Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Because books.

Brace yourself.

I was shocked by the end of Envy, and read the teaser chapter, so I'm definitely braced.

The only custom plates I would want would say GET OFF MY ASS, which probably isn't allowed.

I have my initials tattooed on me. More vain than a vanity plate? Probably!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Is it CAS/ITA! you want for your plate, ita !? It is, isn't it?

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

I have one desire for a custom plate, but it has my name on it, so never mind. That's too vain, even for me.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

Toddson, do you have IT support? Because your boss' issue is their problem not yours!

I guess I'm still a Farscape fan, because that license plate made me think of Pirate DRDs (which are the little roomba-like maintenance droids on the ship).

Toddson--if you use Outlook, you can put a receipt request on your emails. It's kind of annoying, but it will prove that your manager has seen your email.

I was searching my Yahoo email account for something recently (that's the account with my full name on it, and that I only use for shopping and job applications), and I discovered porny spam in the Sent folder. Apparently last September, before I changed my password again, I sent penis-enlarging emails to the Big Boss here. YIKES.

Happily, I'm sure it ended up in his spam folder. But seriously, yikes!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Speaking of vain, I bought Chicken Serenada the other day, just because, and...hey! Kinda tasty.

I thought of you when I saw that at TJ's the other day!

We are part of a private swim club, but the pool is indoor and attached to the Y, so maybe not so much? We aren't fancy. We just hang with the oldsters.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, I was trying to figure out which DRD the car was named after.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We mostly swim at the Y, which is indoor, but there's a couple nearby public pools that are outdoor that we use from time to time. But I have to say the UCLA Rec Center pools kick serious ass over the other two options, because it's as much a park as a pool, and it has an upper and lower pool and it's just lovely. Wish I had a membership.

Ugh, I am having parenting issues. Isaac grabbed someone by the throat yesterday at school, one of his friends. That's bad. he used to grab my throat when he was a toddler and so we've had talks about why it's dangerous and not to do it. And he hasn't choked anyone in YEARS, but now this. My son is becoming a bully. sigh.

Not sure what to do that we aren't already doing, but clearly what we are doing isn't working.
