Kristin, I think your brain and mine are enjoying margaritas on a beach somewhere. Wish I could join them.

Me, too.

I got a 100% on the Shakespeare and missed 2 on the hairstyles. Based on others here, the 2 I missed should have been correct. I'm sure Elvis had a duck tail in that photo and the marcel and the finger wave are too similar to have been choices for the same question.

I made the brownies for WindSparrow.

I used one less egg, 2/3 cup cheap Mexican vanilla instead of 1-1/2 cups water. 1/2 stick of butter, 1/2 package American Neufchâtel cream cheese, and 1/2 package of York branded Peppermint Pattie chips.

Oh, and I used one box of "Pillsbury™ Moist Supreme® Premium Cake Mix, Butter Recipe Chocolate with Artificial Butter Flavor and 1 CUP of PUDDING in the mix for EXTRA MOIST CAKE!"

I'm like that with pretty much everything.

I feel bad and dread dealing iwth it and so I put it off, and then it gets worse and so I put it off. It's not the library books themselves, or even the librarians, it's just my own weird avoidance issues.

God, this. Yes. It is Very Fucked Up, and difficult to explain to non-insane people when I fail to manage the avoidywoidy stuff, and the snowball snowballs just the way I knew it would. Because, yes, the answer is clearly 'just pull yourself together and get the fuck on with it', but Captain Logic has been booted off the tugboat entirely. (I suspect that depression may work in a similar, paralyzing, common-sense-defying way? Possibly?)

I love Captain Logic and his tugboat. I just had to say.

Yes.

Oh... ugh. This has not been a Good Day. (Perhaps not as bad as meara's-- sorry about your hard drive) but something I had for lunch had me feeling vaguely bad most of the afternoon until it finally culminated this evening when I was so violently ill, I pulled something in my back.

This week can be over now, kthnxbye

Oh Barb! I'm so sorry. Gentle hairpats for you.

And meara, I said over in LJ land, but I'll say here too that I'm very sorry for your hard drive loss. So upsetting and so frustrating!

meara, so sorry for your hard drive loss. That is such a frustrating, annoying, upsetting experience.

Barb, hugs, get well ~ma and hairpats for you.

IOmemeN: Dear Tropical Storm Fay, You have spent almost a week here in Florida. Vacation is over. Time for you to go away. As the saying goes fish and company start to smell after 3 days. So, dear storm, you STINK! kthnxbye

I am alive. Yesterday was a hell start, but an ok end. Show looks great, but tech is ungodly slow right now. Which gave me a chance to catch up. If only the wi-fi router kept working. Tons of drop outs. Oh well. Dunno what else to say.

all around

Ohio librarians eat patron livers all year round.

That's only because they are paid so poorly that they can't afford their groceries without a little supplementation.

Thank goodness Daytime Running Lights are slowly taking over as the older cars are winnowed out by entropy.

Just think, sometime in the next five years or so, there should be some that are old and cheap enough for us to afford one.

I made the brownies for WindSparrow.

And they were yummy. Have I mentioned lately that I have the world's best boyfriend?

when I was so violently ill, I pulled something in my back.

Criminy, Barb. I hope you feel better soon.
