Why won't my coffee cup refill itself without requiring me to get up off the couch?
I tell my children this is why I keep them around. They @@, but they do fill the cup.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to say, I love the Maria Sharapova...Nike?...ad. The one where they sing "I feel pretty."
It's very nice and tidy, and inasmuch as the randy audience can tell one pretty blonde Russian tennis player from the next, serves to separate her from Kournikova. She's serenaded by everyone on her way to the tennis court, but her first stroke on the tennis court stops all the singing cold.

That one always catches my attention. I've seen it so many times, and yet I always notice it. Well done.

Huh, I always got the impression from that "I Feel Pretty" ad that they're being forced to sing it. The line judge looks particularly eye-rolly and put-upon.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I LOVE that ad.
I am off to try to really, really clean the house today--not just the usual vaccuming and scrubbing, but reorganizing some cabinets, cleaning the fridge, and other needed but time-consuming stuff.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I already left the house, had breakfast (yum-- spinach scramble), went to Safeway, went to TJs, convinced Ozzie to let me trim one of his whiskers (it had curled so it kept hitting him in the eye), and done a tiny bit of tidying.
I'd say yay me, but I suspect that might be it for the day.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I went out for brunch with E's aunt and uncle, and ran into Sparky, which was really fun! (Also ran into a co-worker, but since he lives in the neighborhood, that's not so surprising.) Sparky says hi to everyone, but she won't be back online until she gets home tomorrow.
I had plans to get my hair cut, but my stylist is working out of the Manhattan branch today, so it'll have to wait until Wednesday. Which means my further plans for the day are going to the gym and reading Lost Girls.

That's really cool, Jess. Did you get to talk to M, too? She's cool.

I didn't, no -- Sparky walked by my table on her way to the restroom and we talked for a bit, but I didn't see her on my way out for some reason. (It's possible I rudely walked right by her, but I was looking, and I didn't see them.)
