Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

“Not dead yet!”

Belated but heartfelt YAY! for auntiehood, GG!

Kitteh! When we got Nate his kitten a couple of years ago, we named him Jack-Jack because we weren't certain what his superpower was going to be. Turns out it's eating. A lot. And chewing through Nintendo DS cables (a dozen or so, at last count) and speaker wire, and a computer steering wheel peripheral, and one MacBook charging cable, for which I read the boy the riot act.

Dane bramaged beast. (The cat not the boy.)

Okay. Need more coffee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm waiting for my friend to come take a walk with me and then dentist and then home! Because there is no electricity in my office today (I found out in a pre-7 am call from my boss). WOOT!

Nice!

I have to say, my bathroom wall troubles were kind of just what the doctor ordered -- I've been wishing for something to keep me home from work, at least a little bit. This is all assuming they can actually fix it tomorrow, which I am not so sure of -- I imagine the damage will be worse than they think, once they open up the walls....

Art Crawl!!!

Congratulations Burrell!

Also, reading congratulations in Natter before reading Press means that it seemed as though Burrell was being congratulated for spending the morning looking up pictures of Christian Bale.

(That's probably a self-rewarding activity.)

I went to my local library's mystery book club last night and came back all excited for my town's Big Read. We're doing To Kill a Mockingbird and there are going to be all sorts of events for the whole month around it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

And that clip was from after David Silver got cool! Or "cool."

I KNOW. Appalling, isn't it?

I watched a lot of streaming 90210 last night. Wow. The fashions were so... did we seriously wear jeans that unflatteringly bad?

Yes.

Trust me, I was shuddering through the pics of the Cabana Boys yesterday-- much in the way of acid wash.

Absolutely. And I still think Katie Holmes looked cute this summer with her jeans pegged, but it really helped that they were neither pleated nor high-waisted!

I had a pleasant surprise while gassing up my wife's car this morning. The price of gas actually went down 10 cents overnight. I never expected that so soon after Ike.

I think our big dog's (named Thor) superpower is fly hunting. Granted he's only caught one, but it was still impressive. I don't know about our smaller dog's (named Fenris) superpower, is being hyper a superpower?

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

Ruby's superpower is driving me nuts.

She's awfully needy this morning.
