As much as I am against the spread of Xmas stuff into the fall, I am here for year-round Halloween merch.

Unsurprisingly, that is my stance. I've already done an early survey of the offerings at Michaels (ooooh, blackened burgundy faux flowers!), and the full THREAT LEVEL: PUMPKIN expedition is happening early next month.

I was going to say that Hemsworth's Australian-ness prevents him from being arrogant, but then I remembered Mel Gibson. The exception that proves the rule, I guess.

Mel Gibson is actually American though, right?

Yes -- born in Peekskill, NY, moved to Australia when he was 12. [link]

Well, there you go.

More goodness: nature cams; this is the tropical aquarium one. You can pick oceans, birds, animal rescues ... very soothing.

It's upsetting that I still have Mel Gibson trivia in my head. (I looooooooved him.)

That's too bad, Jesse.

I am womanfully not watching the Hemsworth video at work. If Excel doesn't start doing what I tell it to that may change.

Working from home today. I went in to mac's room to check the state of things. Window screen in his bathroom. Window screens are on the outside of the windows and we have never taken our off. So clearly he has been sneaking out.

I texted him and said to put it back and no more sneaking out.

Which I thought was pretty calm and elevated and not a rant.

But nooooo he has to come back with "that things been broken for months". As if a broken screen from the OUTSIDE would somehow on its own end up in his bathroom. For fucks sake.

His failure to recognize that I am the more conniving and sneaky of us is his downfall.

And he is deactivating his locator app on his phone, so I guess we have to have a proper talk.

My real guess is that he and his friends are either all smoking or all smoking pot.

As if a broken screen from the OUTSIDE would somehow on its own end up in his bathroom.

God, it just fell backwards! You're so mean, with your physics and stuff.
