mac just broke out with the news that he would be ok moving to Texas after this year of school. ummm, not sure I am, but it would be good for a number of reasons. I guess we have to keep talking about it and see how the economy goes.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Trust my rage
Ellie cried when we sang to her at her 3rd birthday. Thankfully, the cake fixed the problem. Then, on her 4th, she grabbed the candles just after we blew them out, burned herself, and cried. That was also fixed with cake.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IME, cake can solve just about anything.
Happy birthday, Matilda!!!

It was a really good cake from Schubert's, one of those old timey neighborhood bakeries that's actually super tasty and delicious.
Matilda is happily playing with her new Groovy Girl items, Nihao Kai Lan playset and fancy china tea set.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, P-C, you're adorable, but Matilda remains resolutely shy. She is very firmly opposed to talking to anyone at all on the telephone right now (also absorbed in studying the My Little Pony library her daycare provider gave her, and stacking the books in Tolee's Treehouse).
Ugh. My dad, who knows my feelings about feminism and gender and innate differences but thinks I'm adorably earnest but ignorant in the ways of the Real World with all its snips'n'snails and sugar'n'spice children, got her a hot pink fairy-decorated Glitter Girl lip gloss and body glitter mini-suitcase. Bleargh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You can tell Matilda her Super High-Powered Electronic Drum Kit is is the mail.
OK, maybe don't tell her that, because it's not true.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's very warm here today--still in the high 80s and with no breeze to speak of, which means it's close to 80 in my apartment.
Do not want.

This is cool - every issue of Life magazine from 1936 to 1972 has been put online by Google....
I'm excited to announce that starting today, visitors to Google Books will be able to search and browse even more magazines on Google Books. We've partnered with Life Inc. to digitize LIFE Magazine's entire run as a weekly: over 1,860 issues, covering the years from 1936 to 1972. Most of us are familiar with the term "American Century," but chances are few of us have been able to read Henry Luce's defining editorial in its original context, a 1941 issue of LIFE. You'll be able to find and read Leonard McCombe’s iconic cover and photo essay on a Texas Cowboy and Richard Meryman's famous last interview with Marilyn Monroe. You can find a 1968 cover story on Georgia O'Keeffe (which you may want to read if you're visiting the Whitney Museum anytime soon).

Cool beans! There's a piece on Francoise Sagan that I've always wanted to read, as well as a classic "Here Are the Beats of San Francisco!"
