this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

all they had was a handicapped accessible room

That is seriously your super-power, isn't it?

In addition to cleaning all the things today, I went shopping in my closet. I'm now able to fit into clothes that I haven't been able to wear in years, and I just fixed the hook and eye on a skirt and sewed a button back on my tweed suit jacket so that I can add them into my wardrobe rotation.

Certainly tree sex is painful. It's gorgeous out there with everything blooming and green and spectacular. But it's ouchie too.

I keep looking out at my pretty (overgrown) meadow of a yard, and then clutching my head because of the near-constant sinus headache.

Anyone for Portal 2 co-op?

What system are you on? Because Pete has now played through Portal 2 twice (once with developer commentary), and probably needs someone to play co-op with. GLaDOS remains awesome, and I now randomly say "Burn their house down with LEMONS!" , because it will never stop being funny.

Well damn. Can you do co-op cross-systems? 'Cos Pete is on Xbox360.

Frak. Looks like you can do cross-platform with the PS3 but not a 360.

ETA: How does it play on 360? Every time I've tried to play an FPS with a gamepad I've gone running back to mouse+keyboard.

Pete only plays console games, so it's completely natural to him. I don't play video games (hush, Rock Band doesn't count) partially because I cannot get the hang of using the damn controllers. But I know Pete was really happy with the gameplay for Portal 2.

Darnit. Well, anyone else?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sorry, chris, haven't had a chance to buy it yet. I'm looking forward to it, though.

Errr....on reread, that sounded kind of abrupt. Thanks anyway, Jilli and Pete, and I definitely agree on the gameplay and the writing both.
