Holy shit, it is awful out there. I was wringing out my hair on the way back from the market at 9:15 this morning. It was disgusting. Just going from the car to the store was miserable. I've got to head to the pool early, it's going to be mobbed.

Thank, Odin, I found a Starbucks with Wifi so I can charge my phone and stay out of the sun before gametime.

Last year our tournament at Ripon was on the backside of a HS. This year we're at the main sports complex. Soooo much more civilized.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am at the beach, where it could be sunnier! But that does make it bearable.

Kat, no, he's been fine between the day program he goes to and my grandmother until now.

hip deep in pie

It is also hot here. I am hanging out in the basement, drinking alcohol tinged lemonade. It could be worse, but I'd rather be at a beach.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I just stumbled on The Losers playing on TNT. Apparently it's joined Lion in Winter, The Princess Bride, and, Rear Window on my list of "stop clicking and watch" movies.

Tilda's awesome.

Jesse, it must be stressful to try to organize people and times for the checking in. I was just curious if you had general coverge.

Yeah, the day program has been it. He doesn't have medical needs, which limits what would be covered, so the cost is an issue, although I think my mother just hired someone for a half day.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I have Orphan Black queued up next on Instant Watch On Demand. Just finished catching up on Under the Dome. Defiance looks a little intense, and I have no intention of doing the game, so I think I'm not as up for intense as I used to be. I am having fun on Primeval: New World, though. Zane! And now I feel dumb for stopping WHSE 13 a season or two ago. It sounds like it got better.

Salon was my first online deal, Tabletalk almost immediately, and Agnes Bertiz soon after.

I have pictures, somewhere in the old house, of me in pigtails on the glass bottomed boat at Weekie-Wachie, as well as photographs of the mermaids. I so badly wanted to be one of those mermaids when I grew up, when I was four. From the same trip, I have pictures of both my parents in Hawaiian shirts, with macaws perched two on each arm and one on their heads. Hilarious.

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

I was iffy on Defiance at first but now that the season's almost over I really like it quite a bit. Never bothered with the game, never felt like I was missing out.
