That's like John Darnielle in Durham

And Dave Matthews in Seattle!

I swear I've had more sightings of David Cross and Michael Cera than all other celebrities combined.

Dan and I BOTH had a cigarette afterwards, like after a scene in an old 40's movie

What a picture! That sounds delicious.

I had just barely gotten into the habit of flossing daily when I got the invisalign, which means I should be flossing after every meal, but really I skip lunch.

The Invisalign was what got me in the habit of flossing every day! I kept thinking about putting the plastic things on over dirty teeth and gums, and... eesh, yeah, brush and floss.

Got it! Thanks!

My friend got tipsy with former colleagues tonight (and may still be in their care) and so we're postponing the china packing on account of too many feels and poor coordination (china is mostly stuff she inherited from her late parents, so.) Just as well, I can stay up late tomorrow and sat nights, but NSM tonight.

Today is your birthday, Andi! Happy birthday to you. May you have joy in abundance in the year to come. You have lifted my spirits countless times here and deserve much happiness.

Dear, sweet, Andi. Laura speaks for me. I adore you and wish you greater happiness than even you can imagine!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Andi!

I am sorry about your grandmother, MM

I am so totally over adulting for the day. It is time for PJs, mac and cheese, and maybe some wine.

About pseuds. I have one that I used to use on dating sites but nowhere else.

I used 'beej' here because that is what I was called for many, many years. When I switched to my actual name, I added the fides as both a pun and an expression of my desire to always be sincere and honest.

It never occurred to me to use any other kind of pseud after a good friend of mine, who is a big noise in 'net security, sat me down for the 'hard truths' about life on the internet as he sees them.

Or, it could just be that I don't have that great an imagination when it comes to such things!

Happy Birthday, Andi!

So I have a 1-day streak of flossing going.

Who's gonna grow the rally beard?

I'm trying to decide if I need to take one of the cats to the vet tomorrow. She's obviously had pain in her mouth the last couple of days, but right now she seems totally normal. She would have to be completely knocked out for anyone to actually look at her mouth and I really don't relish the idea of inflicting that trauma on either of us.

It is time for PJs, mac and cheese, and maybe some wine.

That sounds excellent. I have had my quesadilla and flan (the appetizer and dessert from tonight's prix fixe meal - the entree also would definitely have been too much and will be good for either breakfast or lunch tomorrow) and am about to try a "single serve" pinot grigio.

Poor kitty of aurelia. It's so hard to know what they need.
