Good lord, people. 500 posts of whitefont. (I don't do games.)
I am contemplating grocery shopping. Shortly. I am almost never doing anything more productive than showering when the clock shows these numbers. FREAKY.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

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
We need Bisquick. I forget to pick some up.

Oh, lovely. Just got off the phone with my sister. Good news: due to her perseverance, we now have a birthday present for our impossible-to-buy-for dad. Bad news: our aunt and uncle are coming up for Thanksgiving, and they're going to be staying in the other spare bedroom at our parents' house.
Well, I mean... I like them okay, but they're very loud people, and also they snore. So I'll be bringing my laptop and iPod and headphones and DVDs and also booze with me tomorrow.

What is even happening?
That Guardian piece on the TomKat wedding is hysterical, Laura.
They made a mistake about Tom and Brooke, though:
Almost the only story about Tom Cruise in the past 24 months, apart from "With Katie Holmes" and "No longer with Paramount (plus variations - "was dropped because is a nutter" etc) is that he has fallen out with Brooke Shields. It was newsworthy for a number of reasons: first, that celebrities never, ever diss one another in public; and second, that the reason for his disapprobation was Brooke having talked openly about her depression and the drugs she took for it, when he disapproved of drug-taking (because he is a Scientologist. Have we mentioned that?) So, apart from the fact that he had no business having a go at her in the first place, and the fact that there is nothing, no film, no group of friends, that would ever connect these two people, how is it that she, as one of only a handful of famous people there, constitutes 20% of his A-list? Just how on earth does that happen? I mean, clearly from her point of view, the Prozac is making her very forgiving - but from his? Whither his disapproval now?
They were both in Endless Love. I don't think Cruise had a big part, though. I'm not sure--never watched the whole thing.
I thought the Guardian piece was just taking the piss about the vows, but MSNBC reports the same sort of language:
In the old-fashioned language that marks the Traditional version, the groom is reminded that "girls" need "clothes and food and tender happiness and frills, a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat" — and is asked to provide them all.
The bride, in turn, is told that "young men are free and may forget" their promises.
[link] I did a quick Google search, and it's pretty widely reported that those are at least one set of Scientology vows.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh, and I got coffee the other day and had it ground.I need to get this. And milk. And basically everything else.
Natter now contains whitefonted puzzlings and my grocery list. This is better than some drugs.

Shortly. I am almost never doing anything more productive than showering when the clock shows these numbers. FREAKY.
But technically, your body says it's 11:00 AM.
Bisquick was on the list. I'll bring genuine Ohio Maple Syrup.
Salad fixings is on the list. Anything else? I'm making Mac and Cheese!
