Did the FEMA people get new jobs helping Glark run the technical side of TwoP? Site errors and downtime have been climbing for the stratosphere lately, and now the forums are down for revamping again just in time to kill the buzz following all the SciFriday season finales.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's lovely and warm here, too. I'm not minding a bit, as I've had enough of winter.(even though this winter wasn't all that bad, I still am tired of it.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Am sleepy, since even though theoretically I slept enough, the damn cat woke me up several times. Bah.
It seems lovely outside, so I'm thinking I'll pack up the readings I'll need to use for my take-home midterm and take them to Central Park to go through them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My Dad got a remote-controlled racing car for my nephew's bday. It's zooming all over the house right now. There's a dog that looks not unlike Rolf from the Muppets behind the wheel. Cutest.
So sad I'm not going to be here for his birthday. He loves cake and I Cream. That's how he says it, "I Cream."
He hasn't tried pie, yet. I should have made a pie while I was here. Damn.
All packed. Ready to go. Don't want to leave the nephew. But my SIL wants to take him to LA. So, maybe next year. She was really stoked about the thought of Catalina, when I described Thanksgiving to her, but you know, Thanksgiving, adults, one crazy toddler...not such a good idea.
Blathering on. Too much caffeine.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yay, Spring!!

Depending on the actual people involved, one kid and a bunch of adults can be great -- you can spread out the intensive kid time. When I was in high school, my family took a couple of trips with another family that had one kid my age and one little one, and it was great.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Definitely depends on the toddler. Really, I find that generally it's when they run in herds that it gets hair-raising for all.
It's a lovely day here, and I'm opening windows that haven't been open in at least six months if not more. I was even so enthused that I went out and bought some seeds that allow you to plant them six weeks before last frost date... which coincidentally is today! So I'd better get crackingplanting.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It's beautiful here, too. Sunny and about 70. Daffodils and narcissi are starting to bloom. I have windows open, and as soon as I watch 24, I am going to blast tunes and clean, clean, clean.

The status is NOT quo.
Safe flight back, Allyson.
If it's any consolation, it's supposed to be much nicer by Tuesday, but MAN. Typical New England March weather seems to have followed me out to the West Coast. Gray. Cloudy. Cold. Rainy. Feh.

It's freaking gorgeous out. But have I spent much time outside? Nope.
Lay on the floor in my pjs and listened to TAL. And yelled at the ceiling.
Watching Mister Kitty closely. He let out one of those unearthly gonnahork yowls and I got him over the sink. He's acting very very subdued now. Mrph.
