Your Mom

For those of us who really like "your mom" jokes (& alliteration) . . .

(from the always-entertaining xkcd)

Oh, the Economy

Like many other stressed Americans, I've been monitoring the steady decline in value of my investments over the last few months. However, I hadn't checked on the total decline until today. My IRA has apparently gone down -44.69% since I rolled over my 401K last August. Bleh.

Gor(e)y

Remember Edward Gorey? I've always enjoyed the sense of the macabre in his illustrations & found this one the other day. In case the text is too small to see clearly, it runs:

Lochlan's dear goldfish went missing that noon./The Duchess was summoned/to search the lagoon.

A Google image search yields many more of his dark gems. Plus, the full Gashlycrumb Tinies set here. :)

I Got a New Phone!

Yup - a new LG ENV. I've never had a QWERTY keyboard before, but I'm a big texter, so it seemed to make sense. Plus, I got the phone on sale & with a mail-in rebate. If I've done my math aright, I think I'm getting the whole shebang for free!

I swore I wouldn't gush too much . . .

But . . . today's texted sweet nothings? Were in Latin.

Is he perfect for me or what?

Childhood Sweets

Is it weird that I want this so badly: Tub of Bazooka Joe?

Oh, the memories. The chewy, bubble-gum flavored memories . . .
