Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I still hug my friends

Do you hug them if it's been all of two hours since you last saw them? Because that's what I recall from school.

It seemed more like a social display, but that's just a theory. Heck, maybe the kids I remember just felt moved to express their sincere affection for each other in a highly visible way several times a day, and it had no connection to social rank and popularity. Maybe they behaved the exact same way when they weren't in public.

...Oh, my. I crack myself up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

When I was still in manufacturing, our pneumatics company supplied parts to Chuck E. Cheese. Therefore I am, in small part, responsible for the misery that giant singing animatronic rodents have inflicted on you.

Also, we sent parts to Eurodisney.

And also to some nuclear facility in Indonesia.

I think I may be responsible for the coming animatronic zombie apocalypse.

This too shall pass.

Happy Birthday to Gud! I sincerely hope you have a culinary treat that erases any memory of Chuck E Cheese pizza.

Clovis says you just shot up the list for this month's "Good Minion!" competition.

Happy Birthday, Gud! May your dinner be Chuckless.

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

Happy Birthday Gud!

Over the last two days, I've spent 8 hours cut and pasting information about Delaware IP litigation into a spread sheet.

Can I punch Tino in the face now?

information libertarian

I also want a netbook. A fact which my husband has steadfastly ignored since before Christmas, basically because he refuses to buy anything that's not made by Apple.

Hello, I am more tipsy than I've been in a long time, due to my neighbor serving mojitos while we watched our kids ride bikes. She said they had only one shot in them. I doubt it.

On the other hand, I kind of love my neighborhood, and it's too bad we have kids or I'd be playing Spock/Uhura with my husband.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I want a netbook. I WANTZ IT. Who wants to buy me one?

Which one are you interested in? I strongly suggest finding models to type on before getting one, if you are planning on writing with it. The 9" models are easier to find a purse that fits 'em, but my hands, though tiny, cramp up easily enough that I went with one that's in a 10" chassis.

I can't buy you one, but you can benefit from my exhaustive research that went into my decision to get a Asus Eee PC 904HA.
