If that doesn't work, there's always the strategically located basket of treats.

That was going to be my suggestion! at any rate, a stain won't prevent the house from selling. not at all!

This morning my window unit AC started leaking like crazy into the house. Of course I noticed this 20 minutes before I had to leave to take my dog to my friend's house and catch a ride to work before going to Vegas for the weekend. I'm sure it's just that the ac tipped funny or something and it should be easy to fix but I get back in late Saturday evening and the ac is screwed into the window frame so a pain in the ass to shift. grrrrrrrrrrr

I had a seriously stupid dream last night. I was in college doing my final for a some sort of pirate engineering class. The final consisted of building a ship with Legos(tm) and dressing up as a pirate. For some reason the professor, who looked like Neil Patrick Harris, was making doing self body piercings part of my exam but not part of anybody else's.

Then my dream suddenly shifted to a walking around in a stream, but after I was done, I decided to complain about Ricky's exam to the school administrator. The school administrator, who I never actually met, was Professor Mcgonagall although the school was completely unrelated to Hogwarts.

I ended up talking to another professor who looked like the Gimli the Dwarf. He thought that the exam was perfectly fair even though I was singled out for the body piercing.

My dream ended with me pondering why every course I had taken with a professor named Ricky ended up sucking.

Weird.

ION, nobody mention to Tommyrot that there is a Ford Galaxie 500 for sale right down the street from my house.

Gud, what did you have to eat last night?

Awesome! What year?

Lisah! We're both going to be in Vegas tomorrow! Have a good flight!

My house will sell even if there's a stain on the counter, right?

I usually use one of those powered cleaners with bleach (like Ajax or Comet) and scrub really hard to get out stains. Don't do it in nice clothes though.

Awesome! What year?

Dunno, I just saw a 'For Sale' sign in the window. It looks sort of like this one, only not as shiny.

Yikes, Allyson, I saw this in the Metro this morning, about that Market Basket employee- didn't show up for his arraignment yesterday: [link]

That is an awesome dream! Even if Ricky was a tad unfair.

I foolishly decided to take a look at the Pirates of the Caribbean MMORPG last night. (My review: I'm so sleepy now. And so dumb.) Maybe you got the dreams I would have had if I hadn't gotten so obsessed with fighting giant scorpions. There is a quest where you help someone build a ship... although I don't think Legos are involved.

Cool. Galaxie 500s had the vertically-stacked headlights in '65 - '67. In recent years, Galaxies of that vintage have become much more collectible.

You too!!! Call me when you get in! Not sure what I'm doing tomorrow afternoon but 2 of my bandmates are getting tattoos. At the same place the dorky boys went on Biggest Loser last season! (which nobody in the band watches so nobody will appreciate)

The Costumed Kids of Comic-Con - Geeky Curiosity of the Week

The top picture of the boy Batman and boy Robin is so cute.

And these girls are cute:

Me: “So what are you girls supposed to be?” Little girl: “Um, shot in the head.” Me: “Oh, right. Duh.”

Also,

A Stormtrooper with a lightsaber? Oh, kids these days. No respect for canon.

Heh. And the she-Hulk and Hulk baby are... something.
