huh, just went and checked my email and when mac was "looking at stuff" on Amazon today, he ordered over $300 worth of pokemon stuff. I've been able to already cancel all but one item. FUCKING FUCK FUCK, he totally knew exactly what he was doing. no computer for him for a while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
bon, I hope you're healed up for San Diego.
Kat, speaking of things you are doing, Colin is going to be at the Winter Olympics too. Not at your event, though, I don't think.
He's going on NBC Universal's dime, the bastard. They're even kitting him out.
I don't get how someone could put this up as "beauty of the day". It has to be a photoshop job.
eta: msbelle, damn. I hope you can cancel or return the last bit too.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, msbelle, damn. I'd be livid (and also stunned that a kid his age could navigate through the purchase process). Damn damn damn.

Oh msbelle, that's gotta suck. Time to password protect and sit over his shoulder during computer time, alas. My friend had some sort of monitoring/blocking system set up when her stepson was doing online classes. If you want, I can find out what that was.

Well, yay! I doubt I'll see Colin and then I think, would he remember me out of context anyway?
Oh msbelle, that sucks in a big giant way. I'm sorry.
I had half of the academic decathlon today and I had kids I've taught on three different teams all competing. It was a little odd.

I would be, but the now 10 year old stunned me back when she was 3 with her mad web navigation skills. Brave new world and all that shit.

If you've got one-click set up it's not that complicated.

Didn't Connie's cat order a gun once?

Yes, he did. Hubby had set up one-click shopping at the one site, Amon hit the Back button in the right combination, and voila, a new gun. Fortunately we were able to keep him from buying a yacht.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
the spiced tea (chai)
I make desi chai with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom (and I've tried it both with ginger and with black pepper), but it only really tastes like the stuff you get from the chai-wallah when it is made with buffalo milk.
