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

We're watching the movie Matilda which is confusing for my daughter who yells out things like, "Now I'm older" when they cut to the older Movie!Matilda.

But I'm struck by what a romance this is between Matilda and Miss Honey. I mean, I certainly understood that it was about their relationship, but it's really about them falling in love with each other. (Not in the slashy way. But in that student/teacher, friend way.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Except I'd take a sharpie and cross out "Wonder" and write "Hostage."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Perhaps hipsters won't be so sad now that we have... hipster puppies.

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

Huh. Mara Wilson (Matilda) is 22 now.

Here she is today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh! I just found another shirt in my quest to finish up the Justice League. It's not distressed like my Batman or Flash or Supes, but sparkle! Oh, they almost have the right Wondie--I just don't want the ring.

Scrappy that's awesome!

Also awesome: I made it back to Seattle from the Snowpocalypse!! Just barely but I did! ...and now I have to do a bunch of work and crap before leaving for Oakland again in the morning. Agh. And my apartment is a crazy mess and it's making me insane and I need to pay bills and stuff. Whoah.

Oh good, meara! I was worried about you getting out.

My palms are bruised. I can't see the bruises, but when grasping a doorknob makes you gasp, they are bruised.

And I get to do this again thursday.

And I am really worried about the roof.It'll be 28"+ 10-20" of heavy snow. Not.Good. And I have no way of getting up there and no one knows anyone to call.

Sigh....

We used our Groupon for the Melting Pot today and had really yummy cheese fondue followed by wine fondue followed by chocolate fondue. We had to have all three courses because I wanted cheese and K wanted chocolate.

Am stuffed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Motherfuckers. The credit card payment that I fucked up last week? The direct payment they were going to take out of our account failed (even though the guy had the information and we confirmed it). Did they notify us? NO. So now they've slapped a late charge on it and a returned payment fee.

Their "24-hour service"? Closed. I am livid.
