Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

K was at Krav from 12-5 today. ita, she said that Kelly Campbell says hello.

I have accomplished nothing (unsurprisingly!) but I wish I had at least done the laundry.

No wait. I did a load of dishes. And I put patches on scout uniforms.

Also, did anyone else read the Rainbow-Cake Recipe comment saga? Someone did a meta-analysis of the comments on a recipe. hilarious! [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My favorite Kimmel/Celebs reading mean tweets was the one from a while back with Jennifer Garner.

"That's not nice."

It was such a mom response.

Ugh, I shouldn't have had those curly fries. Note to self: don't eat curly fries. Ever.

Jesse, I'm sorry. That's tough.

We had a graduation brunch for Emmett today and he did the traditional Opening Of the Gift Cards And Catching Checks and Large Denominational Bills.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Fanshaw.

It's my theory, which is mine, that British pronunciations are the result of hundreds of years of saying long names while pissed drunk. It's just too much trouble to nunsuch all those sybils.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I did more packing of boxes and cataloguing of ceramics at my sister's place. And then came home all stinky and tired and had to take a bath before dinner.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

K was at Krav from 12-5 today. ita, she said that Kelly Campbell says hello.

Atta-K! I'm so jealous. Which does not remind me--do you think I could get back the folder I lent her? I'm forgetting the information in it. Tell her to tell Kelly hi back from me any and all the time.

Man, I found out this guy at old work who was always trying to talk to me trains at the West LA location, so clearly he had his in, because I will talk krav to anyone. But I got laid off before conversation #2! I almost feel sorry for him, but I'm too busy feeling sorry for myself.

So I drew orchids for my mother that I didn't like, so I sent them to her as a "this would have been a tote bag, but I am insecure" not birthday present. After conceding there are no orchids that look like that, she said she was looking forward to receiving her tote bag. Ordered! Just have to work out how to get it to her. One does not simply ship into Jamaica.

hip deep in pie

So this is weird. I was just out trying to reclaim a garden bed from the grass that's overtaking it. And I dug up a pill bottle filled with quarters. The latest quarter is dated 2011 and I moved in here in 2007. It's definitely not mine. [link]

It makes me want to simultaneously dig up the rest of the garden, and complete the last 10% of the fence to my backyard so no more weirdos wander in to bury their money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I love it. Was it definitely buried, or maybe someone just lost their laundry money and it made its way under some dirt? Anyway, finders keepers.

Also, did anyone else read the Rainbow-Cake Recipe comment saga? Someone did a meta-analysis of the comments on a recipe. hilarious! [link]

And then the comments on that article devolve as fast! [link]

Jesse, as usual, I read the article but not the comments. Hilarious that his devolve too.
