My assistant moved here from Chicago when we closed that office. The apartment she got is not ready, so she's staying with me for the week. It works out well, as Jason flew off to Iceland this morning. We are slounging around and watching football. Well, she's watching--I'm glancing at the screen occasionally while noodling around on the interwebs.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
you need a coffee alarm clock. Possibly, we all do.
Naturally Betsy beat me to mentioning the Teasmade!
We took the family to see Paddington today, so I'm in a very British frame of mind. It's the most British movie EVER. Paddington wins in the end by keeping calm and carrying on, all while being unfailingly polite.

I rearranged my office to make room for bookcases. Now I'm loading the new bookcases with...old...books. Not *old* old, but not new to me. My books.
What the hell?! Is English my second language?
I'ma start over.
I rearranged my office.

How can one make coffee before you've had coffee? It's not even possible.
It took a lot of work, but I have trained myself to measure out, grind, and make coffee while still half asleep. I use an Aeropress, so no automatic timer coffee for me

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
There has been more than one morning where I have wondered why the kettle is not boiling only to realize I had never turned the burner on, and then the one time I managed to pour the boiling water over my hand instead of on the tea leaves.

Has Monstro been consigned to the dumpster? Or are these in addition to?

Thank yoh, Scrappy. Likewise.

Monstro, alas, is no more. Too many moves, too many dis-assembly, re-assemblies. He would not have made it this last move, and he...he had to...
...he's in the Great Personal Library in the Sky, now.
Go with Giles, Monstro. Go with Giles.

If I only had a brain...
Speaking of Giles, my daughter just forwarded me a transperson's Tumblr story about ASH being an utter sweetheart.
Edit: Actually, have the whole series of posts.
"We were walking near some mud and Tony slipped and nearly fell over, and I was there like “Don’t fucking die on me! The internet will never forgive me” and he just pissed himself laughing and did this impression of me trying to tell you all that I’d accidentally killed Anthony Head and for the rest of the day he’d make comments like “I’d best not trip on this step, Jay’ll be murdered” and it was fucking hilarious."
