Help Me Win a Space Alien!
When Lady Linoleum put out the challenge to win a crocheted space alien, I just knew I had to win one of them! So help me do it by casting your vote for my clever little space ship entry! Yes, this is a shameless plea! I think you have until Sunday to cast your vote if you haven't done so already. I'd be so very happy with Shrone glee if I won a space alien. I have two names already picked out: Grubnuck and Zorgon. I can't decide which will be used.
Science geeks may recognize the design of the craft as being modeled directly from a T4 virus bacteriophage. Pooky assisted with the wood construction of the head and skin while I crafted the rest from pipe cleaners, cardboard tubing from a paper towel roll and a very handy glue gun. I didn't get the best pictures of the ship considering every time I bring it out there are three curious cats wanting to sniff it and then chew on it.
Carnivorous Plant
Speaking of Lady Linoleum, I recently received one of her stellar creations: a Venus fly trap complete with signature eyeball! The plant hasn't yet instructed to "Feed me!" and I am waiting for it to spring to life and clamp down hard on my hand.
My over-active imagination is pretty sure that this plant has psychic powers and can read my mind. I'd expect nothing less of Lady Linoleum's magical creations. Now, if it could give Tarot readings for proft I'd be on to something!
Promotion
Pooky confirmed that the promotion he expected to get was made official. He went for the piss test and everything else. He is leaving the flooring department and is now a Department Head of the Pro Desk. A slight pay raise and weekends off since the Pro Desk is a Monday thru Friday affair. He may be required to be readily available at all times since he is now the bottom level of management.And the good news is that his pay raise is already spent! Thankfully, the mortgage company raised our interest rate (NOT!) I think he said he'll be able to schedule his own work hours. Perhaps we'll have a designated time for dinner each evening? How cool is that?!?!?
