This is as not-oblique as I get right now.

Hey, anybody see any funny-shaped clouds?

Sleipnir:

(This is me assuming you would rather look at Sleipnir than be pestered).

No, but I saw a nice picture of a Labrador retriever nursing three abandoned tiger cubs. And that has nothing to do with much, but I thought it might appeal to you.

That one looks kind of like a bunny.

Dude, you win at the cloud question.

Methinks that one is backed like a whale . . . .

i'm thinking about you.

i don't suppose marilyn manson would be helpful. i have that and dave matthews' "crush" stuck in my head.

i'm almost done untangling this huge ball of yarn. have a cute puppy icon. puffs' heads are so comforting.

the next time i go out, i'm wearing "twelve things ..."

It's not Sleipnir, but it's very dramatic. Like the curtains about to be pulled back to reveal a storm, but since it's the Bay Area, the storm part never happens.

They're even funny-looking at night (http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap080416.html). (here via friends-of-friends list. Hope you feel better soon)

I have been known to cope with both.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Indeed. What color Lab?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

That is indeed funny-looking!

I offer sad sympathies on your lack of storms.

By the Mass, it is like a camel.

Or a pair of scissors about to stab the next cloud. Your call.

Hungry swordfish?

One night in high school, I was driving home from dropping scottjames off*. I used to love to drive short distances on cool evenings with the windows open and the radio on low. That night, Marilyn Manson started hiss-croaking, "Some of them want to use you..." at me.

After that, I have liked driving short distances on cool evenings with the windows open and blessed, blessed silence.

Y'know. When I can drive again.

*scottjames will probably label this story apocryphal on the grounds that he always, always had to drive. But he is wrong: that time I did.

I have often wondered if Sleipnir had a Tölt or just the normal gaits.

We had clouds all over for the past 2 days, so they were all sort of mushed together. They're mushing together again and looking like they're going to roll in... ah well.

But the Blue Angels are flying around this morning, practicing for Seafair this weekend. So that's kinda cool...

Recently I bought four cases of my favorite powerbar-thing through Amazon.com and I'm very very excited about it. Unfortunately, I now know you that I can also buy cases of chewy Spree, my latest favorite candy which local stores don't sell.

CASES.

"Take my camel, dear," said my aunt Dot, as she climbed down from this animal on her return from High Mass.

The only cloud pictures I have are ominous, but there are happy little girly-girl pictures available (http://gallery.greenfld.net/v?g2_itemId=12983&g2_page=3).

John Scalzi likes to post sunset pictures on his flickr account, e.g. this one (http://www.flickr.com/photos/scalzi/2717798131/sizes/m/).

A golden retriever. They're at a zoo in Kansas.

Local stores don't sell you Spree? Do gas stations? Because, I mean. Spree. I can't tell you the last time I bought or consumed Spree, but it's one of those things that Must Be Present To Be Bought, even if one isn't going to buy it.
