evile: TGIF! :) Went to the library at lunchtime. Not too bad outside.
skye_dsDS: beautiful days lately
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: too pretty to be stuck inside *sigh*
evile: I hear ya....
evile: [Cousin B] & I were gonna camp at Enchanted rock this weekend, but he
decided it was going to be too cold at night. wuss.
skye_dsDS: I'm thinking bout taking the boys to dinner and to see HP
skye_dsDS: we haven't seen Zorro yet tho
evile: Chronicle gave zorro 2 a bad review
skye_dsDS: would rather see HP anyway
evile: Too much cutesey sproggy and not enough Cathy in her corset, I
think the final analysis was.
skye_dsDS: <wants to see CZJ in corset and black horse, and that's it
skye_dsDS: actually I enjoyed Anthony Hopkins in black as much as I did
Antonio Banderas
evile: *nod*
evile: another one of those 'creepy yet sexy' types :P
skye_dsDS: trying to think of names for a black horse that aren't trite
skye_dsDS: eg, no ebony, no black, and I'm not decided on raven yet
skye_dsDS: I'm partial at the moment to a pretty big list even so
evile: *nod*
evile: I name critters more on personality than looks.
skye_dsDS: in which case I shouldn't name him Azrael, as much as I like
the name :P
evile: *shrug* unless he's demonic and you like him that way.
skye_dsDS: thinking Saracen, Osiris and Lucifer would fit well with
Mirage and Jezebel
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: but some variation on MIdnight or Phantom would be ok, but
borderlining on trite
evile: when in doubt, translate into Latin or Greek :P
skye_dsDS: spent all afternoon yesterday translating Latin for Traci
skye_dsDS: she renamed her gelding from Pippin to Maximus
skye_dsDS: and wanted a full roman name for him
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: I like Raphael too, but I'm not sure as much as Azrael
evile: *nod*
evile: Are y'all still going to the SCA thing in Beaumont or wherever
this weekend?
skye_dsDS: nope
skye_dsDS: going to pick up a couple of new boarder horses
evile: aha. cool.
evile: I got next Wednesday off--a 2 day work week and a 5 day
weekend. That's the way it should be, dammit :)
skye_dsDS: damn straight!
evile: Of course, I haven't worked 5 days in a row this entire month..
skye_dsDS: wish I could say that (and get paid for it lol)
evile: *nod* one of the few pluses of state employment.
evile: I can't believe nobody I know is going to the GWNN party this
weekend. *sigh*
skye_dsDS: have to have a work weekend
skye_dsDS: needed one for months
evile: that or I've been so whiney, needy, and high maintenance
lately that nobody wants to hang with me.
skye_dsDS: I doubt that
evile: I don't have any better explanation for the lack of response I
get on my 'here's what I'd like to do, anybody want to do it with
me?' posts...
evile: Even when I used to do the same via email I never got people
to do stuff with me. I wonder what I'm doing wrong...
skye_dsDS: I would think that your friends are at least as busy as you
are
skye_dsDS: and a lot of people seem to be under a lot of stress lately
evile: too busy to even say 'sorry, busy'....nice.
evile: Oh well. Need to just get over it and do stuff by myself if
it's worth doing.
skye_dsDS: I hate my period
skye_dsDS: sighs
evile: I miss depo a lot some days.
skye_dsDS: fwiw what you're doing looks a hell of a lot more interesting
than what we have to do because we've put it off for months
evile: *nod* Getting new boarders will be cool, though. Kinda fun,
right?
skye_dsDS: hope so
skye_dsDS: one of the two is a FriesXQH
skye_dsDS: I don't know WHY
skye_dsDS: but oh well
evile: *grinz* I'm sure the owners thought it would be a fine and
lovely thing.
skye_dsDS: well, it could be worse
skye_dsDS: like crossing F x Arab
skye_dsDS: F x Perch and F x Morgan actually make sense
skye_dsDS: and F x Morgans are gorgeous
evile: I bet.
skye_dsDS: I'm going to cross baby stallion w ith jesse just once to see
what happens
skye_dsDS: if he's a good stallion, I'm not going to cut him
skye_dsDS: then if Seasha's interested, she can cross her F cross with
him
skye_dsDS: and I might breed him out
evile: *nods*
skye_dsDS: chances of my ever having an approved stallion are slim to
none
skye_dsDS: so no reason not to cross breed
evile: and who knows what littel ideas he'll get in his own head
about who to crossbreed with ;P
skye_dsDS: it was so sad
skye_dsDS: Max dropped for Jesse
skye_dsDS: she ignored him
skye_dsDS: Mirage went into heat for Max
skye_dsDS: who ignored her
skye_dsDS: ROFL
evile: aw.
skye_dsDS: anyway, baby stallion baby does not get to have his own ideas
skye_dsDS: he's goign to be in piperail for that reason
evile: Oh, OK then.
evile: I don't know jack about horses, I just remember you having
troubles with a neighbor's stallion a while back & figured that's
just the way the things were.
skye_dsDS: yep
skye_dsDS: problem = neighbor's stud colt doesn't have piperail
skye_dsDS: so he keeps getting out
evile: aha. ok.
skye_dsDS: I told them, get piperail, get him cut, one or the other,
don't care which
skye_dsDS: and as it turns out it's all of a C note to get him cut
skye_dsDS: so I'm like WTF
evile: wow.
