And he went to Florida because there's no income tax. So, as long as he doesn't buy an expensive house and get hit with their property taxes, he should be fine. @@

I did not know that about Florida! Huh.

And he became friends with two guys on the Miami team during the Olympics.

In other news, the vitamix makes awesome Bellinis and amazing smoothies. Things are SCARY smooth -- like I blended chicken, brown rice, fruit with skin and it was completely entirely integrated and chunkless.

We t heart the Vitamix.

The Heat can potentially get him a ring too. That matters. I say from the painful depth of my Suns-loving broken soul.

Next year, P and I are going to try and be Blazers fans! It's very exciting. I think her man wants to marry me. She's never shown an interest and now I have her willing to both watch and even go to games.

My ebay auctions are a bit of a mess. I've been changing my email addresses everywhere since I am losing earthlink as an internet provider. So I changed my info on paypal, but I did it AFTER these listings were up and I didn't realize it couldn't be updated once a bid is placed. SO buyers are checking out in the ebay/paypal integrated thing before I can send them a note saying to change the email address and paypal payments are sitting there on an account that doesn't so much exist anymore. I've emailed them all and I think found a way to fix things where they do not have to pay me outside of the ebay protected system.

Took me forever, but I'm glad I went with a mobile email finally.

Pickles pickled, salami sliced.

It finally got cool enough that I turned off the ac, opened the windows and cranked up the fans. Won't last, but it is lovely air inside right now.

I've got the windows open as well. Only one fan, currently blowing on us both...very nice.

So Matilda has been in the mood to watch superhero cartoons today.

We watched lots of classic 40s Fleischer animated Superman cartoons this morning. And every time the bad guys blew up a bridge (roughly every episode), Matilda would yelp out, "Oh no! I liked that bridge."

So this evening we're watching Teen Titans and another bridge got blown up.

Matilda: "Oh! I liked that bridge."
JZ: "I didn't know you had such strong opinions about bridges."
Matilda: "I do. Unicorns too."

Also, he made ESPN give him a cheesy, embarrassing one-hour special to say that he is going there which is viewed by many as a Nail in Journalism's Coffin.(TM) Finished watching Treme...still in love.

I am finally watching the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon in order, instead of just picking it up when it was aired. Not in order to compare it to the movie, unless I do a buy and duck. And I'm kind of old for those these days.
