From way back:

Does Sir Anthony (or British people in general) not pronounce the H in is first name or is Gwynneth just being weird?

Brits in general don't pronounce the H, which is why my dad is very glad his name is spelled Antony - though even then lots of Americans still get it wrong.

Gwynneth might still be weird in other ways, though.

Fiona!

Nilly!!

Fiona-with-one-more-exclamation-point!!!

How are things with you, all of you? How are things with Clara? And with her big brother? And with their mom?

Things are pretty good, thanks for asking. C. is a beautiful, smiley, happy girl (most of the time) and lots of fun. She's starting to get more active, rolling onto her tummy and things like that. B. started kindergarten (i.e. preschool) in September and seems to be enjoying it. The one problem is that he has been sick a lot in the past few months, but that seems to be par for the course.

I'm OK too. A bit tired, but keeping busy and reasonably healthy, touch wood.

How are things with you?

Edit: have to dash off shopping now, so I'll catch up your answer later!

Ziyi Zhang is so freaking beautiful.

Too bad her dress wasn't.

Timelies and gronk. GGs kept me up too late.

Yay Fiona! Everything sounds great.

OMG where does the time go.

Bah.

Is it possible that cutting back on one's steroid use could cause a splitting headache? I don't get headaches too often, but this one started last evening and has only gotten worse.

If it is steroid withdrawl, then hopefully my taking my one steroid pill this morning will help....

I thought the post office was closed yesterday. Yet, stuff I put into the mailbox yesterday afternoon has already reached Netflix. When they're fast, they're fucking fast.

tommy, I sincerely hope that's not the case. Have you tried cold compresses?

I liked Ziyi Zhang's dress, but the colour looked funny. Maybe it's one of those ones that loses in translation. She shoulda just gone with red.
