"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday on perjury and obstruction of justice charges

Schadenfreude. And the kicker is, he should be grateful: they haven't got him on tax evasion charges (yet).

I wonder if he and Martha Stewart will create a support group?

My parent bought a copy and enjoyed it. Mom loved "The Internet Wants Your Daughters." Which reminds me, I need to remember to pack my copy.

Waiting for washers.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I just totally skipped 300 messages because my LJ homepage (which I still hate, yet do find useful because it lists things like birthdays) informed me about someone's birthday.

Happy Birthday, sumi!!!

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday sumi!

I can't see my parents here, since I've had to explain the idea of ISPs at least a few times over the last few years.(In other words, they don't totally get that AOL is not the Internet)

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

Hmm. There are now print header sheets printed before every job on the colour printer. I just spent many minutes watching 4 copies of a long and colourful PDF print out--a job that had been sitting half done until I showed up and refilled the paper tray so I could get my one sheet that really does need to be printed in colour to present all the information.

So they know who the bad guy is--but he's the highest ranked guy on the floor so I don't think his knuckles will be rapped unless he motes it be.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's still weird, you know. I wrote a book. Weird.

I read the chapter about Nilly visiting America to Wallybee. She got a real kick out of it. She knew I got a lot of support here before, but I think that chapter made it real to her. (Plus, she thought it was hysterical comparing my post to the others.)

LAUNDRY DONE.

... it was just such a monumental ordeal of shuffling other people's laundry and waiting and up and down the stairs and...ok, so I don't have anything else.

And I had to tape the last 15 minutes of Ugly Betty to deal with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure my dad has lurked here, but not really in real-time, so.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Cars are supposed to allow cycles the same space they would allow a car and are never to occupy the same horizontal stretch of the same lane.

Not in CA! Lane splitting is actually legal here. So motorcycles CAN occupy contiguous horizontal space to a car. I am pretty good about watching for lane splitters. But honestly, if you are going 80 mph on a motorcycle, lane splitting where two major freeways merge, where the rest of us are going 10 mph.... you might get hit.

I'm watching PD right now and loving it. It's my gift for spending over 110 miles in my car today (I shit you not) and spending 3 hours in my car since I left work today. But I did get to snuggle Gracie.
