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.

If nothing else, they make me feel old -- she's turning 28.
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.

Whoa! Stunt fashion! Very cool and odd how they transform.

That's got to be a Sign of Something Wrong. Now, the question is, is it about the specific job, or working in general. Because if it's the first, presumably I could do something about it. If it's the second, I need to get a grip on reality.
Who wants a grip on that reality? I recently went to a casting session of "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" and I am incredibly bitter that I wasn't cast. I have such a good plan for what I would do with a million dollars after taxes! It would be so fun! There were so many awesome things on my list: classes, traveling, writing, new clothes, and a condo, just to name a few. Plus the casting session was really fun, and both people in there kept laughing. I kind of think the fact that I got all the questions right is where I went wrong. And I probably should have pretended to be more impressed with my intelligence, so that it would have been a bigger shock when I got trounced with smartness by elementary school kids. I mean, it is a FOX show.
If nothing else, they make me feel old -- she's turning 28.
If it makes you feel better, I'll be turning 25 at the end of the month, and I fully intend to ask for a million dollars for my birthday. And also a pony. And I was at a party last night, and I totally felt older than everyone. Though I find that feeling is easy to achieve when you arrive a couple hours late, so that everyone is already wasted by the time that you get there.
