It's the whole parking dealie that bugs. She hordes cars.

Yeah, and she hordes parking spaces! That's even worse!

Now I'm imagining a tower of old cars, one on top of the other (complete with a puddle of transmission fluid below one of them, happily in the back seat of the car underneath it in the tower). It only takes one parking space, and it can also be some sort of a - goodness, how do you call them, those big art displays that are sometimes put on the streets? One of those.

It's sad how the vocabulary (not just English, but in general) slips away with the decrease in sleeping hours. Especially since what I'm supposed to be doing right now is write. Hmm, do y'all figure that by the time shabbat ends and I actually sleep a double-digits number of hours, I'll suddenly have a flood or words all dancing around in my head trying to find their places in sentences long forgotten? I could probably make a little tower of them, somehow, as well.

Ahem.

Regardless of whatever sad little heap is becoming of what used to be my brain, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is a double Buffista birthday, Ms. Havisham's as well as Katerina Bee's.

Alas, both of the birthday girls' posts are long missing from (at least my) screen, but of course I hope the well wishes find their way to them, somehow. IIRC, CaBil posted a couple of days ago, so hopefully he'll be able to pass along the birthday happies to his DW, so at least there would be that.

Also, in case I'll have less internet time in the coming couple of day s(it's shabbat, then a fast): tomorrow, the 9th, will be Aims' birthday, so early wishes for her, as well.

Hi Nilly! I'm up way too late, and off to bed, but popped in to babypicspam new Noah and Grace pics: [link]

lori!

It's great to post with you, just for you. [Edit: so, um, good night!]

But the pictures are always such a great bonus.

Aww, thanks. Check the link again in a few minutes - I'm trying to upload some more as I roll off to bed. Good night!

Oh, thanks for the heads-up!

They're there - beautiful Gracie has so many faces! And little teeth of her own!

Oh, and I love your captions.

There are four cars in the back, along with motorcycles and a boat. None of them work, and one has a puddle of transmission fluid under it.

Oh dear. That's unfortunate, Allyson. I hope none of the local animals gets into the transmission fluid—that's not a pleasant way to go.

Anyway, I'm glad your neighbor understands that the source of the crazy is the landlady.

Yeah, it's 5:22 am and I'm online. How ya doing, insomnia?

How ya doing, insomnia?

Not going to bed yet, waking up and unable to go back to sleep, or none of the above?

Either way, I'm sorry.

Waking up at 3:30 am and not being able to go back to sleep. Usually it hits me from the other end of the night, but insomnia's a tricksy creature.

But, thanks.

Skipping out of rage.

I have this coworker, who I'm sure is a good person, but lack most of social skills. I'm doing QA control at the moment, sending him stuff to fix, and getting back the stuff, sometimes with his comments.

And the guy just doesn't know how to write "I don't agree with you" in not insulting way. I just got from him "check the dictionary for X, I'm doubt it if anyone's searching for what you're suggesting".

And I get these comments from him all of the time. I'm seeing red here. The way he's phrasing himself doesn't even wanna make me consider for a moment his suggestions, and answering back the using the same tone won't get us anywhere.
