I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have pictures! New Alterbaby pictures (that Tom took), and Tom pictures, and Jesse pictures. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Why not?

Happy, for now.

I never made my picture face.

And yet? Total cutie patootie.

Completely unrelated, except that we were talking about at lunch. On the flight yesterday, I was sitting on an aisle seat, and the people across the aisle were a couple whose teenager kids were sitting a few rows away and kept coming up to talk to their parents, so they ended up standing like 6 inches away from me. The daughter was wearing fairly short shorts, and her mother kept stroking her thigh.

That was kind of strange, and offputting.
