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

Oh and those photos are completely unsexy. Kind of impressive.

All those Britishisms make perfect sense to me, ie, that's the way I understand those phrases, too. Which explains some confusions in my life. And I admit I've used it against the clueless.

Art Crawl!!!

They made sense to me. . . but I loved the example of a misunderstanding given at the bottom.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The funniest thing to me is I work for a British man- I am the one who uses these phrases and he is the one who misunderstands! We had so much confusion when I kept saying I was "very concerned" about something- I feel like in a professional setting that is the equivalent of SOMETHING IS GOING VERY VERY WRONG!!!!, but he thought it was no big deal!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dear lawyers,

I am not a lawyer! It is not that surprising when the contract language I propose is not what it should be! Please you write it first! Or at least second?

Thx.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I thought I had started out my birthday by conquering the clog in the bathroom sink LIKE A BOSS, but it turns out that I only cleared the wad of hair at the bottom of the U-bend-y pipe; there's a bigger wad of something around another bend back inside the bathroom wall that I can't get at without a tool, and since the inside of the U-bendy was totally rust-crusted I really don't want to Drano it. So, calling the maintenance guy, after I make myself a big big birthday latte.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JZ!

I celebrated your birthday by taking my 6 year-old to Old Navy and Target this morning because I realized that after a year of wearing only a school uniform, my child has no shorts to wear to camp this summer. This situation has now been resolved. We have also acquired a Spider-Man piggy bank and an Angry Birds Star Wars t-shirt. But not a beach/pool towel, because I guess I subconsciously wanted to run MOAR ERRANDS after lunch.

This weekend will be spent LABELING ALL THE THINGS.
