I figured that right after I posted it...

But I was too lazy / preoccupied note  to go back and edit it.

It is after midnight DST and it's my birthday. I had a surprise party earlier when I came back from Menard's. Husband and dogs in hats and Mardi Gras necklaces. Sheldon liked his hat. Scout did not.

We had an exceptional batch of rib tips for dinner and it must be spring somewhere because there was cheap asparagus at the grocery. My current favorite food is oil roasted beets pulled from the backyard.

Later today I shall go to the Asian grocery and find more lychee flavored things. I heart lychee.

This reads more like a Kitchen thread post, but it's my birthday and I'll post what I want to.

I know that my birthday is September 23 and the evidence is pretty convincing that Drunkie's is the 22nd.

I should have been born in September, but I was impatient and ended up being born August 31.

If I'd been born less than nine hours later, I would have been a September baby. I think I was early by a week or two.

Happy Drunkmas/Catmas

The wife has been looking at new places to live. It is looking rather promising this year. Multiple OK sites that are 100 dollars or less then our total rent now for the same space or more and better yet are not in Omaha.

@Drunkie: Happy Septembermas! I saw a video that inspired me to mix wasabi in my sake. The results were underwhelming. More sake and more wasabi!

Happy Drunkcatskiesmas, then. Hell, this is Cobbies, any excuse will do for a celebration!

Good luck with the home-hunting, Teuf. I'll cross everything crossable for you.

Thanks, I think?

Exam 1 is this week, which means I'm going to have lots of "fun" grading exams later this week. The calm before the storm has begun.

Let's just drink all through September. Nothing but birthdays to look forward to in September (and none of those in my family).

They rejiggered the horoscopes a couple years ago. I'm not sure if I haven't heard about that anymore because they gave up on beating inertia or just because it only affects people born after like 2005 or something, so nobody affected is old enough to buy horoscope 2.0.

Huh. Did not know that.

Not sure how much it matters, though.

It's fun when you start adding eastern horoscopes in also.

Since I'm a Rooster with sub-element of metal, I am now a virgin with a metal cock.

Sub-elements? I haven't heard of this.

I'm a Dragon.

The 5 elements (earth, metal, wood, fire, and water) also cycle on a yearly basis. So not only do you have an animal, you have an element as well. You could be a Fire Rabbit, say, or a Wood Dragon, or a Metal Rooster (hence "a steel cock"tongue). It takes 60 years to complete the progression through the whole set of permutations.

Here's more information.

Since I'm a Pisces and a (metal) horse, I'm a seahorse made of iron.

ok. Boyo and D Scrib Comp pics:

I know normally we would post photos in the photo thread but since it was relevant.

DS: (sorry, I fb stalked you to get this, hope you don't mind) [2]

On Horoscopes: They created a new horoscope creature because the stretch across November-January was a little long. The new Horoscope creature is the Ophiucus ( the image of a man wrestling a snake), and here is what I found:

"Astronomer Parke Kunkle says that due to changes in the Earth's alignment the dates of many zodiac signs have changed, according to NBC. In addition, there may be a 13th Zodiac sign: Ophiuchus.

Kunkle says that as the Earth and Sun slowly move the signs gradually change, as expected.

The change didn't happen overnight either. The 12 signs were designated to different periods of the year almost 3,000 years ago, when astrology began, and since then the Earth's position in relation to the sun has changed."

Anyway. My bff#2 is here, so I am very happy. And full of wine. Goodnight dear cobbies.
