1. Whoever dumped the stupid juice in the water supply, no love at all here for you.

2. I'm helping my BIL clean up his late mother's house Memorial Day weekend. Nope, no conventions, no vacations, no nothing but me, him and anyone else we can find, cleaning up a house in Redlands that is barely passable for the boxes of WTF. Jim is working. I think he's gotten into the better deal. Me, I'm renting a U-Haul. I may need it.

3. I don't have different rules for LJ than I do for RL. Maybe an additional level of detachment, because I can turn off the computer and not check LJ for days at a time. Matter of fact, if it all possible, I try to meet as many people on my LJ in RL as possible.

4. If you're anything but footloose and fancy-free - GOOD. You're normal. If you're down in the dumps, angry and pissed off, less than amused and just in general going WTF - see #1. It's all I got today. Blame it on someone? No.

5. Provided as a follow-up to yesterday's linkage. "The boy's body, dressed in a one-piece sleeper and socks, was wrapped in a blanket and towel and placed in a soft-sided lavender suitcase. A rancher repairing fences spotted the suitcase near a state highway and opened it in November 1999...The death of the baby, known for years only as Baby Moses, led to North Dakota's safe havens law."

6. She plays Karen Filipelli on NBC's The Office, but Rashida Jones hasn't an ounce of Italian in her. The daughter of Mod Squad beauty Peggy Lipton and composer/music mogul Quincy Jones, she’s biracial and Jewish, a “double whammy” of a distinction that she has found challenging and liberating at different times in her life. Something about the language of "(S)he enjoys being something of a chameleon. “I can immerse myself in the cultures and pick and choose what I want and then just be myself. I have all these different groups of friends. The nature of who I am and the fact that I am so many things allows me to float,” explains Jones, who feels strongly connected to both her black and Jewish cultures" that piques my meter. I've said how easy it is in my culture, sitting here in Los Angeles, where white people assume they can "paint" themselves with whatever culture they find attractive to them - discarding the realities that go along with the color of that paint when they find it inconvenient. But then there is the concept of being what you can PASS for. Okay, full stop. That's no better. OR.

Discuss if you wish - I got work to get back to.

If you're having a terrific, wonderful, couldn't-be-better day - good for you. Me? It is Le Suck all over. For everyone I can see within my viewing radius. Glad to provide some balance. You're getting all the karmic benefits today - enjoy.

To the good, I understand it is now Spring. Terrific. I'll be glad to shed one of my three layers in anticipation and begin thinking about drinking cold things instead of scalding.

I also plucked another completely jet-black, curly hair from the back of my otherwise straight, blond to the point of white head. I had a grandfather on Mom's side of the family with this jet black, curly hair - my aunt inherited the curly, but Mom only got the dark hair, straight as a stick. Of the four kids, three made the genetic bingo and got blond hair. The curly, not so much.

But still, I have this patch of very dark, curly hair at the crown of my head. Hello, Grandpa. Maybe, I'd have preferred to know you than just share genes (he died at 59 of a heart attack, LOOOOONG before I was born).

I keep expecting to find them turning white or silver. Naw.

Jim is getting broody. It's endearing and cute and I really would like him to have a small child to cosset, care for and make much of. Another year. At least. Bah.

Out of sorts. Nothing some chocolate and Sims won't cure.

Data will eat me. Wait. That doesn't scan right. *slaps self*

Seriously - work has been so crazed, the bits and bytes that make up my life are doing the hula through my subconscious.

If I am curt, abrupt, or simply appear not to be paying attention - I'm aware of the problem, and steps are being taken to remedy the problem. Stand by. It's not your imagination.

oh wait

Uh, that's what I've been saying so many times it's gotten to be rote. Well, it's true anyway.

IF YOU NEED SHOES ASK ME NOW I DELIVER. SERIOUSLY.

See you tonight at the Norwalk store - and I'm going home at seven! NYAH.

Oh hells. Here, have some novelty records:

Ti Kwan Leep Boot To The Head - The Frantics
Cocktails For Two - Spike Jones

Yes, it's been that kind of week.

Just as busy. Started earlier, ended later and not over yet.

More accomplished, though. That's a plus.

Is it Friday yet?
