'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

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

Because I think you were all mammals.

Jar-Jar isn't a mammal.

Our wings are not tired.

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!

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

Sing it.

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.

That's the magic of being dictatorial. An end to self-identification.

Tommy--what is Jar Jar?

I don't think it counts as just another long black skirt.

Mine are all fundamentally different. I just think no one else actually notices. Now I'll definitely wear one in to work.

Hmm. Site didn't offer instore pickup. I wonder where I was remembering that from. Seems like a good way to get customers into your actual store, but maybe the profit on S&H is sufficient that there's no point, especially if they have to mess with standard stocking.

Can I send my boyfriend to hang out in your chamber with you? He can't stop watching the US Open.

As long as he understands that he is not allowed to fidget or speak to me or otherwise do anything that might possibly annoy me, because that would mean sending your boyfriend back in a coffin. It's nothing personal!
