Between this and his affection for black turtlenecks, Steve Jobs has a lot to answer for.
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Mixed platform marriages have challenges, they never really go away.
We handle our mixed platform marriage by me cheerfully ignoring his PC and Android devices. Although Tim is thinking about getting a Chromebox for his dad when they come out this spring, and getting a Chromebook for himself so that if his dad has any problems, Tim can just look at his and see what's up. And I admit, the Chromebook/box look pretty cool.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
For a second there, I thought you were going to say that mr. flea had picked up a taste for black turtlenecks. So I suppose it could be worse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I'm gonna upgrade my phone as a birthday present to myself, and I am tempted by the Droid, but I will probably stick with the iPhone. I have a ton of apps.

mr. flea has a macbook pro and an iphone, and we have an ipad mini, so it's not like he's being deprived of mac products. He just wants ME to love Steve Jobs as much as he does. (And yes, he does like black turtlenecks specifically because of Steve Jobs.)

Not belated yet, Suzi, it's on Tuesday. But thanks! Is yours today? Many happy returns if I am remembering that right.
I have a 4S, I've had it for long enough for Verizon to subsidize my upgrade, and they will give me something for recycling the old one, so it supposedly works out to be practically free. I'm sure there's a catch but I haven't worked out what it is. Other than I'll have a two-year contract again, but I don't find that such a bother.

Laundry sorted and first load in the washer. Time for a cup of tea and more "Zeppelin Attack" Nova.
Aren't you glad I decided to share my exciting life?

I'm waiting for Tim to make French toast (late breakfast, since I slept until 11:00; I definitely am going to call the doctor this week about my sinus nastiness, because I'm still full of gross nastiness and tired all the time and my neck glands hurt).
(Why are my parentheticals so often longer than my non-parentheticals?)
So...super exciting here in Teppyville.
