Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Facebook is killing me today with people going way too far (IMO) in their support of the NYPD.

I did laundry, and went to TJ's and the liquor store and I don't feel like doing anything else, so I'm doing my nails. It's a legit to-do item! I'm bummed I forgot croissants at TJ's since I was hoping to have them for birthday breakfast, but whatevs.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's raining here. Whee.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Chances are you'd have forgotten to set them out to thaw overnight anyway. If my experience is any guide.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was really good about remembering to put the croissants out to proof the night before when they were a regular part of my diet. Yum.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Mom instituted a one present policy this year. And now is breaking it. Talking to dad, it's apparently my fault?? For the former or latter tactic, I'm not sure, except the words "sure, you can get one present if your list is as short as Julie's is".

IT'S NOT A CHECKLIST! It's a guide so you get an idea of what we might like. Shit. In that case, I really should have put down the several grand I'll need for dental work and the grand I'll need for my timing belt.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hec, that Sprecher stuff is the real deal!

Heh. Fair enough!

OK, kind of weird--my sister's house is pretty full up, and I would've been sleeping on a blow up mattress in the office. Her neighbors, who she is good friends with, are out of town, and offered to let me stay in their house while they're gone (my sister is also taking care of their cats). OK. They expect me to use the master bath, because the other one is...the cats'. And i figured I'd stay in the guest room, but the sheets clearly haven't been changed (they are COVERED in dog hair...even under the blankets). The master bed sheets seem to be clean. I feel very weird about this. I mean, if you HAVE a guest room, I generally would assume I USE it, not the master!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Have you guys ever played Robo Rally? Glorious chaos that benefits a programmer's brain.

I love that game. A phrase actually spoken at the Roborally table, after blindsiding an opponent: "As God is my witness, I thought Spinbots could fly."

You can play Roborally online here: [link] I think it's free if you play solo (against AI robots, which is entirely appropriate), but you need to subscribe to play against actual people.

I've only played it drunk, which, as you might guess, didn't work out so well. (But I followed that up with an amazing game of Ticket to Ride, so...I can draw no conclusion from that, actually; I just wanted to boast.)
