Dana, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

The status is NOT quo.
Java, I do think Echo is a lovely idea for a name, but I keep thinking what elementary and middle school is going to be like for her. I think she'll end up loving it later in life, but I have a feeling she won't always feel that way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Echo is a fine name as long as the parents aren't Dollhouse fans. Then it gets a little weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got through school well enough with an alternative first name. It can be done.
Also, what Jessica said.
How do people traverse tumblr? I have gotten a couple provocateuse likes and reblogs from people I don't know and who aren't following it.

I'm watching the Nova about dogs On Demand and it's really good. Very interesting.
And I'm (finally) using my umbrella swift properly. (Although, I misplaced a crucial part to my ball winder so I'm just hand winding it.) And my cat is fast asleep right in front of it. That is the good part of having an older cat. A kitten would not allow this to happen in front of her without inciting chaos.

Interesting. My sister asked me to Priceline her a hotel room. I'm assuming those prices are pre-tax? When I called the hotel directly it gave me a different (lower) price, which is also lower than the price you get when you look them up on the JFK airport website. That doesn't seem fair.

Nilly,
We're doing fine, thanks. As for my pixels, I have been churning out a lot of them lately since I'm doing NaNoWriMo, though I doubt it will be anything that people will ever see. Carla told me that there is a theory that you first have to write a million bad words before you reach the good ones, so I am just trying to work my way past them at the moment.

Dana, my condolences.
Sue, that's fantastic! Wanna come do my stairs?
So I'd planned on doing the leaves this morning. Yeah, that didn't happen. When I finally went out to go to the pool...the leaves were done! Neighbor Anna did them this morning! I guess doing hers a couple weeks back got me that. Tree still isn't done, so I guess next weekend, I'll do them. Meant I did have time to run out looking for a dress. Nothing found.
Neighbor kid came by for his school fundraiser, which is kinda a cool one. Instead of buying crap, you buy a charity gift. You can pick which programs. They've got local ones (meals for kids, Bea Gaddy, etc) and international ones (clean water, vitamins, etc.) [link] Anyway, I asked him to tell me which was his favorite and why. He was positively evangelical about mosquito nets for malaria because " stops bug bites that KILL KIDS!" He was really appalled by this. So of course, I had to do one of those.
