Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I guess I'm not going to the beach. Luckily I have lots of alternate plans!

My NEW CAMERA (that you guys helped pay for) arrives today. Thanks, y'all!

Also, how creepy?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

OMG, some people are all worked up over how Wills and Kate put the baby in the car seat: [link] Keep reading until you get to Diana references.

And fully half the comments on this article are "Ow wow those people are assholes! But seriously, the car seat is buckled wrong."

Because books.

I don't know. Some of them look oddly comfortable -- like, if you didn't tell me they were strangers, I wouldn't have known.

The A/C is off! It's nearly chilly out there. I am so happy.

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

The comments on those photos are from people who've never..well, never seen the awkward family picture site, for one. I'd love to pose for those pics--at least it had a clear message. I've taken pictures with strangers that seemed way pal-ish and I didn't have any idea who they were, they just wanted pics with the chick. I have no idea what happened to those photos afterwards...

I'm irrationally proud of myself for continuing to get up at o-dark-thirty to run with my sister twice a week, even though I'm unemployed. And since I'm up so early, I put a load in the wash and made a cake for book club tonight. What I should do now is take a box of books to the post office to mail...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's a pleasant 75degF here! Still a little hot for me, but after temps in the 90s, I ain't complaining.

The earthmovers are still working in the formerly vacant lot nearby. The house rattles and the cats hide. They start at 7am and stop at 5pm. At least they're punctual and consistent. I wonder if this is doing subtle damage to the structure of the houses around the construction site. In five years will I find a crack in my foundation?
