OH MY GOD GUYS. Stephen just pulled out The God Machine on TCR. My family LOVES the God Machine. My mom used to leave me messages on my cellphone at school doing the God Machine noises. NOT EVEN KIDDING.
Speaking of my mom and phones:
Dad: ::gesturing towards the phone my mom just hung up:: Who's sick?
Mom: Bethy had surgery on her foot on Monday. I'm a bad sister. I forgot all about it.
Dad: What was it for?
Mom: I'm really bad. I have no idea. She told me. I just. Um, there was something wrong with her foot? And they did surgery to fix it.
Kait: ::bursts out laughing::
Mom: What?
Kait: Well, yeah, I don't know many people who have surgery on their feet for no reason.
Mom: Shut up! I'll ask her subtly later.
Later on she told me to get up off the couch to look in the closet, where a scarf that I had stuffed in a plastic bag looked like an alien face. Oh god. The joys of living at home.

Here is a Wonkette post I meant to link earlier:
As usual, I don't know WHY I laughed for like half an hour, but I certainly did. eta: Oh! And a meme!

Tomorrow, I am going to have lunch with a friend from last summer and do some writing. Yay for TWW for
shakes_that_fic and for this
sga_flashfic story that I am apparently writing now. Cat breeding! And Whole Foods! Apparently! (I mentioned it in the comments that spawned the idea, but there used to be a guy that worked at the Whole Foods in White Plains who a) reminded me of Joe Flanigan and b) validated my parking even when he shouldn't have.)

the episode of Futurama where Fry tours the Slurm factory is on! I feel like I was just talking about this one with Rob and... it's entirely possible that this is true.
