I figure if I'm going to tell people I'm in training to be a competitive crossword... doer (which I have, recently), I'd better step it up! I don't think it's a matter of smartness, just a certain kind of skill and knowledge.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I sent Lee off on her own to obtain coffee. I'm not sure that was a good idea.
I survived! and now I have coffee.
I never got into crosswords, because it was always my mom and sister's thing.

WRT to crosswords,
I have never gotten into them before, but now that I spend 3 - 4 hours a day attached to a breast pump, I do crosswords online like mad. I am not smart enough to do the grownup ones, so instead I do the NYT childsized ones online because they are free and I am able to finish.
At this point, I've done them in order down to the Science group (I'm on Electricity and Magnetism). But online is so much easier than pencil and paper.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Another quiet Sunday here. This is a good thing, after the con. (and next weekend we're going to New Jersey for Live Earth)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
mac is doing animal wars and wants to know what can beat a whale?
Exxon Valdez? Or, giant squid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or, giant squid.
Actually giant squid is just whale food as it turns out.
All those epic battles are basically the squid hanging on to the whale's jaw like a toddler tantrum where he's hanging onto the doorframe. "No, no, no, no! Don't eat me! Noooooo......"

There is an AWESOME new kid's book by a b'more artist that relates to this very situation.

I wasn't supposed to be in pictures! But yay for brunching!
So, I came home to see if I had work to do, and I don't. Hmm. I can't decide if I should be happy or sad.
