It involved lots of ( rolling in badger poo. )

Now I know why the Royal Mail is royally rich. [Jun. 17th, 2009|01:00 am]
Today I got a little red slip saying there's a parcel for me that is undeliverable because the sender did not provide enough postage.


... to the tune of £17.58 (although that includes a £1.00 handling surcharge because of the transgression).


First the Cornwallian and I thought it might be a late birthday present from my father, since he forgot this year and I never got anything. But he has sent boxes to the UK (even to Shetland!) in the past and affixed the correct postage.



So........ before I pay this seventeen pound thingy, any fun guesses what it is that could possibly cost so much to ship? My first guess was another Great Dane from the fairy dogmother, but to be honest they'd probably be paying me to take it off the postmaster's hands.

[music |I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone.]

I decided I'd better make a damn account already, if only to stop somebody else from taking the "aquilinum" name.


Or is that @aquilinum? Oh, Twitter. I don't understand you or your point. Not yet, anyway.

I wonder how often people on LiveJournal mean to say an awful lot — but then can't find the words, or use other words, or partial words, or absolutely the correct words but for an absolutely incorrect audience — and how much then falls through the cracks, never addressed, never solved, never supported, never quashed, never refuted, never noted.

I moved to the UK on a German passport. The miracle that is the EU enabled me to just get on the plane, flash my European passport on arrival at London Gatwick, and get a job in the UK.

I love it when two "pros" listed in a restaurant review are:

the staff were nice to the vagrant and they weren't upset when we left.

New favorite snack ever:

1 sachet Clearspring miso broth with sea vegetables
+ a cup or a little less boiling water
+ torn, rinsed leaves/chunks of 1 head little gem lettuce, added after water to prevent cooking

On my mind... [Mar. 23rd, 2009|12:35 pm]
So I was looking at Georgia themed t-shirts and getting all sentimental. Mostly because I laughed/cackled at shirts that I know nobody here would find funny.


Things like:

Stop the war in Georgia! (but written inside an outline of the state, not country)

Without Atlanta, we're Alabama. (bwa ha ha!)

Visit Georgia [or just keep driving to Florida] (particularly funny to me, as I grew up right off I-75, aka the We're-just-on-our-way-to-FL Highway)





Still, it's been sunny for a whole week now, so I should shut my ingrate mouth. At first, with two or three days of sun, all the locals were overjoyed... but now everybody's a bit scared and creeped out. What kind of penance will we pay for this?! We NEVER get this many consecutive days of sunshine. Okay, today's cold and overcast again, but not really all that bad, either.


...okay, by the end of writing that paragraph, it's gone all gray and cold again. Guess I jinxed this area. Sorry, guys. MY BAD.

I've been up way too early three mornings in a row. I'll bet I'm the only person I know who today attended the wedding of her husband's parents (yes, to each other!).



That sentence was phrased very poorly. I'm going to go take a nap.

What occupation would you MOST like for your significant other?

I don't mean that as in: "Oh, I am with Person X and Person X is a coat-hanger retailer, so I will say coat-hanger retailer." Nonono. You can still be with (or dream of being with) whatever PERSON, regardless of their actual employment status.

Would you love to be wife of a farmer? Boyfriend of a computer programmer? In a civil union with a corsetière? Engaged to a large marine mammal dental specialist?
