Best WotD EVER!

Shenanigan

i LOVE this word! My problem with this word is that because I like using it so much, it tends to lose meaning. I just want everything I do to be classified as shenanigans, or at the very least monkeyshines (and once in a while as hooliganism). I have even adopted the phrase from the marauder's map, "Mischief Managed", as a generic way to say 'I'm done with whatever it is i've been doing', which is typically finishing a miniprep or transfection or cloning step at work -- stuff that probably gets classified as mischief only when the definitions are loose to the point of falling off, or at least instigating wardrobe malfunctions.

BUT ... because it is the word of the day and i love it and strict definitions are for nincompoops, here are some of my shenanigans from the last couple days:

I installed drywall in the room/closet under the stairs. Now we (probably mainly Audrey, since she'll likely do it all during the week to get it overwith) can mud and tape and sand and paint, and we'll be ready for Harry Potter to move in! It is actually to be used for storage of legos, D&D materials, and various other bits and bobs.

I cleaned up the garage after cutting drywall all over it

I replaced/hid the tupperware containers I was using as makeshift sawhorses for cutting drywall after noting i had made a couple incisions into their lids.

I signed up for an account on obsidian portal, which is a wiki site designed for keeping track of game-world settings. I don't know if i'm ambitious enough to transfer everything from my current wiki there, or if i'll just use it to log interesting new ideas I come up with. I'm leaning toward the latter.

Mary got two more fancy staplers for the lab, and i abducted the green one for my desk.

I completed my blog post while waiting for my maxiprep gravity columns to drip! Mischief managed!
