He doesn't want to take the initiative to make himself happy when it's so much easier to make you miserable. All is explained now.

Nods like a professional nodder from Nod.

My DH is watching the Cowboys while doing his housecleaning chores. I find this hilarious for some reason.

vw, the quilt looks gorgeous! Go you!

askye, definitely stay away from that asshat.

Congratulations on your new place, Aimee, MM, and Emeline!

Well I'm bummed. ND and I were supposed to go down to meet laga and her family tonight for a concert in the park, but now we can't. Totally not anyone's fault, just bad luck. ND had a 10AM meeting down in Costa Mesa, so he had to fight his way through rush hour traffic to get down there. The meeting went long, and then he had to drive back up to Universal Studios to pick up plans for Halloween for another long meeting, and then he had to fight his way through rush hour back home. He got home less than twenty minutes ago, and neither of us felt that jumping back into a car for another 90 minutes to two hours to drive back down through rush hour to Garden Grove was the best idea. So. Plans have been falling through a lot lately. Ah well. We shall have to find other entertainment tonight.

Nicole, insent.

Kristin, I hate when traffic gets in the way of meaningful fun. :(

Yeah, that's what people say when they know you have a point. You know at least a few buffistas who love what they do. Off the top of my head, our librarians, KristinT, Fay, javachick, lori... It's true. He knows it. He's changing the subject.

Yup. Love my job. Though today can bite me in the ass with dentures.

Oh, by the way, NYC Bitchistas....

I heard last night on NPR (As It Happens, Canadian show) that a city councilwoman from Brooklyn is trying to pass a symbolic resolution against the use of the words "bitch" and "ho." In the interview with her, she was inarticulate, and seeming incapable of seeing how using the word "bitch" in particular, for comedy or affection, was acceptable under any circumstances.

The whole interview I kept thinking I knew several women in the city who actually self-identify with that word in a very positive way.

I also kept thinking that people who cannot pronounce the word "ask" correctly should not be setting public policy about language usage.

Axe her no questions, she'll tell you no lice?

Happy Birthday, Aimee!!!

Thanks guys, I should have done something about this before, but I haven't so I am now.

Oh! and there's a Minra Loy and William Powell movie on TCM and another after that so I'm cheered up.

Oh, ugh, askye!

So, um, I finished the other quilt, which I basically started this afternoon. I'm zonked. There be pictures here: [link] and a close-up here: [link]

Go vw! You are clearly in the quiltmaking zone.
