Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe how tanked my Roomba battery is. After bitching it only got 20 minutes, it now only gets 1 foot from the base. My apartment sucks the life right out of rechargeables. I mean, this can't be typical performance. The market would have tanked.

Now I'm trying to work out which batteries-not-from-Roomba are the right ones.

other than running down the batteries, is the roomba effective? I've pondered getting one.

At last! I finally polished off my Thanksgiving turkey for lunch today, after having it for most of my meals since last Wednesday evening. I suspect fish and steak will figure prominently in my meal plans for the next week.

It works well for me, Austin, in principle. Really cleared up the dust mite reaction I was having, once I scheduled it to run four times a week.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

all the Christmas stuff from the storage room is now in the apartment. good lord but I have a lot. I need to get it all into plastic bins this year, too many boxes as it is now.

I've also re-listed mac's old bike and V-Smile on craigslist, and 2 freebie things on the neighborhood list. Fingers crossed the stuff will have takers/buyers this time.

I think we will go get a tree soon, and possibly a cheapass tree skirt and the aforementioned plastic bins.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I wanted to get one, but then I was afraid it would arrive and be like a plastic decoder ring that looked nifty in the magazine but breaks after a day in real life.

Oh, and Matt, my company had lunch catered yesterday. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes...I'm thinking they got a good deal on an after thanksgiving sale. Of course, I only thought about that after I had lunch. eta: Bastards.

I think the most important way of protecting it (barring airlocking your babies and pets) is to make sure it doesn't eat any cables or fringes when you're not around--it'll tangle with the doohickies. But there are replacement doohickies in the package.

Certainly no sea monkey disappointment for me.

I was thinking of getting a tree, but I remembered I'm going home for Christmas.

We just got a tree! Taz is quite taken aback.

This is the first tree we've had in this house!

What's the name of the device where an episode is filmed in limited locations (maybe just a room or two) and also maybe with limited cast?

This is the first tree we've had in this house!

Yay! We're getting ours this afternoon.
