Audblog crash and burn

[talktooloose]

It's astonishing how people suck at audio blogging. All these otherwise coherent, literate friends become babbling idiots. I won't name names so, if you're feeling offended, I promise I didn't mean you.

This morning, while the laundry was going 'round and 'round at the laundromat, I wandered down and knocked at a certain door and a sleepy redrunner appeared in a positively quaint nightdress, followed by a sleepy snowmit dressed and coiffed exactly as usual. They had just spent their second night in Toronto and still have no phone, but tomorrow I'm meeting them at 1:00 p.m. for a guided tour of the neighbourhood. What delights await them! Fiesta Farms! KaChi the Korean restaurant with the delicious discount porkbone soup. The Beguiling, the best comic book shop on the continent!

They were helped in their move by eversearching who is staying in town until Thursday when she will return to Ohio. When she appeared at the door, I was introduced for the first time in my life to someone who knew me only by my LJ identity. I felt like a celeb and acted like a goof.

Y'know, babbling idiot. Not at all coherent or literate.

But I am accomplished. I was Mr. Handyman around the house today and we have beautiful casing around the kitchen window and a door from the garden to the garage that you don't have to herniate yourself to open anymore. That's got to count for something.

In other news, I heard someone trying to break into our back door while we were watching television. As I predicted before I got there, it was a raccoon who scuttled away into the darkness. I did a double take because it looked exactly like a rear view of our cat -- round, striped and looking vaguely guilty. Voluptuous kitty has to go to the doctor next week and we're going to see if the diet food has helped him shed any pounds. I'm not hopeful. Can he find gainful employment as a raccoon impersonator, I wonder.
