"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

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.

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

I'm gonna throw this out there--anyone seen Looper?

JUST SAYING.

Is this a Joseph Gordon Levitt thing?

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.

Oh, Noah. I was so glad to get to meet them this summer.

Cool.

I'm not good for much these days, but I've always wondered if I'd be able to help if something like that happened. I mean, I've done a lot of preparatory reading.

I spoke to a woman at my neurologist's office. I told her I'd been getting random and insufficient treatment at the ER which was forcing me to blow hours and money getting admitted weekly to the hospital, and she sounded like she thought that was a bad thing, and she'd have the neuro call me.

Pain specialist also needs to call me back, because I don't know if I'm supposed to refill what I have or not. I'm just floating without advice.

When I turned on the TV it was on one of the Twilight movies. Apparently Jacob has long hair??? I feel almost guilty that actually seeing them makes the stuff people say about them sound insufficiently cruel. I don't care how much RPattz hates the role and disrespects the fans--he's making a shitload of money and fame acting shittily, and I'm not sure why Kristen gets so much more bad press. They're both ridiculous.

Whatever the Twilight mocking movie is, it looks more and more accurate.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Just in the first one, I think. (I haven't seen the movies, but in the books, it's a major plot point when he cuts his hair toward the beginning of the second one.)

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

I thought he grew it out again later because he thought Bella liked it better that way. Or wait? Is that considered a spoiler? Should I whitefont?
