not your mom's socks.

I am desperate to watch COSMOS and we cannot get it here without cable. No local affiliate that reaches the antennae. I am hoping it will go to amazon prime or iTunes or something. Quickly.

All this talk of bathtubs. I hate ours with a passion. It would barely qualifiy as a proper depth tub, even in the 1950s. It's basically an elongated, leaktastic shower base with ambitions. It's metal so it cools fast. It's darned uncomfortable to read in. And the entire plumbing system is equally sketchy. Every time we play 'let's look at houses even though we're not able to move' I judge every one by the master bath. Pretty much, everything else in the house could be rotten and covered with weeds as long as the bathtub is a soaking tub.

... with bookshelves.

Hubby's been looking forward to Cosmos. I hope he feels good enough to enjoy it.

edit: My serious boyfriend in college gave me a copy of the Cosmos book for a Christmas present. I still have it. And now Hubby loves the new one. Their birthdays are the same day and year. It's a tad freaky.

Me too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Cass, we are DVRing it, if'n you're interested. Of course, chances are it'll be available for streaming in a blink.

I want to come over after work tomorrow and watch with y'all. And play with the kids. Maybe paint our nails. 100 miles is too far. Especially when I don't drive those 100 miles often. I really should change that.

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

Oo, I'd love that Cass! But yes, too far for a casual visit. But a gal can dream. Anyway, I meant we'd be keeping them on the DVR for a bit so the kids could see it too, but then I realized it'd be way way easier to just watch it in a day or two when it magically appeared online.

Watching a bit now, but I feel guilty as DH had to run out and do some things so he won't watch until later. When I'll watch it again of course. Also guilt inducing: I need to be grading. Even more guilt inducing: I yelled at Franny before bed because I found all her folded clothes dumped behind her bed instead of put away in her drawers. I feel entitled to be pissed, but yelling never is the right choice, it's usually just the one closest to hand.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

My mother tricked me into talking to my brother on the phone. Thankfully he ended it quickly. I wish at these times that she was a stranger so I could be honest and say how uncool that was and that I've no wish to be part of his support network, and haven't since jr. high.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just discovered that there has been leakage under my kitchen sink and have spent the last hour or so removing everything from the surrounding cabinets. I'm afraid I'll have to clear out the drawers and the countertop too, but I have no place to put more stuff. At least I have wine.

If only that was its only problem.

Indeed.

I'm waiting for the eventual showing up online too. Hopefully on iTunes so I can legit hand them monies. Something where they count my viewing at least.

But yes, too far for a casual visit. But a gal can dream.

Too far for spontaneous casual. I think we should still manage a visit though.

Downside to aging and having a white cat: momentarily worrying you have a gray eyebrow. Nope, cat fur. On my face.

Same here. Oh COSMOS, I missed you.
