Fuck, I'm pissed. I've talked to him literally every day for the last month about this stuff, and instead of catching up he slacks off worse.

It sounds like a pretty standard rebellion pattern (as seen in our nephew at times) control thing. I know you've got the co-parenting complication, but are you able to tell him something along the lines of, "Look, I'm going to talk with you about this once, but it's your career here not mine, and you need to be the one to decide what to do. Here's what you've got coming for your workload. You can choose to do it or not do it, but if you choose the latter, then these are the consequences [list of consequences, including loss of DS]." and then see what happens? It's worked for my sis-in-law.

Ugh. Jonah Hex doesn't look like the comics. I know Jezebel is all Megan Fox rah rah rah, but I don't get her inherent value onscreen, and she really doesn't look like she's doing much for this movie.

I think the thing to do with the Scrabble flooring would be to make sure none of it spells anything in any direction, except for in one spot. Where there should be a string of obscenities.

Some people I knew had a coffee table that was a Scrabble game under glass that spelled out the names of pretty much the whole neighborhood social circle. Was pretty cool, and I could totally picture a Buffista version.

Hey, if anyone has an interest in tiebreaking a Supernatural S4 quote deathmatch, we're stalled in round 2 here: ita "Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?" Jun 7, 2010 3:14:25 pm PDT. An odd number of voters would be highly appreciated, especially if you have the correct refined sense of humour.

Replies to things you all were talking about hours ago! (yay wacky timezones)

Scary underwater creatures? No thank you. I like swimming in completely ignorant bliss. My favorite place to swim is definitely the ocean; I love the waves.

I also don't particularly love baths, but I would love to take one one of these days just because I can't. Our shower is... well, it's basically a showerhead on the bathroom wall with a drain in the floor. I'd kill for a bathtub - at the very least just to keep the water from getting EVERYWHERE.

I also fully support sci-fi names for children, but I guess there's a fine line between awesome and just ridiculous when it comes to names, I think. But in all honesty, most of the names I really like for potential future children are names I heard on TV, and I always wonder that if I were to name a kid one of these things, would I own up to having gotten it from a TV show?

ALSO, The Glee finale is downloading slower than molasses and I am not alright with this. I like to pretend I'm at least decently in the loop, and this will not be possible if it in fact takes 23 hours to download!

especially if you have the correct refined sense of humour.

By which we mean garrison. (Huh, Firefox Britpicks. I didn't notice the extra u until it did.)

Strega can be my wingman design my Scrabble floor anytime.

OMG, there is SO MUCH CREEPY in the the ocean! I can't just swim in it. I can't learn to surf either. Because of the sharks.

Okay, I can scuba dive. But then I have a good chance to actually see whatever is going to freak me out or try and chomp me.

And I can dive in fewer and fewer places. All sharks need to either have catfish faces (nurse sharks) or be small enough that they will only take smallish nibbles (Hawaii staying very near shore).

Gah! Sharks! Icky, man. I mean, I fully support them being the top of the food chain in the ocean. I just would rather not be the bottom of said chain.

I showed J the floor and now we're talking about making a backsplash behind the bathroom sink out of Scrabble tiles. Because of the awesomeness.

Finally caught up! Then I forgot what I was going to post.

Well, I remember one thing. I commented on a friend's facebook status and got a real chill up my spine. The other person who commented is an old ex-the one that literally broke me when he dumped me.

I sure hope he doesn't try to friend me. It still hurts after all this time and I'm still taking the anti-depressants.
