Yeah, it's the damned dragon eggs again. I try not to post them on the flist too often, but a couple of them are getting down to the wire (grow up or die), so I'm asking for clicks. You guys rock! *grins winningly*

*****

One of the benefits of living alone is that I can cook food that neither James nor Meredith like and enjoy it without listening to the chorus of 'Ewwwwwwwww'. Tonight? A thoroughly artery-clogging meal of breaded chicken livers fried in bacon grease. (I know, I know - Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. I like 'em, sue me.) I rarely make this meal because I'm the only one who eats it, unless my mom's around, and my craving is generally satisfied by far less than the entire tub of chicken livers. On the upside, I don't think there's a less expensive meat. My excuse for making it now is that I'm donating blood tomorrow and I have a tendency towards anemia. Yay iron.

Other unimportant news of the week... I started Monday off by forgetting a meeting had been scheduled for Monday morning at 9:00. Yeah, didn't make that one. Whoops.

Then I had to re-do a financial because Finance decided my fee percentage was four thousandths of a percent too high. Yeah, I love the Finance dept. Anal fucks.

I've got some fun stuff planned for my RP characters, so that's nice. Not ALL my characters, but a few. Makes me happy.

*yawn*

And... I'm tired.

While I'm here, click on my eggs if you feel like it. :D The little blue baby is one I bred with my grown-up dragons. Are you excited? And if you want to see the ones you've helped grow up, go here: http://dragcave.net/user/kateinva

I just wanted to read descriptions of the eggs, but it appears that once you've clicked on them they are 'yours'. No, really. I didn't mean it, it just happened.

So, the only one I'm super concerned with is the blue sparkly one that I really picked. The green one did (somehow) come with a lot of views already, so that's kind of neat. The white one is there if you feel like clicking them.

Sorry. Really.



Oh! And for those of you that have asked about why it doesn't show repeat clicks, I've discovered that it doesn't acknowledge them if I use the back button, but it will if I reload the page. Like, my LJ is my home page. So I click the egg, then click my home icon, and click again, and it counts the view. I'm not entirely convinced it doesn't count the repeat clicks with the back button, but maybe you don't see it until the page reloads? I'm not sure.

In non-time-sucking dragon news, James and I went to Akasaka last night for dinner. We don't go to Japanese steakhouses often because it's expensive, but man, do we always have a good time. Just for starters, it's fun to say Akasaka, and it's a palindrome. Anyway, we were seated next to a couple that happened to be from the same part of Tennesse as James, and who had gone to his alma mater. The husband worked in defense contracting, like me. The wife was a grammar nazi, also like me (though I've been slipping in recent years). James shared saki with the wife. Chuck Norris jokes were made. And James and I ended our meal with Tempura ice cream, which is fabulous. I wondered aloud if you had to be 21 to get the ice cream because the saki is definitely not all burned off when they light it on fire. Can't you just see groups of high schoolers hanging out at the sushi bar, trying to get wasted on liquored ice cream? So, yeah. Good times.

Edit: Jenny told me how to abandon the eggs, so I got rid of one of the white ones. :D

Continuing the quest for clicks. Pretty please.
