Zombie warning

I'm helping jill wrap presents. Santa got Shane a bleeding zombie target. And Liam is getting a remote controlled flying clown fish. Who knew such things existed?? (at the same time, I'm grateful for my non consumerist life)

Chairs

We got guest chairs! Also from buffalo business interiors. I took a couple shots of the desk that the PartnerTBNL likes. We also got internet connectivity. It took about five hours total - an hour or so on Saturday and then four hours today. That's not including time on the phone with various parts of Verizon. However, I'm thrilled the office is set up and ready to work in.

Office chair & plants

We still need chairs for guests and a coat hook rack.

Our desks have these strange cord keepers with brushes. They meet in the center and then also have little brushes along the window side of the desks. A very strange innovation.

Desks!

We got two beautiful solid wood desks and returns from Buffalo Business Interiors.

The warehouse is HUGE - just ridiculous numbers of identical chairs and desks. Each new giant room was another laugh. It was pretty overwhelming but we waded thru two floors of stuff and found three sets we liked. Well, two sets we both liked and one that I liked. We went with the nicest looking of the two. PartnerTBNL fell in love with a custom $12,000 desk that had been used and refinished and is now selling for $2,500. Oi. Of course, my dream desk is an antique oak one which I'm sure will cost a pretty penny as well.

We're waiting for internet connectivity. And the PartnerTBNL needs a chair.

Hungarian mushroom soup v2

In (e:heidi,55503) I made this Hungarian Mushroom Soup. I'm making it again, this time with the Hungarian half-sharp paprika and a selection of mushrooms. It's still brewing and it's already way better. I'm completely sold on the paprika. I had no idea it could have flavor. I thought it was just for coloring.

How old is your deer?

I think y'all need to know this.

I know that the PA Game Commission's budget is mostly derived from license sales but I'm feeling kinda bitter about it being able to have a flashy youtube site (see

) at the same time the state promised to fund the NPHS building project at 24.5% and is now only going to fund it at 21%, and the whole project is at risk because fucking Corbett is unwilling to tax the terribly destructive and polluting natural gas industry and has enacted even more programs and loopholes to give state taxpayer money away to corporations that are doing just fine on their own. Even all-day kindergarten is at risk! It's absurd! All the programs that Jill & I used to revive our town are gone, turned into handouts and tax breaks to big biz.
