My BFF not only takes care of the Christmas presents for her and her husband, she has somehow ended up wrapping all the gifts for TWO of her brothers. One is unmarried, and the one who is married won't wrap his presents for him!
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Yeah, I'm very glad I was reading those stories and thinking, my husband doesn't do that crappy thing, he's really good about doing this good thing.
Tim is not bad, but when it comes to remembering his own family's birthdays, he is the actual WORST. Every year, I make a photo calendar for everyone in his family with photos from the past year (it was my idea; I like making them). I put everyone's birthdays on the calendar. And then, on our copy of the calendar, I highlighted each birthday in bright yellow highlighter. The calendar hangs in the kitchen where he sees it 50 times a day.
He STILL doesn't remember his family's birthdays. I have stopped reminding him until about 10 p.m. on the actual birthday, at which point he smacks his forehead and asks me why I didn't tell him sooner.
And yet he is still alive.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
In other news, OMG, look at this job listing for Executive Director of the American Quidditch League. If I was at all qualified, I would apply in a second.

Something actually weird about how national parks handle missing persons, or scare tactics to drum up sales for a series of books?

It's telling that he doesn't actually name any specific cases in the article, right? (I haven't watched the video.)

Oven-crisped taco shell spilled much its filling while being transported and lost almost all its crispiness upon reheating in microwave. Meh.
Tasty, though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In the last 24 hours, I have been asked the exact same question by the Texas librarian, a secretary in Texas, a paralegal in Texas, and one of the LA librarians, who asked me because a partner in Texas asked him. IF YOU DON"T LIKE MY ANSWER STOP ASKING ME.

I'll share it with him and let you know. My read on it is sensationalism.

Why do you hate America Texas, Lee?
Argh, I keep getting more to do and no time to do any of it. Gah.

JFC people stop coming to me about a non-urgent non-problem when I am trying to work on something that actually is time sensitive.
