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!

Possibly both. And YAY Annabel for pattern recognition.

Although she apperently still needs to learn the difference between Sean Bean and Iggy Pop.

Wait! There was Mac-based .wmv advice and I missed it? please forgive the skimming

Where? Wha? Can I have it?

Beej, it was just a How Do I Play .wmv Files On My Mac??? question, and the easiest answer I know of is to just download Windows Media Player for Mac. Easy-peasy.

If you already knew that and had been hoping for a neato cool-o trick, I'm sorry to disappoint, BUT! I can juggle, which is almost as cool of a trick!

And YAY Annabel for pattern recognition.

I've long since thought she's good at the pattern recognition--e.g. after we spent Christmas in a house with cats, for awhile there she'd point excitedly at photos of cats in her books, even though they had completely different coloring and markings, not to mention being all two-dimensional. I'm not absolutely sure she was recognizing the SB photo as being the same guy in the different pose on the other computer--she gets happy about images in general--but I kinda think she does, and that my daughter is pretty, er, sharp.
