Okay, on the My First Fail thing, DIY Spider-Man is MADE OF AWESOME. Totally not fail.

are we sure that is not a buffista child.

why am I still up y'all? I am so crazy with boxing things up and doing laundry. I "snuck" down to the laundry after 9 (when the turn off elevator access to the basement and turn off the laundry room lights) to transfer my wash to the dryer. Now I have 3 dryers full that have to go pick up in the morning. But then I lose all track of time on the internets and lose hours when I could have finished vacuuming.

Definitely looks like something Owen would do. Or Leif.

Also remembering Laura's kids and the duct tape.

They're the young generation and they've got something to say.

Hey hey they're the Aussies?

Oh, hell yeah.

Olivia fell asleep in a Carebear costume. I should really take a picture but I don't want to wake her up.

I'm ordering some Aromaleigh samples and watching Bill Mahr.

Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea:
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare,
In history's page let every stage
Advance Australia fair,
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.


Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
 We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands,
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.

What's interesting is there are all these bookcases, and they're full of--books. Hardly a knick-knack to be seen. Just books. Are Americans afraid of books?

I tried to do an interesting knick knack thing with my bookshelves, but I found that I didn't have enough room for books, so I tossed the knicknacks.

WANT I have no cash right now, grrrr.

The Sting. Definitely.

A "vest" is a US tank top, right?

I think of it as a sleeveless sweater, but I think that it can be any sleeveless shirt.

Matthew Gray Gubler tore up his knee and needs multiple surgeries and then Shemar Moore gets hit by a car and breaks his leg. Time to let the women on the show get all the action scenes.

um, does Shemar need someone to give him a sponge bath? If so, I volunteer. I'll even throw in an oil rubdown out of the goodness of my heart.

Now that I think about it, it's probably simplest if you left that to someone local.

billytea, I've listened to the Australian anthem twice in the last two days. Apparently you're all "young and free."

It's all true. Incidentally, when we actually adopted this as our anthem (not until the early 80s did we replace "God Save The Queen"), both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition wanted Waltzing Matilda.

It's a shame you guys didn't get an anthem about a criminal who commits suicide rather than give up and becomes a ghost.
