It's good to hear some positive news from Macworld.
This confused me for a bit....
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

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

Coding and Sleeping
It looks the weather will end up wiping out soccer games this weekend. This will be the forth canceled for my daughter's team and the fifth in a row for my son's team. Damn.
Today my daughter's class can wear their PJs an bring a pillow and blanket to class where they are going to have a long block of reading time, a read-in if you will. It's to celebrate the end of their state testing. Naturally, she's bringing an Artemis Fowl book.
My son's class is having a talent show and he's going to do magic tricks. It's so freaking cute. He also has just got hooked on Harry Potter and will probably finish the first book this weekend. He's been told he can watch the movie after reading the book, but I don't think that is much of a motivation for him.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
quick question: when one has hired pros for a business move do the movers get tipped?

I was just talking about my dishes with a co-worker and when I went to send her a link to some pictures of the set, I found out that the entire company in NY state shut down in January, most likely due to the economy. Damn. Now I have to be doubly sure to not break anything!

The proper business etiquette requires you to say to the head mover, "Who would get the Tip of Death must answer me these questions three..." and then ask him three questions.
No really, that's what you're supposed to do.

I want to do this today. Although given my allergy-medication-induced spacey-ness, I should probably bring Goodnight Moon or maybe The Little Golden Book of Medically Induced Hallucinations.

KathyA, do you know about Replacements? [link] Keep watch there if you need to fill-in (you can also set it up so they'll email you when they get new pieces of your pattern).

The Little Golden Book of Medically Induced Hallucinations.
Heh. Wonkette has a similar running gag, except they'd call that book A Children's Treasury of Medically Induced Hallucinations.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure you always tip movers, Aims.

Yay mac and knittingness!
And nope, not too late, but my trunk and back seat are full! After bank (OMGWTFCHECK) I dumped stuff off at Goodwill, called my broker and agent to let them know I had the check from the Target parking lot, went in and bought a 3 step stepladder, rolling clothes rack, catlitter for both places (need it here NOW,) a broom an flipflops (I needed a pair) and then hit Petco for a new litterbox and miracle crap (thought about moving one of those here, imagined the logistics, quailed.) Stopped at Panera for a spinach and bacon soufflé and now I'm home, about to leave again.
