Today has been awesomely exhausting. I walked a 5K, then took twins to a birthday party, then a baseball game, then swam my mile.

Intersperse with cooking and you have a very exhausted me.

I was up since 5am, work till ten, home and backpack blowing the patio, the "parking lot", and the entire driveway. Then bookstore, got a new spare tire, then Target for new patio chairs to replace the ones that were smashed last October. Delirious nap at 5 where I dreamed about cleaning my apartment while my mom was unpacking the car and I was furiously trying to hide the unwashed dishes in the closet without her seeing. Woke up at 7 still extremely exhausted. Now reading Slaughterhouse Five, which I am enjoying far more than Cat's Cradle (which was a whole load of depressing and "why?".

great pedicure, disappointing fullest manicure...and I left my two bottles of OPI at the salon. Should I go by tomorrow and try to convince them that 2 bottles out of the wall of polishes are mine, or just consider them a lost cause?

Thunderstorm. Flash flood warning til 2am. Makes me nervous. Will probably lose power. Posting from phone. Wish my sister had stayed the night. Also, my heat pump is officially broken, so no AC. Kinda hot with windows closed.

I would try getting them back, msbelle. Is it hugely out of your way or likely to be a fraught conversation you don't have the emotional energy for? Otherwise, I'd give it a shot. You like the stuff, right? It's yours.

I would say give it a shot, msbelle.

And, Juliebird, vibes to your friend and his wife and to their boy.

And many many vibes to both ita ! and Zenkitty, both of whom sound like their Saturday nights are on their way to evil.

And, ugh. So weary. Started the morning by stupidly taking Matilda five blocks uphill in the rain to a birthday party that it turns out is tomorrow, then frantically housecleaned and swept and folded and tidied and also hosted an indoor tea party for Matilda and her stuffed dog Snowy (soundtrack by Lyle Lovett, courtesy of Teppy), lunched her, dinnered her, cleaned the kitchen, edited not enough pages of a novel that I should've gotten back to the author last week, and am now so bone-deep tired. And, actual birthday party tomorrow! If I'm not too ashamed to show up.

I bought new tires and then drove to Memphis and saw the Broadway touring company of La Cage Aux Folles today. Christopher Sieber was amazing! George Hamilton was... well, at his age alive is doing pretty good.

it is not out of the way, if they are open on Sunday it will be easy.

Call'em first. Might lend legitimacy?

So I'd never tried the laser pointer out on Pumpkin. Sadly, lack batteries. But I opened the box of toys, reigniting Loki's awareness of it (it's an index card box) and now he's fitfully trying to get it off the shelf and then open it. Oops?

I apologise in advance for this, because it's some of a TOS of a hate site.

1) Zero tolerance for violence!. This is illegal and we do not condone nor support it.

4) No bashing any race of humans, another thing frowned upon here. Any reference of it will be deleted.

6) Also the obvious, no niggers are allowed.

8) We will allow the coalburning subject here only to illustrate the dangers involved to the humans choosing to participate in such heinous crimes against nature. Speak of the beatings and murders but avoid the spread of false information by implying that niggers possess the sexual prowess to steal our women. This is the myth they have been trying to convey for ages and we will not have any of it here. If you are dejected and sad that a nigger stole your girlfriend, go see Dr Phil. Coal burning threads and posts not involving the typical outcomes will be deleted and the authors warned.

9) The most important rule of all, have fun!

Also, we encourage you to participate in as many nigger-bashing forums as you want. But we will not tolerate any bad mouthing of our forum or any of our members, either here or anywhere else on the net. This will result in an instant ban with no warning whatsoever.

Also, if you are a lady, please feel free to approach Miss Ann or NigNog, our female Administrators, so we can open the ladies forum for you, we have a strong female element here at Chimpout and they will make you most welcome.

I'm trying to work out how this holds together. Niggers aren't human?

I haven't heard of this "coalburning" before. And I'm scared to google it...short version? What's a "typical outcome"?

And, oh yeah, they're lying about the violence thing. I stumbled upon their site reading about Trayvon Martin, and they were talking about taking up a collection for Zimmerman in order to pay him for having killed a nignog. Ook ook, eek eek.

In case you wondered if they were being consistent, or anything.
