Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I was looking for Winter Olympics info since Figure Skating season started and I saw this short "cartoon" that the Olympics committee put together:
(the links for the short are near the top - 2 bandwidth options) and I think this is really a weird cartoon. Is this supposed to get kids interested in the Olympics? I can see the opposite reaction.

Lily is amazingly gorgeous.
Pre-Annabel I did three loads of laundry once a week. Now it's twice a week, and averages four loads per cycle.

Help! Firefox isn't recognizing keyboard input! I thought it just wasn't letting me scroll with it, which isn't a big deal, but it turns out I can't type into the posting box (I'm typing this in Word to paste into the box). Anybody know anything about this?
Also, mmm, chili. I can't complain – just had leftover scones with clotted cream and raspberry jam. Still, chili...
Oh, now you're taking input. I see how you are. Crisis over, apparently, but... how weird?

Our wings are not tired.
Lillian is indeed a beautiful child.
so I've been doing my own since I was about 11.
Oh good. Now I don't feel bad for making the boys do theirs. I do the whites though because otherwise their socks would stay black.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Emily, I've found that closing and reloading Firefox works most of the time for that

Oy. World Series or no, I'd hate to be sitting in a stadium tonight. We're getting hail right now.

I do laundry every two weeks. Usually 2 loads ($5), though it expands to 3 during the winter or if I decide it is time to launder the comforter or futon cover. There are some items I have no problem with wearing twice, considering they only get worn for 9 hours while I sit on my ass and are put on a clean body. I have an appalling amount of clothes I don't or can't wear. Need to go through and goodwill a bunch of it. Maybe next weekend.
In my quest to actually get out and Do Something, I went and saw Good Night and Good Luck. Audience demographic was interesting. There were probably 3 people under 60, and all manner of canes, walkers and wheelchairs. Partly the neighborhood, partly the subject, I'd guess.

Wow, Sarameg. I went to see that last night, in the theater just up the block from the coffeeshop where I'm sitting. The crowd was mostly 30s-50s white East Bay lefties.
When Murrow makes his big speech in the beginning, there were cheers and clapping in the audience. Yeah, we're not critical of the mass media here.
I thought it was an interesting movie, but not a brilliant one. Not enough drama to it, and the pacing was odd. Still, such a good cast.
