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

mac and I were out shopping/running errands from 8:30 until 1:30. oy vey. We bought almost nothing, but he had money BURNING A HOLE IN HIS POCKET AND OMG NEEDED TO GET A NEW GAME OR SKYLANDERS FIGURE OMG!!!!! We did need to exchange a game that was not working on the Wii and it took 3 Gamestops to find one that was not al scratched to Hell. Also managed 1 return and nabbed a few things on sale that were mostly needed.

Now more cleaning.

My dad is coming over at some point to fix some plumbing stuff at my house. The 1st attempt on Monday was a major PITA that mostly fixed 1 sink, but there is still a slow drip. We want to get that fixed for realz (that is how my dad talks, yo) and then tackle the completely different leak on the kitchen sink. Anyway, it will go a long ways if my house looks better from Monday to now, so doing what I can before he gets there while still trying to chill a bit from all the running around I already did today.

oh, and also apply for some jobs. grr.

You can get a 3D scanner and 3D printer and send a cupcake through the Internet, but it will lose something in translation.

I know what this is! I have a friend who works for Activision and raves about Skylanders.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

msbelle, M got Skylanders yesterday at Target (money, gifts cards, pants on fire) and he LURVESSSSS it! It IS pretty cool!

And now I have to run errands, and then I get to GO OUT TONIGHT BY MYSELF and have drinks with friends; old college friend who is a firejumper is only in town during holidays, and a bunch of us are meeting him at 5ish for drinks and dinner.

The guys are staying in for a boy's night. WOO.

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

When I was little I used to love coming down after a big party and my parents were asleep and all the crackers and cheese and hors d'oeuvres were left out and you could just snack them up for breakfast.

Which I mention because I'm eating post-party-food for lunch, having pub cheese and prosciutto on crackers. It's pretty good.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

What Matt said. We deserve something just for Larry Craig.

It should be like trades between professional sports teams. Luke Evans jumps back in the closet after talking about being an openly gay actor in The Advocate years ago, so Chris Evans helpfully outs little brother Scott to even the score.

Uh oh, this just in: NJ Mayor Chris Meyers has been outed by an escort with an axe to grind (and pictures of the honorable mayor in his underwear)! Sorry Andrew Sullivan, you now have to start dating women. I hear Ann Coulter is single...

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

Timelies all!

I basically had the whole lab to myself today. It was a bit weird.
