Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

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

I'm glad your coffee woes worked out, -t. You'll have to give past self a stern talking to about what to pack in the emergency coffee kit.

I should be grading but here I am, not grading. This not grading is getting old! Too bad for me I have to take the kids to the dentist later, so there's more not grading in my future, although I seem to remember they have wifi there, so at least I can squeeze some actual grading in there too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Past me was doing pretty good to get as much packed as she did, I'll give her a pass. Future me has some high expectations to live up to with all this to remind her, though.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The Low Tire Pressure light came on again in my car, so I pulled into a gas station to see what was going on, but then some creepy guys came up to me and started asking me for spare change and touching my arm and shoulder and calling me "sweetheart," so I got back into the car and continued driving home. I'll make an appointment tomorrow to have someone look at the car.

Mac is getting shots today. He's really not happy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The little guy was very well behaved at Chessiecon, so of course he was fussy last night, and is being fussy now.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Ick, Hil. Did the temperature drop recently? Sometimes the contraction of the gas molecules in the tires after a cold snap will be enough to trigger the sensor.

PV=nRT! Sudden temp drops always make mine go off. It's annoying. It's not that hard to put some extra smarts in there!

Gotta bake tonight.

I ran over something a few weeks ago, and the light went on then, and I put some air in the tires and it turned off, but then it came on again this afternoon, so I figured maybe it was a slow leak or something related to that. The light came on in the afternoon, when it was relatively warm out, but it wasn't on in the morning, when it was freezing, and I've never had an issue with the cold making the light come on before, and I've live somewhere with sub-zero temperatures that past several winters.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What kind of activity was it, Jesse?

It was like the Newlywed Game, where you put people in pairs and try to get them to match each other's answers, except with work-related questions.
