Today was part of my weekend. I had my car battery replaced--the first time in 24 years of car ownership that I did so before it died on me. I took a bunch of cardboard to recycling and dealt with some old, busted blinds that I've been meaning to throw out for months. Tomorrow I'm seeing World's End with amyth and, I hope, getting my bike rideable again (pump up tires, clean off cobwebs, etc.).
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

What's the best way to get from NJ to LI? I know to avoid Staten Island like the plague due to construction. Is it easier/better/cheaper to head north over Manhatten and cross over on the Throg's, or straight through midtown? I know my GPS will force me through the Holland Tunnel, which is hellish only because I lose signal in the tunnel and I'm always at a loss waiting for it to come back as I'm immediately faced with a nightmare of a crossroads once out.
Otherwise I find driving through NYC quite fun after that disorientation.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Working. The project that's taking up most of my time scheduled two big simultaneous deadlines next week, and then the client piddled around and wasted the first two days we should have had to work toward them before releasing needed info to us. If thoughts alone could kill, the responsible party would spontaneously combust when she opens the first file I release.

Sitting out on the cedar screen porch, listening to the desert birds of paradise trees shoot off their seeds. They kinda sting if they hit you.

I ate all the things today. I'm hellbent on regaining the ten pounds I lost which is stupid as clothes are just starting to feel better.
Had a productive-ish day. We had a 504 plan meeting for Noah (not Grace! Someone else needs accomodations!), I had the most delicious pizza and salad (ovolini with ground pepper on arugula with tomatoes. NOM), and now the kids are at a birthday party.

I'm super charmed that Ginsburg is going to perform a gay-marriage ceremony in DC this weekend.

That is an fantastic t-shirt.
I bumped into a John Hughes marathon on tv. Do I own all the movies? Yes. Am I still watching the chopped up tv versions? Well, duh.
They're so PERKY!
