Definitely should not have eaten the last of the ice cream last night.

God dammit, the ice cream ran out.

(Lactose-free, of course)

Watching raccoons play with bubbles is good for the soul:

everyone is always nostalgic for floppies until they remember how much of their lives they spent rewinding the damn things with pencils

Fuck, I'm tired. That was a real damn long day.

Hey, everyone what lives in the PNW! It's summer, which means BC is basically entirely on fire once again. Make sure not to spend too long outside and to take proper precautions because there's hella smoke in the air and it's not good for you!

If having a coffee in the morning doesn't wake you up, try deleting a table in a production database instead.

Luxuriating in freshly-shaved legs and a long skirt. Mmmmmmm... <3

Now playing at Rain Cafe: a pop cover of "Boombox" by Lonely Island, then what we think is a Muppets rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.

...ok.

Effects of babies on people's brains 

Again, I'm amused by this, I'm not annoyed. I completely understand that their lives right now are basically 100% about the baby. It is the center of their existence in ways that I will never understand or experience. And also it commands their attention in ways that they're not even aware of. All things flow back to the baby.

I expect by now you've reached semantic satiation and "baby" no longer looks like a meaningful word.

Effects of babies on people's brains 

I'm amused, but it also made it kind of tiring. Like, okay, yes, you have a baby. I see your baby. It is doing baby things. Look, it just spit up on itself. This is what babies do. They are babies. I acknowledge your baby. I also acknowledge that you are both drastically undersocialized right now because of the baby. But the baby is right here. It is fine. Things can be not about the baby for a little while.

Oh, things are about the baby again.

Effects of babies on people's brains 

So I had lunch today with a friend and his wife, and their sub-one-year-old child. It went pretty okay - I'm getting much much better at being around small kids and parents, at least when I have a bit to nerve myself up for it.

But holy shit, the only subject of conversation they can have is the baby. No less than three times they were like, "but enough about the baby" and then within four sentences they were talking about the baby again.

I guess if I have to have a weekend on-call happen, it's better to have one that's over in half an hour because the user didn't read the instructions and did the wrong thing...

"Can you make me a potion to change who I am?"
"No," said the witch. "There are no such potions."
"Oh. I hoped-"
"But I can make a potion to change your body to who you are."

Really should have taken a personal day today. I only got like 5 hours of sleep last night.

tired of memories (~-) 

Sometimes I'd really like to remove all the goddamn memories I have that are all tied in to him, so that there's not this deep well of pain surrounded by a spiderweb of interlocking thoughts and memories that all lead back into the middle.

I would really like memory without pain.
