Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oy. An eighth-grade girl in the town where I grew up sent a naked picture of herself to someone, and it started circulating around the whole middle/high school. The town police came to the school and warned that anyone who doesn't delete the picture by Wednesday may face prosecution for possession of child porn. Somehow, the Associated Press picked up this story.

Well, at least they're not prosecuting her for production of child porn, like I've heard some other places have done in similar situations.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did know someone who grew up in Vacaville, and wrote a song about getting the fuck out of there, so.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Still have not started my taxes.

Still waiting for something from my sister. I could do some of it before I get the thing, but I don't seem to have done/be doing that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

True to form, my father waited until two weeks after I'd gotten my refund to send me my last bit of tax information. (Fortunately I doubt the whopping extra $14 in dividends this year is going to affect anything. If the IRS really wants to come after me, they can talk to my dad.)

I spent the day over at L's. Round about 4, we decided to hide the eggs for the kids. It was very successful and nice to just hang out with them and another couple (who turn out to live only a few blocks from the new place.)

I came home and packed the three boxes from L.

I'm afraid I am at the what-the-fuck stage of packing. The I-don't-know-how-to-pack-this. The odds and ends stage. The I'm not packing that yet. The HOLY GAWD my apartment is a mess and a hazard and filthy and ACK stage.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I did know someone who grew up in Vacaville, and wrote a song about getting the fuck out of there, so.

Vacaville is one of the teams we beat in Sectionals last year.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I recently learned that Vacaville is named for a guy named Vaca (not, I think, Cabeza de Vaca, but I'm not sure) and not for cows.

Oh snap -- they already moved Kings to Saturdays, as of now. Bummer.

I think the chaos is getting to Devi. She's being especially mean to Loki after weeks and weeks where it was getting better. She nailed him across the nose just now, and she hasn't done that in ages. Poor kitten. Uhg.

So, due to my lack of shows at the moment, I'm watching Dateline. They're talking about something happening in a casino (doesn't matter what), and they show some dramatic blackjack while they talk over it. The only problem is, what they show is someone doubling down on eleven (always double down on eleven!), but the next card they get is an ace. That's the worst! Not at all a lucky deal. I think not what they were going for there.
