Left to my own devices

Tom's off to Berkeley for the next few days to meet with his collaborator on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) project.

He's also getting ready to do a Beryllium-10 run on some ice core samples from Antarctica and is working on his application to go to our seventh and least visited continent next fall for the drilling of a new core.

I am enjoying my hiatus from the froth and spittle of my usual posts for now and taking a nice breather from pulse-pounding blog patrolling for conservative miscreants with lies to peddle.

I am hoping to have a meatier post for tomorrow, but still something on the lighter side, likely without nudity (apologies for this one below--- kind of :).

Hope you all have a great hump day.

Requiem in Swear Words: The Sopranos

There's a big gaping hole in my world.

I miss The Sopranos.

I found this online today.

It is an amazing (and foul-mouthed) compilation that tells the entire story across six seasons-- using only the words "f*ck" (including every derivation of that term) and "sh*t":

I need to keep things light for a few days.

I've been way too serious for a while now and it's starting to affect my complexion and my sex life.

Way too much info, I know. Sorry family members who might peek in; you know I swear, but the sex thing, not so much.

Happy Hump Day all.

PS: Meeting with diss. chair went excellent. One chapter to go, a conference presentation next month, defense in April, and I am degreed. Wa-hoo!

Warning: DO NOT drink a beverage while reading this

First, something serious.
If you want to do something about Flush Limberger, there's an online petition to sign here.


Tom sent me this link yesterday right before he had to teach. (We got loads of snow and I was hoping like a third grader they would cancel class so he'd get home before 10:30PM-- he's teaching Astronomy again this semester so they have to hold class at night. Stupid stars keeping my husband out so late :)

According to his email subject line (and I quote directly): "Funniest sh*t I've read in a while"

I love Tom.

Enjoy:

Council and housing association complaints

The following are real extracts from actual complaint letters sent to various councils and housing associations throughout the UK.

I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage, and their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.

I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off.

My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand.

I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.

Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant. We are getting married in September and we would like it in the garden before we move into the house.

I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.

50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and the rest are plain filthy.

I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.

The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.

Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.

Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.

Would you please send a man to repair my spout. I am an old age pensioner and need it badly.

I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6am his cock wakes me up, and its now getting too much for me.

The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.

Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so please send someone round to do something about it.

I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man I have on top of me every night.

Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.

I have had the clerk of the works down on the floor six times but I still have no satisfaction.

This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broken and we can’t get BBC2.

My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it,

… and he’s got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it anymore.

... that is his excuse for dogs mess that I find hard to swallow.

Happy, Happy Hump Day

PS: As if we needed another reason to be proud of our new prez, The Equal Pay for Equal Work bill will pass today. Tomorrow, it will be the first bill signed by our new president. It is indeed a new day in America!
