Our streaming account has a limit of two devices, and we usually have one playing on the TV while my husband half-watches another on his laptop (because he is weird). So it told us we had too many devices running, and that one was an Android tablet (which we don't have) playing a show the US streaming site doesn't have access to.

Cool.

I love the picture of Dana here: [link]

Plei made me laugh and laugh.

ita - I like I was 2 Close 2 Those in My Charge if I were to print one.

the grump it continues and I skipped working out today, but I have lost weight in the last week, so yay.

I will be so happy when I wrap this project up. I'd like to burn it to the ground.

This time, the problem was one of our own making But it wouldn't have happened if they didn't have so many exceptional cases not designed for an automated system.

God I hate this project.

And supposedly I'm being issued a new credit card and account # (citibank security issues), but it hasn't gotten here yet and I'm paranoid.

And stupid SF hasn't acknowledged my request to enroll in the low-mileage program and it had been almost 3 weeks. I don't know if I need to fire my agent or wonder if the device was stolen from my mail. I think it might be the former. How do you fire an agent, but keep the insurance? (I inherited him when my old one retired.) Why do I even need an agent in this day and age???

Nibbled to death by toothy ducks.

I am in agreement on the duck nibbling thing.

So today's weird moment -- I was at a teacher workshoppy thing for the teacher of the year stuff. Everyone who spoke talked about how the essays had to be deep and personal and how they had to make people cry.

Dude. That's not my wheelhouse at all. Maybe I shouldn't bother with the next step.

Jesse, did you end up getting flowers for your mom?

Also, I did NOT do a swell job dyeing my own hair. The back of ear is black.

I dye with a washcloth nearby for my ears alone. They actually get more slop with short hair than when it was shoulder length.

Kat, ignore them. You do your thing, clearly that has a noteworthy impact.

Everyone who spoke talked about how the essays had to be deep and personal and how they had to make people cry.

Good grief, I can see why you would be discouraged by the process.

You know, I did read quite a lot of previous posts, but I am so tired I can't remember what I read. I think I should close the laptop and give up for the night.

They weren't their usual Hollywood pretty, but they were incredibly compelling. And Elijah Wood, Nick Cave and (of all people) Flea seem to have absolutely ideal faces for tintypes; I wouldn't have been a bit surprised if the photographer had added a note at the end saying, "Oh, yeah, I threw those three in because I found them in a box of tintypes in someone's attic and they were such great vintage celebrity doppelgangers I couldn't resist."

I was so confused! wondering how our flea ended up on a tintype!

My mom had her surgery yesterday for a stent in her carotid. So far so good. They've scheduled the cancer surgery for June 5th, and will know then whether they need to do anything else. Trying to figure out when/how I can go home. I'll be in Detroit for work--why is it $400 to fly Detroit to Indianapolis??
