And until it's almost midnight.

I just got twins asleep. Thank god.

My friend C is borrowing our car because her family is in town and staying with her. She left her car for us (a Jeep Sahara) and brought keys by a few days ago. I drove her car out of desperation yesterday.

I had that terrible moment when I could not figure out how to get the key out of the ignition. She had the manual in the glovebox, which was no help, but I did find the button to release the key.

The gutters on that thing though? Super high. Kind of terrifying.

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

ita, you need to give that guy's name to the cops.

He took my police report information and said he'd attach it to his, but I'll call and check up with them tomorrow. Can't remember what the fuck his last name is, but I do have his # and address and he asked me to call him back and tell him they recovered my laptop.

My sister is trying to convince me that Sam Worthington isn't a big blank vortex of zero. In fact, she's not even saying he's a good action hero, but that he's a good actor, period. Is she on crack? Will I hate her if I test her theory? Or should I just wait until he makes that movie I can't not see (the one with Jeffrey Dean Morgan looks like a decent candidate) and judge him then?

Full disclosure: I'm watching a Channing Tatum movie right now, but I heard it was homoerotic as all fuck. Normally I'd wait for the Dean/Castiel fusion, but I have HBO sitting right here...

Next year, for NYE, we should all go to Northumberland and carry tar barrels on our heads: [link]

I don't think sudafed and flaming tar on my head are a good combo.

I don't think ANYTHING and flaming tar is a good combo. It seems like a WTF tradition from Victorian England.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I can't say I disagree with Mr Peabody.

HNY, east-coasties! And the rest of you, since there's no way I'm staying up for any more time zones!
