Removed all the trash from the car and vacuumed it. Replaced the cat litter in case it was the new stuff making Loki chew off his loinfur. Dinner, then tackling front room table.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations, aurelia!
I just checked a couple of bookish places online, and the least-damaging bad smell solution seems to be sprinkling the book with baking soda, putting it in a bag for 24 hours, and then shaking and dusting it out; the soda should absorb at least enough of the smell to let you read the book. (Alternatively, another site suggested putting the book in the freezer, but I am highly suspicious of any Joey Tribbiani-approved method of book maintenance.)

So my brother's having a driveless drive-in movie night: SIL has a large portable screen and projector for work. So they set up in the backyard, camp chairs, fire pit, wired to nside sound system with wireless speakers on the deck behind the screen, roasted marshmallows and made s'mores.
I love their family creativity. I love how much fun they have being a family.

Anyone else watching this fundraising concert on NBC? Within a single song, the censors missed a "fuck" from Jay-Z, and Beyonce's breasts nearly bounced out of her shirt. The earlier parts of it definitely weren't being broadcast live, but this part must be -- I don't see how all that could have gotten through if it were recorded.
