I read the hotel information book. What? That's what it's there for!
By "read the hotel information book", you mean "look at what room service offers", right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't believe Emmett is old enough for SATs.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I can't believe Emmett is old enough for SATs.
One year from now he will be (I hope!) opening up college acceptance letters.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am totally right, but we are doing it the more complicated Jason way, because if we didn't he was going to have a nervous breakdown. Sometimes it sucks being the less anal one in a relationship.
You know what's even worse? Being the more anal and organized one when the other one is a bit OCD. Because then the more complicated way is also less organized and less efficient and yet still must be followed to avoid same nervous breakdown.
sigh.

I just found a fascinating series on You Tube: BBC Wartime Farm, a several-part series about a year running a farm in the same way they did during WWII. The bits about the recommended practices--the government advising farmers to switch to gas or electric stoves because coal was needed for the war and how that was hard because most farms weren't on the electric grid so they needed generators--and coping with equipment shortages so that the blacksmiths suddenly became very important again is fascinating.
There's also series for Victorian Farm and Edwardian Farm. The historical stuff available on You Tube is wonderful.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I think I'll check out the Coursera and iTunesU stuff -- I'm unemployed, so I might as well do a bit of self-improvement, right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That was my reasoning, Theo.
This temp agency I signed up with has a bunch of instructional courses available online, too, I'll be exploring those next.

I've clearly been spending too much time unemployed and short on disposable income -- I can't remember the last time I stayed at a hotel. Based on vague memory, though, the first thing I'd do is kick off my shoes, and either collapse on the bed or go look out the window.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got all my errands done yesterday. One of the Jiffy Lube guys managed to break off the door handle on the rear passenger side door. They've ordered a replacement part, so I'll have to go back when it comes in. Sheesh...
