So I dealt with it all in a timely and useful manner and napped on the couch with the cats. But the upstairs is clean now.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So we just had Max's confirmation. (Max is my oldest son.) now I'm waiting for my sister's gf to finish cleaning up from the church dinner, while Mason (my youngest son) reads the Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover comic on my iPad. It doesn't seem that long ago when I was here for Max's baptism.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congrats to Max, tommy.
Tom has won Geoguessr. Can I stop playing now. I suck at it.
I tend to go into car dealerships knowing what I want and ready to buy it. I've had the "invisible girl" feeling before, for sure. I usually find a salesman just to tell him that he lost a sale that day. I went to a dealership in a city 50 miles away to buy my current car, because I wanted THAT car.

Tom has won Geoguessr.
(My best score was five points higher than Tom's. Take that, Scola!)

Fiona has won Geoguessr! Probably. Maybe. Sorry, our previous report was premature; all the results were not in. This reporter now recuses herself from further, um, reporting. Carry on.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
All these stories about car buying is why I bought my car on craigslist. I just can't deal with new-car issues. Give me a used car already depreciated any day.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
For anyone who has USAA, they have some great online tools for choosing a car. I was able to take a printout to the dealer and say "I want this car for this price." That simplified things quite a bit.

Ha! You know, I just need some sort of petty reassurance that the hours I've spent playing this game are not entirely wasted. (But I think they possibly still are).

Fiona, when the aliens dump you in some backwoods locale, you'll know exactly where you are, and their evil plan will be foiled by your carefully-built knowledge of random places on Earth.

It's going to be a new version of the "But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night" ad. A group of people appear in the middle of nowhere, but one person turns slowly in a circle, studying everything. "It looks like Australia. But it could be Southern Africa. I played GeoGuesser last night."
