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

Anybody else tempted to get a Verizon mifi?

Yes! Not that I really need it regularly, but it's so cool and would be very handy on occasion.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, one of my pairs of shoes on eBay had four people watching, and none of them bid on it! Hmph.

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

Ha! Matilda has cracked the top 1000 for the first time since 1964, at #829. We're totally bleeding edge!

Emmett's up to 549.

This whole Aiden/Jaden/Paden/Kaden trend is a generational naming disaster.

And who would name their daughter Ximena or Jazlyn? One sounds like a skin condition and the other sounds like an 80s cartoon.

"On the next Jazlyn and the Dazzlers, Jaz comes down with a horrible case of ximena...."

Ximena is actually a bona fide hispanic name.

It's fascinating, every time I post the name lists for Casper's classmates, someone goes "X name? WTF?" and it's always a real Latino name.

Oh, David, we would love to see you and Emmett! I didn't know you had an Aunt Edna in town. Here's the standard Athens Music Scene tour, I am told: [link]

Not in Athens proper but somewhere in the vicinity. My grandfather's farm was close to Athens, and my Mom was the only one to move more than ten miles away.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My niece named her daughter Jazlyn. No good way around it.

I'm working with a customer named Roni. I'm calling her "rice a roni" in my head, but I'm sure it's pronounced Ronnie. Which is not the way it's spelled.

SYTYCD (which I saw a promo for this week YAY!)

Ooooh! Yay!! Can't wait!!

That's one show where I will even sometimes watch the tryouts, because they do tend to in addition to the painful things (which I will fast forward through) sometimes have really awesome people who are just not right for the show.

And the Vegas-or-wherever tryouts are SO COOL.

If she's young enough, she could be named after the Bobby Brown song.
