I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Always Anti-fascist!

_Watched Big Bang Theory and listened to Sheldon go off about something(staircases, I think) and thought "Huh...I didn't know that."

I am becoming less nerdy as I get older. The nerdiest thing I've done today is update firmware.

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

I don't social media much, so I'm thinking it's not much of an investment. But the favouriting and starring sounds cool.

I also set up a phone one: so that I can call a number to leave myself a memo and it will translate my voicemail and email it to me.

Aha. I have Google Voice, so I can do that automatically by calling myself. BEST THING EVER.

I have been combing through my landline and mobile featuresets now that I feel I've gotten a handle on GV, and I've dropped about $30 off my landline (no, I'm not one of those people who thinks they can do without one entirely) and somehow ended up with free national long distance.

I'm going to go through my TMobile features one more time and see what I can pare down. I used to do this recreationally. It's quite fun. I was the phone bill whisperer for friends and family and would get them refunds.

Ha! I'd love to see anyone else in my immediate family do that. Actually, my sister probably can, no prob, she'd just never bother.

I think my kids have picked up my nerdy slack. Noah is in the living room with a darth vader mask and a foam sword (in penguin jammies) making funny breathing noices. Grace is sittin gin the Big Chair by herself getting a breathing treatment and playing with a kiddie laptop.

Because books.

We need to do that with our cable bill. Our initial set-up deal is over, and wow, did our bill go up. I have to check when Game of Thrones is coming back, and when the new JDM show is starting on Starz, though.

Didn't need to say it twice.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, I think I am not interested in cluttering my google voice account with my own voice memos.

I don't mind having a separate number.

not your mom's socks.

The wolf hoodie. And then we had to go back to Beyonce of course.

as one does. Entirely logical. I've done the same.
