Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I cleaned a bit more of my apartment. Still a mess, but I can see where there used to be stuff and there's now clear floor or table.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Kat, according to my mom, I threw up every year when the time changed. Until I was ten. I did not throw up at any other time of the year.

That's... kind of awesome.

Times changes SUCK for toddlers who simply don't get it.

This is less so.

24 or 25 sounds about right - I think my first year at McGill I was below the cutoff and after that it was a lot easier to support myself without needing help from my folks.

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

mac seemed not to even notice. I fear the lost hour of sleep will hit him tomorrow. I neglected to give him some medicine 2 nights in a row, but it isn't the one that should be taken everyday for consistency of dosage, so I think it is no big deal and may even be a good thing since it is the big gun rage controlling med and he has done fine without it for 2 nights.

and that thing I said before wrt bed, yeah, this time I really mean it. goodnight.

Peter Graves is dead.

Does anyone else remember Whiplash, in which Peter Graves is an American running a stagecoach business in frontier Australia?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Speaking of meds, I took my Ambien a little bit ago, and started playing sudoku. Before the Ambien started to kick in, sudoku was just a number puzzle. And now that the drugs have kicked in (and, oh, they HAVE), sudoku has turned into a scenario where I have to chaperone and cat-herd a bunch of unruly adolescent numbers into their cabins at summer camp.

I have NO idea where that came from. And yet, 8 is an unruly bastard and I can never find where 6 went.

I'd blame the time change on my headache, but Sunday headaches seem to be a regular occurabce these last few weeks. Do not want!!

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

Man, that Ambien sounds like a awesome trip.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Consuela, you'll pleased to know that Matilda did the six foot rock climbing wall at the playground four times. She only needed a little spotting from me.

My prior complaint was unwarranted. Had a very easy day out with Matilda and Emmett in the East Bay.

We got over there early and stopped by Target. I ran in and got Matilda overnight diapers (she's done with daytime) and got her a Princess Tiana doll and Emmett some Legos (small cheap set). They were both way pleased with their $10 presents.

Dropped Emmett at practice. Matilda hit the playground hard for an hour, and then contentedly climbed in the stands while we watched batting practice.

Then we took Emmett to do his interview, and Matilda and I poked around at B&N until he was done.

I also slipped a quick grocery run in.

So I'm a little wiped but the only tsurris was waking Matilda up when we got back home.
