Well, someone noticed my Citrix hadn't gotten the upgrade yet. I was kinda looking forward to seeing what happened if that didn't happen before the server upgrade, but I guess it's better this way.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

I think I probably learned more about cricket from Douglas Adams than anyone else. Not that that is very much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just finished a reread of The Nine Tailors. Oh, my god, the bell ringing.
Yeah, that's the other one in my head!
In the Google cricket game. I (that is, the cricket) turned into a duck. Like a rubber duck?
Oh, ha! I forgot that's where that started.

I don't know how well I could type if I actually turned into a duck. No fingers, those bills are pretty wide to pecking keys, and balancing on one foot to poke at a keyboard with webbed toes certainly sounds challenging.

I hate when it storms until 6. Just late enough that I get started on something else. But oh well, is what it is.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I called on what I'd read in The Nine Tailors when a friend who'd moved to England decided she needed a hobby and took up ... bell ringing. For reals. At least I could sort of follow her conversation.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Two more Republican senators have come out in opposition to proceeding with the health care vote.
The only thing that concerns me now is that most of the opposition is because the bill isn't cruel enough. But hopefully if they were to make the bill worse, they'd lost more moderate Rs.

It occurred to me the other day that the current version of the GOP wants to replace the perceived Nanny State with a Wicked Stepmother State

sara, how's the tooth doing? (Yours more than Loki's)
Noah threw up in bed last night after eating his body weight in popcorn. This made cleaning his sheets impossible because the popcorn kernel shell-bits don't rinse neatly out when you wash them. This meant that I had to trash the sheet and then clean the washer carefully. Sigh. My summer life can be fun but it's also a lot of tedium.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
No fun, Kat. Hope Noah is feeling better.
Because I want people to share my misery, I posted a pic of the carpet in my office area at work. [link]
