I think the Princess Bride quote I use the most is "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

The question is: accent or no accent?

Depends on if I say it out loud (no accent) or am typing it or thinking it (accent).

IcompletelyON, I went clothes shopping yesterday for the first time since the surgery. Turns out the store is cleaning out its winter clothes in preparation for the spring delivery, so they don't have a lot of stuff available, especially not in the larger sizes which have been picked over. I tried on five pairs of pants and only bought one, a pair of khakis that unfortunately had a bit of spandex in them, so even though they fit fine in the butt and waist, they are glued to my calves and thighs. I think I'll wait a week or two before wearing them to work.

Good thing is that they're a size 30/32. I'm currently wearing a very baggy pair of size 34/36 jeans.

The question is: accent or no accent?

Always with an accent - out loud or in my head.

Until I downloaded Bejeweled.

Uh-oh. I used to love Bejeweled on my, um, what was that thing called? PDA! Now that I know it's available for the iPod touch, I am doomed.

It has 3 variations -- the timed one, the "classic" one (where you play until there are no more moves you can make), and one called "endless" (where, as the name implies, it just keeps going on and on -- it isn't timed, and you never run out of moves).

The "endless" version sounded silly -- what's the point, if I can't win by beating my best time??? -- until I started with the BAD insomnia (probably from increasing my Wellbutrin dose, woo). Then I realized I didn't have to get out of bed to find something to occupy my wide-awake mind; I could grab the iPod Touch, dim the screen way down (not that Tim would wake up anyway; he sleeps through anything), and just keep playing Bejeweled without getting out of the warm snuggly bed. When I'm playing against the clock I get all tense, but the endless version is kind of soothing.

I also might check out this "Angry Birds" thing the kids are into....

too late Steph. I am playing Angry Birds.

I am avoiding that one like the Black Death, since I've heard how much of a time suck it is.

ION, I've had an ice-pick-stabby headache from hell all day, and no matter what drugs I throw at it, it just laughs at me. I had a lot of shit planned for today, and I am completely derailed. Damn it. I was going to go to the gym and the bank, but leaving the house will make me puke from the movement and light and noise. I have, however, gotten 2 loads of laundry done and gotten the photo book of Chloe all laid out (Shutterfly sent us an offer for a free book, probably since we spent a bazillion dollars with them at Christmas, and we have to redeem it by tomorrow, so I had to get it done).

But now I have to stop staring at this screen and lie down in a dark room and contemplate trepanning.

"To the pain!"

My kids and I make lots of geeky references. There are times when I'm surprised that either of them get my quotes. When CJ misses one and gives me the stupid look, we usually end up on youtube to expand his geeky brain.

Eddie Izzard gets a lot of play too. The current favorite quote is " “This one’s wet, and this one’s wet, and this one’s wet. This one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet, this one is wet. Did you dry these in a rain forest? Why, with the power of the Death Star, do we not have a tray that is f***ing dry?" Yes, it usually gets reduced to just a few "This one is wet"s but CJ can bust out the full quote.

"Cake or death?"

"Do they have a flag?"

"I was swimming down there. Now, I'm going to swim up here."
