Just tell me: is Tim Hutton's character sexy and/or evil? That's really the bottom line, for me.

He is not evil. Sexy is up to you. Kind of frazzled.

(Isn't he always kind of frazzled?)

Loved Kidnapped - watched it when it aired and then netflixed it.

He gets very focussed and determined. His hair slicks back and that might trigger what works for you.

It's wrapping up the final ep now, and welly well well.

Off the topic of Kidnapped, having watched something else I don't want to spoil, Tim Hutton being evil doesn't always work out sexy or well. But that was just a dumb movie.

I saw the same graffiti today on two different store signs -- a six-pointed star with three little lines at the end of each point. Anyone know what it means? Googling is giving me nothing. I saw it on an ice cream parlor and an anti-poverty nonprofit.

Painter just came by and I showed him all the marked spots. He said he'd do the touch ups tomorrow, finish my bedroom and start the bathroom. That gives me a breather on getting the kitchen cleared out. I should go to the grocery right now.

I fucked up and managed to get a computer virus, that nasty Security Tool one. I had to go through Microsoft's customer service people to have someone share my computer and wipe it off. I'm currently running a full scan on the hard drive to make sure I don't have anything else.

After my expensive week, I really didn't need this.

P-C, my fiance is utterly delighted with "Axe Cop."

It is utterly delightful! The art is really good, which makes the ridiculous things being drawn even better.

Sorry, but I have to gloat.

Last week I did our taxes with Turbo Tax online.

Today the federal refund hit the bank account.

I'm in love and will not be doing the taxes by hand ever again. Idiot me never thought to subtract the 401k deductions until the program said, "Oh, you can use this!" Doi!

There is additional glee, because the disability just paid for its years of frustration by erasing Hubby's decades-old student loan, which has denied us a federal refund for said decades. Whee!

These are by far the most bizarre cookies ever, and that is before all the weird shit I threw in them. The dough is just too dense to be believed. The water content in my brown sugar was pretty pathetic, but still.

I'm making lime and white chocolate cookies, half with pistachios and half with chile lime cashews. I have no idea how this will end.

I've still got to start cleaning, but not until the baking is done. Don't know if I'm getting to dyeing hair tonight..
