Yeah, my son memorized his favorite books and pretended he was reading before he figured it out. He was so ridiculously pleased when the pieces came together. He still is a fool for books at 25. The younger son couldn't care less about them as a toddler, and still doesn't.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

She's already in a house full of books! Right now she just turns pages and babbles random words, but she can identify several of them by title.

So. Tired. Two days of cutting, mixing, and cooking. Tomorrow's feast should be delicious but dang I'm exhausted. I have no clue how many people will be coming, but I'm already looking forward to the leftovers.

Hey Laura! The Left Coast is doing pretty well
I am reliably informed that red state refugees to my liking think of emigration even if we don't go all Calexit.
Wonder if ltc is too mature for those soft books full of textured stuff. I've seen quilters put those together for a sensory extravaganza.

She has some of those (commercially made not handmade), but she really doesn't seem to think of them as books anymore. So, she's less interested than she used to be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So I'm officially done posting on Salon.com. That's a weird feeling.
I didn't have any idea my 20 year old log in was about to become meaningless and I could only post via my facebook name. Thaaaaats not gonna happen.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thaaaaats not gonna happen.
Oh hell no.

t gf loves carrots There are many things I like about having the GF living here, including the shift in hormonal balance in the household. There is also having a diet and exercise partner. There is still the unbalanced stride issue on walks since she is 6' tall, but she is pretty much always ready to walk, or go to the gym with me. Today we coordinated on meal planning since the whole household is dieting. And she went and bought the groceries! She isn't an experienced cook, but at my side all daughter like learning and stuff. It has been a real joy to have her here.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've gotten kind of lazy about my bullet journal, and I screwed something up last week that I shouldn't have screwed up because of it, so I'm getting back in the habit. (It was a work thing, and it's fixable and not a huge deal, but it shouldn't have happened.)
