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.

I was the phone bill whisperer for friends and family and would get them refunds.

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.

I am glad you all are picking up the nerd slack.

what has become of me, I cannot even find new things to put on my wish list.

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.

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

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

I guess the nerdiest thing I've done today was attend a talk about "Forgotten inventions of the Victorian era" at Darkovercon.

Wow, that wolf hoodie is frightening.

I had decided that since I don't have to attend any Christmas parties, and it's not a big eating holiday for my family (as in we don't have a big traditional meal I want to gorge on, though we'll probably have a nice one), that I should re-start my diet and exercise plan tomorrow. This is in peril due to finding speculoos spread at Trader Joe's. I want to go buy it. WANT.

In other news, I sent a drama-provoking but possibly necessary and totally awkward email to my umfriend who visited. It was not the most awesomest visit ever, and I'm unclear if that should be a "ok, tried that, failed, let's give up" or a "let's try again and be better at being more awesome". And I know I can't unilaterally decide the latter, and I'm not so sure the former isn't a better idea anyway. But I'm loathe to give up on possibility.

So you have a number dedicated to voice memos?

I only dictate them so I can have the transcribed text in the cloud, NSM the audio.

We need to do that with our cable bill.

Cable bills are a bitch. Who's good at that? Vortex? I don't think I've ever gotten shit, and now I realise I don't remember when my HBO introductory period runs out. I need to go back into my files/the TV listings and see when I signed up. Starz was just ridiculously expensive. I should keep an eye out for a special there.

Kat, do you think if Noah were older he'd make Grace play and be Vader? Or am I just a bad person for thinking that? Because I would totally make my sister with a trache be Vader *all* the time.

If you're a bad person so am I.
