Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Our wings are not tired.

DH has his money on Pgh in the office pool. Woo Hoo! $10 riding on this. (I passed on the pool because I didn't care)

"Wow! She's so much smarter than you are."

Piffle. Such a different (and clearly complimentary) skillset that you can't be compared that way.

Well, he got his $10.

Crap.

Dude, I got bit by a cleaning bug. It's a wee bit early for spring cleaning, but I went on a tear today. I am not sure the last time things were this clean: vaccumed, dusted, scrubbed floors, did laundry, put away storage, cleaned out a closet, bagged up some stuff to get rid of, and just put away tons of stuff laying about. YAY clean house.

Sorry, from what I overheard from the sports people in my life the Bengals had a very nice season.

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

I could stand to scrub floors. But I've vacuumed, done laundry, scrubbed the bathroom, and finally had myself a hot meal today.

And learnt that my smoke alarm isn't worth shit, because there were plumes of smoke, enough to make my eyes and throat sting from the bacon I burnt. Not a peep out of the detector, though.

They did -- AND it's been so long since the Bengals have done well that we just needed to see it keep going.

Oh, I need to re-hang my smoke detector.

Why are bowl games called bowl games?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have dusted, vacuumed, done laundry, gone grocery shopping, picked up pet food and litter, and helped prune and tidy the front yard. I plan to spend the evening watching TV and vegging out.

A Jamaican place I haven't been to?

Have you been to the one on La Tijera and Sepulveda? (Near Magic Johnson's Franchise Empire.) I think it's called Derrick's or something.

In other news, they are opening up a Peet's on the ground floor of the building on my corner. I'm pissed. I see a lot of detouring up the hill in my future.
