It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

I went out with my sister today and did our traditional going to the movies--but seriously, it's gotten ridiculous out there. Ten years ago we started doing this, the movie theaters tended to be pretty empty. Today we tried to go to a 1pm movie, got there at 12:30, and it was SOLD OUT! So we bought tickets for the 4pm Dreamgirls instead, and went to see Sweet Land at the arthouse theater (which was still pretty empty). Sweet Land is about a mail-order bride around WWI era, going to Minnesota Norwegians, but she turns out to be German (gasp!). It was interesting, but a little odd. Dreamgirls was great fun, and the audience was all into it, cheering and clapping after half the songs...I was a little annoyed at one point though, because while I know they record the actual soundtrack singing later, they could make it LOOK like they're singing--but no, during the big "I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" scene, she was barely breathing. You can't sing that kind of big diva song without some breath, girl. Make it look real.

Ha! After several days of trying, I've managed to connect to my Mom's wifi network. It turned out that I had to enter in the hexadecimal version of the password. How anti-intuitive....

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

I think I gained 48657137 pounds. Send help.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It turned out that I had to enter in the hexadecimal version of the password.

I think I had that same router once. We had an unsecured network....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think there is some type of WiFi encryption that requires passwords in hex. Most, of course, don't.

Allyson is me, only with a great book contract.

Allyson is me, also, but with a book contract and probably not tipsy.

And me, but I reassure myself that it's not physically possible to consume enough calories to perceptibly gain more than a pound or two over the holidays. Also, I'm going running in the morning. Joy.

My nephew has been taught to say, "capice."

As in, "I want some hot cocoa, capice?"
