You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

The spa won't answer their phone and I can't find all my FSA docs.

At first I was all confused, thinking, "WHOA! msbelle's FSA covers mani/pedi?! Nice!"

Went to Target ta 7:00 this AM and I still forgot to buy Noah a new toothbrush. What is it about Target that turns me stupid(er)?

Now, Noah's in his crib chanting, "MAMA! MAMA! MAMA! MAMA! MAMA!" Seriously.

I was not about to brave Target today. Michaels and Home Depot were pretty empty.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What kind of bar closes at 8:30 PM? The H R Giger Bar.

(It's part of a museum. Or the museum is part of the bar. Or the set of everything contained in the bar is equal to the set of everything contained in the museum.)

Yeah, but you can start drinking at 10am.

Sheesh, there's a cocktail blog on the NYTimes website and after a post about the growth of the cocktail scene across the country there are three kinds of responses: (1) "Way to glorify addiction! Soon you'll be chugging aftershave in a Motel 6!"; (2) "Beer's good enough for me."; and (3) "Anybody that doesn't drink single malt Scotch is a pussy."

My guess is that woman is just offended by atheists in general.

Oooh, can agnostics offend her too? I'd like a piece of that action.

No offense for you, fence-sitter!

(Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. Or I did, but just a little.)

“Not dead yet!”

mac got Mario Kart for Christmas (along with some Pokemon, Mario & Sonic Olympics, and a spelling game). He also wants Super Mario Bros, Sonic unleashed, and Pokemon Rangers Shadows

Well, any and all Pokemon games/information/whatever, you can pick Abby's brain, since she is a font of knowledge of Pokemon.

Oh, and favorite moment from yesterday? Abby opening up her DC Comics Encyclopedia and exclaiming, "Holy DC Comics Extravaganza, Batman!"

I'm so proud!

The last 2 days have been busy and therefore exhaustion-making for me, since I'm still gastrointestinally fragile. Good times with all our families, to be sure, but Xmas Eve and Day went very very very late, while I wrestled with queasiness to the power of 10. Feeling like you're going to ralph on your boyfriend's mother takes a little enjoyment out of the festivities.

Still, all was very good, if a little too busy and rushed. We didn't really get to spend any quiet holiday time with each other in all the ruckus, but hastily exchanged gifts before running out the door to one more family gathering.

My dad gave us (in addition to some small, very thoughtfully chosen gifts) a sum of money so large that I'm *deeply* uncomfortable accepting it. But he repeated several times that he wanted to do it, he planned for it all year, and it makes him happy to do it. But, oh my god. So, since we put new (ridiculously expensive) gutters on the house this year, we're going to throw a chunk of money at the remainder of that bill.

(Please understand, this is not a diamond-shoes-too-tight thing, like do I drive the Ferrari tonight or the Lamborgini? My dad's income is limited, and all I can think of is practicalities, like he should build a nest egg for himself if his cardiac health suddenly goes downhill. I worry about him, and then when he is so generous, I just hope it's not at his own expense.)

Plus I got Iron Man -- the extended version DVD with extras. So that's awesome.
