"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Thank you Ginger.

The developer of homes in my neighborhood took the cheap way out on most things. The previous owners took the cheap way out on the rest (except the furnace) so I wouldn't be surprised at anything.

erika, there's a great review of "Three Men and Adena" up at AV Club (where they're going back and reviewing Homicide).

Compassionately intolerant

Vortex, I had my disposer replaced recently by my landlord's "A guy I know." Actually, Dennis, the plumber is a good guy, if not super available.

If you need a referral for the machine and/or installer, I can dig up the information tomorrow.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Went to brunch with Gary's mom. Later, dinner with Gary's dad and stepmom. (As usual, a visit from my parents involves a lot of food.)

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

So, I spent this weekend taking a hard look at my closet (as Pix should have done!) and am taking a couple of bags to Goodwill on the way to the market. I'm finally getting rid of things that probably should have gone long ago, those middle-of-the-road office items that weren't particularly flattering but filled out my wardrobe. New office can be jeans, but I'll need a few more professional outfits for client meetings.

Speaking of which, anybody have an HSA through work rather than standard insurance? If so, like it? hate it? I have a choice, but given the respective premiums and deductibles, the HSA coverage seems pretty comparable. From a budget perspective, I like the idea of HSA money carrying over into the future, but I don't have a deductible at all now so I've never had to think about it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Getting ready to make me some of this:

OMG This soccer game is KILLING ME.

Abby Wambach is my HERO. Well, Hope Solo is. Well, and Rapinoe. Wow, such a game.

Spoilers: US is down one player and yet scored the tying goal in the second-to-last minute of overtime, and now we're into a penalty-kick shootout! SO EXCITING.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I keep thinking of things I should be doing around the apartment, but I think some slipped extra lethargy into my coffee this morning, and I have the sneaking suspicion that none of them are going to get done.
