If only he made a Vorbarr Sultana or "Come to Lovely Sergyar" poster. But I'm not a comics geek or a SW geek nowadays: most of them don't really do it for me, although I do think they're lovely.

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

I decided I'd frame it myself. I don't like making those choices with something I can't touch, which means I'll totally overspend when I do it here.

Kathy, I am so excited for you. Your list of things you want to do, that you'll be able to do in the future, is so wonderful. It's going to be so awesome when you can do them and tell us all about it.

Those, I would get.

I have never counted my underwear. But I suspect I am more in the 30-50 range. With some "why do I still have these?" (style wise or oldness), a lot of regular everyday ones, some "fancy fabric for fancy pants", and some "only wear these when there's someone to see them cause they're too ridiculous otherwise"

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

Heh. On the way home from the East Bay Emmett randomly announced, "Matilda doesn't have a super-ego. But she'll get one next year when she's five."

I inquired further and found out he's reading ahead on his Health and Identity curriculum and has discovered his first dose of Freud.

So tonight as we're putting Matilda to bed, Emmett announced...

Emmett: Matilda, do you know what you get when you turn five? A super-ego.
Matilda: What's...what's a Super Go?
Emmett: No, a super-ego. When you're born you have an Id. When you're two you get an ego. And when you're five you get a Super-ego.
Matilda: [shaking her head vehemently] No! That's not right. I don't want a Super Go!

Then there were some tears shed in refuting Freud.

As is right and proper.

I don't want a Super Go!

Smart girl. It's all guilt and shame and neurosis.

Sure, without it you're a sociopath, but you're happier!

Tiny American flags for some, Happy sociopaths for others!

I really wanted a Wonder Woman DC poster. Or even Paradise Island.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Grrr. I'm starting to get tired of the liquids/pudding only stage of this post-surgery diet. I want something to crunch, damnit!

Maybe you could have these? [link] They dissolve! My 9 mo. old niece adores them.
