God, I was so glad to get out of my brother's house that day. Apart from meeting you in person, that was easily my worst vaca ever.

He's eleven now. Old enough to be practically an adult, while still young enough to be a pain in the butt lol

I think it was called Dirty Harry Jumps the Shark or something. It had Jim Carrey's first on-screen appearance. Or at least I seem to remember you telling me. I don't know why anyone would lie about that.

Oh god, yes, I think you're right.  What a train wreck that was. |

I remember having fun riffing on it, though. It was actually the perfect capper to a week full of my brother and Mom arguing politics.

Yes! That Thai boy's soccer team lost in the cave were found alive! I have to admit, I didn't hold out a lot of hope in the matter.

Managed a bit of financial wrangling and got a loan to consolidate all of my outstanding debts (aside from the house and car.) It feels nice to have a bit of breathing room.

Two financial smilies:
1) After a day and a half of worrying that something had gone wrong with my mileage-reimbursement check -- because I got the little slip telling me how much they were giving me without the automatic deposit happening -- I not only got it, but it was $40 more than I was expecting.
2) I was starting the car to go to work when I realized I hadn't written my check to mail out this month's condo dues. It's been a tight month monetarily and instead of having money to put in savings, I actually had to take money OUT of savings to cover a big expense. This, on top of the missing mileage reimbursement. So I stumped back into the house to find the payment coupon book and a postage stamp, and when I got upstairs I discovered that I am actually a month ahead on condo dues and don't have to pay again until Sept 1st.

We got our PTO payout for the year on this check. Woo! Parent-Teacher Organization? |

What does one wear to an event like that? I would have no idea how to show up. I plan on wearing a sport coat with a KKFOS t-shirt underneath. Probably have my KKFOS pins on my lapels. You should carry the clown's-head-on-a-string I sent you and swing it in a debonair fashion, the way Maurice Chevalier swings his umbrella during a musical number... |

I discovered that everything I used to read about Venus flytraps in the funnypages is true. I fed the plant 3 crickets over the last 2 days and already new little traps are springing up from the base.
It's nice to be in charge of the flytrap situation myself. When I was a kid I was at the mercy of my mom, who was very much into letting things die slowly of neglect.

I finally got around to watching The Mutations (1975), and oddly enough - on the same day that K.G. made the post above.  Sure, it might be random coincidence...or not! |

Today has been exceptionally craptastic, in a craptastic month that has followed several craptastic months. But I have one itty bitty thing to be glad for. Today, at my local greengrocer, I found boxes and boxes of name-brand tampons on the clearance rack (which happens to be right next to the refrigerated chicken breasts, but that's just coincidental). I know this won't mean much to most of all y'all here...but 34 Kotex tampons per box for a whopping $2.75. In the useful mid-range absorbencies that generally cover most situations. I could not believe my eyes. It was like Christmas in (almost) July. Speaking to you as a fellow female, I'm thrilled by your good luck. And baffled by it. Nobody ever puts name-brand tampons on clearance. As in, never. Did they have biohazard stickers on them by any chance? |

Is this where we joke that PiF's prison name is "Toxic Shock Syndrome"?

I may have gone a bit overboard with the tampon stockpiling, as storing the undamaged boxes takes up about a quarter of the half-bathroom I claim as my very own.
But in a couple thousand years, when my black sarcophagus is dug up and opened, my remarkably well preserved body will be cushioned, surrounded by tampons like so many packing peanuts.

And the archaeologists will interpret them to be proof of someone's pet theory that Californians in the 2000s worshipped lipstick blotters and tried to take them to the afterworld when they died.
"They MUST be lipstick blotters. So many of the ones we find have those red smears on the ends."
