Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

one thing that is making you happy today

So far, I got nothing. Well, it's Friday, that makes me happy.

I'm on deck to test a bug fix and cleanup script, but systems analysis and engineering can't get on the same frelling page, it seems. We've got a monster e-mail chain going, and I'm waiting for the inevitable "Take it to a meeting!" demand, which is fine, but I don't want to have to go, because I'll just be listening to SA and the developers haggle. Not interested.

What plans do you have for the cutiehead?

The actual celebration is tomorrow. I'm going to take him and his sister to see Shrek 3 at a big fancy theater, then there's going to be a party where he will get cupcakes and plenty of presents.

Are there songs about lunch or better yet, burritos?

I think I probably have at least one song about burritos on my iPod.

Yes, problem solved.

Did I mention that each concert is something like six hours long, and I'm getting old?

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

Birthday Happies for Leif!!!

I just remembered that I drove today. So I can have lunch in downtown Evanston if I want.

Have you ever been in one of those moods where you think, "A cute animal must die, so I can eat it"? Like maybe a duckie or a bunny?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

one thing that is making you happy today

My awesome DIY gothy red-and-black French manicure is still looking good, 6 days in.

Happy birthday, Leif!

No. I only think that about babies.

I pretty much spent our whole trip to NZ thinking, "little lambs so cute so tasty!"

Happy Birthday to Lief!

Idly googled a childhood friend I haven't talked to since last summer and discovered that not only is she painting again, but that she & her husband are going to be opening up a gallery in our hometown!

Last we talked, she was missing her art and trying to figure out what she wanted to do next, paying-jobwise. Makes me very happy for her.
