Woe to the fucking wicked.

The last of the laundry is in the washer now. However, there are a couple folded piles on the drier, and nothing's been hung, and the bed needs to be made, and, and, and

I will admit that there was clean laundry in one of the baskets from before Xmas that I had to fild and put away before I could gather up my dirty laundry.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Happily, I can't do laundry when Matt is working in the garage.

So, for the moment I am ignoring everything else I have to do

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

We have a new doggy!

We're goin' to Petco, baby! Must buy toys and treats!

Laundry happened yesterday. Today I went out and bought shoes (I need to take my fluevogs into the cobbler to get the the heel reattached and I noticed cracks in the heel posts of the other standby, so.) I ended up getting 2 pairs since both were 50% off the ticket price. Grand total of $65. Not as fun as my fluevogs, but now I have backups.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Congrats, KRM and Kristen!

I want to shoot all the people in the eHarmony ads. I'm at that point.

TiVo grabbed a "is the Bermuda Triangle a black hole?" program off the History Channel. Not only does NASA deny that assertion, they deny there's a Bermuda Triangle. Government conspiracy?

Ah, well. It was a dumb and sensationalistic assertion at best.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yay doggie! Picturespicturespictures!

Yay Puppy.

In sad pet news, my mom called me earlier in the week and told me that my sister's youngest Golden Retriever had to have surgery to remove some object from it's belly (total count: two trouser socks, part of a dishcloth and a discount card from a clothing store.) What she forgot to tell me is that my sister also had to have one her cats put to sleep on the same day. After about a year of not being himself, his kidneys failed. I felt badly when I was talking to my sister last night and she mentioned the cat, and I had no idea.

Whenever I happen across that, being presented by the History Channel as if it's real science, my eyes start rolling like slots in a Vegas double jackpot machine. If they want a show about black holes, why not do a documentary presentation with Stephen Hawking or Neil deGrasse Tyson or someone else who actually knows how they work and can explain it to laymen? There's all kinds of interesting stuff about time dilation close to an event horizon and other weird effects that are proposed by people who didn't get their credentials out of crackerjack boxes.
