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

oh man y'all. We have moved into "Job will probably start in a week and a half so make the most of your remaining free days" mode.

Last night I fixed a broken arm on my couch. Today I removed the busted medicine cabinet from the master bath, cleaned off the dresser in my room, re-hung some pictures in my room (needed wire to hang them, they had been up with yarn), mostly cleaned off my make-up/jewelry table, mailed off three boxes, cleaned out the hall closet and got it organized, helped my dad fix mac's closet doors, and unpacked a plastic bin of stuff from storage.

My mom made me make a list of 5 things I want to get done before work starts and 2 of them we did today so YAY!.

Maybe tomorrow I can get 1 more done. Sunday I will try to do some yard work in between football.

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

2012 is on TV! I have no idea what's going on, except for stupidity. But I saw Johann! Hi, Johann! Hope you made a major downpayment on your house with this one!

Shannen Doherty is getting an online Liberal Arts degree. Am I being punked?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Go, msbelle, go!

I had fancy cheese fries for dinner. There were just supposed to cushion my first drink, but they were super filling, so I think they might be dinner.

My dinner tonight is lime-drizzled, parmesan-crusted chuck eye steak, twice baked stuffing, and steamed russet potatoes, carrots, and snap peas.

hwæt

Is Shannen Doherty exhibiting any of the signs?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shannen Doherty is getting an online Liberal Arts degree. Am I being punked?

She's definitely doing ads for one of those companies.

So, one of those couples trying to have a "gender free" child has now told the world it's a boy. [link] Here's the thing that irked me about the article:

The big no-no's are hyper-masculine outfits like skull-print shirts.

Really?? Skull-print is "hyper-masculine"? You can not want your pre-schooler wearing skulls, but that's a stupid reason.

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

Really?? Skull-print is "hyper-masculine"? You can not want your pre-schooler wearing skulls, but that's a stupid reason.

One of the girlier girls in Matilda's class wears a pirate skull sweater three days out of five.

Still, his mom is intervening. While the school requires different uniforms for boys and girls, Sasha wears a girl's blouse with his pants.

"I don't think I'd do it if I thought it was going to make him unhappy, but at the moment he's not really bothered either way."

He's a kid, not a manifesto. You want him to wear the girl's blouse, it sounds like. It doesn't make it sound like it's his choice.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Skull-print is "hyper-masculine"?

Anne Bonny might have something to say about that.

Er, not that she wore skull print. But she probably had a skull flag, and if she didn't, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW. Just give me my illusions about the bad-ass ladypirate.
