Old person's question?
When was the last time you owned a Swatch Watch?

Chaos reigns
On Wednesday morning, we found out that my mother-in-law has pancreatic cancer that has metastasized in the bone. In other words, FUCK. Whilst they understand that it is bad and terminal, Rich and his sister are still been blithely “optimistic” about how long they have until they hear otherwise (her next appointment is on Wednesday when we should ( Read more... ) -
Soooooo....
Rich is correcting a student's MA thesis. He is messaging me quotes.
"Cock fighting also represents a pastime which is highly male-dominated and women are merely allowed to be passive spectators and are not allowed to handle the cocks."
"On the male side, the language of everyday moralism was shot through with roosterish imagery and the cock ( Read more... ) -
In breaking news...
Well, I've now educated myself (probably along with all the world's news readers) about how to pronounce Ougadougou.

A stream of consciousness hello
So, it is my first day back in the office after two weeks off looking after Audrey. Kids are hard frickin' work, don't ya know. Didn't go anywhere or do anything, but it is also kind of nice just to not be at a computer the whole time. The last few days were really hot, so I've been running around in a bikini and joining in in water fights with ( Read more... ) -

I need to sleep, why won't you, why won't you let me sleeeeep?
I had hoped to maybe update before I went to bed, but I spent too much time catching up on everything else that my chronic sleep deprivation is taking its toll and I don't know how coherent I can actually be. Today was a really hard day, with Audrey waking up at 4:45am and things not getting better from there. She starts daycare in July, and next ( Read more... ) -
Pain in the neck
So annoying. My upper back and neck pain has been getting progressively worse to the point where I am now waking up with headaches. Yesterday I tried to get an appointment with the physio, but could get one until Monday. Now that appointment has been cancelled and I have to wait until next Thursday. I think my spine might snap in two before then ( Read more... ) -
Jealous of Tyrion

And I've forgotten everything else I wanted to say.
