Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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.

Coding and Sleeping

Ugh. Sorry msbelle, that's a rough way to start the week.

I like using Trello type lists (trello.com) to track tasks. It's kind of a software engineering thing, but they work for other stuff too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Instead of really focusing on my overwhelming to-do list, I'm easily distracted today. But YOU GUYS. I have a new favorite name! Worth Z. [lastname].

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So I haven't done shit for my actual job today, but

  • plumbers came and fixed the downstairs water (the pipes were frozen which caused a thingy to break)
  • the junk guys came and hauled away a bunch of junk (building materials left in our side yard by the previous owners)
  • had a pretty successful phone interview for potentially fun new job
  • FINALLY dropped off birthday cupcakes at my daughter's school (her birthday was Thursday, school was closed Th/F last week - they might be stale but I don't think a bunch of 7 year-olds will mind)
  • leaving in an hour to pick my son up for his orthodontist appt

That's enough, right? Do I get a nap now?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Goddamnit, I had a whole rant typed out (and validation for Jessica), and something ate it. Fuck you, computer and/or internet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Rant, short version: Medication for migraines which was supposed to be covered by card from manufacturer has changed how they pay for it, without warning, resulting in it not being covered. Now I'm waiting for the doctor and manufacturer and insurance company to work it out.

Man, it was a much rantier rant before.

Oh HELL no, Dana!

And hell yes, Jess, you can have a nap.

I would like a nap.

Our wings are not tired.

Jessica should be napping now. As should I, and yet.

Well, the canyon where is our house is located is now under mandatory evacuation due to the potential for severe flooding and mudslides. It looks like our house SHOULD be safe. We are scheduled to move in this weekend.

Ugh. Sounds like with beauty comes danger.

That could be the tagline for most of Southern California.
