BAT CAVE 4: DAT BAT CABAL
by Sapphire-eHarlequin on March 21st, 2008, 8:52pm
The Bat Dame thinks there's a need in the community to have a place, besides SubCare, where writers can go to moan and whine in the darkness. A glum place. A place to feel subdued, humbled-by-the-process, hopeless (not that SHE feels this way).
So lower yourselves to the deepest, ugliest pits. Only then can you be uplifted to superhero status (aka published). For darkness can't exist without light, hunger without satiation, sadness without joy, despair without hope.
Here is the place for the equal and opposite reaction.
To new bats, we understand the cave is a confuzzling place. Bats speak a
furrin language, say and do the opposite of what they mean - they
unwelcome new folk, unhug each other )))like this((( and sound as if
they are completely crazy. Witch they are.
Howsomever, it's a good kind of crazy. The kind that supports and helps
other bats through the bad times, and razzes them through the good
times. Bleeds and prays for hurting bats, cries with sad bats, and
suitably chastises happy bats. Got all that?
Posting smilies, cleaning the cave and letting in sun is against the
spirit and purpose of the cave. We need dark. We need gloom. We can't
get it anywhere else. Nor can we beech and moan anywhere else. This is
our cave-from-home.
So make yourself at cave here, beech and moan about your writing and
your life with the rest of us, and before you know it, you'll wonder how
you got along without bats. Or we got along without you.
All unclear now? Ungood. Fwap in and pull up a stalactite.
Visit the old batcave here.

I have the 10th post in the new cave.
Didn't fall off my chair laffing at the new cave name. I think Satire is a cheeky bat. Heh.
Packages up two muses and mails 'em to sPam and Aimless in an unusual batmanitarian gesture.
Did the grossery fwapping. Hung out the ten tonnes of washing. It better get dry out there. Worked more on the rioting and so far today I've only eaten healthy food. My lower back/kidney area has been aching like a byotch since about five a.m. I'm drinking lots of water and it's not feeling any better. Anybatty wanna long distance diagnose that?

we's home
Well, I's nice enuff to batling-sit HotWheels and his siblings, but I didn't really hexpect to be nice until 2am. I figgered they'd be home 'bout midnight or so. Oh well, they do a lot for me, this is the least I can do for them, and we got to watch Bee Movie and Beowulf on their huge TV, which is roughly the size of my car, with the home theatre surround sound system. The Aimspawn jest hated that, I can tell you.
And now, the couch is calling me, telling me consciousness is highly overrated. I agree.

Nighty night
It's raining. Fortunately I got the washing in before that happened. My lower back ached non stop all day. I chose not to take the two Vitamin B2 tablets with dinner because I've only been on them four days and wondered if that was causing the problem, and I sat on the sofa after dinner for two hours. One choice or the other fixed it and the pain has gone away. Shrugs. No idea which.
In other news I read another bat book. Mwahahahaha. This one by some Amelia Elias chick. I want a Gareth of my very own. Can that be arranged?

Don't Get the Joke
Guanna, I don't get the joke about the cave name unless it's in reference to the 'cabal' part. That word makes me think of a group of people hunkered down in some cave plotting to take over the world.
Oh wait, isn't that what we're trying to do?

We watched Pierats of the Caribbean tonight. Haven't seen the other two movies, just this one, and I enjoyed it more the second time than I did the first. And that's not cavespeak because I'm too tired for cavespeak.

I'm not one to leave things
I'm not one to leave things undiscovered, so the meaning of cabal is: "the artifices and intrigues of a group of persons secretly united in a plot (as to overturn a government); also : a group engaged in such artifices and intrigues"
So you see, it's not just a goof on the Gal Pals. It's also in reference to Bat World Domination. Put the two together and you have Dat Bat Cabal.
Too subtle?

I hates the gnu cave name, I does.
In udder gnus, I went to bed last night when we got home from dinnah, and didn't git up until 9 this moaning.
After dinner last night, we went to the Sports Authority to get TM some... giraffe protection... for playing baseball. (The boyos call the giraffe their...er... "Jiggly Wiggly." *Ahem. ) The Sport's Authority was all out of Jiggly Wiggly protection, so I suggested, evilly, of course, that we go to another sports store. This one is called---I'm not making this up---"Dick's." I stayed in the car, but Mr. L said that TM laughed the entire time they were in the store and wouldn't even HOLD the Jiggly Wiggly protector as they took it to check out.
Yep. Something... poetic... 'bout buying Jiggly Wiggly protection at a store called "Dick's."

The most exciting thing that's happened today? I found the $.99 blue kerchief I boughted for Simi and put it on her. She don't look a bit cute with the paws-and-bones pattern and you can't prove she does. And that's been the highlight of the day.
Although it might get eclipsed soon. I'm guano take my huge handful of vitamins and drink a soda. Not sure my heart can stand the hexcitement.

