Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Sometimes they kind of look dead. [ETA: the puppies] But real dogs are like that too when they're that kind of crashed out relaxed. Sometimes you have to poke them just to be sure.

(Oh god, I just remembered this. A few nights ago, Lucy was lying with her back leg (singular) tucked up underneath her so you couldn't see it and I totally kicked her to make her move because it freaked me out so much. I don't even feel bad about it.)

Noah? Grubby? Unpossible.

ita, I hate to tell you this, but you mostly have seen him clean. I mean, he's a little messy. But I picked him up at daycare and went to see folks and he was all super dirty from that. Just holding him made my white shirt not so clean and it wasn't even a shoe issue.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Breaking news: The Big Giant Hand just came into the puppy pile. Very fourth-wall-ish. Now, mass puppy-wrestling.

Only one now!

Also, if you haven't seen Steven Colbert work out who the next president will be via word association, you really really should.

(Also also: in the middle of it he calls himself Colber t with a hard T. Don't think I've ever seen him do that before.)
