I need extension cords and a strong boy.
Don't we all.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

With the right extension cords, you can TRAP the strong boy.

Was there a new EW this week, or was last week's summer movie preview a double issue? (Still trying to figure out how much of my mail is missing, grrrrrr.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a double issue (the cover says april 29th and may 6th). Of course, I just got mine this week, but at least my missing mag worries are laid to rest.

Thanks, ita. Good to know. I reported the missing issue to EW, and they've extended my subscription a week. And I now have a list of things I'm expecting through USPS within the next ten days or so--an Amazon package that should've been here yesterday, contest entries that it looks like were just mailed out, and several people on a list I'm on who are mailing me things in exchange for writing critiques and/or free blackberry jam. If any of it doesn't turn up, I'll make a stink about it. If NONE of it shows up, I think I'll camp out at my post office and cry.

Hmm. I missed two issues in March. I may have to call EW.
But for me, I always get my mags the near the end of the week, so it's a bit of an annoying subscription.

Ah, the things one could build with those ingredients. I've always figured heavy lifting is what teenaged boys are for, as their brains seem to all be in a storage locker somewhere.

Are Pringles smaller than they used to be?
I'm menstrual and indulging and I know things in general seemed bigger when I was a kid (and therefor smaller and younger than I am now), but the shape seems somehow pointy and there is so much room between the chips and the edges of the canister.
And while ranch Pringles are tasty and ranchy tasting, they shouldn't have a reddish cast to them, darn it. Have these people never seen a botle of Hidden Valley?

I have bought more books. It's a good thing Malice is so close to my birthday, so I can use my birthday money to pay for the stuff I buy there.

OK, I'm feeling slightly less postal toward the postal service, since my Amazon order arrived today. So for now I'm assuming they just screwed up one day's worth of mail last week.
