I too want puppy pictures!

Not only is all of my laundry put away, but I got all but one of the things on my to do list, and even that thing was something I looked and and thought about and then decided I could just do it tomorrow.

ALL YOUR GOLD STARS ARE BELONG TO ME.

Helena, two more girl "grey" names: Griselda and Grimalkin. Well, they're not strictly either girl or grey, I just think of them that way.

Puppy pictures would be good!

School is closed today for cold! It is 17 degrees. Okay, it is very windy and feels like 0, but seriously? Last week we had MLK Day off, then a day off for snow (it was actually snowing during the morning commute), then 3 days of 2-hour delay for cold (with temps under 10 degrees.) I am so tired of this shit!

flea, you are singing the song of all my east coast/midwest parent friends. When are you all going to get out of school at the end of the year? July?

Well, on looking at the actual forecast, by noon it will be 0 and feeling like -15, so it makes sense to cancel in this high-poverty, high-bussing district. And overnight they're talking wind chills of -30, so we will almost certainly be closed tomorrow. We were scheduled to finish about June 1, but I heard they take the make-up days out of spring break before extending the school year here.

Way to go, Lee!

Give Me One Reason, the Tracy Chapman song? How is that gaslighting? The light up clothes I heard about on FB because I went to college with the woman whose company makes those (pretty much any outfit on TV that lights up is hers) and she mentioned it. I tend to like the idea of her stuff more than the actual outfits.

Sorry, flea, that's got to be tough to deal with.

Ask Touch of Honey who beat out Elvis Costello.

Still bitter about that. Seriously.

Nada surf? I've never even heard of nada surf--should I have? Am I super out of it?

Didn't Nada Surf do the Buffy theme song, or am I misremembering my 90s alt-bands?

That was Nerf Herder

-t, do you know the name of that company?
