My step dad took a picture of my siblings and my mom this past weekend. I think she looks damn good for 86. Her hair is about 25% gray now. My brother is the baby of the family at 52. [link]
No clue if his picture link will work until I try it.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I'm taking a Greyhound bus today. I bought the tickets online. Since I bought them online, they say I have to show up at least one hour early to pick up my tickets.
wtf?

Unsurprisingly, I also get carded all the time. Since I'm 32, that's generally not an issue...except for the one time we went out to dinner and I forgot my license. Then it was just annoying since NO ONE ELSE I was with got carded and could all drink. I didn't even really want the beer, but it irked me all night. I may have sulked. A little.
In random news, I downloaded a bunch of French music (jazz, pop, etc.) in honor of One Book Week (we've been reading The Little Prince as a grade 6-12 school--very fun) and now have lots of new artists to spend money on. I only bought a few tracks of this album, but I really want all of them. So addictive!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
A little.
Ahem.

Aw, Laura-- your family is really cute! Especially since he called you all "the kids".
When I was 27, one of the theatre students (who was 21) thought I was "at least 40". And now one of my professors from college is a new professor where I work. I told a student this and he said "Wow, he must be REALLY old!". Strangely, people who are my age or older tend to think I am younger than I am (33).

I was still getting carded in my 40s, but it has been a decade and 50 pounds since that happened. I found it happened most often with people from other ethnic backgrounds.

"I thought you were 40, at least."
Does dude not understand that you always guess 29, at least until 50 is an obviously flattering underestimation?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously -- what is wrong with all these people guessing people's ages at 'at least 40'??

Well, in my experience, the pick-up machines don't necessarily work, so you might have to wait in the ticket-buying line anyway.
Also, why oh why did my big boss come into the office just now? If you finished an out-of-office meeting at 3 on a Friday, would you really go to the office? Annoying. At least I didn't get in trouble like I was afraid I was about to.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Cash, I think (would have to check to be certain) my uni computer store has nanos and shuffles at an academic discount price -- that is, I know they have 'em because I was just there a couple of days ago getting melty over the colorful cuteness of the shuffles, but I'd need to check on the discount. Even with shipping, they'd probably be a bit less than through a regular store if you wanted me to get them for you (unless you already have access to an academic discount).
I haven't been carded in many years, but last week I was out walking with Emmett and Matilda and we ran into a doctor from work. He stared at Emmett and said, "I had no idea you were old enough to have a son this big!" Uhmmm, not actually my own son, but yes, old enough and then some. He was slightly anomalous, though: people my age and older usually guess properly, and the underestimaters are generally in their 20s and younger.
