Since we're talking about names [I've rarely used a pseud, mostly because I get all weird about "what is this expressing? what does this make people think I'm trying to say" about it and then it's just easier to default to real name or variation therof], ANYWAY, I need to share that I am working on a global project and the person we are proposing as a key lead in China is named "Beyond Yu". Oy.

I've got a user whose registered self assigned user id in our database is something obscene. And the poor thing is stateside, very fluent in english and oh-so polite and prim ( she blushes when she says stupid,) I can't imagine what she was thinking. I guess she wasn't?

This evening I managed to slice my index finger while taking apart my new blender so I could wash it only moments after mocking the instructions about not sticking your hand in the blender while it's on. Typing now difficult.
And then I had to dig in the dumpster for that air pillow package material that I'd tossed out yesterday so I could securely pack an Amazon return item that came in an enormous box with other things I'm keeping.
My shoulder hurts, my finger hurts, and I appear to have left my dignity in my other pants.

I KNOW that I'm not the only one who wants to know what it is.
Not even sort of. Do tell, sarameg.
So in my three days of summer vacation so far, Grace's nurse has been 90 minutes late 3 of those days. Awesome? Today, I had the very expensive injection coil replaced on my car along with forgetting to take Noah his lunch to school (again, Mom of the Year material here, baby!). I did however swim most of my swim workout. Or at least 2500 yards of it. But I didn't get to yoga. It seems life is conspiring to make it either swim day or yoga day.
I also got a Charlie and Lola DVD from the library (WIN) that I'm going to try to burn (bad library user). And the Schiff Cleopatra bio.
I'm giving up on March. Historical fiction related to the Civil War = snore. I still have a few days to finish Swamplandia.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
How are you liking Swamplandia?
Also v. curious here about the naughty userid.

It's slow so far. I'm glad I got it as a library book and didn't buy it but I don't regret reading it...
I also just finished Girl in Translation and I'm so damn angry that I slogged through it. What a waste. On the other hand, What Alice Forgot? Super fun to read!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My first online name was billytea, over at Time Online. It's been a good fit for me.

I've got a user whose registered self assigned user id in our database is something obscene.
When we were choosing our usernames at Rice, we were told that you couldn't change it once you registered it. They spoke of one notable exception, however: one Teresa Watkins who innocently used her first initial and last name.
