Rubber duckies and inexplicable faux bunny fur.

Had a pretty nice weekend with the fambly. Santa brought me some lovely rubber duckie jammies, with bubbles and everything, and we all know that jammies make everything better in my world. They're also an excellent replacement for the set that's on loan for this year's UNIPEP season.

And lo, with the gift of a Home Depot card, we were able to acquire new lights for the entryway and hallway (which agrnmn installed last night). The hallway is now officially "mostly painted." Really, there's just bit of touch-up left and we'll be ready to polyurethane the lot. Well, then the ceiling. But I'm not talking about that yet. We will need a lot of help with that one, since it's literally over my head.

All told, I only received one inexplicable gift: a faux rabbit fur reversible vest. Yup, it's reversible...and very, very white. ( Read more... )

Also, because I'm bored.

So, matchgirl42 did an interesting thing last week: she made a voice post, and asked folks on her list to do the same, so we could attached real-world "voices" to online ones (at least for paid users). Seemed like fun, and I think I want to play along...except that I'm utterly incapable of figuring out what to say.

This is where you get to have some fun with me, people. Is there something you'd like to hear me reading or saying? To you? To post in my LJ? Is there a particular kind of voice or accent you'd like me to do, or just be myself? Please remember that voice posts are made by way of telephone, so the sound quality may not be great. I will attempt to fulfill within 72 hours.

In consideration of those who might find me terrifying, or who might fear I'd find their request stoopid, weird, or objectionable in some way, I declare a temporary amnesty on Flaming Death (for this purpose only, for this week only). If you want it, ask for it. If I don't wnat to do it, I'll decline. No harm, no foul. I'm even going to screen comments...but if you're very sensitive about it, just email me, okay? (I can't guarantee I'll get the screening thing right.)

Go fer it.

EDIT: It's worth repeating -- "I'm utterly incapable of figuring out what to say." That goes for any request to "pick my favorite" from something or other. For many of you, this opportunity to boss me around may never come again. I'm very good at compartmentalizing information about people, and I'm feeling indulgent. Make the most of it, okay?
