Yay baby Evan Thomas! One of my good friends growing up was an Evan Thomas. :)

Yay Barb date with her hubs. Lovely.

Fingers crossed Drew that your mom gets through surgery OK--sounds like six weeks with lots of nursing care would be really good for her. But ouch ouch ouch nonetheless. Eesh.

If they want me to use their lesson plans, worksheets, quizzes and such, they should just give that to me

Oh! Yeah, no kidding, I thought they were! Have you asked? Would they? They should!

Yay Omnis opening Tommy! I loved being in that when we did it in college, even if our production was pretty ragged. The finale was so kick-ass.

And strength to Sox and Raq that the Mallory-Iris convergence is not wreaking havoc on the DC area!!

Meanwhile, in "Good god, how annoying ARE these people?" news, last night the GILF's partner R was flirting with me (though he tends to be fairly quiet and laid back), and somehow said something along the lines of "well the question's never been asked" (ie I've never asked him to have sex with me). I was like "Sweetie, it's been asked and answered. YOU asked. I answered. MONTHS ago. YOU SAID "Will you have sex with me?" and I said "YES""

And he was like "What??" and tried to deny ever saying anything of the sort. And acted like I was delusional and crazy. I was like "Dude. It was like, February. We were at the Century. You kissed me." And he claims to not remember a damn thing about it.

I'm so annoyed by the whole thing--fine, whatever, you were so fucking drunk you don't even remember it? That's annoying enough. You want to PRETEND you were so drunk you don't remember it? Even more annoying. But to then act like I'm some kind of psycho who's wishfully IMAGINING that you asked me to fuck you? Yeah, GO FUCK YOURSELF. I'm not holding my breath for the last six months, for you OR Grandma, OK? Damn.

Ugh-- oh meara, what a MAROON. Jeebus.

And while the husband date itself was lovely, the being woken up a 5:15 by Jasmine who'd decided it was a grand time to want to be let outside so she could cavort in the sprinklers was not so much with the lovely.

wtf is up with Lynn Johnston? "For Better or For Worse" seems gratuitously cruel today.

I think I read that she's ending the strip soon.

Speaking of questionable journalism: when did Lake Michigan become a sea?

Oh, that's sad, but not beyond things she's done before.

My aunt fell in the shower the morning of her son's wedding this past March. She had surgery the morning of the wedding and was at the wedding doped on pain killers, bless her heart. I've always liked how Lynn Johnston really captures real life.

Poptarts:

Calling JenK or Barb or someone who knows Spanish. What's "Spring Training" in Spanish?

OK, Lynn Johnson isn't ending the strip, she's rebooting it: [link]

[edit: and here's a YouTube interview with her: [link] ]

Eh, better to just end it, I think.
