I hope you got cracking, Kathy!!

Jesse I'm glad you weren't axe murdered. I feel a little funny about you meeting OTHER Internet people, though! Sniff.

I went dancing, whee!! Though there was some weirdness. And I found out One girl is moving to Zimbabwe. But we are going to become fb friends, so that might be interesting!

Just FYI. Raise a glass. TT shuts down forever in about ten. Met most of you there, and had some good times. Gonna miss knowing it's there.

Jesse is seeing OTHER Internet people behind our backs!

msbelle, so in the effort to get an xbox or psp or a new ds, he just got rid of the old one?

Glad it is gone. Hope the inevitable remorse is tolerable.

And omg, the ds is gone. We just took all his ds stuff and games to gamestop and sold them. Tomorrow may be ugly with regret.

Holy cow! And a big yay!

Timelies all!

I....got nothing.

CHERRIES!!!!

And I ran out of cash, but next week I'm getting fresh peas!

Woke up before 6. Pretended to sleep, but it didn't really work. Market was the first day of summer market and whoo boy, I think we're gonna have to start earlier. It was crazy!

Now off to Home Depot and all my other spots. Before 10 am.

msbelle, good on you for getting rid of that thing, and all it's divisiveness.

Wanna hear something funny? (Kinda, not really):

D's ex keeps bitching about screen time, claims we let M watch too much TV, insinuates we let him on the computer unsupervised (not) and we had to sit through this big "family meeting" before last Christmas.

We're not super-spendy but we go along with it; my parents get him books and Lego Star Wars alarms clocks and such.

M just got an iTouch -- a new one, not used -- with his bday money, and they bought him and the whole family tckets to the premiere of the new Cirque du Soliel show at Radio City.

An iTouch? For a 9 year old? When all you DO is harangue us about too much screen time and materialism?

FOR SWEET HYPOCRITICAL FUCK'S SAKE, PEOPLE!

ION, I am going to clean off an old A/C unit and take it over to friends whose central air crapped out and the LL says it will take a while to fix.

Then I am going to write most of the day, except when I have to go to the grocery store. I think we want to see a movie sometime this weekend, too. I think X-Men.

I think we've chosen a place to move to, *half a block* away from work. I've never had so much agita with the process, mostly because my boss taught me the magic phrase: "Is there anything you can do for me on the price?"

The cover story of the NY Times Magazine this week is a travel article about two families -- both with a mother, a father, and little kids -- who go to Disney World together, and the fathers keep sneaking off together to smoke pot. It's a well-written, funny article, but I can't help wondering whether it could have taken the same tone if it was mothers smoking pot -- with mothers, I'm pretty sure it would be "These are horrible people who don't deserve to have children" rather than "Oh, those funny guys finding a way to deal with Disney." Also, no mention made of the fact that dealing with small children at Disney really requires as many adults per child as possible, and they're taking half the adults out of the responsibility picture without OKing it with their wives who are going to have to pick up the slack.
