EDIT:  Oh, and by the way?  Today is supposed to be the hottest day of the summer.  If I leave my cats in that apartment, it's tantamount to animal abuse.

Remember this? No, this isn't a "looking back over the past year" post.



This is a goddamnedmotherfuckingpissed post.



This is a "You'll be lucky if I give you a week you fucking arselord" post.



This is a "I'm going to kill someone with my bare hands" post.









This is a "My fucking used air conditioning unit added to my heat pump last year died yesterday." post.



I can't find one icon that says it for me. So I am using six.


Well at least I have my Siamese cat now.

Icons, taken from my favorite Dilbert strip. 






If you take, remember to credit Scott Adams, not me.   I no makey!

Inspired by the New York Times article about Sesame Street.





 

I don't usually participate in this one because my icons are SO blatant.  But anita_margaritafound some to ask about, so here we go.  

Fire:  I decided to change my layout to a fall theme and these Chihuly pics were perfect with the color scheme.  So I added them to use for fall, will likely delete a couple when winter comes around.  I call this one fire cause that's what it looks like.   Like I said - blatant.
Sunball:  Again, Chihuly for fall.  The word "Sunball" is funny to me because Kentuckians use the word instead of "the sun".  I've actually read the word in poetry written by a Kentucky man, and it's just such a  hillbilly thing.
Mollybird:  I LOVE parrots.  Have raised a couple, one of which was named Molly.  She looked exactly like this bird. And of course her eyes dilated like this when she was intensely studying something.  Parrots are marvelous creatures. It's said that men in Roman times were given a parrot to train to prove they were capable of commanding men.
Brain Candy:  Again, obvious I think.  But isn't it PRETTY??   Books are magic for me.  I can lose myself in one for hours or days and the best ones ARE brain candy. Delicious, relaxing, pleasant to the mind. And even if they don't last long, they leave a delightful mind taste.
Cherheart: This one just cracks me UP!  Cher as the Madonna.  It's brilliant,  because she looks so perfect in the character, and also because she's so  FAR from virginal.  But she IS passionate and a loving person. I use her when  I'm feeling amused and fond of someone.
MmmCheese!:  Mmmm cheese!  One of my favorite foods.
Blue Persian:  The name of the glass sculpture, again Chihuly.  Yes, I'm  obsessed.  Don't care.  I want to TOUCH this stuff!  Someday, brother. Someday.

And if you comment here, I'll ask you about seven of yours too!

YAY!

I am no icon maker. Never have been. I just use the LJ icon maker to get pictures the right size.  But as I said, i couldn't sleep this morning, and after counseling Ms. Ruthie (LOL) I started chopping up my Chihuly pics in Paint.  I'm not interested in credit, I don't care if you use them as a base or whatever, it's no biggie. It's not my art. It's his. Some of these were just too beautiful to crop any further, and I didn't like how Paint cropped them when I took them down to 100x100. So you're on your own there. JUST PLEASE DON'T HOTLINK.  Here's what I came up with:
