Bah, I Say

I spent half an hour on the phone with a nice man in India who kept trying to tell me that the source of our internet outage was our "faulty equipment." Since the internet came back up of its own accord, I can only conclude that Macs are self-healing.

So rather than spending Sophia's naptime dicking around on the internet, I was forced to take a nap, and did not get to throw rotten tomatoes at President Stupidhead, visiting a local nucular panner plant to talk about how great and safe and neato and affordable nucular power is (and then jamming up the city at rush hour on his way out). Just when you think he's already said everything that might make one's head explode.

I did not realize we had a nucular panner plant so near by.

Anyway I am boring but MORE LATER.

OH oh oh! And I am doing the Shangri-La diet! Because Kateri is doing it! And I want to be cool like Kateri. Also drinking oil reminds me of those happy last days of pregnancy and the Shit Julius* I just couldn't get enough of.

*Castor oil, vanilla ice cream, orange juice. Hrk.

Julius was my grandfather's name.

He was, actually, rather a shit (what with having slit my granny's throat and all--don't worry, she lived to tell the tale, and when she did, always referred to it as "the night I was murdered").

But I am so glad now that we didn't name any of our sons that or every time I heard my child's name I'd have to giggle. And it would be all YOUR FAULT.

Self-healing Macs. This is an interesting concept. I wonder if that is really how my lost pictures were recovered.

The $1.2 million homes being built across the street from our farm have a lovely view of the cooling towers. This says so much to me that I scarcely know where to begin.

As for Shangri-la I'm in, too. About halfway through the book and so far it makes perfect sense. It's only been a few days so no miracle stories yet but I'm loving the shake-up in our meals. New flavors are apparently key to success - why on earth did I get into the same-stuff-every-meal rut to begin with?

There is a nuclear plant in the county next to ours, and I've decided that the best way to deal is to go "LA LA LA what power plant?"

Every time I see nucular, I remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer joined the Navy.
