You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Thanks! Yep, it's my birthday, the big 3-4.

It's suck yucky weather out- I kind of wish I could go with it and snuggle in all day long, but alas, I'll be leaving soon for lunch/haircut, and then driving to the Cape for a friend's bachelorette party.

It should be fun once I get there, I'm just not wild about driving down there by myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm supposed to go to a birthday party tonight, and I just don't want to. None of the mutual friends will be there, and I'm not that crazy about the birthday girl's other friends. If nothing else, they make me feel old -- she's turning 28.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday Nora!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy Birthday, Nora!!!!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Turns out I had seen one part of it before, rememered it vividly. I must have walked in on someone else watching it as some point and caught just 20-30 minutes. odd.

Now lunch and maybe changing sheets.

Oh good, it only took a dozen or so tries before I got the wireless keyboard working. This is important because it has all sorts of useful controls on it, like turning off the sound....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Going back to the microwave conversation, I just heated up some Trader Joe's taquitos in my toaster oven, and I realize that part of it for me may be that my favorite food texture is crisp/crunchy, so convenience foods in the toaster oven are yummier for me than convenience foods in the microwave.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Theo, if I haven't mentioned it, I've really admired how you've dealt with this year and I'm very excited for your return to school.

Happiest birthday, Nora!

Jessica, that sounds like a splendid weekend.

Jesse, I too prefer the crunchy taquito effect achieved through ovens over nuking.

I'm picking up AmyLiz at 1:36 today, bringing her back to Chez Zmayhem (where I'm bobbing her hair) and then releasing her into the wild.

JZ, Matilda and Emmett have gone on walkabout to give me computer/writing time. Emmett has been bribed with promises of donuts.

I'm 28, and people keep making me feel old all the time! And a loser. I'm running around making people refer to me as Milton Morlock Waddams.

I think I'll heat up some of the linguine with pine nuts and snow peas that was so tasty last night.
