My weekend with a bullet:

* I have become one of those people who asks, "Do you wanna see something gross?" with the kind of glee normally only found in three year old boys with a reptile fetish. To make it worse, the gross generally involves my feet in some way. Fortunately, my friends have learned to say no unless I really pout, and then resign themselves to seeing the grossness that my feet are currently perpetrating. This week's flaver: skin free soles, courtesy of a sadistic belly dance teacher and her workshop of torture. And also Coumadin, from which it seems I am still recovering even after almost a year.

* M. and I should not be allowed to have TiVo. We have it searching for more things to download than we could ever possibly watch.

* I went to a going away party on Sat. for a friend who, it turns out, isn't actually going away. At least not where he was supposed to go, but he's already sublet his apartment. This is really... so very typical of him that I'm trying very hard not to find it hilarious.

* I am far too addicted to Jacob's Farscape recaps on TWOP. Kids, this is what an expensive liberal education will do to you! You will start geeking out at Jungian parallels and archetypal analysis and write embarassing fan girl letters to TV show recappers as a result.

* Forget chichi cat toys, for the fall season, rolley Ottomans are a cats best friend. Rolls eyes at cats, at myself, and at the Ottomans as they go flying across the room like some twisted feline Disneyland.

* I really, really need to work on the NIP because I have been very, very bad this week.

*

cofax7, the mail room just sent me your "Life on Mars" CDs back. (It's a long story). I'll UPS 'em this afternoon. Sorry for the delay. This is what I get for trying to screw the man.

* I saw a fun show, "Hooray for Bollywood", this weekend featuring a slew of dancers that we know. I thought of

fbf and she knows why!!

I will happily do this meme:
Post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (Examples: "Five Phrases Batman Will Never Say", or "Five Jobs House Wishes He Had" or "Five Things Dean Will Never, Ever Tell Sam.") Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun! ETA: I stole the text directly from

voleuse, so I should clarify this to include: X-Files, Farscape, SG-1 (S9 and 10 preferably), Buffy/Angel, Firefly, BSG, and West Wing (or anything else you think I might have a passing familiarity with:)

If anyone's interested.

And extra special comment fic if anyone can guess what's coming out today that fills me with potential glee and that I mistakenly tried to purchase yesterday thinking it came out a week ago:) I will be clever and not give a hint in the icon.

5 toys Toby buys for the twins.

From:

1. The Best of Psychology fingerpuppets (He keeps them away from Jung for a good long while though. Freud's not too bad, but Jung!!!)

2. A replica of the space shuttle. Huck breaks off the wheels and Molly likes driving it along the ground, but it's sort of a loop, a family connection and when he watches them, he always knows he's done the right thing.

3. A baseball and a glove for each of them. Later, when he figures out if they're southpaws or regular, he'll get 'em bats. But it doesn't hurt to learn to catch right.

4. A water table, because it's about sharing, but it's also about creating maximum havoc. Both of those are concepts that he can get behind. But it stays at Andie's.

5. He buys them both their first bikes a year before they're ready because all of a sudden he realizes that they will, someday, want to ride off on their own, and he wants to be there when they do, holding onto the bar at the back and keeping them steady until they find their centers. He's pretty sure Molly won't even need training wheels.
