Pets the board.

In the continuing saga of the missing Magic the Gathering cards (my nerdness, let me show you it), Hubby's still pissed that we were robbed.

But finding a Beta edition Black Lotus in perfect shape goes a long way to making the pain easier to bear.

ION, who the hell spends $5000 (recent eBay price) for a piece of paper with ink on it that wasn't issued by a government or financial institution? And where can I find their email address?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Because the board was down I went an listened to Marc Maron's WTF podcast with Laura Kightlinger which was pretty enjoyable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, I was certainly not more productive and efficient with the board down. Nice to know.

While the board was down I used Nature's Miracle on all the spots where Oz pooped on the carpet last week. While I was doing that, a cat knocked over a 1 lb sample bag of kibble I got from the pet food store and spread it over half the dining room. I don't know who did it, but nobody is getting any supper tonight!

Anyone want two used cats with food issues?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The podcast ended strong where he was asking about her pets, inquiring if she talked to them.

Laura: Well, I have said to my dog, "Your mom is a sad fool, Basil."
Marc: That's your next book title. After "Hooker #1."
Laura: Yeah, that's perfect. Actually, I don't know what I'd do if I had a boyfriend right now. My dog sleeps behind my legs.
Marc: .....?!...Like...?
Laura: No, I mean behind my knees when I'm in bed. It sounded like I had four legs.
Marc: No, it sounded like your dog sleeps in your vagina.
Laura: [pause a beat] Well, it is the warmest place in the house.

It was just funny in that way that two comics can be when they're mostly talking about shit but then they start to riff and they're completely uncensored and Willing To Go There should the straight line arise.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ongoing saga: Chevy couldn't make me a deal and pretty much acted like what was happening wasn't happening. They have to get me that fucking part.

Because the board was down, I rebooted my modem, router and all the computers in the house. They had been up for a month, and are all running more smoothly as a result. Kind of hard on everyone else, so I'll make a point of remembering to do this weekly rather than waiting for the board to remind me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Buffistas! Never leave me again!

Um. Carry on.

Yay, board! I went away to make peach ice cream and I was afraid you wouldn't be back.
