The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Now I really need to know what the real middle name was.

Vianna, a combination of my paternal grandmother and great-grandmother's names. But my entire childhood, if I was in trouble, I heard "Firstname Veg-o-Matic Lastname!" ring across the house.

How Dad talked Mom into going along with that joke, I'll never know.

At least Vianna is a pronounceable progression of letters.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

At least Vianna is a pronounceable progression of letters.

And leaves you open to being serenaded by Ultravox. Or possibly Ultravax.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Vianna is kind of nice. The other day, I got a 'Lunar' instead of 'Luna', which was cool.

Our wings are not tired.

I am applying for jobs FOR Mac. That is where we are. The child needs an F'in job!!

I feel your pain. I just opened a checking account at my son's employer affiliated credit union for him. I have scanned copies of his license and SS card because he loses them all the time. He'll probably know the answers to the security questions I picked for him. He had been just giving me his paychecks and getting cash from me. 26 with zero life skills. He still hasn't set up direct deposit. We'll see if he manages that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My 7AM meeting is particularly intolerable today. Two more days until vacation.

I have my physical this morning. Ugh. So hungry and uncaffeinated.

I'm still getting used to the idea of my 15 year old kid starting an internship at DST Systems (a technology firm) this summer. I'm not sure exactly what he'll be doing. He's apparently the star of his software engineering class, but there's so much he doesn't know.

Coding and Sleeping

I had a medical thing yesterday and I feel a bit like I've been run over by a bus. I was under orders not to drive or do any work yesterday, but I did do a little work on the new b.org because that kinda seems like recreation.
