Toastie Bear... toast?
We haven't used the electric blanket for a couple of days, since it's been warm. The weather is finally cooling back down -- it's 29 out there -- so last night, we turned on Toastie Bear. I only turned the blanket up to 3, but Trish complained that she was cold -- I thought 3 would be enough -- then said she could feel the heat, & this morning, I was cold in bed, when I woke up at 6:20. I went to take a leak, woke Trish up to take her Synthroid, then turned up the heat. Trish says she feels warmer, but the blanket doesn't feel warm to the touch. I really hope Toastie Bear isn't toast. We haven't abused the thing, like by going bouncy-bouncy on it, for example: when Trish gave me a real atomic blowjob last night, we moved Toastie Bear off the bed, & if he's busted, his miniature microprocessor brain is supposed to display an error message. The main problem is that Trish gets paranoid when I turn the heat up too much, but tonight I'm turning it up to 4, just to start. With Quilty Bear also on the bed, it can be hard to tell which one is keeping you warm. Since the blanket has a 5-year warranty, I'll definitely try to find the warranty card & mail it in.
I've also just mailed AD, yesterday, when I was out with Car-girl, who kept lol on every page, but didn't understand the crystallogy. I sent it to F&SF, who are most likely to return it with a form, but I figured the 2-3 bucks in postage made it worthwhile to try a "major market", even though I can't stand 90% of the stuff that they publish. This is part of the problem. I can't sit down with an issue, psych out what the editor wants (Invisible Hog), & give it to him.
We also picked up some bread at the bread store, so even if Toastie Bear is toast, we can have real toast. I rarely have toast for brecchie, I have it as a snack. I didn't snack too much yesterday, though, as the Layout went out to the Duck Inn for the all-you-can eat buffet & I had weiner-schnitzels, among other things.
When I got home Trish was playing Penguins & the 5 CDs in the changer, including Phish, Britney (what else?), Eurhythmics, & Rock-&-Roll Fantasy. She became disappointed when I relayed the news to her that Car-girl had to haul Jeremy around town & would be an hour late; why, then, couldn't I watch Britney?, she said. (One of the most common errors in Critters is dialogue punctuation. I can't count the number of people who say, "'[quote].' He said.".) So, we put in the Live from Las Vegas DVD. When Car-girl did show up, I just watched TV while Trish was gone. I didn't feel like watching a DVD or VHS. We kept the TV going, when she showed up with some pillow cases & a couple suckers, then I fixed a nugget meal TV dinner, while Trish simply ate a sandwich. We headed to bed a little early, as I guess the 3 temazapam that I had in my system from the night before were still kicked in. I only took 2 last night, which may make the difference between staying up to watch Battlestar Galactica or recording it.
Today, we're going to the Layout. We do this occassionally, to keep Trish's rides to work active, which just cleared yesterday.
Also, I'm happy with Tester replacing Burns. I'm glad President Gas won't be getting his every proposal rubber-stamped by Congress. The 08 election will also be interesting. Meet the new boss (George W. Bush): same as the old boss (Hitler).
