Didn't even notice this. Look at that little face.

I'm Shocked! My SIL called me when my brother's surgery started and discussed Inchoate Plans. But they are plans! - I am supposed to call them when I get in and they will either pick me up at the airport or tell me to call a cab. For this group, that is a plan. - Also, I will go with my SIL to take my nephew to day care on Thursday so I know where it is and they can explain all the presumed fancy push buttons in the whatever it is (Beamer/Mercedes). We will then return me to the domicile and she will head off to work. - Other plans: They had to cancel my nephew's bday party, so maybe they will have that this weekend. Or not, depending on how my brother feels. Or there is a big Christmas fair somewhere in San Francisco and maybe we will go to that. Or maybe Friday night my SIL will have girls' night with some friends and include me. And if my brother is feeling well enough, I can wander off and have Monday to myself. I'm impressed. This is a lot of planning coming fr...

Oh, dear, lol. Much kerfuffle about whether it's satire or just disrespectful. I'm not sure why it can't be both, wink. (This link has a strategically placed picture of the artist in front of the naked PM so it should be SFW.) http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/11/24/harper-nude-painting-portrait-sale_n_8640220.html http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/11/24/harper-nude-painting-portrait-sale_n_8640220.html

I'm going to SF to help because my brother is having surgery and they have a one year-old. My SIL and I kept trying to connect to talk ahead of time about what was what, but that was at best a 1/10 success. Ergo, I am going with very little info, and my parents talk about their apt/condo like there's very little in it insofar as food or toiletries and other stuff. I mean, they obviously have stuff for the baby, but I haven't a clue as to schedules, food/cooking, when I need to be at the condo and when I don't. Guess I'll find out when I get there. I am taking a guess as to what sort of clothing I should have, since there was a suggestion that excursions might occur, depending on how people are feeling. If you know me, you know having no plan and little info makes me uncomfortable. Is anxious making. I'm also still infinitely asymptotically approaching recovery from the stupid URI. Yay.

Dad gets bonus points for somehow figuring out that the way back back of the storeroom needed to be investigated and finding mice. I have no idea what visual clue tipped him off, because there weren't droppings. Upon inspection, however, there was a bag of rice that had been nibbled and a bag of dried egg noodles likewise. Put out traps, and behold, small rodents. So far, we've only caught two and no other food stuffs seem to have been pillaged. Traps remain out, and strategies for relocating foodstuffs are under consideration. Oddly, the two mice may have been different species. One, which I didn't see personally, was probably a house mouse, as it was described as gray. However, the one I did see was hopefully just a field mouse/white footed mouse, not a deer mouse, as the latter is more likely to carry nasty things. They look awfully similar, with their brown coats and white bellies. It'd be odd to see either, really, since we live in a suburb, and not one of those le...

I know a lot of (all of?) you have quit the Dr. Who train long since due to the abysmal trend in awfulness. I though this season was finally starting to get better. Uneven, but a critically tiny bit better. I mean, I really liked the Hero of Rock Doctor. Why didn't they do something with that? Then I saw tonight's episode (Heaven Sent). I cannot even. An hour (well, with commercials) of utterly pointless, and likely expensive budget, stupidity. It is so poorly done that the music was stupid. No, really. That was the worst match up of scoring and can I call it a story line? ever. If it's gotten to the point where I'm criticizing the music, it's pretty bad. Your derivative Beethoven would have been great if this was a sweeping drama with the scope of War and Peace . Spoilers: it's not. Is this a spoiler? Don't care. In the category of theatrical devices to be used only with purpose and care, we have The Monologue. It is incredibly pointless and boring to liste...

ION, I am confused as to how I could have ended up one of the most open minded members of my immediate family. And yet. It makes me feel, well, more weird and isolated and naive and generally less hopeful for the world.
