Another favorite thing of my father's (that I can see could be annoying and/or offensive from a less-charming person) is, "I don't care what your mother says, you're not so bad...." when I do/say something good.

Ooh! I might have to try to find that. When was this game released?

Well, back when Animaniacs was still on the air. But it does still run on the newish iMac.

It's got a golf game with Dot, and the Burpinator 3000 where you have to go to lots of levels and destroy robots with burps. There's a racing game with obstacles and the anvil game which is really a variation on Breakout. But with lots of other Animaniacs fun! (Dot's golf song is pretty catchy.)

My mother is obessessed with people not knowing how old she is. She looks fantastic, so she could totally get away with claiming 35 or so (she's in her late 50s). She once asked my brother and I if we would mind if she told people that we were my dad's children by his first wife (which is, of course, her). My brother and I looked at each other and told her that she could tell people whatever she wanted, but don't look to us to back up the fantasy :)

It's not meanspirited at all. He's a big goofball.

This is the deal with my uncle Phil. He's a nut and my aunt May more than holds her own in that marriage.

Oh, dear. My mom does it in a very funny way. If anyone ever called her on it, she'd totally fess up with a look of, "What?"

mr. flea bought a laptop last night. As he would want me to say, a 15 inch powerbook G4 with added memory and he got one of those little scuba-gear bags to keep it in, too.

I got a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Okay, my pressie cost only 1/100th as much, but mine came "deeply chilled." Yes, folks, Cheesecake Factory has a euphemism for "frozen." It's pretty good cheesecake, too, although it was a tough car ride home what with Evie going "I. WANT. CHEESE. CAKE." and me going, "Honey, it's deeply chilled! And we're in the car! Could you be a little patient? Please?"

Evie going "I. WANT. CHEESE. CAKE."

Ahahah. Sound like you are raising her right.

I need lunch.
I have no food here.
I am lazy.

Add these things together? I may starve.

Why is it only 2:40? It feels like 5, at least.

YES. Except that it's 3:40 here. 3:48. And 50 seconds.

If only you had a pneumatic tube. Everybody needs a big nationwide network of pneumatic tubes to instantly send objects to the desk or couch of our choice!
