And I have two seasons of The Office (US) to catch up on dvd! Priorities, people!

I've always said that the secret to a good relationship is two bathrooms and two TVs. And now I add two Tivos.

Cons suffer from the same Buttless Chaps Guy problem gay pride parades do. You never remember the 25,000 reasonable people who have pants on. You remember the guy waking around exposing his hairy white asscheeks in the name of liberation.

(I know that it's a formal cognitive bias, not called Buttless Chaps Guy, but canna be arsed -- so to speak -- to look it up.)

Oh, god. If not for the Open this year I'd have cut some bitches by now. It's made the enforced home-ness of the random orthostatic hypotension easier, by far.

Irritated that I somehow managed not to get the end of the Federer/Roddick match and it wasn't USA's match of the day. Grr.

My sister's the 15th. She's very demanding.

Java, I got two of these, one of these (why? I don't wear brown!!), and this for which the question is "Another long black skirt? Are you serious?" It's all flea's fault.

My sister pointed out that I like getting stuff in the mail too much. Could be true. On the other hand, I also need to buy a juicer online this morning (going with the attachment to my Kitchenaid Mixer--didn't know that even existed), and I hope to have it delivered to a nearby store where I can pick it up instead of juggling delivery services.

Happiest of birthdays to Nilly and flea!

Yay for walking and flipping, Matilda and Dylan!

I was watching the Ireland episode of Anthony Bourdain over the weekend, and I'm pretty sure at one point he was in County Cork watching "street bowling," in which the two contestants took turns throwing a metal ball down the road until it rolled off the pavement. Whoever got the ball to the end of the 1 1/2 mile stretch of road in the fewest throws won (sort of like golf), but it was mostly a venue for a good walk for the (all-male) spectators, as well as a gambling opportunity--there ended up being 2000 euros in the pot.

If you can find a single thing that everyone has in common, I will give you a cookie.

What kind of cookie? I prefer raisin oatmeal. Because I think you were all mammals.

Happy Birthday Nilly!!!

Because I think you were all mammals.

Jar-Jar isn't a mammal.

The nadia pinstriped skirt is beautiful! And you're getting such a great deal on the "another long black skirt" and it's crinkly! I don't think it counts as just another long black skirt. Nice, Ita!

Sing it.

Because I think you were all mammals.

You know, I kind of doubt it. At least in terms of self-identification.

I made cookies last night. Dark chocolate with cappucino chips. I'm very popular here at work today.
