GIP (it's bigger on the inside than the outside.)

Finally got around to finding my doll-icon .xcfs and making myself a summer one, now that it's August. q-:

Also, I seem to have accreted myself a Dr. Who sound theme on the laptop.

And now that I've finally found a good, short overview on the Doctor which is suitable for someone who has not once, in her life, watched an episode of the show -- except between midnight and 4:00 in the morning -- perhaps I will finally learn to keep my Doctors straight. (I have discovered that the ones I like best are 1, 3, and 7, I am reasonably fond of 4 and 5, and I have seen almost nothing of 2 and 6. And none at all of 9, of course, which I am waiting for until I can acquire it legally. [My uncle is a very old-school Dr. Who fan who is not internet-enabled and he didn't even know 9 existed!] And, speaking of stupid American TV decisions, I saw 8 when he first appeared and all I remember is that he was not *my* Doctor.)

And this is the best mood theme ever, and I'd switch to it if I weren't still convinced that someday I'll finish my Snoopy one.

Um. In other news, stuff has been happening, and I haven't been updating my lj about it. Vacation Bible School is this week. The lady doing the food has decided that *every single day* she is going to serve the kids boiled greens as their snack, and *nobody* has been able to talk her out of it.

This laptop's power situation is very dodgy. The batteries are acting highly erratic, the power cord is 9/10s of the way frayed through, the socket it goes into is bent and has a loose connection, and the casing is cracked all around it. It's currently working only due to the magic of duct tape; when that fails, I do have some epoxy putty. What I really need is a sonic screwdriver. q-:

ETA: 57%, yay!

We had a food lady like that when I was a youngun, 'cept it was brussels sprouts she favored. (Nasty back then, not so bad now...)

Eh. The problem is, VBS is supposed to be daycamp *fun*. The snacks are supposed to be like, brownies and potato chips and ants-on-a-log. Not *kale* and *bean casserole* and *sweet potatoes*!

She won't listen.

Ants-on-a-log! I so miss those. (That's the celery + peanut butter + raisin one, right?)

I am SO picking up some raisins tomorrow.
