I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

How did I adult today? I downloaded IMDBtv and did not immediately start watching Spenser for Hire, because I know that I would fall into the abyss and be struggling to keep my eyes open for "til the end of this episode" at 4AM. Instead, I came here. Marginally better.

Vuvuzelas could be a problem. [link]

I feared so.

I'm out of bed for over two hours now but still not awake. C'mon, brain. Me needs you functional today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

My external keyboard has Return in the main typing section (above Shift on the righthand side) and Enter in the numeric keypad on the side. For all of my use cases they function identically.

I have had SUCH a pointless week. It's Thursday, apparently? When did that happen?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Is it? I guess it is. I don't think there has been a single day this week when I actually knew what day it was. I'm getting dangerously close to becoming unstuck in time.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Every week Monday-Tuesday last forever and then suddenly it's Friday, and what happened?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

For those of you who like the intersection of Buffista sprog, Matilda is going over to Juliana's today to look after Peanut as mother's helper.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Time, man. In my one encounter each with those children they were both wee, shy things. Apparently I only visit the bay area when there is an under 2 Buffista sprog.

I don't think I've accomplished anything before 10am beyond feeding cats and making coffee until today. Today I have dropped my car off at a shop, gone to the post office, and stopped by a hardware store to buy safety goggles. Now I get to find out what theatrical equipment rental companies are operating and hope to hear that the car repair is reasonable.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Mom fail.

In my sweep of getting Liv off the internet, I failed to delete ONE 11 year old video of her as a toddler and she blew up at me over it last night.

I really do try to honor her wishes to be off the internet but I have a lot of accounts and trying to clean them all has been A CHORE.

And my cuddly oldest now doesn't like physical affection of any sort so I'm sort of just hanging in limbo until they move out and start to miss me again.

OY. It's a guilt buffet here. Something for everyone.

Our wings are not tired.

Aww, I love that, David.

I'm trying to find a car for my son so I don't kill myself with the commute. This is easier said than done. I texted 3 people yesterday with cars he liked. None of them replied. I've given the task over to DH since I really am not the car buyer in the family. 4 hours was taken from my day with the commute yesterday. Best I can hope for is 3. Ugh. Maybe I could enlist the help of my other son since he is super car guy. Part of the issue is that he wants it to be super cheap, which I get, but it is an 80 mile round trip a day and I don't want to head out at midnight to fetch him when if it breaks down either.
