Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

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

Huh. In today's edition of Things I Did Not Know About LMFAO:

  • The two members are related, being uncle and nephew.
  • That dance they're all doing in the video to Party Rock Anthem is called the Melbourne Shuffle, and originated in my city.

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

I have a list of things I didn't know about LMFAO too!

  • it's not just a net acronym?

Will you look at that?

I'm trying to suss out the best place to get whatever in my grocery shopping, and I'm currently irritated that my treat for the week is more expensive at Ralph's than at Bristol Farms or Whole Foods. WF does have NY steak for $19.99, but that's their guaranteed vegetarian stuff. Ralph's makes no such promise--it sells it for $19.49 near me, whereas the "normally friendly to cows we're about to kill" WF NY steak is $17.99, the same price it is at Bristol Farms.

Also, the Ralph's steak was pretty damned disappointing. I would have considered sending that back at a restaurant. And I still have one piece left....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We may get some sort of "wintry mix" tonight. Or we may not :shrug:

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Feeling a bit down, I don't know if any of you knew Mikey from VA/'Mike T from Table Talk, People's Forum, etc., but he passed away this morning from cancer. He was a terrific guy, he lived in Arlington, so we were friends in meatspace as well. We're on another board together, and one prevailing sentiment is that people are saying that folks outside of The Box don't understand why this is so upsetting, like someone can be friends or family if you don't see them in person. So. For the record, you guys are my family, and like a real family, I love some of you more than others, but every one of you matters to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I never knew him, but that is sad. And yes, other people don't get it at all.

In nice news, the store downstairs accepted a package for me! That's like NYC-style nice. Now I feel bad that I don't shop there.

ask them if they have a facebook page and you can like them.

I have CRANKED out work today. I did 2 tasks that had been looming over me for months because they were never urgent. Also managed to get 3 of the 5 personal things done today that I wanted. YAY!

Yeah, I was trying to explain to my sister this morning about the damage done by pseudicides (like Lennay Kekua or the weremonkey), and she didn't really get it.

So, Vortex, let me say that I'm sorry. Cancer sucks.
