You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

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

Dag, Matilda was doing her homework which involves drawing a picture and writing a sentence regarding the book she just read.

So she copied (not traced) a picture of a horse in the book and it's really good. Horses are hard! I mean, if I drew that horse I'd be patting myself on the back for a week. It's got excellent proportion, good linework and some expressionistic details on the mane.

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

I was on a conference call with a business user that was changing her mind and forgetting a requirement we'd explicitly set, so I was predictably irritated, and precisely as I hung up my home phone, my work phone rang over the PC--the project manager I just hung up with somehow managed to call me before I could set my phone down.

Which of course means it's really important, right? Yes, he assures me.

What's a good dark rum?

I haven't been able to work out if he knew I was at home and could check my liquor cabinet (which took way too long and made way too much noise), or he expected me to have the precise recommendation off the tip of my tongue.

I told him to get the 12 year old Appleton, in case you're about to go shopping.

Jamie Lee Curtis is on NCIS tonight, and I'm going to have to assume her line about being lactose intolerant was a meta joke.

OK, someone on the East Coast tell me Glee gets better? Because at the moment (all of 20 minutes in on DVR delay) it's just freakin' depressing me!

Because books.

Better is sort of a relative term with Glee, you know? It does get less depressing, but then ...

IT'S CALLED GLEE. ARE THEY LYING?

HAH! I was totally thinking that as I posted. But yes, it has gotten less depressing (if just as eye-rolling and head-shaking).

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

Hec, I would like to see Matilda's horse picture. You should scan it and hang it on our virtual refrigerator.

Anyone want to offer an opinion on this jacket? [link]

I like that jacket, it's pretty and it has what I look for first in outerwear: an abundance of pockets. Especially inside pockets. I just bought a navy blazer because it has FOUR inside pockets!

OMG it only got better for like, a MINUTE. And then it was eye-rolling MORE THAN EVER and there was NO HSQ because OMG IT IS SO OBVIOUS AND CLICHED!

That ad with the black guy in the brown suede jacket in the car dealership with the singing confidence? Freaks me out. It's like he's got a tentacle with a falsetto singing voice and no sense of what's appropriate (if we can't have well-behaved singing tentacles, what can we have?). I don't want to use cars.com now. Suppose I get a rude head?

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

Y'all are reminding me why I couldn't get into Glee, despite the song and dance parts. The rest of it is so often watch-from-the-hallway.
