I always get spam here. The nice thing with WordPress is that spam posts and trackbacks both can be placed in moderation, so deleting them is easy. “Mark all as spam” and “Bulk Moderate Comments” – two clicks and they’re gone. I do that before I write. It’s normally the expected assortment of porn and porn-like stuff, with some pharmaceutical ads and porn-related pharmaceuticals. I wonder that anyone in the world still pays any attention to these.

Today, there was not a single one of those. No, I got some that I’d never seen before. A site with good names for dogs. Dog breeders. Three dictionaries – one English, one Japanese/English, and one Spanish/English. Good thing I’ve already had two cups of coffee, or my brain might have exploded from the bizarreness of it.

Dropped Audrey off. Picked her up. Gave rides home to two of her bandmates. Folded more laundry. And ironed.

I have been ironing for almost three friggin’ hours now, and there’s still more to go. I really just need to keep up with this better. Argh.

There was nothing wrong with the washer. Yet.

I’ve been putting more miles on the van with this marching band stuff than I have in ages.

We were catching up on Daily Show and Colbert Report. The guy who wrote the book on China told Jon Stewart about how religion was growing over there as communism became less stringent, and hubby and I wondered why this was supposed to be a good thing. Colbert interviewed Michael Behe, and missed numerous opportunities to rake him over the coals.

I still haven’t caulked, spackled, or primed. I have too much laundry to fold in the room, so I can’t get to the walls.

I’m waiting for two different masons to show up, since the first two never did. I might have to learn to pour concrete myself at this rate.

It’s so miserable out here that my glasses fog up as soon as I leave the house. I wish it would rain and get it over with!

So, with so many things left to do, and so much in the world that irritates me, I’m going to take a break and play with my clay and make a piece or two of jewelry. I’ll feel a little more refreshed and ready to deal with all the other stuff.
