Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I had to skip, people. Do you know how long it's been since I had to skip? Working sucks!

Actually, working is not too bad, though the lack of internet is killing me. I could live without livejournal or (even) you guys, but they also block all webmail. ARGH. I will need to acquire a new fancy phone or something at some point.

How are other people's new jobs? Did I miss anything big?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I'm not even remotely surprised that Noah has itsy bitsy trash truck songs. He also has itsy bitsy Kuma songs, itsy bitsy Lori songs and munchie munchie Noah songs.

He's a kid who likes a song.

I think I too need a new phone as my battery is not holding charges more than 24 hours.

I need to shower and then Go To Bed. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

Also, randomly, has anyone else seen the awesomeness of which line to stand in at the grocery store now with improved data collection?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'll solve the grocery-line problem by placing my order on Harris Teeter's website and have them bring it to my car. The service is supposed to be for busy soccer moms, of course, but it's also helpful for lazy people who don't need to be tempted by random cupcakes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

On further reflection, I don't have pictures of any of the cars I've owned.

Did you really ever own a car at all?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That is seriously awesome. So, don't stand in the express lane? What about self-checkout? I bet self-checkout ends up slower too, due to customer fumbling and bagging and less counter space.

Only knowing cash takes less time doesn't help me because there aren't cash only lanes. If there were, I would use them, because we're all budgeted and envelope system these days and that would be helpful.

I love Noah's itsy bitsy fillinblank songs. I also love the other video, but I am not admitting it. Nope. I never said anything.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have been needing tissue so often now for 3 days that the skin under my nose and on either side is chapped. I am putting on petroleum jelly tonight, all lotions and make-up sting. enough stupid allergies sinus crap. and the medicines not so much really stopping the runny nose.

What possessed me, at 11, to do what HW recc'd and try the heat for 30 minutes? Still going to get a tech in, but I've spent the last 90 feeling up radiators and vacuuming out the one in the master, which was FILTHY.

I've got to be in early. I'm gonna hate the morning.

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

I bet self-checkout ends up slower too, due to customer fumbling and bagging and less counter space.

God, I'm slower in self-checkout, even when there's no line. Just wrangling things so I can use the bag I brought without setting off their theft sensor is a pain in the ass. Don't they know we're trying to be green now?

Ralph's no longer has handles on their paper bags. They say that small change will save a ton of paper. No doubt--paper bags are nigh-useless if I have to carry them in armloads. There's only so much I can move that way. Or I could get paper in plastic. That'll save the environment. ::hugs Baggu tight::
