Oh man, why am I working? I mean, I knew I would have to, but it's still annoying. I'm still trying to decide if I have time to go the beach tomorrow. HMMMM.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I love that kids just keep growing. It's a beautiful thing.
Except for the part where Emmett is starting to outgrow his size 12 shoes.
We just go back from buying him a foam roller because his ass is so sore from his cross-fit training. And he's got to catch an entire game tonight.
Since we were in the Richmond District, we swung by our favorite cheap Dim Sum plus and got lots of Siu Mai. Pork balls!

Man, my lawyers are falling down on the job. I hate it when I can't get a solid answer.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
What's perhaps most baffling to me about the "when you get your period" thing is that, on average, that's within a year or two of her current age, which doesn't seem like enough of a difference to make a difference.
I'm certainly no less likely to roll my eyes at a 13 year old than an 11 year old.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We decided not to go down to the Mall like we do most 4th of Julys since a) it was ridiculously hot and b) we were still recovering from a con. Ended up at the Takoma Part 4th of July celebrations, and there were times where that was overwhelming me. Maybe I can blame the heat for that...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
When a friend's 10-year-old told he was realizing a life-long dream three separate times during a conversation I thought it was adorable. Where is the line between "Oh, you're cute" and "Oh, shut up" ?

I know...I'm not sure. I like Willow Smith though, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Going through puberty is a pretty common metaphor for the divide between childhood and adulthood. I don't think it's something you can pin down to a specific age. Just seems like metonymy, pretty much, to me.

Okay, Google, that's not cricket.
They changed the code on their search by image screen since yesterday! The direct URL I was using to search in Opera is no longer valid.
I suspect someone ratted me out...it's the only possible explanation for these shenanigans.
