Countdown…
Some results of my Political Junkie Tour of Belle Meade above. Really couldn’t get a bead on Algore’s house; too many trees. It’s big. Frist’s is ginormous.
Okay, here’s the shed-yule:
Today:
8:30 Vet appointment — yay, we’re getting wormed!
11:00 Movers
6:00 A friend picks me up to take a last box to FedEx and have dinner
Tomorrow:
First thing: empty and clean the fridge, tidy generally
11:00 Real estate agent picks me up
11:30 Closing
3:00 Cat dropped at freight place
9:00 Our mutual plane leaves
2:15 (7:15 local time) We arrive at Heathrow. Clearing a cat through takes 3-4 hours. Don’t ask me why.
6:00 (11:00) My driver arrives.
?
Profit!
Deep breath — here we go! I’m shutting down this machine…

(…)
All my faults perchance thou knowest,
All my madness none can know;
All my hopes, where’er thou goest,
Wither, yet with thee they go.
But ‘t is done — all words are idle —
Words from me are vainer still;
But the thoughts we cannot bridle
Force their way without the will.
Fare thee well ! thus disunited,
Torn from every nearer tie,
Sear’d in heart, and lone, and blighted,
More than this I scarce can die.
– Lord Byron “Fare Thee Well”

Shamelessly exploiting Mother Earth’s organic photovoltaic factories to cover his big house. What a dick.
Hope you packed your thermal undercrackers. It’s awfully brisk at the moment.
You’re going to get here before the riots start too, which is nice.

Remember, when you get there, don’t stare at the hobbits’ feet, it makes them uncomfortable.
Take care.

Am I the only one that she’s using the royal “we” when referring to getting wormed?

Worm your weasel.
Hmmm. That doesn’t sound quite kosher, for some reason.

Heh. Pipe down in here. I still got my laptop computer!
Wormed. As I pulled in the driveway with La Pussoe, the movers were already here — two hours early! So that last load of laundry? Fuggedabaoudid! They’re swarming through here like locusts.
Cat has locked herself in the closet and refuses to come out.

My point exactly, Jill. And it conjures up a montage of mental images that are both confusing and disturbing—and yet, oddly titillating.
/working “titillating” into at least one sentence a day. Yes, I know; I’m so immachure.

Worming the Weasel sounds like a breakdance move.
Or maybe a mime routine.
Travel well, lady, and may your new home be all that you hoped it would.

How do you titillate an ocelot?

I’m so excited for you.
As a devoted yet selfish minion, when will you be back online? A timeframe will help me manage the withdrawal symptoms. (I don’t comment as often, but I still read often. I need my daily Weasel fix!)

Worming a Weasel.
Titillating an Ocelot.
Milking a Marmoset.
This could go downhill rather quickly.
Have a safe journey Weasel.

Fair winds and following seas, Weas. Our loss is England’s gain. I just hope they know what they’re in for!

What, nobody? You oscillate her tit a lot! Duh!
Thanks for the good wishes, everybody. The movers are still sucking all my worldly possessions out the front door. Musli, I got a repeat graphic that’s going to auto-post tomorrow, but I’ll be back online Wednesday. Probably won’t be anything clever, but I’ll let you know how everything went.
I’m not sure I have the “Weekend Weasel” graphic on me, so that may be suspended until my stuff arrives, but everything else will be back to normal.
Except it’ll talk wrong and smell of fruitcake.

Safe travels. Did you get some kitty tranq’s for the feline?
Yourself? I once left SFO with an onboard bottle of duty-free cognac and two valiums…quickest flight to Charles DeGaulle ever.
I wonder what carwash Pauly Shore is working in these days?

Not allowed to tranq them now, Gromulin. The idea is that if the plane encounters turbulence, the animal has to be able to brace itself appropriately.
Me? To the gills!

Gibby: Believe it or not, mostly busy with classwork and Church. My bosses are also expecting me to get work done. Feh.
I’m taking microeconomics (first 5 weeks, macro in the next 5) and financial management. I am not a numbers or business or economics person at all. It’s very hard and takes a lot of work. Not to mention groupwork in all classes.
Well, in 2009/2010, classes will be over.
I do miss you all!

Oh, and regarding the casas de politicos…at least Frist earned his by actually improving and saving people’s lives.
The bloated windbag is all about doing the opposite.

Bon voyage. Can’t wait for the Across the Pond posts to start. And, of course, new flaming weasel graphics. I’m using the old ones to keep my kids entertained on their computer so I can fritter away more time on mine.

Safe trip Ms Weas! We’ll miss you!
Watch out for all the cameras (and the old people crossing signs! I love those!)
Will they be offering classes on what to do with your garbage bins so you dont get in trouble? Or do they just jump ya after the fact? Let us know!

The silence from this end (in case anyone was wondering) was due to a poor old badger running around trying to Get It Right…
Thanks for the good wishes, imaginary friends – it’s all very strange… and yet comforting.
I’d do an image of a badger with his arse on fire…only… badgers can’t do computer pictures.
Just imagine the scent of singed fur… and the sound of much anguished yelping π

In Gringoland, UB, if something burns your ass to a crisp, that means it has angered you mightily, e.g., “A four-hour process to get my kitteh out of hock after a nine-hour flight just burns my ass to a crisp!”
Of course, it may mean “Happy birthday!” in BritSpeak, for all I know.

Where is Gringoland, jwpaine? I’m in New Mexico, and the editors of my hypocrital, reverse-racist local paper love to call the good ole US of A “Gringolandia” in their self-righteous editorials.
