Eastern Time Zone Bedtime Check-In:
I'm in bed, too. 10:03 pm. But I'll probably read for at least an hour. Still, I'm in bed.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My dinner won't be ready for another hour (and is not pizza). Poor planning on my part.
I had my Friday night thimbleful of wine, though!
Eta: and my living room is actually close to arranged like I want it, just not at all tidy.

Had Grace's PT conference today. She's doing fine in language arts and is behind on math (not surprising). So now we have to do math catch up. Noah, though, is now moving into division from multiplication.
Then we went to PF Changs where I had a cocktail. I am now ready to go to bed (was up late with Grace).
Ugh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DIVISION?
Kat, did you trade him in for an adolescent or something?
Meanwhile, I'm so freaking happy about Grace--I know they're old, because she's really made leaps and bounds since the last time I saw her.
I am remarkably less tense about the racism discussion on IO9 than I thought I was going to be. I feel if I stress that the demographics cast don't match the pool of available actors or plausible populations for the fictional communities, aren't we really done talking?
But then someone says something like "Well, Japanese directors cast more Japanese actors"...Wait, I forgot to yell at them for conflating white and American. I'll be back in a bit.

Division? Seriously? Wow!

ita, nope. He's just really into math. Grace isn't. And it might be that Noah is willing to do the math for her. While we were waiting at PF Chang's I made a coin board and we sorted coins. Grace went really slowly and didn't get them all right. Noah zipped through then said, "I have 2 quarters and 5 dimes. They're equal." Then we talked about adding all of his coins and dividing it fairly between the four of us. He knows some of his multiplication facts and gets that dividing is about splitting things equally.
I have off next week. WOOT.

No, but in it there's a little boy who's crazy good at math. He turns out to be a powerful telekinetic and maybe a crime lord, so you might want to keep an eye out.

I don't know that Noah is crazy good at math. He just likes it. A lot. And he wants to know how and why it works. But if shit starts moving at his will around the house, I'll let you know.
