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

I note this for javachick's sake.

As I roused Matilda from bed she snizzled and complained and then cried when JZ left. So I calmed her by pointing out things in the room, and I pointed to the Dave Stewart (old A's pitcher) bobblehead and said, "That's Dave Stewart. He was a great pitcher. See the letter on the hat? That's his team. He's on the A's."

Matilda sniffed and rubbed at her tears and replied "We don't like the blue team." (The Dodgers)

Sorry DXM!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pretty flowers! Everything suddenly blossomed here over weekend, too -- I guess a lot of rain followed by unseasonably warm weather will do that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I am waiting for news. Could be good, could be bad. I just hate the waiting part. Makes me feel slightly crazy. I wish i was in bed, asleep, and then could wake up and the news is there in my email box, without all the painful waiting.

Having a tough time focusing on work. Stupid waiting.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

There are great flowers in KC right now. Everything just popped, and it's wonderful! Dogwoods, redbuds, tulip tress, forsythia, and all of the daffodils, tulips, crocuses...

It's really pretty. It's supposed to be sunny and about 72 on Friday. YAY.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

My office cubical window overlooks a wooded area. A gust of wind just blew up a cloud of pollen so dense it obscured the trees entirely.

I wonder if I could get a respirator delivered to my office before I leave work this afternoon?

Also, I have noticed at OKCupid that there are a ridic number of black men who choose online aliases with "Chocolate" in the name. DrkChclate. ChocolateLvr82. HotChoklet.

REALLY? Also, don't IM me. You have a creepy username.

One time the subway driver gave my friend his card from his side business as a stripper -- Chocolate Thunder. Good times.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Everything just popped

Also the Bradford pears. Gorgeous, but fragile and stinky.

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

I should get a username with "Butterscotch" in it. Or maybe "CafeAuLait." I haven't been on OKC in a while, but I got an email about a match with a guy who said he'd never lost his temper. I...I guess he feels that's a selling point, but I'd just feel weird.

I don't have any good shoulders left. I need a good shoulder, in order to carry my laptop to work. This is annoying.

I think I broke my Excel.
