Nice! I got my new cords at Macy's. But may go back to LB for more, because I love my cords in the winter, oh yes I do!

In spite of the lame-ass review of Assassin's Creed, I want to buy the game (and an X-Box to play it on).

It sure looks pretty and my computer could probably run it well enough to look as good or a little better than an X-Box, but I picked up Oblivion (also very pretty) and will probably be playing that for the better part of a year.

I have to get braces to correct the bite, or I'll lose teeth.

Good luck with the braces Allyson. I've been amazed at how fast my daughter's braces have improved her teeth, and not just in appearence. I hope your braces work with such speed as well.

You know what is bad? It is bad when peanut butter cookies in a pack turn out to be all stuck together, so you have to eat FIVE COOKIES instead of eating one.

Couldn't you just break them apart?

Anyhow we aren't sure how long she will be hospitalized. Poor poor girl.

Still wishing her lots of health.

I'm convinced that the 24th century Federation was so stuffy and boring that the cool exotic races all fled the galaxy to join the gays wherever they'd gone centuries earlier

That totally makes sense. Also, great irony having the Federation based in San Francisco.

Though I once read the most depressing fanfic that the reason there were no gays was that the 'gay' gene was erased from the human genome during the Eugenics Wars of the early 21st century (the same wars that created Khan) .....

Ironic since I think Khan was gay. Seriously, the outfit, the obsession with Kirk... Only he was like one of the Republican anti-gay gays that couldn't accept it. If he had accepted himself, he wouldn't have been so angry. On the downside that would have eliminated the best Trek movie and the great yelling straight up cliche.

Khan did have a wide stance.

I don't even want to think about how lame a universe without The Gay would be.

That's great news about Emaryn. Is she in school this year, Gud?

Yep, she's in third grade this year. She likes school and it has greatly reduced the tension between daughter and mom. OTOH, school is easy for her. The principle has set up a deal with the school librarian where Emaryn can go off to the library to work on a project if she finishes her work in class early.

She's taken an IQ test and rated at 128 overall, bright, but not high enough numbers for the gifted program.

I can order online from Lane Bryant, but I wish there was a store around so I could try things on, because the fear of having to return (and eat the already exorbitant shipping costs) keeps me from ordering from there.

Ok, so the boy fell asleep after his last bottle. Sometime in the last 5 minutes he woke up and is lying in the bed, chattering and giggling. Not the ha HAHAHAH documented earlier but is a faster heh -eh-eh-eh. Wonder what is so silly?

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

I don't even want to think about how lame a universe without The Gay would be.

I am so out of it. After reading all this gay Khan stuff, I went back to work trying to fix a report. So I was trying to figure out why the EstAtCompAmt field is Null. Except I was thinking to myself, "Why is EstAtCompAmt gay?"

So last night, I went to see No Country for Old Men, which was amazing, but pretty bleak and disturbing. Then i get home and there are no lights on at my house. None. The power is out. Which, after seeing that movie, kind of freaked me out. I sat in the dark for a couple of hours contemplating the nature of evil. Not exactly a fun night. But finally the power came on, and I got to see Project Runway Canada.

I think I set my alarm wrong when I reset my clock last night and I woke up at 7:51. My bus gets to my stop at 7:58. Despite my valiant efforts (and some Swearingen level profanity) I did not make it out the door until 8:01. Thankfully no one noticed me being 10 minutes late on my second week of work.

"Why is EstAtCompAmt gay?"

Because it's Fabulous
