Sorry for all the shit-feelings. We are at coffee bean waiting for Noah's school to open.

Want more sleep.

I got up at 5 AM to pee, and discovered that the Ant Invasion 2011 had commenced into my house. There was a highway of ants down the hallway into the kitchen, with a side road of ants branched off into the bathroom. All I have in the house in the way of bug killer is some ant bait (too slow) and diatomaceous earth, so there was a lot of swearing and stomping. What I would have given for a can of Raid.

I found where they are coming in the house inside, but not where the outside entry point is. I think it may be covered by the front stairs. I will be liberally squirting ant bait there after work, pesticide ban or not!

I tried to go back to sleep, but I was too cold with the covers off and too warm with them on.

Then I get to work and the big important staff meeting @10 tomorrow was actually at 9 today! So there was much flailing to get us all downtown to a meeting that told us nothing. @@

After all that excitement, I am just struggling to stay awake.

Sheesh, Sue, that's too much morning for morning.

I am off to the car shop. We shall see how long this all takes us.

Best friend just texted that her dog is gone.

Fall of '09 she had five pets: 3 dogs; 2 cats. One cat seriously ailing: put down over Thanksgiving Weekend. Then her oldest dog - lost to cancer in Spring 2010. And now the middle dog: also lost to cancer.

Her remaining cat is also ailing.

From 5 pets to two in 18 months.

I feel for her and I worry for myself with only one ancient cat.

I have given up on today. It's just not happening. It's weird, because I was comatose most of yesterday, but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Quick questons: Batman can beat Iron Man y/y? But can movie Batman beat movie Iron Man?

Also, can Wonder Woman beat Superman?

BMW clad in leather is literally one hot car

ost folks love their German luxury cars fast, powerful, sleek and outfitted with only the finest Italian leather seats inside of their cars. This person loves cow skin so much, he decided to pimp the inside and outside of his BMW entirely with it.

Throughout the years, we've seen chrome cars, gold cars, carbon fiber cars, geek cars, green cars, junk cars and more, but we've never seen a leather car. That's right, some person on this planet decided having leather inside of their luxury car wasn't enough, so they had it skinned on the outside as well.

Sounds like a cart for the Antarctic, where it's sunny and not raining, but not cold.

Sheesh, Sue, that's too much morning for morning.

I am already ready to call it a day.

Stripey sleeveless dress with tiny buttons down the front and robin's-egg trim, or short-sleeved shirtdress in a seafoam floral with a rolled collar?

Which did you choose? I'm intrigued by robin's egg trim.

Depends on the scenario, I'd guess. If they were both in a squash court I'd have to lean towards Iron Man.

Also, can Wonder Woman beat Superman?

If she had a magic sword? He's vulnerable to magic. People forget he's almost as fast as the Flash.

Her lassoo is magic, no?

I think if Batman knew he was going to fight Iron Man, there's no way he'd lose. If it was a long form thing, where he had to track down IM and kill him wherever, he'd win. Better than Iron Man would in the flip side.

But in the movies, Stark is an amazing scientist with a suit or two of his own design. Bats is a fitness fanatic martial artist with borrowed tech--we don't get to see as much of his scientific/engineer process (he could build a suit if he wanted one) and detective skills.
