Held over from yesterday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to I! What did she get, Sox? (IOW, what will I be buying my daughter in 4/5 years?)
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Happy sumi day!
Happy belated, ChiKat!
I had actual nightmares last night. That hardly ever happens, I'm more inclined to just waking up scared but not remembering why. And these did not stay with me, particularly, so, okay. But i am not well-rested.
Do we need an animated coyote to tell people not to pet coyotes?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Lordy. There was a child bitten by a coyote near here yesterday. I don't mean to make light (he's going to be fine, ftr), and obviously I am highly sympathetic right now, but it happened while the boy was petting it. I just can't help laughing picturing it.
I've been reading back through the COMM thread (on which note, that whole discussion about the guy who claimed that cunnilingus and I think doing housework was emasculating is one of the funniest things I've ever read, and ten years later it's still hilarious), and by coincidence I'd just got to this one: jengod "Coffee On My Monitor" Mar 12, 2003 2:15:39 am PST.
(PS: My sincere apologies for noting that that cunnilingus conversation took place ten years ago. Because really.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Belated Happy Birthday, ChiKat!
Happy Birthday, sumi!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On that note, Linda Holmes: [link] I'm not sure I totally agree, but it's interesting to think about....

Eh, I am continuously startled by the passing of time, it has nothing to do with pretending to be young. Time is just weird, man, no matter how long you spend living in it you don't quite get used to it. Or, I don't. Or I haven't yet, anyway.
Which is also odd, it's not like I used to live in stasis or in a differently moving time (that I know of, anyway), so you would think I would be as used to time as I am to having oxygen conveniently around for breathing, but no, it's constantly surprising to me that time is passing.

OTOH, don't listen to me about anything, I just set my toaster oven on fire. Making toast.
Did you know fire extinguisher have expiration dates?
It's out now, I'll worry about whether the toaster oven is ruined or salvageable later...

Yeah, that.
Also, at work I've found it useful to throw out references to things from a long time ago, so people realize what a "seasoned professional" I actually am.

This is exactly why I keep telling the people at work about dinosaur evolution.
