The Girl is watching Ireland playing... someone at rugby. She keeps shouting "No!" so I'm guessing Ireland is losing. She's also giving advice to the team. "Don't kick it - pass it - come on - hurray." Is this normal, or should I worry? (She has just come in and informed me that it's England who are playing, and she's temporarily supporting them against Wales. This may be unprecedented.)

Anthony Head in 'Six Degrees' would have been amazing, were it not for the miserable elitist bastards that treated me like a small child all the way through and ruined the experience. Ah, the British theatre-going elite.

P-C, that sounds like your landlord's trying to get out of his maintenance responsibilities. I've lived in a few places with landlords who refuse to take their responsibilities seriously (most recently, an extremely dangerous oven that took them nearly a year to replace, and then an inaccessible front door), and I'm learning that they often get spooked (and give in) when you throw your legal rights at them. Is there any way you can get legal advice here?

Is no fair. I want to be able to have shower sex. (Although accessible bathrooms in hotels are lovely things. I'm just sayin'.)

On the subject of shower sex, I'll note I was in Good Vibrations the other day and had special wall mounts for the shower so you could get a foothold.

I trip over lint. Which is to say, I'm not very graceful, and I think that shower sex is just not the safest thing for me to be partaking in.

I mean, there's a reason my boyfriend ties me down for sex. It's safety, yo.

I'm going to call the Consumer Affairs department to confirm. I mean, I already pointed him to the website that listed all my rights and his responsibilities, and he still thought it was my responsibility, so I'm not sure what would convince him.

Is this normal, or should I worry?

Normal.

WS, let's chat over email about cat food stuff.

~ma to them as needs it.

Kitty ate some food this morning. Yay!

Debating lazy vs. productive. So far lazy winning. Unless you count cleaning off DVR and being kitty heating pad as productive.

Anyone else have the OKC app on their iPhone? It shows me as always online when my phone is on, and I can't find the settings to change it.

Oh, lazy is totally winning in this household. It's been snowing for 30 hours, it's cold, the cats are asleep, and I believe I'll take a nap.

I don't want to work today. Must. Blargh.

Library sex sounds hot. Books in the shower while having sex sounds pulpy, and bad for the books.

P-C, what was the clog made of? How long have you been in the apt? If short time, I would argue that there wasn't enough time for a gent with short hair and no gf to clog the drain that far down.

Unless the book in question is Cradle to Cradle by William McDonough, which is printed on plastic instead of paper. [link] But you'd have to be a bigger ecofreak than even I for that book to get you hot.

The problem with shower sex is that it's very difficult for one person to stay warm. Especially if that person is significantly shorter.

Clearly you need a dual shower head system, with one on each end of the tub. Surround Water technology.
