Five Things, one of them Otto.

[mrissa]

1. I called Otto today. I came prepared: I know that my name is spelled with two letters that are pronounced "esh as in Shamuel." I got Otto himself this time, and when I got to spelling my address, I said "O as in--" and Otto interrupted me: "O as in MEEEEEEE!" Oh, The Day I Call Otto's is one of my favorite late fall holidays.

Also we are to visit Otto next time we are in Los Angeles. He will fix us up with many fine things without having to spell, and there will not be snow. No snow at all! Not like Minnesota! At least that's what I'm told. And ten pounds of csabai sausage are winging their way towards us, since there were merely one hundred fifty orders ahead of mine this time. Again. (Two years ago there were one hundred seventy, so this is progress.)

2. I have a Facebook account. I am not spending a great deal of time on it, so while some of your charitable causes are surely just and some of your friendly gestures are surely friendly, I will probably not be hanging out any banners or planting any virtual gardens over there. That sounds suspiciously like a project. But I will probably friend you or list you as a contact or whatever if you want, as long as I'm clear on how we know each other or who we know in common.

3. Am trying not to obsess about tomorrow's clinic PT. You see how successful this is.

4. Ista thinks that it was extremely considerate of porphyrin and co. to bring home her new bestestest friend EVAR, Morgan. We weren't sure how she would react to having another dog in her house with her monkeys. I suppose we can't swear that it'd be universally okay, but this other dog was a huge hit. (Morgan really is a very fine girl.)

5. Note to Heroes writers: film badges are not the same as Geiger counters. They do not change back when things have gone back to okay levels of radiation. This is useful. Measuring cumulative levels of radiation matters. Yarrrrg. Honestly.

Hooray for Otto season!

Otto sounds exactly like my uncle Jenő.

Yay for Otto, and for Ista's new friend!

=v= You can use Facebook as a feed for LJ. Then you can feed it to Twitter. And read that from MySpace. After that, ToadHead. Life just gets better and better!

Golly, that is...something.

The day you call Otto is one of my favourite late fall holidays, and I've actually been looking forward to it this year rather than being surprised by it.

It's still late fall, but none of the temperatures on the next five days weather chart are above freezing, and it was glove-cold when I was waiting for the bus yesterday.

That means you live somewhere good: that none of the temperatures being above freezing still doesn't mean it's winter yet.

Oh, those cheerful George Martin characters. Winter is coming!!!

I'm with you on Facebook. I read it for the status updates and little else.

I've never even spoken to the man, and I love Otto!

Oh, well now I just can't wait to watch last night's Heroes...

Sign.

Heh. Oh, don't worry: this was Heroes Season 1, episode 8.

markgritter and I are watching this together, so there's someone else to look at on the NOOOOOOOOO moments in the voiceovers. Which seem to come with every episode, like a particularly crappy Happy Meal toy.

[joeboo-k.livejournal.com]

Oh! :) Shoot...you're still in the good parts!

I'm Nancy Kreml on Facebook, and would be happy to see you there.

I"m on it for the Scrabble and the other word games--orginally joined to get pix from my nephew in China but he's back now, so find it mainly useless.

The Day I Call Otto's is one of my favorite late fall holidays.

It's one of ours too. Especially when it gets read to me in mmerriam's Otto Voce.
