No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Sparky, I decree that one of your birthday week chores should be posting a recent photo or video of your offspring.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like I should be into the Walking Dead, but eh.

I wonder if I could make money as a bedbug consultant, going in and telling people what to do in their homes.

If you have time, it certainly seems worth putting out there as a thing....

I'll see if I can find the right camera(s) and/or attachments. My DH had a press thing this a.m. because of the North Korea developments, and so he may have everything with him.

My roommate logged on to FB this morning, but I had forgotten to log out the night before, so she was a little confused reading my home page until she figured it out. She proclaimed my friends to be funny and singled out Jessica's posts about TSA and diapers (different posts, I'm pretty sure) to read out loud to me. So, there you have it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It is so very wrong that there are only three Sherlocks. Seriously, I was sure there was a fourth coming and now am heartbroken to have to wait a year. Argh!

I'm hoping a different actor plays Moriarty for the next season. (I can't help it; he didn't seem like an eeeevil genius as much as a tweaky meth head.)

I feel like I should be into the Walking Dead, but eh.

Yeah I can only half watch it. Too annoying. Although last night's had some unexpected interesting stuff.

I am trying to TCB today in a way that will make me less and not more stressy. Results mixed so far.

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

Ugh. Now, I liked The Killing Joke. I thought it was appropriately horrific for a Batfamily Joker tale. But hearing this bit of editorial backstory is icky: when Alan Moore asked if it was okay to maim Babs, "Len got back onto the phone and said, ‘Yeah, okay, cripple the bitch.’”

This morning I went out to my car, and it didn't start up right away and it was making a little clicky noise... which turns out will cost me $750. Drat. At least it didn't happen on my birthday, and it is happening over a few days when we don't need two cars.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Friends on FB found the cutest puppy in Dallas, probably less than a year old. DJ, if you know anyone interested give me a holler. Not sure if this will be visible: [link]

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

My sister and sister-in-law dressed up my nephew Simon as Captain Hammer for Halloween. I've been waiting and waiting for a picture. Adorable!

There's a few more new pictures in the same set. He's gotten so big. I envy his eyelashes.
