No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

Yesterday I thought I'd revisit that old game, but instead she fixed me with a deeply serious stare, took my face in both her hands, murmured, "Look at both my eyes, please," and started singing "Trust In Me," Ka's hypnotizing-you-so-I-can-eat-you song from The Jungle Book.

Bwahahahaha!!

BTW, Dylan can now successfully identify Matilda in pictures. If he's looking at her on Flickr and I ask "Who is that?" he'll point and say "Tilda!"

(He still refers to himself as "Baby" but this is due mainly to him being the younger of the 2 Dylans in his daycare.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Nice bike! I have a 24-speed bike, but all those gears scare me and I don't like riding all bent over, so this weekend I have sent DH on a Craig's List hunt for a nice three-speed beach cruiser.

Be very afraid of Matilda--she has designs on you!!

Was your staring contest of days of yore anything like this one?

Punishingly Intricate

I don't like riding all bent over, so this weekend I have sent DH on a Craig's List hunt for a nice three-speed beach cruiser.

My bike has a lot of gears but I finally figured out how to work gears last year so they don't scare me. It's much more upright seating than my current bike which I think I'll like. My hands would get numb/tingly a lot riding my old bike.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Matilda still gets very excited about looking at the pictures from your visit here and will eagerly identify "Baby Dylan!" even in the current pictures where he's obviously Big Giant Boy Dylan. Sometimes she asks when Baby Dylan's going to visit again.

Also, the doll chillin with Dylan in this picture finally has a name, after 2 1/2 years: Baby Carl (named after the baby brother of one of Matilda's daycare classmates).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Saying it here so I don't say it out loud at work: I think it is ridiculous that my boss's doctor gave her a prescription for antibiotics. She has a cold! A bad cold, but a cold.

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

Maybe I can get everything annoying out of the way today!

I've done my bit for annoying task doing!

I've already been to the Dept. of Public Transit to transfer our residential parking permit to the new car, and then the FasTrak offices to get a new transponder ("That's not even a word!") and have it registered to the new car.

Actual annoyance: Minimal. In and out within ten minutes at both places.

Total Cost: $10.00.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What is a transponder and why does your car need one registered to it? Is it one of those fancy city-driving thingamabobs?
