Hee! All of our product people eagerly anticipate his new reviews. He's got a reputation for being unbiased in the import v. American debate.

That's awesome. Yay Robin's DH!

brenda, that really really sucks. I had the deadbolt do that once when I was inside. Luckily, it is external hardware, so I was able to take it apart with a screwdriver and just not use it until it was replaced.

I am pro-seatbelt even as it resulted in me having to listen to a rant about The Man from my friend's husband of 26 hours when I insisted he wear one (Which, believe me, was onerous. Of course, at that point, even if I wasn't that strict, I would have made him wear it, just to torture him.) But he wore the damned thing, which is good cause I got stopped for speeding. Insert obligatory full roll car accident surviving thing too.

It was a Rule in our house, and it's to the point where I don't feel safe and can't feel safe without one. Even if it is a pinchy, throat-sawing one.

I had palaak paneer and naan for dinner. Then a nap.

I think not, Tom.

I just took all the damn locks off (with my trusty new electric drill, yay!), left a note on the door, and took the dog out. The guy's finally looking at the lock, and I'm so frustrated and pissy right now. And, I still have to do my damn work.

Worst part? I was going to take the dog over to the cupcake store when this all happened, and now they are closed. How is that fair?

Not fair at all.

There's a marching band somewhere nearby. I'm kinda mystified. The drums and rhythms are unmistakable. There isn't a school with a marching band anywhere nearby. Who knows?

That is not at all fair, Brenda. Is there any chance you can go meet up with Tom and the others, just for a little while? You deserve some fun.

The Riches is marathoning on FX right now for anyone who was intending to watch and wants to catch up.

I always wear a seatbelt when I drive, but I often don't when riding as a passenger, especially when I think I'm making them wait when they're doing me a favor or if it would take a good deal of hunting to find both ends of the belt. It's stupid, but that's where my head is.

Director's cuts for GG AND SPN are up! (THREE for SPN - and hilarious too!)

Oof.... what a day. I've just skipped 160+ messages so if you left something in particular let me know.

You know what's at the top of my list of good things? NAPS.

Naps are good. I indulged earlier without meaning to.

Hope the weekend improves from oof to mmm.

Work done for tonight. Wine open. Apartment too hot.
