Studs, lilies, violets and boys.

venetia_sassyA couple of weeks ago, our clothes dryer stopped working. We called a technician to come take a look but we had to take the dryer off the wall first . Brother came over to do this, discovered that the dryer was pulling out of the wall anyway (whoops) and said that he would bring some ... coach screws? (I have no idea) when he came back to put it up again.
(Tech came and apparently whatever was wrong with the dryer was fixed by the jolt of getting it off the wall. $175 later. Damn dryer.)
Anyway, brother finally came back today and we were going to have a dryer in the laundry instead of the dining room! Except that after a number of tries, brother couldn't find the wall stud and is going to come back later with his stud-finder.
... really, all of this was just to say that you know you've been reading too much fic when hearing the words 'stud finder' makes you want to giggle and imagine the bad jokes of bandom boys.*facepalm*

Yeah, that neon orange mullet I saw? The I'm-not-sure-that-color-exists-in-nature orange? Well, Mum brought home some lilies today and they are nearly that colour.
I am concerned.
Yes, they are very pretty but I am looking at them suspiciously and wondering if they are radioactive mutant lilies which will EAT US ALIVE.

Violets are less worrying (so far.)
When we got back from the nursery the other day, I saw there were some violets blooming near the carport. I tried to crouch down to sniff them but my jeans made that a little tricky. I was going to go back out once I'd changed my clothes but I forgot. However, on Sunday morning I woke up to find a little vase of violets on the dining room table. I've been sniffing them whenever I walk past.

Have you seen the pictures of Frank on a bike? Mikey doing the walk of shame? Have you seen the new Mikey/Ray comm?
