$39 for new checks? WTF?!? ~grumbles~
I don't write paper checks. Like, ever. Don't even have a checkbook. At work, if you give us a paper check, we put it into a machine that makes a debit transaction like you used a card. If I need to pay a lot of money, I do an echeck to avoid "convenience fees" for using a card. Paper checks are obsolete.

I've never cared for dessert wines. Too cough-syrupy for me.

Call me obsessive, but I keep records of absolutely everything financial in both hard copy and on digital file. Ergo, checkbook + scanner. (This came in handy when the National Gridiots f*~+ed up my electric bill last month.)

I don't care for dry wines. Not sweet enough for me.

I like dessert wines.
But, as you know, only during cunnilingus.

There's a happy medium, like a good Chianti or Pinot.

Hey! I'm mentioned in this video (about fifty- to fifty four-minutes-in)! That means everyone with a YouTube account needs to watch it and give it a Like! >:D

This may be the sleep deprivation and strong drink talking, but this song is really starting to grow on me. I don't know what it means, but it's provocative.

What is this I'm drinking? It's like a choc-ice fell into a bottle of bleach. Children's booze!

Welcome back to another episode of Orthos's Bizarre Dreams.
This time, I was back in Yoakum and I went to a house I vaguely recognized to talk to a bunch of people about a magical ring I had, one of two. However, after showing it off, the other one I had disappeared and we couldn't find it.
So we searched around the house, backtracked my steps and my drive, which somehow led to getting chased and attacked by shadowy monsters that you could only see, and they could only see you, if you were wearing or looking through some sort of religious symbol; one girl in our group kept getting attacked by stuff the rest of us couldn't see, until we discovered she had a cross necklace under her shirt that none of us knew about, after we'd figured out the holy symbol thing. There was also getting into an argument with Mettaton and riding a forklift made of Lincoln Logs and folding chairs across town while shooting down the shadow-things with rocket-launching Super Scopes.

Something like that :-)
We got about 6 inches (of snow)
The dog is beside himself, he cannot accept staying in our yard, as soon as we came inside he burrowed in the blankets on the couch with the kids.
Hot cocoa for all!
You know your new neighbors are from the south or west coast when you see them with a broom trying to clean the ice off her car, of course I immediately went digging in my car for ours to lend her, they seem to be very nice people. This led me to the realization, after living here for ten+ years I've become the neighborhood diplomat, it's kind of weird as someone that moved so frequently growing up.

I spent my dream last night searching for Dawn dish soap in a department store, but I never found any.
My dreams f#$@ing suck.

In my most recent dream, I was at a local high school watching an advance screening of the Assassins Creed animated movie. I sat between my wife and Alexander Skarsgaard, who did one of the voices. He was bullying me the entire time, asking to borrow my phone, for me to get him chips and all sorts of things. My wife asked me to stand up to him and I tried with limited success. The part of the movie that was amaing was where the supposed last assassin found a piece of eden that was stolen from him by a templar, who used it, bringing all the templars killed earlier in the movie back to life, who ganged up on the last assassin and killed him. I was really getting into it, but I had to answer the call of nature. I demanded my phone back from Skarsgaard and ran for the facilities. It turns out that the bathroom doorway was quite small, and I had to walk sideways to shimmy through. The facilities themselves were an ancient water closet, filled with water and an old style pulley handle to flush. I realized this was quite difficult to operate, and then I realized I REALLY had to go to the bathroom, so I woke up.

I am very jealous of people who can remember their dreams at all.
I remember perhaps one dream per 2-3 years.
Imagine if, instead of going to sleep, dreaming, and waking up with odd memories of a doomed search for dish soap, you woke up remembering... nothing at all.
It's pretty boring, let me tell you!

I think we've reached the time of year I'm not allowed to talk about the weather any more.
I open the windows once it breaks 60 F outside. This morning I opened them at 8:12 am, not too long after sunrise.
And yet the high today won't break 70.
Monotonous, near-perfect weather for eternity.
That's the Bay Area.

A lot of transplants complain bitterly about our lack of weather, to which my response is a very cordial, "You should move back home, then!"
No one's taken me up on it, yet...

No one can say no to Alexander Skarsgard.

I very rarely remember my dreams. Usually when I do, they are boring and stupid.

I think 60s every day sounds divine.

That's how I gave my boss in Seattle two weeks notice to move back to Wisconsin, I hadn't planned to but it lined up perfectly. :-)
Edit: weather or lack thereof had nothing to do with our move back.
