On the positive side of things, hopefully this won't be too expensive. If it is expensive, perhaps you can find a used fan motor at a junkyard or eBay or something....

Uhnnn. We're currently in "Does it actually stop the car from running? No? Then don't bother" mode. Generally the fan isn't a big deal, what with the San Francisco and the temperate to foggy and all (and it still works about half the time; it's just horrid luck that the Manteca trip fell during the wrong half).

I'm so selfishly glad I missed out on Balls of Fury. Hec said it was execrable (though Emmett loved it; not as much as Blades of Glory, his current best movie EVAR, but definitely a two thumbs way up movie for a nearly 11-year-old boy).

First casualty of moving/packing. Glass-shaded floor lamp, meet ceiling fan. Cue loud bang and shower of glass. Ceiling fan wins. Crap.

Ha. Now we know who the intended audience for that movie was!

Noah and Grace are just so beautiful.

YAY more tennis. bless CBS.

If mac continues to entertain himself, I may actually finally check out the fall show schedule and get some things set up on the Tivo.

OK, this was funny:

Nilly - that's exactly why I like taking the "my hand for scale" pictures - they really have grown so much.

Brenda, bummer about the lamp! No collateral injuries?

No collateral injuries yet. But since the bedroom and all its piles of crap in various stages of cleaning and packing are covered in broken glass, I don't expect that to hold up.

Maybe I'll just throw it all out. That would work, right? The more I pack the more I want it all to just disappear anyway.

Brenda, that sounds crazy.

Wonder Bread (or similar) is good for picking up glass. Maybe go buy a loaf and start patting around?
