And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How's this for some bullshit? Peapod:
We're sorry; our policies prohibit the delivery of products from our Wine & Spirits department on Sundays between 06:00 AM and 02:00 PM.
And naturally, all the other delivery times are sold out this weekend. Which, anyway, I'm half tempted to cancel the order on general principle.

OMG there is some kind of really loud machine doing god-knows-what-down the hall, and it stinks. This has been a spectacularly unproductive day (except for a nice lunch with consuela), which is to say, time to go home early to get away from the smell and noise.
Time to go home and get caught up on Jericho!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Comment in Cary Tennis' column on Salon:
I've noticed this: The guys who are afraid and nervous, it's about their dads. And the guys who are dramatic and needy, it's about their moms.
Is this general knowledge? Conventional Wisdom?
Obviously a generalization but does it ring true or run counter to personal experience?

If there's a better sound than a baby laughing, I don't know what it is.
Weekend plans: Write, sing in choir Sun. a.m., watch Oscars. Hope our laptop comes back from the mothership soon, because this whole sharing a computer thing just doesn't work, not with a web developer working on a freelance gig married to a writer who's feeling behind on her current manuscript.

Cutie gigglyhead D! Washcloths make our two giggle as well. Magic?

Oh, you people and your sharing of things like Etsy. [link] (it's cooler looking on the mannequin's neck, but it won't link directly to that one) Oh, dear. It comes in brass, too. [link]
Uh-huh. Because I need an octopus necklace? I mean, I don't, and I won't, but now I know it's there, and it looks so neat. And I think I'm about to waste a whole lot of time just browsing around. Man.

Colin's buying a new house--I may go look at that. But it's in Eagle Rock, so I may not.
If you do make it out here, call. We will be home most the weekend packing boxes and we'll need extra hands to hold baby.
Allyson, are you available sometime this weekend?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm available all day sunday.
