not your mom's socks.

Is it weird for me to have breakfast now and then go back to sleep?

or you could finish the Tufte book and then send it to me....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, but you might need second breakfast later.

Happy birthday, Dana!! Happy birthday, Ellie!!

My milk curdled in my coffee this morning (sell by date of 6/2), and I think it's not actually warm enough to wear what I'm wearing, and bleh.

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

It's the perfect bits and pieces book. I could be reading it for YEARS. I see from an insert where you can pay $320 for a one day course of his that includes his big three books, which is certainly nothing at which to sneeze.

but you might need second breakfast later

Yeah, I sense a crash and burn in my future for sure.

Go Wednesday go! I expect the board to be properly motivated by the time I return in an hour or so. My knees ache and I have more walkthrough to do, so I will need to be ganking the mojo.

Happy Birthday, Dana!

Happy Birthday, Ellie!

There was a H2O main break this morning so I am without coffee or shower at work. IOW: Gronk-Zzzzz.

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'm hoping Obama will offer the Vice Presidency to me. (Hey, the Obamas sent me a Christmas card once.) I will then focus on building the Department of Cats.

Post of assorted topics:

I think amych recently did the one-day Edward Tufte course.

Every time he hears Barack Obama's name on the radio, Peter now says, "Rock O Mama!" It is both adorable and makes me feel like a rock star somehow.

Happy Birthday to Ellie!

Has anyone been moved by the kind of movers who pack for you? The US Govmint is moving us to Athens and this is apparently what they do. I am alternately thrilled and afraid.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I think amych recently did the one-day Edward Tufte course.

I did, with several coworkers. We all came back even bigger dorks than we were before, with a tendency to bitch loudly about bullshitty clipart in powerpoints.

I have no experience with movers other than the kind you bribe with beer and pizza.

I have used bullshitty clipart in powerpoints. I figure if you're committed to the evil that is powerpoint, why not go for the bullshitty clipart?

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

Our last movers packed up electronics (i.e., the TV), framed artwork, and clothes for us. It was okay.

I'm pretty sure the US Gov't's moved Raq several times.

Time to go get buried in work.
