Much nothing~ma to you, Kate.

Work's kept me hopping the last couple of days. After two weeks where not much happened here, I'm kinda glad things are picking back up.

Amazon seems to think they're called "transaction registers," which I'm fairly sure I would not have come up with on my own, but mostly wants to sell me ones for people with vision problems. Hmm.

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

I can think of one thing I've heard of people bleaching, and if it's that ... Ew.

Well, definite ew. Word on the street was that Lara Flynn Boyle bleached her anus for Jack's viewing pleasure while they were together.

I saw her in a store once, and the two thoughts going through my head were "You're TEENY" and "Ow!"

People, where are you? Two o'clock meeting! You suck without me there. Sheesh.

ita, EW.

I had hoped not to learn that.

In other news, the Prop 8 case just got kicked back to the California Supreme Court by the Ninth Circuit on a question of standing. To wit: if the state government refuses to defend the proposition, do the proponents of the proposition (i.e., the homophobes) have standing to defend it from being overturned?

If the CA Supremes say "no," Prop 8 stays overturned, because it's a question of state law. If they say, "yes," then it goes back to the Ninth Circuit and will eventually end up at the Supreme Court. Where I don't want to think what Justice Scalia will do, because he apparently thinks the 14th Amendment doesn't prohibit gender discrimination.

Oh, I kinda sent them the wrong con call number.

I SUCK.

I had hoped not to learn that.

I live to share.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

that makes as much sense as vajazzling, but with more potential for serious burns.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Kate, if you google checkbook register blank, you get a lot of free printable ones, or you could go with something like this [link]

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

My husband should be getting a job offer e-mailed in a couple of hours. YAY.

Ah, thanks, Perkins! I may just go with the free printable ones.

Not looking at the disturbing talk about bleaching.
