Good luck, brenda!

Just got home from the grocery store. I realized, as my groceries were going over the scanner, that I bought mostly junk. This is why I usually make a list. Appalled, I finally looked at the cashier and said, "Did I buy anything healthy?"

"Sure you did! There was the popcorn and the chips and the ice cream and the cookies and the corndogs. Oh! And look! There's fruit coming up!"

I think it's time to reconsider Weight Watchers.

Aren't you glad you're a grown-up?

NO.

If only hot women would knock on my door and make out with me to make up for it.

There must be a primary tomorrow, because four out of five commercials are political ads.

I wouldn't mind so much, except that the gubernatorial race here in Massachusetts has turned UGLY. Kerry Healey, the only republican running (and the current Lt. Governor), has started a smear campaign against one of the three democrat candidates. It's one of the most bizarre political moves I've ever seen.

I like when you don't keep up with a webcomic for a while, say, Penny Arcade, and then when you randomly check it, it's still hilarious.

JZ has scored a Nick Swisher autograph on Emmett's glove! It even says, "To Emmett - best wishes"!

I think this officially makes JZ the coolest stepmom.

I just got back from my long planned haircut. It's suitably punked out pixieish. Hec would be pleased.

The girl that cut it was a BABY. 20 years old. I feel ancient.

I did not google "male nude butt" on eBay -- really. [link]

While catching up on what I missed, I came across this:

Emmett is going to be all disconsolate when he awakens fully and realizes the magical board game bt brought with him is also gone (I can't for the life of me remember the name, but it involved the construction of churches and other public edifices within a walled city, the acquisition of large sums of cash, building permits, dice, and pirates).

I'll be it is Cities and Knights, a variation of Settlers of Cataan. Fela worships it.

Close; it's Elasund, also in the Settlers of Catan series, but substantially remodelled. For the better, IMO. Settlers suffers from some play balance problems (if you fall a bit behind, it tends to compound), which have largely been addressed in Elasund.

Close; it's Elasund

Oooh! We played this!

Yeah, I have nothing real to contribute -- just, we played this!

Lots of job~ma vibes to you, brenda. Go get that new job!

Poor, poor Newton looks like a wonderfully sweet dog. Lots of health~ma on the way to Baltimore for the pup.
