We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Meh. Lunch fail. They gave me the wrong soup. It's OK (maybe a little better than that), but not what I was expecting.

Huh. It's wrong order day today!

I ordered a caramel latte and got vanilla! Which I kept because I was already late and they were super, super slow.

I don't understand the Gosling love. I am dismayed at the Ashton/Demi breakup. And I love the idea of herds of vicious cantaloupe. Wait, I realize I have no idea how to spell that melon.

This morning I slept in and got lost on my way here, but the woman I'm working with brought me breakfast! And it was YUM. some kind of acai sorbet or something, with granola and bananas and strawberries and some mango and pineapple and kiwi, and even a teeny slice of coconut on top! OMG so good (but I shudder to think how Many calories--it was huge and I ate it all and am very very full)

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

I had to explain my eating habits to the sleep psych. That's always great to do to health professionals. No, I don't eat much. No, I don't eat vegetables. Yes, I'd love to eat more. No, I'm not wasting space on green things when there are naked calories out there with my name on them. SHUT UP.

She wants to fix my appetite. That's *so* low on my list of priorities unless you can tie it to headaches or insomnia. And she hasn't.

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

Today is Adrock on Top Chef day!!!!!

I feel like I should be home picking out the perfect outfit to watch it on my teevee.

I don't even know what that sentence means. The one with chef in it, not outfit. Outfit I get.

Damned fucking Modcloth made me buy sale stuff anyway, even though I resisted the jacket I linked to. I hate them.

Herds of vicious cantaloupe sounds better than lots and lots of bacteria.

I'm dismayed that Ashton Kutcher is such an asshat but given that, I'm glad that Demi tossed him out.

BTW, Stansborough Grey is the wool that they wove the cloaks out of for the LotR movies. You can order your own elven cloak at the link.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My version is a Listerine outbreak.

I hate Listerine.

I feel like we are playing telephone here.

My petty first-world complaint of the day: it was too hard getting the kids out the door to school today. I hate it when the morning begins with a battle. Anyway, the upshot is that I realized I need to come up with a new discipline model.

Punishments (taking away toys and privileges) are not effective these days, as they don't inhibit the bad behavior and end up escalating things, with bonus of kids trying to negotiate with me when I just want to move on. Respectful requests to meet expectations OF COURSE was a bust. Yeah, we start every morning that way, but again, doesn't inhibit bad behavior or deter escalation. Sigh. Parenting is hard.
