Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The crib is here, and Gary and my dad are assembling it.

Yay, crib!

Overheard last night at the restaurant. Three generations of guys had come in and were discussing things. They got on to movies, then to James Bond, then debated who was better, Daniel Craig or Sean Connery. Roger Moore was determined to be the worst. One of the middle-range age of guys said he liked Roger Moore better than Sean Connery. A gasp of horror went around the table.
Other middle-range guy: Roger Moore over Sean Connery?? That's--that's like--
Oldest guy: Like liking Roy Rogers over John Wayne. (noises of agreement)
They went on to discuss which of John Wayne's movies were the best.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'd accept that analogy, Connie.
Sheryl, has TLG been sleeping in the traditional bureau drawer till the crib arrived? We had a borrowed bassinet for StE, which he hated. He much better liked the wide open spaces of the crib. StY, on the other hand, wanted to be swaddled tight and tucked in close with blanket rolls. True personality indicators.

Beverley,
No, we have a pack-n-play Gary's dad got for us when we got back to Maryland.

That was very nice of him. I didn't really expect you guys to use a bureau drawer. It's just the cliche image from old movies and tv.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
M slept in a sock drawer for his first 2 nights, since the baby furniture delivery people messed up and didn't deliver anything on time.
We have my old crib that my Grandpa made for me, so we're okay for the first few months, at least.

Heading out of the city, first hit a road closure on the main bottleneck due to an accident and then mysterious parking lot on 95S. Barely made my hair appt. took twice as long. Coming back, fucked up construction coming into the city+ traffic for a 1Direction concert meant an epic detour through southwest Balt via the protest routes. Took 3x as long as it should. While the detour was interesting (hadn't been that way in a while, ) I'm never leaving the city again.

Things done today: Cleaned the toilet some, felt disgusted with myself on the state thereof. Did a cautious drain volcano on the tub drain with baking soda and vinegar, very cool, must not get carried away with basic chemistry. Cleaned the hair trap for said tub drain, was grossed out but filled with schadenfreude for what housemate will be faced with when he has to do all his cleaning himself.
He does do some cleaning, and I'd rather clean stuff myself than be a nag. I just indulge in pre-emptive gloating.
