We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Little box heaters were on clearance at Target

Oh man, I really need one for my bathroom. Brr.

"OK, our feature film today, Graders in the Park, the gripping story of the men who run the big machines that keeps the roads passable in our national parks."

Snerk.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'd love to live so close to the Chaco Canyon ruins site!

It was great. Although even then, after 20 minutes on that washboard road, our guests were always thinking to themselves, "I don't know what could possibly be at the end of this road that is worth this road." But it was!

Man, I am kicking ass productivity-wise today. I finished address changes, my Arizona annual report, two email campaigns, and an awkward email about how I found this uncashed check from a year ago and what should I do with it?

AND I did laundry. Next up, budget numbers!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Inspired by previous conversation, I'm on Ancestry.com and I'm so frustrated. Now I remember why I quit using it before. I found my father in the 1930 Census - he was 7 - and I'm trying to get information on his first marriage. I entered all the information I have on him, and it's returning thousands of search results from everywhere, like Australia and Wales, places where I know he never went, and nothing from Michigan or any state where I know he lived. So in order to get more information, apparently I need to have more information.

And they don't have any census information after 1930. Shoot, the census was the only useful thing I ever found!

Coding and Sleeping

I have a grammar question. When should I capitalize, well, not names exactly, but references to people. I think I have it but I wanted to check.

Names, easy enough, always capitalize.

Could you get that for me, Jim?

Specific nicknames, the same as names, got that too.

Could you get that for me, Fuzzface?

Terms of endearment, non specific, so not capitalized. Right?

Could you get that for me, dear?

Non-specific nicknames also not capitalized. Right?

Could you get that for me, pipsqueak?

Non-specific references also not capitalized. Right?

Could you get that for me, young man?
Could you get that for me, girl?

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

OMG these panties (on a model, so check who's watching over your shoulder) are so cute! If they didn't look like they'd totally show through most everything I own, I'd be tempted to get them. Okay, they're also pretty pricey. These would be great period panties, except not in white...

Sorry! I also did payroll liabilities, shredded and filed, and watered the plants.

If it's any consolation, I'm still behind overall, but I'm making progress, finally!

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

I think I found Dita's cat! [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's a cute cat.
