I can confirm with my own ears that pea does indeed receive phone calls from solicitous robots. I did lol at her though because the one I heard was from the NRA.

It's because Mr. Pea is the only person who can save the human and/or robot race in the Great Catastrophe that follows the Singularity Revolution, so robots and/or humans are sending their consciousnesses back along the Time Pulse to try to bring warning/advice/good chili recipes. Unfortunately the only vessels in our time capable of receiving their transmitted consciousnesses are these robo-caller programs. But they keep trying, desperately hoping the message will get through.

Oh, I think I found the premise for my NaNoWriMo attempt this year...

Crap! So that inspired me to actually check if Bing maps had my address right, unlike Google. It is the first time I have used Bing for anything, ever. And damned if they don't, which means I have to stop completely hating on them.

:shakenancy:

And this is even after I pointed out to Google that their photograph of my house clearly shows the address they claim isn't there.

Lack of sleep tends to make me miss interpret what I see. Often, it's reading words incorrectly such as magazine covers or ads. My favorite so far today is 'kiss the moist germs.'

Guys. I pray that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. You already know that I spent most of a week to attend my sister's wedding. And you have photographic evidence that my dog nieces are real. But what I didn't share with you was the pig I saw while I was away.

:gasp:

As pigs go, he's no Esther, but he's still kinda adorable in his own way. Here's Jynxie:




The story goes: He's just the residential pet pig at the house where some fambly stayed. That's all I know. I petted him briefly. He's got a tough hide and those hairs are super bristly. He pig-grunted at me which was p cool.
