Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I can report that an almost two year old cannot tell the difference between a Frappuccino and ice cream

Well, yeah. A frappucino is basically a coffee shake. Your little girl's no dummy.

But her parents can tell the difference after she's ingested the former, I'd guess. My nephew got into his dad's pepsi the other weekend. My SIL was ready to kill both of them. (My brother for being such a flake and leave un-D friendly stuff lying around and D for bouncing off the walls and being one wired toddler. The kid is scary enough without sugar and caffeine.)

This weekend I watched the new SG-1, Atlantis, and read HP6. I did not watch BSG because I'm resisting new shows like whoa, and until Dana traps me in her house and shows me the DVDs, it ain't happening.

But I'm kind of cranky and discussed-out already on all of them, because fandom is large with the wank. Or possibly I just need more coffee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm coming down with a cold. I've lost my appetite, congested, sore throat, sensitive ears, and most startlingly, am having a bit of a job keeping down my breakfast. Which was tea and vitamins.

AND I go to Montreal on Wednesday.

Not happy.

I guess I should take a sick day -- no, better to work from home I guess, but I hate phrasing these things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor sick ita. I often find vitamins nauseating, myself.

I am glad to be in air conditioning, but the fact that it's at work is slightly less exciting. Why can't I be in the movies instead?? And I have a zillion faxes to send, each of which needs a cover sheet. Stoopid work!!!

Oh, also? WTF with the crazy hurricanes all in a row?

If every day had chapter headings, this would be today's.

I had the best summery wekeend though. I basically went to the pool, read books, ate ice cream, slept.

Nap. Nap a lot, ita.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I managed to get big blisters on my big toes yesterday. Walking now sucks. I found myself wishing I had taken a bus for the three block distance to the train station.

ita, take lots of vitimin C. Ignore all the talk about it not doing any good, as you ruin the placebo effect that way. Anyway, I hope you feel better by Wednesday.

That does sound good. I went to the beach on Saturday! Which rocked, although I would have stayed much longer than the rest of the family. Now THAT's summer.
