I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Ack! Got a nice new toilet seat, but the old one won't come off. First off, the bolts have to be released from underneath, secondly, there's two inches of room to work in on either side, thirdly, the washers holding the bolts are plastic that are soft enough to not hold their shape when I take the wrench to them (and therefore no gripping or turning-ness) but hard enough that the hacksaw isn't a viable option.

Drill through the top like I'm popping the head off a screw, or blowtorch from below?

Neighbor is an option, but it took him a month and a half to finally walk across the driveway to do a two minute job, so I won't be holding my breath.

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

60 gallon sized ziploc bags, all used up. Here's part of why: [link]

All our washed clothes are in bags. Mac has a shirt with a pair of socks and a pair of underwear, then pants are in a separate bag. I have a dress or skirt/top or pant/top in with a pair of underwear. I think I'll be going through a new box each week until treatments are over. I could never be a real germphobic OCD person, I have WAY too much stuff.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Kat!

Home now. Tired.

Our wings are not tired.

Damn. For once I take the time to actually write a lengthy post about this lovely weekend, and the computer ate it. Oh, well.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Woot, woot, Java (regarding the NO MORE STUDYING).

You were at Taming of the Shrew, right? Another friend of mine, from high school, was also there. You both posted FB status's at the same time about it. Felt like worlds colliding.

Suzi! Cool! Yup, my friend Mary met up with Consuela and her friend E and saw the Women's Will production. It was awesome. SFistas, it's playing in SF over the next couple of weekends, at various parks. It's free and it's great.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy birthday Kat!

We had a day today. Isaac must not be feeling well because he was a pill and a half all day long. Still, I am in awe of msbelle and her ability to kick it into high gear.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

I'm just thankful that only the guys who can pull off a 300 outfit at cons seem inclined to try.

BWAH? Me to go next year, yes?

Matt, we're so road-tripping Comicon next year. NO ARGUING.

I think you two should.

Man, I hope we go to ComicCon next year. This year was a blast.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You guys! I have never been so glad to be not quite home in my life! The SO called me while I was still slounging around the airport in Indianapolis, wanting me to look up intellicast because he was driving into a big ol' lightning storm and wanted to know how big it was.

Pretty freaking big turned out to be the answer, which I know because many hours later, I flew through it. That was the most turbulence I've ever experienced, including on little planes, and this was a reasonably sized Airbus.

But! It was a perfect landing nonetheless, so I am grateful and happy, if a little queasy, and super glad to be in Albuquerque. Home & back to work tomorrow, so I'd better crash out now, but whew! I've got that whole "Isn't it great to be alive!" thing going on.