Had to get up at 7 am and
Had to get up at 7 am and go to a stoopid breakfart and egg hunt at church. Don't know who decided this, it's just wrong. Last week they announced breakfart at 8:30 and hunt at 9:30. I wanted to skip breakfart and get there for the hunt. Bad thing I didn't cause they let the critters hunt the eggs before breakfart. We were fwapping home by 9:30. Breakfart, btb, consisted of pancakes with surup. No butter, no eggs, no sausage, no juice. I'm not guano fwap there next year. Or, maybe we can sneek into the udder church that does there's as a dinner and egg hunt at night. I is a bat. Wouldn't have prefered that muchly and probably wouldn't have gotten anything that contained protein either.
Went fur a walk this morn, but had to end it sooner than planned. Stoopid back is out. It's Mr. T's fault. Yep, I'm guano blame it on him.
Didn't see Jump last night and didn't enjoy it.
My boss got the notice back from the school she wanted her critters to go to in Sept. It's one of those hard to get into preschools that people like Bill Gates sends their kids to. The 4 y/o didn't make the cut, but the 2 y/o's did. Huh, couldn't figure that out since the 4 y/o isn't one of the smartest kids his age I've seen. I have no clue if I'll have a job in Sept. She might just put them all into a different not as prestegious school.
That is all.

Meanwhile, last night, my left knee stopped functioning for no reason whatsoever. Both knees have a lot of arthritis, so they never function all that well. But this is on top of that. And the left is usually my good knee. This I did not need.
Have to run (limp?) some errands and donwanna. Wanna just rest my knee instead. But that's not an option.
I do plan to write another article for my column so I can get some more money and I want to fiinish writing the children's song I started yesterday. Neither of those activities will hurt my knee.

Fwappy Easter
I just realised I'm in a very whiny mood this morning for somebatty who should be remembering to be grateful. Oops. And since I'm still having a choich crisis I won't be going to a service either but at least I did remember about the grateful part.
Stoopid back is out. It's Mr. T's fault.
Why didn't anybatty else laff at this and blame Shameless? Well I am and I do, so there.
We're supposed to be going to a movie at lunch time and I'm supposed to do lots of rioting and the ironing in between times.
Oh, and I despise happy people who have parties in the street and keep me awake until after midnight when I had a chance of actually getting to sleep for a change. And I have the sneezes and that's annoying me. <-------- Told you I was feeling whiny.
Crossing claws that disGrace doesn't have cough syrup issues.
The cat has regained some appetite now that we're feeding him beef mince and tuna packed in oil. Pleased to see the little shirt eating something, anyway.
And since Aimless is exercising her batvidual choice to have another pooper, it's a cute one and I hope you enjoy having it.

According to the fartickle that came with that pic, the bunny's favorite food is lettuce. And he's a breed called a German Giant. That one in the pic weighs 22 pounds and stands almost three feet tall.
A few more feet taller and they would have to call him Harvey.

Unhappy Easter. Don't eat chocolate. don't eat and hunt eggs.
don't get new clothes, don't go to choich. don't take after meal naps.
FLEaster...
I was remarkably restrained 'bout Easter this year. Each batling will get a small stuffed basket. I have a bunch of candy-filled plastic Easter eggs ready to hide. We colored the hardboiled eggs... That's it.
For Easter dinnah: ham, strawburieds, sweet taters, blueburied muffins, some udder veggie (read: whatever I can find in the freezer), boxed taters (in case my sweet taters that have been in the veggie crisper for umm.... 4 weeks now, have turned into petri dishes)...
I'm tarred.
Not happy that Guanna survived her outings. Not hoping that DisGracie isn't re-enacting the Cough Syrup Event...
Not wishing the Luridlings would just go to bed.

I haven't taken any cough syrup
And I got the next best thing to a tubal in October. So unless I'm the .001% failure rate...
Plus, Dizzy's been throwing 3 tantrums at an hour each every day for a week, at least one of them occurring during the night. DD is being a pita preteen. And I just asked her to give Dizzy a bath and somehow when they got undressed, Dizzy ended up with a poop mess all over herself and the bathroom. While I was cleaning her and the bathroom up, the big kids took a water doll into the other bathroom and started playing with her. I noticed this on one of my poo disposal trips andt told them to knock it off. Then while I was still trying to scrape poo off Dizzy, one of them came up behind me with the water baby and got me wet.
I'm steaming. And screaming. There is no way in hell there's another kid coming to this house. NO. WAY.

Not glad Guanna's knees held out. My thumbs is painin me riot now. Must be the weather change. It's been sunny today. My thumbs seem to lurve the change.
Aimless that was the oooooogliest of poopies. Don't wish I had one. I'm getting tired of calling the cat and her ignoring me. If only poopies didn't poop.
I've been buying Easter egg stuff for a while, so don't have plenty of that. But, Mr. T asked me today what we were having for Easter dinner...I do a terrible blank stare. Anyhoo, I had to brave the super Safeway. I didn't end up parking in the boonies and didn't get help with the bags from a girler who wasn't thrilled to help me and take a walk in the sun.
Got to work and found out all three critters will be going to school in Sept. Oh joy. Wonder where I'm guano work then.
