I wanna go hang at Liese's for a weekend and shoot stuff and enjoy the desert!!

ION, before I go make myself presentable for public viewing (i.e., putting on pants and slapping on some makeup) before I head to a friend's birthday gathering, I just bought a Wolverine costume for M for Purim.

I am so petty. His mom was like "If you wanna be Wolverine for Purim, your dad will have to buy it for you."

FUCK YOU, DONE! You're lucky I can't afford REAL retractable claws, woman!!

And he and his stepdad are watching The Hulk movie tonight, so screw your bitching about "No PG-13 movies" chick -- we are having an X-Men and Marvel superhero movie FESTIVAL this summer, and you can SUCK IT. And yes, M, you CAN watch the Avengers this summer. BOO-YAH.

I try not to be petty, but he'll be 10 in two months! SUPERHEROES ARE A GO, and I embrace my superhero-inspired pettiness!

Now Imma go curl my hair.

I hate having to leave the door open to (somewhat) avoid the smell. And both washer and dryer take so freaking long to do a load. Not a fan of the HE.

Hm. My HE washer and dryer are distinctly quicker than my old regular ones. I don't know for sure if I HAVE to leave the lid up on the washer to avoid the smell, I just do. I can close the doors to the laundry room, er, closet, so the cats can't jump into the washer, which is my main concern. Of course, Leo already did jump into the washer, and jumped right back out, so I really shouldn't worry about it.

Remind me not to piss off Liese or Erin!

I went to Chewbacchus. It was fun! They were so grateful to have people watching. I watched it twice. Favorite floats were a Bantha built on a bike frame ridden by a Jawa, and Torchwood NOLA pushing an impounded TARDIS. No Captain Jack, though. Glad I braved the rain and cold for it.

Now I'm debating going to run the errands that I didn't run earlier... if I don't, I will not be able to do them tomorrow due to a marathon day of parades.

Oh, and my parents' HE toploader w/out agitator sounds charmingly like the TARDIS.

Jesse, I always wanted those drying racks you pull down from the ceiling, like in Victorian kitchens. Not that our current ceiling is anywhere near high enough, but still.

My neighbor has this one from IKEA, and it's great.

I have one too, but it's still in the box because I didn't realize when I bought it that my bathroom has a tiled ceiling. So I'm saving it for when we move in a couple years.

I've been seeing ads for washing machine cleaner, which sounds so crazy to me, but apparently some people need it?

I use Bac-out because I cloth diaper and live in a very small apartment. If I were in a house and the washer were in the basement, I probably wouldn't bother.

When you're not on wi fi, what network does it use?

Whoever AT&T's local partner is, I think. And not all Kindles will work internationally - the first 2 generations were on Sprint, so no GSM.

Oh, balls. I took the trap off my sink, and that's not where the blockage is. I couldn't get the snake very far in, either.

So I went down into the crawlspace and it doesn't look good: the drain pipe has a bunch of dried hair and gunk around the outside at one of the joins. Damn it.

So I guess I will be calling a plumber on Monday. YIKES. Home ownership: so much fun!

Remind me not to piss of Liese when she's holding her bow.

Ha! I never point my bow at anything I don't intend to kill. Well, hit, anyway, I dunno how killed my target can get.

Hee. You are always welcome!

Ewww, Consuela.

Man, I do *not* want to go out in the rain. Somebody talk me into it.

I usually put white vinegar in the fabric softener reservoir, and I think that helps keep the smell at bay.

Go smonster! I already accidentally talked us out of the house concert, which was a mistake, so we're already at capacity for Buffistas backing out of fun stuff for the evening. Go, and then I'll feel better by you having fun.

Oh, I'm not having fun. I'm going to the pet and grocery stores. But part of my purchases will be for the long day of parades tomorrow - six of them near me, starting at 9 am.
