Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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?

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].

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.

That makes sense.
