Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Because books.

Vortex, I haven't gotten that message, but I have logged in and found posts that were there before gone, and people who are supposed to be hidden visible in my feed, and all kinds of wackiness.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The home page has been all kinds of wacky since sometime last night.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

I can't get any apps to work, it's all "cookies are bad! BAD COOKIES!" (I'm roughly paraphrasing), and then a note that there have been NINETY-SIX updates since I last checked (10 minutes ago; unlikely, even with my chatty friends).

It's borked. I will try to ignore it today. TRY.

I am so glad I was able to check b.org today and see beautiful pictures of Nilly in her wedding dress. It makes me all sniffly in a happy way. Nilly's getting married!

Other things I learned today on b.org: Obama's speech is tomorrow so Franny'll watch it from home, although knowing her principal they'll probably show it at school on Weds as well.

Also? Loved the photos of Franny and Noah, Kat. Yay! I need to see you guys WAY more often.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Nilly is going to look more beautiful than ever

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

Those are marvellous pictures. The big day is going to be beautiful.

In ongoing tennis news, I think that Melanie Oudin has used up all the American mojo, and that's why there are no US men in the quarters for the first time ever. It's all her fault. I'm irritated that I switched away from the Federer match and didn't make it back in time. But the Verdasco/Isner one was quite fun.

You know who else I don't get why they interview? Lady Gaga. I have not heard her say anything interesting or un-twee, but it's possible she saves that stuff up for the tail end of the segments, because I rarely last that long. Is her music good? Catchy? Or is she just a personality based on her looks?

I find her music catchy. Good workout music. OK dance music. Not brilliant. Paparazzi NOT good workout or dance music.

Rit Dye question: I'm dyeing onesies black (why I can't find plain solid black onesies remains a MYSTERY). How long should it be stirred and sit in the bath if I'm doing it on the stove? ~30 minutes right?

Around that long, Kat. Um, did you add a packet of forest green Rit? If not, your black onesies will be a reddish-black.
