsewhere

[johnpalmer]

Well... the good news is, work has slowed down, some, and I probably won't continue to be run ragged for the next few weeks.

The bad news... well, there isn't any. Not yet. I'm not letting my guard down, yet... there've been suspicious chicken sightings... including http://www.floppytaco.com/video_clips/angrychicken.php. Thanks to all my friends who gave me warnings about the deadly danger! Did you know that chickens have been known to carry WMDs, weapons of mealtime destruction? It's got me nervous... how do they handle them without opposable thumbs?

Still... new updates on For The Dream and LongHairedWeirdo. Kind of a dual-update, on a similar topic, and demonstrating why I want to run two blogs.

This weekend is going to be a writing-kinda weekend, and I'll be posting writings that were going to be chapters of my book on the website, if all goes well. Links will follow. Be warned: these essays are viciously partisan. How? I'm not sure, but since I'm one of those goddamned-hippiecommieliberals, I figure it's going to be painted as viciously partisan by some, no matter *what* I say, so I might as well start the ball rolling myself :-).

Well, I'm glad to hear there's no bad news, but just in case, a quick Google suggests that hydrated lime is a good chicken repellent (http://www.plamondon.com/ncp_newsletter030801.html). Of course, you'd need to (a) acquire some hydrated lime, (http://www.peterschemical.com/calcium_hydroxide_or_hydrated_li.htm) (b) sprinkle it around the perimeter of the apartment complex and (c) repeat every time it rains ...

Nah, probably too much hassle. Maybe we can work up a spell ...

I suggest frying the chicken myself. We had a nice one this evening.

I would be glad to have you fry the chicken yourself, but first we would have to lure it to your apartment complex, and if we did that it might start making plans with the livestock in your area. Personally, I think it's too risky.

Well, you could lull it into a false sense of security for Pat's next visit. I'm sure she's more than able to fry it up nicely.

Hey... yeah... a spell.

All we need is to do a lot of spells, and soon we'll have spelling bees flying everywhere, stinging (s-t-i-n-g-i-n-g) every chicken out there.

No... no, that wouldn't work. They would savage poor Winnie-the-Pooh for "hunny". I couldn't live with that on my conscience.

Have you seen this photo on Flickr?

Oh, great ... give me nightmares, why don't you?

*argh* Which website? :)

[johnpalmer.livejournal.com]

Some directory off of www.forthedream.com... once I finally have them uploaded. Pat is creating templates for me to use to publish them, because I'm still far behind the learning curve at web design.

[blackthornglade.livejournal.com]

*heh* That makes two of us. One of these days I'll learn CSS. Really.

YOu need to find the Swedish Chef. He'll take care of the chicken problems.

Not that I would advocate such a thing . . .

Can I snurch that link, btw? It would go over well on my LJ.

Howdy! :)