skye_dsDS: damn Wayne didnt' want to get his male dog cut either
skye_dsDS: I don't understand what practical reason he thinks he has
skye_dsDS: Shorty is called Shorty because his growth is stunted
skye_dsDS: he isn't the fugliest horse I've ever seen
skye_dsDS: but NOBODY is going ot want to breed him
skye_dsDS: and there are only two reasons for not cutting a horse
skye_dsDS: breeding and performance
skye_dsDS: Wayne isn't doing ANYTHING with that horse at all, much less
something that requires a stallion to win with
skye_dsDS: I just can't believe I put up with months of being cursed at
and told I'll get him cut when I've got the money
skye_dsDS: I could come up with $100 by eating ramen for a week if I had
to
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: shorty got out one morning at 2:30 am
skye_dsDS: ate a 50 pound bag of feed
skye_dsDS: more than 10 p ounds is enough to colic and die from but
anyway
skye_dsDS: so we catch him and call them
skye_dsDS: who expect us to bring t he horse back to them, and we said,
um no, you come get him
skye_dsDS: so over he comes and is pissed because we won't turn off the
fence and cut a hole in it so he doesn't have to walk the horse
around the long way
skye_dsDS: and then c urses at sineater
skye_dsDS: and t hen curses at me when I jump him for cursing sineater
evile: That poor animal...that sucks
skye_dsDS: so I went to have a word with his wife the next day
skye_dsDS: that horse gets into my feed again, or keeps breaking my
fences, and I'll s hoot him
evile: I'm constantly disheartened by the actions of selfish humans
who don't seem to care about their animals.
skye_dsDS: horses are expensive
evile: For once, forget about whatever wierd penis-thing you have and
do whats good for the ANIMAL.
skye_dsDS: even easy keepers like mine aren't as cheap as a hedgie or a
hamster
skye_dsDS: so wtf are people who are too broke to get one cut doing with
a fucking stud colt
skye_dsDS: where was that they're going to make people have licenses to
own and breed pit bulls
skye_dsDS: SF? LA?
evile: it's really unfortunate. Lots of people acquire enough animals
to get themselves into a state of being 'animal poor' it seems.
evile: I know htey're outlawing htem in Colorado
skye_dsDS: he got pissed when I told him I wouldn't allow wire fence on
my posts either
skye_dsDS: look, if I were willing to tolerate wire...I wouldn't have
sprung for tape, which is hella lot more expensive
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: anyway, that's why you keep stallions in piperail
skye_dsDS: my concern is, that baby stallion's half brother, at the age
of one.five years
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: is already jumping piperail
evile: not good
skye_dsDS: half brother at 1.5y is as tall as Jess and Mirage, and
considerably bigger
evile: uh..hello? freisian?
skye_dsDS: lol I know
skye_dsDS: typically horses don't jump on t heir own
skye_dsDS: even breeds that are bred to jump, or bred to drive, have to
be taught not to be scared of jumping, or dragging things around
behind them
skye_dsDS: it isn't like a QH born with "cow"
evile: OK.
skye_dsDS: but, they did what I intend to do, and it's working
skye_dsDS: which is to always keep one empty pasture between t he
piperail with the stallion in it
evile: makes sense.
skye_dsDS: want some purty pictures?
skye_dsDS: Andalusians being ridden haute ecole?
evile: of course :)
skye_dsDS: which email acct should I forward to
evile: eekatfreaksdotnet@yahoo.com
47,000 spams in freaks.net
skye_dsDS: ack
skye_dsDS: let me know if the pictures went
skye_dsDS: I'm not sure they forwarded
evile: OK
skye_dsDS: it says they did anyway
evile: looks like they did. 6 pictures?
skye_dsDS: tink so
evile: OK. got 'em.
skye_dsDS: the thought occurred to me
skye_dsDS: could name a Friesian Severus, and a gray Andalusian Lucius
skye_dsDS: /me ducks before you throw something heavy at me
evile: *shrug* none of my business what you name your animals
evile: Just don't name them anythin g you'd be ashamed to say in
front of the vet/farrier/etc

skye_dsDS: like a bird named sweet baby jesus?
evile: Friend of mine named her cat fartface and never was able to
admit that to the vets
skye_dsDS: ROFL
skye_dsDS: ROFL!!!
evile: so his 'legal' name at the vet was 'riff raff'
evile: kinda doesn't matter what you name cats, they don't answer
anyway.
skye_dsDS: feed a dog, dog thinks you're god
skye_dsDS: feed a cat, cat is validated in thinking he's god
evile: yup :)
evile: oop, looks like Sweetie's trading in both troopers on a Jeep
Liberty. I guess this means I gotta get my own car now. feh.
skye_dsDS: this time next year we're going ot be in the market for a
full ton (NOT a dually) diesel
skye_dsDS: want one of them new mega cabs
skye_dsDS: (bad grammar on purpose)
evile: OK. I notice you like putting on the corn pone for the new
Boston peeps on your FL. I find that amusing.
skye_dsDS: mood thing
evile: *nod*
skye_dsDS: all these new people adding me makes me a little nervous
though
skye_dsDS: now every time I want to say something just to hear myself
think, I wonder, what are these people who have never met me going to
think about this
evile: Nothing says you have to add them back.
evile: After the unfortunate back and forth with Kaleon, I have done
a lot more 'friends locked' posts. People see 1 post, assume they
know something more than they do, and come up with a bad conclusion.
not worth the drama.
skye_dsDS: pointy little heads ROFL
evile: If anybody wants to know, they can ask, I'm pretty transparent
that way, but don't assume.
evile: And that whole fake 'I care about you'...blah. no, if you
CARED, you would have ASKED before you ASSUMED anything!
skye_dsDS: about like he cared about sineater?
skye_dsDS: he treated sineater with nothing but disdain and contempt for 7
years
evile: he cares about stirring shit, IMHO. Good riddance.
skye_dsDS: had every intention of taking his place
skye_dsDS: friends?
skye_dsDS: right
evile: yeah. Oh well. Time for me to start my weekend.
skye_dsDS: wind to your wings :)
