h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Where has the time gone? The first week of October is already over? (Granted, the weatehr's felt more like the first week of August, till today, but that's beside the point )

So, from tomorrow afternoon through a week from Monday, we're "dog-sitting" again. Now that they've moved closer (they're in Lake View now instead of Lincoln Park; K and I live in the North Center area), we don't need to sleep there, though we're likely to at the two weekends. Might mean a little extra money, as well as a lot of slobbery dog stink and my feeling periodically wheezy. But, it's the kind of thing friends do for each other.

That's about it, really, otherwise it's been pretty much business as usual around here. We were feeling particularly lazy, and ate out or ordered in every night this week, so last night was he first we watched any Netflix: "Chop Socky- Hong Kong Cinema", which was a documentary on, well, Hong Kong cinema/ Kung Fu movies which ran on the Independent Film Channel (USAian cable) last year. It was really cool! Unfortunately, none of the films discussed which we *haven't* seen are currently available through Netflix.

Still haven't gotten my back pay from the old job, but they have begun to process my claim, we're waiting to hear back if he's agreed to pay or has requested a hearing. We'll see. Fingers crossed, everyone!

Nothing else pressing to report, so I'll close this up and get myself to work early enough to get some extra in me! Geezers aren't practicing tonight, so I ill most likely be tied up this evening (I hope! ).

I am trying my best to ease into autum.
I am trying not to be trying to others also

I could use a little cheering up.
I usually see twinny in October.
She may need to move here for a while. We are waiting on more information. Either way, whether moving or visiting I hope it is soon.

Oh abbi, I hope it is soon, I'm sure she misses you too!

Autumn???

Not here, mate. Still wearing sandals and summery dresses. Still getting up to more than +30º in the afternoons (though nights are a bit cooler than before).

This suits me quite well because I hate wearing shoes.

It's lovely here most days, nice sunny skies but not boiling hot, leaves fluttering around, all the trees changing colour. We have loads of trees here & there's a wonderful view across the Charente river from the remparts.

I sat in the doorway today peeling veggies with skankydawg at my feet, it was great, sunny & warm & lots of people passing by stopping to say hi to The World Famous Eared .

I really love Autumn!!! My favourite time of year. Spring is a close second, not fond of Winter, & Summer i really don't like much.

Hiya Abbi, Jaz'd, Az and Terri!

Abbi, I hope that whether it's staying or visiting (stay sounds more fun to me), you and Twinny and hubby will have an awesome time. Please, keep me posted???

Az, is the continued warmth a good or bad thing? Earlier this week, we had August-y weather, and truth be told, I'm ready to be done with it. I prefer what we had today- mid-40s, rain, and very windy.

Autumn is my fave, spring my second, winter and summer I can deal with but don't love in particular... though I'd take winter chill and snow over summer heat and humidity. Az'd hate it. I prefer to wear boots, no matter what, and she hates shoes!

If I can wear a sweater and not break a sweat, I'm happy! Otherwise, forget it... I'm a grouch!

I don't like summer!!!

Autumn is the the obvious superior month and spring is ok. I like winter if I don't have to go out in it and get my socks wet.

And it smells like halloween!!!!

October is my favourate month(not because of my birthday)

October is my favorite month. And *my* birthday's in May.

Happy birthday, FF, even if early, it's never *too* early, till you're 40.

My birfday is the 15th

October is my favourate month because it smells better than the other months

I know what you mean, and I LOVB the smell!!

Wish you could get to chicago, or we to Canada, to meet! In the nice smell!

And happy early b-day (will keep wishing you for next week )

Oh

It would be very if we could meet

It's very rare to find others who acknowledge the wonderful scent of October. If they could bottle *that* maybe I'd consider wearing perfume

Well, mebbe we could arrange a meeting, Canada is not so far off.... email me and we'll work it out. wyrdsister 23 at hotmail dot com.

They've bottled October , apparently, but it's $100 a bottle. Will keep you posted and will also offer to ship local goodies.

$100 American??? I can get it for free if I roll around outside for a while

I will e-mail you... I'll try very hard not to forget(I have a bit of a list of "people to e-mail").

If I happen to forget and you remember could you maybe leave me a message or something? (I don't feel like bothering with e-mail right now)

No worries. I'll message you either way. Cuz I you no matter!!


(I found some purfume I want, but hubby isn't likely to buy it... but I'll take the Ramones box set, barring purfume!!! )

I think I'd prefer the Ramones box set!

I just found this link in another thread and it's hilarious!!!

Goodnight!

Hi Abbi, sorry you are feeling down, wish you were online so I could cheer you up some!
