That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have done some straightening! And had popcorn for lunch. have you people seen the popcorn ad touting its Whole Grains? Come on, now! People are so ridiculous. Fat-free sugar! Gluten-free bacon!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda's friend Sena's family is having an open house today so we'll toddle over there after we're showered and cleaned up and eat free foods.

Emmett is snowboarding today! Wish him No Knee Injuries! And fun. He can have fun too.

Jesse, tell me more about this ham.

The status is NOT quo.

It's Jesse's fault that I now must go to the grocery store and get a ham.

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

Our house is stupid cold this morning. Oy! I drank all the hot coffee, and I'm still cold.

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

Yeah, Jesse, I'll tell you if your problems become imaginary. I got your back like that.

Just read a tumblr tag "on a scale of Misha Collins to Robert Downey Jr, how similar are you and your character?" which is pretty damned apropos. But, also, I keep thinking "On a scale of Tom Hardy to Tom Hardy, how similar are you and your character?"

But... technically popcorn IS whole-grain!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Lee, I had the same thing happen after my root canal. It happens. What AB did they give you instead? And do you have pain meds?

I was actually kind of geekily pleased to have have something to add to the allergies to medicine part of my med records. They gave me amoxicillian instead, and I can already tell that is working much better.

If my experience is any guide, for all future dental antibiotic needs, they will try to give you clindamycin, and then get irritated when you tell them you're allergic. That damn antibiotic is their favorite one to prescribe.

My New Year's Day so far has involved fighting with our internet provider to figure out why our 5 Mbps connection is currently loafing along about about 600 kbps. Which makes downloading TV pretty damn difficult.

So far, no luck, but they say they will call back.

Happy new year, all! Skipping lots of posts to say that I think my niece and nephew will be busking today in Santa Monica in the 2-4 slot . . .

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Really, I should say I know other people have worse problems.

Jesse, tell me more about this ham.

It's just a little boneless ham I bought. I'm going to put spicy mustard on it and heat!

But... technically popcorn IS whole-grain!

This is what I'm saying.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm watching a Graham Norton episode and yet more music I have no idea of, but have cheerily made their dent in the music industry anyway--Girls Aloud. What does a five woman group have to do to not look like they're standing around, especially when they're dressed in nightclub gear, meaning very high heels and two in skirts tight enough that their choreography is stilted?

Their song "Biology" is actually quite good, though the video clip will not help with your question. (I recommend avoiding their cover, with the Sugababes, of "Walk This Way".)
