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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A date with a boy I met off OK Cupid. Dinner and possible dancing, possibly meeting up with his friends. Eek.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
It's a real problem Steph. Parents stuff a couple of them in there at once and suddenly the whole system comes to a halt.

Sheesh, these newfangled pneumatic tubeways sure are a lot of trouble! Best just to wait for flying cars. I hear they'll be along any day now.
Unrelatedly, we have gone to Up For Grabs Day, where The Boy got a fully functional, barely used flatscreen monitor. Nice.
And I think I may nap before Mexican and bowling.

I go in flying tubes! Oh, wait. Airplanes. Similar. Different.
I am at the library, learning about how to set up and run a nonprofit. Which is to say, ALL DIFFERENT from how my current group has been doing it the past couple years. Sigh.

Also, it turns out xkcd had it all wrong and we can stop worrying about the rovers because THEY ARE PERFECTLY HAPPY ON MARS.
