Happy 8th, mac!

Anyone else with a stuffy nose? Tree sex or cold?

DW doesn't usually have allergies, but she sure does this year. It was really bad a couple of weeks ago, then stopped for a while, but this morning she was sneezing like crazy. So I vote tree sex.

Amd swamped. Meeting in 10, not prepared for it. Ahrg.

Chicago Bob is coming into town tonight and I haven't really finished cleaning yet. ah well. Good thing he likes me. He's reserved a truck to move here in June! I'm flying out there and we'll be driving it back together. YAY!!! (also yikes)

Woo hoo! I am pretty sure it is time to stop cleaning for Chicago Bob. As a guest, I mean.

Emo Batman! The Mopiest Batman Tattoo You’ll Ever See - Geeky Tattoo

Ever wonder what Batman would look if someone hit him with an emo stick? Well, the particularly-inquisitive three of you who answered in the affirmative are in luck. J.J. sent me an awesome photo and description of her Batman tattoo that are worth one-thousand words.

My Bat is classic Jim Lee-era comic style, blue and grey, long pointy ears. He’s clutching his cape like a security blanket, biting his lip whilst crying, and listening to his iPod on very large audiophile headphones. He is overwhelmingly sad. His parents are gone, and he only has the gadgets (and Alfred) to keep him warm. Sometimes he listens to Dashboard Confessional, and the sobbing just won’t end.

After getting friended by one of my good friends in High School, I have swept through my high school in Facebook with mixed results. I've also realized there are only a handful of people in high school that I really remember well and am really curious about. Mike Reed, a really good friend. Cory Koontz, another good friend. Blake, another good friend. Lisa Cunningham, first girl I every really sort of made out with never formally dated her but was kinda my de facto girlfriend the summer after my senior year. Erik Shutz, a friend I carpooled to school with. Holly Haahr, friend, fellow math club and college bowl member,generally interesting person, first girl who ever kissed me, should have gone out with her but didn't for stupid reasons. Other math club members would be interesting to find as well, but I only remember a couple of them. Only two of them friended right now.

lisah, yikes! How do you deal with something like that??? (The plumbing, not the move.)

I think she called her homeowner's insurance and I don't know if they arranged it or not but there is a company that deals in cleaning up such home disasters that came and was sucking out water from the house for hours and hours. She's staying in a hotel. I don't know if the insurance pays for it all or what.

Woo hoo! I am pretty sure it is time to stop cleaning for Chicago Bob. As a guest, I mean.

haha, yeah, but really it's that I hadn't done any cleaning (other than the unavoidable dishes, litterboxes) since friends were staying with me a couple of weeks ago. And he is allergic to the cats so the least I can do is vacuum!

Ahahaha! Cry more, emo superhero.

The Batman cake, however, is AWESOME. In a totally WTF, buttercream-frosting way.

The Batcake is pretty awesome.
