Sew what?

Not that I'm up to major household projects or anything, but I didz stuff today. Murdered several hundred gazillion dust bunnies throughout the house, including those hard-to-reach spots under the beds. Moved one of said beds to actually fix the sieve of a storm window in this office. Put storms in front and back doors. Hellz, I even mended something- a comforter where the filling was squeezing out like toothpaste every night.  My only major Fail was not keeping up with the squirrel attacks at the bird feeders; fortunately, this has now been All Explained to me by this photograph (thanks, Kate, loveya, smooches):



All that, and even some work-work. With no mail or bank yesterday, and me on the road for almost the entire day, I had a lot to crank out. Part of yesterday was a full hour's wait at a client's office, which I blessedly covered by bringing The Passage along. I'd brought it to my first appointment of the day, to show the client, with a fairly uncommon name, that he had a character with his exact name in the novel (Michael and Sara's father, if you're reading along at home, and in a geeky line of work not too far off from what his namesake does in real life).  That got me within a few Parts of finishing it, and I should have it all-eyes by the end of the night tonight.

Tonight, a free-range roast chicken, and Mel Brooks's History of the World Part One. Subtitled for our resident rodents thusly:



Also, the dog. Who's been begging for noms since I started typing this pretty close to 1700 hours. "Set your clocks back" my ass.

Allow the dog to eat the squirrels.

Rocky would kick either dog's ass, best two out of three falls.

Oh, those dust bunnies, it's not easy to win a battle with them! :D

It's been years- decades, more likely- since it ran, but someone used to do a radio commercial for some cleaning product or service that promised to defeat an army of dust bunnies heard humming in a high-pitched voice to the tune of the theme to the movie Bridge On the River Kwai (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r03GGpKedY) (strictly, the Colonel Bogey March from 1914). Even though we've long forgotten what particular company ran the ads, we still occasionally whistle the theme song when finding significant bunnyage in corners of the house.

(Edited to replace the missing space hauled off by the DB army;)

LOL

They are even more dangerous creatures than I thought. ;)

I just let the little bastards have the run of the house, at this point.

Maybe that's a wiser choice than the never-ending battles. :)

Swiped the squirrel pic and sent it to my wife's family. It's the sort of thing Mom would have loved. She gave us her squirrel Wanted poster when she moved into the assisted living facility:

Dust bunnies can amalgamate, you know. You may have moved on them just in time.
