Oh my God, is it really time for Yuletide letters already?!?! Somehow I missed noms, so apparently there's no Coraline on the list. My kids randomly found it on TV last week, and adore the movie to death, even though Maddy is terrified of the "Laffy Taffy scene" when Coraline is looking for the souls. Zach says it's scary, but still gleefully ( Read more... )

The current radio silence isn't intentional or anything, just that it's slipping my mind to update things. Oops ( Read more... )

We found a sitter in the form of a girl down the street that my kids kinda knew from playing in summers. I say kinda, because she's 15 and Maddy is 7, so it's not like they really play together much. But basically, we needed her to make sure the older two stayed in bed, the dog was let out, and no disasters struck the house so we could see the 8 pm ( Read more... )

Currently waiting for Zach's audiogram and then tube check. I'm only able to post from my phone now because two of Zach's friends from day care (twins) came in for a check up, and ENT and pediatrics share a waiting room. The morning was so much better this morning, barely any voice raising, even with Zach taking forever to get his stuff together ( Read more... )

Naps are wonderful things. It allows me to calm down when the kids are refusing to listen (mostly Zach, omg I can't wait till he's four and can be reasoned with) and stay awake for pathfinder. I think I have settled into my role in combat as the support person. I didn't even bother to try for damage much, just buff spells. My character doesn't get ( Read more... )

Such a busy weekend! Jason and I watched Fury Road, and I thought it was awesome and fun. Jason thought the chase scenes were overdone and some of it didn't make logical sense to him, but he enjoyed it. He thought Tom Hardy did a great job incorporating Mel Gibson's Mad Max into his performance (I didn't see those, so I really have no idea). He ( Read more... )

Freshly home from Avengers 2. Nonspoilery thoughts... Great action sequences,snarky dialogue, wonderful CG and costuming. The plot works, but certain beats made no sense in context and Joss ignored what he didn't like from the MCU, which is not his place to do and is partly what made things not make sense. I'm so glad Joss is no longer involved and ( Read more... )

It was snowing all day yesterday, yet somehow it was only six inches. The drifts did get taller in a lot of places. We stayed inside, and at one point I decided to back up Tosh while Jason was playing Infinity. He watched it randomly bluescreen on me three times with nothing running but the usual background processes and Explorer. I was using my ( Read more... )

I think it took almost 2h last night to post links into comms. This time, I didn't feel like pitching Tosh across the room because I was reading a story to the kids, then watching Agent Carter and an episode of Constantine off the DVR, so there was something to distract me from the constant refreshing of pages until it worked ( Read more... )

I swear, crossposting anything on LJ lately makes me want to tear my hair out or toss poor Tosh across the room. Which really isn't fair, she's trucking along as best as she can when not throwing up the blue screen of death. I don't know if it's the javascript errors, some other kind of scripting, or LJ being its usual stupid self. As long as I don ( Read more... )
