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:

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

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.

Because books.

megan, I read the sekrit message. JEALOUS. Also, is new job the one we'd talked about?
