Hail Princess Ticky-Box! Long Live Princess Ticky-Box! You adorable person, you.

Babies laughing = best. noise. EVAH.

Unless they are screeching like Godzilla.

No seriously. The screeching raptor-noises are FUCKING HILARIOUS, and also PAINFULLY, LETHALLY CUTE.

My current local faves are both located within a block of each other in Davis Square: Diva and right down the street, a young upstart, Namaskar. I'm also quite partial to Tanjore, in Harvard Square.

Check. Never been to the Davis ones. Have you ever been to India Quality, though. Nummy, nummy, and they have the most interesting beer selection (Old Peculiar at an Indian joint?). And according to my friends who don't do beer, they have a couple of decent wines as well. Also, dirt cheap and marvelous service. Go in two or three times, and they'll know you and treat you like family. Love it, love it, LOVE IT!

Also, sooper sekrit message for msbelle: I got a fever...and the only prescription...is more cowbell.

Also also, BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

And a thank yee to Teppy for the .wmv advice. Wheeeeeeee!

All the job-ma I can spare, blondie.

"man-root" is...fancy?

My problem with man-root is I always think of the way roots look right when you pull them from the ground. So I'm picturing something kinda muddy, with little tendrils all over it.

I watched this history of English series that had a bit on penis euphemisms of Jane Austen's era. I don't remember all of them, but "pleasure-pivot" and "His Majesty in purple cap" stand out.

Babies laughing = best. noise. EVAH.

Wrod.

Annabel had her 1-year checkup today. She continues to thrive, and her doctor was impressed with her mellow personality and mad walking skillz.

In less pleasant news, we've just discovered that our landlord hasn't been paying the electric bills for awhile. A longish while. However long it takes to run up a $1300 balance. We're calling City Light tomorrow, then the landlord. If the landlord doesn't pay, we'll just send our rent money to City Light until it's taken care of. And I know it's not that he thinks we're supposed to be paying, because we've been here over 5 years, and it's not like he hasn't been paying the whole time. Sheesh. Stupid landlord.

Wasn't this already a problem with this guy, Susan? WTF? Can you get his ass, I don't know, fired, or hauled up in front of somebody for being a jive-ass sucka or something?

A couple of months back I took a call from City Light where I told them we were renters, our landlord was responsible for the bill, and gave them the mailing address I had for him. That was the last I heard about it until today, so I assumed it'd been taken care of.

It's a hassle. We have a great place at an amazingly low rent, because he's a busy guy living over on the east side and is happy just to have tenants who pay on time and don't cause trouble. OTOH, his laziness and irresponsibility create problems for us. I really wish we could just get him to sell us this place with some kind of discount from having paid almost 6 years of rent to him, but that's probably a pipe dream.

ION, I think Annabel has learned to recognize Sean Bean from my Sharpe desktop photo on the laptop. I was just checking my LJ friendslist, and there was a totally different photo, still Sharpe but a very different pose, in the bean_daily community. I hear a little voice over my shoulder say "Igyop!", which, granted, doesn't sound like anything in particular. She's not so much with the speaking of actual English yet. I looked, and she was pointing at the picture with this bright-eyed knowing look. I scrolled away and came back, at which point she pointed and said "Igyop!" again.

I'm either giving my daughter great taste young or completely warping her innocent mind.

And a thank yee to Teppy for the .wmv advice. Wheeeeeeee!

Glad I could help, my Mac-using compatriot!
