The word "waffle" has been bandied before me in three separate LJ entries today by three different people: Exhibit A. Exhibit B. Exhibit C. So I bought a box of toaster waffles (not owning a waffle iron) and a bottle of real maple syrup and had that for dinner.

While running weekly reports at work, I noticed that the number of jobs on it was up. It's a trickle compared to the boom year we had for much of 2008 before the bottom fell out, but I'm taking it as a hopeful sign that our company has picked up some contracts.

learnteach for the win, having articulated why the Letter V thing was making my brain itch. Can we save the word "valor" for people who risk their lives to do the right thing? "Responsibility" is a perfectly good word.

Cautiously good news from la_peregrina . Hope it continues. Hope is a good word. I like that one a lot.

Obviously I am not at Coronet. Camping, particularly at a site where you have to trundle your belongings from parking area to campsite via wagon, particularly after this week's heavy rains, smacked of too much effort. I will day trip. I will visit my friends, watch some fighting, perhaps pull a taiko out of the back of the truck and practice a little at a safe distance and studiously ignore Rumor, Gossip and Politics. Then I shall kidnap mamapduck and make her pay for her part in the LJ Waffle Conspiracy.

I do believe I need to go downstairs and put on "The Hidden Fortress". Mifune-san calls to me and there is a princess to save. Just as soon as I upload.......

I don't go to that page. Ever.
I hate it.
I hate that some people insisted on reducing him to foot fetish jokes and it got put there.
I hate that photos I took were used without my permission.

I hate that it needs to exist.

I didn't read the one you wrote two years ago. I will not read the one you gave Eilis. If you have any respect for me, you will not send it to me.

My apologies, then. If I've given this no thought, it is because other concerns weigh heavier upon me at the present time. Yes, this is a "d'oh" moment.

I did not know that your pictures were used without consulting you. Wow.

FWIW, would you still read something I end up writing about you?
