Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S had his 2-year checkup today, so I took the day off. The appointment was at 10:40, and I took him to daycare after. My folks should arrive here in the next couple of hours, so I'm just relaxing here for now.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That makes no sense. He can't possibly be two years old already. He only arrived like a week ago, right?

(Seriously, last night I was remembering something that I thought had happened a few months ago, only to realize it was a year and a few months ago. I think I lost most of this year to my back.)

Uhg, looks like sorms lined up to hit Baltimore the next few hours. Which means no swim. Which given all the shit I need to do this weekend, means I should probably spend tonight cleaning. So fun.

Maybe it'll move north in the next hour?

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

Maybe it'll move north in the next hour?

Or south? I'd love some storms here, and I don't have any swimming plans. I should have cleaning plans [looks at carpet, sighs].

WELP! Just took laundry down and one of the mousetraps I put out in the great invasion this winter had caught one! I don't know when, but it wasn't dried out or anything. Yeaarrrrgh.

Now this means I need a o check those in the basement closets.

I don't want to.

Because books.

We got those storms, around 3 p.m. Torrential, with flash flood warnings! Good times.

Forgot to add, Dana, can't you just email docs to your Kindle? That's the way I do it. Not with a Paperwhite, though, admittedly.

I could, but I have a whole system with collections and fanfic and stuff.
