Apatosaurus: Hrm uhh
Ondiru: What's wrong?
Apatosaurus: Well, nothing, really. It's just that there's this dessert that I don't have yet.
Ondiru: What dessert is that?
Ackb: Oh, I know what this is.
Apatosaurus (pointing to the computer screen): There appears to be some sort of pre-made pastry involved.
Ondiru: Oh, puff pastry. Do you want this? I could go out to the store.
Apatosaurus: Is that how you want to spend your evening?
Ondiru: I like making things for people.
Apatosaurus: Well, let me think. Is this the dessert I most want in the world? Maybe I want cupcakes or brownies. What do you think?
Ackb: I don't think I'm a good person to ask. You said the "c" word.
Ondiru: Oh, I know. The puff pastry is likely to be frozen. It will be better for tomorrow. I could get cupcakes for tonight.
Apatosaurus: I don't mind delayed gratification. Especially when there is also instant gratification.

My middle brother and his wife drove over an hour to bring the kids a present. I forgot they were coming and we’re out and can’t return quickly. I am a disorganized, useless, self-absorbed jerk. Wembley is distracting me from self loathing by asking me to make chicken noises, so there’s that.

ETA: The present was for the whole family. It’s a restored living room chair, nice and sturdy for when grandparents come over and want to have toddlers in their lap. I will have to send my brother and s-i-l a huge and sparkly thank-you note.

I had a dream last night that there was a science project I had forgotten to do that was due tomorrow, and also an algebra exam and I couldn’t for the life of me remember how to handle equations of any kind.

Only I couldn’t work on the project or study for the exam because I had been cast in this disaster movie, which was filming on location somewhere with snow several hours away. I’m pretty sure the movie involved weapons and caves. When we got there, the shooting was taking longer than scheduled, and told the director I had an exam the next day. He said, “no, you don’t,” with the implication that there was no way I was getting back to the exam, not that the exam was canceled or rescheduled.

The place where we (our family) was going to stay during the film shoot was this well-lit townhouse kind of layout that shared a “common room” with the unit nearest us, in sort of an L shape arrangement. The kitchen had high ceilings, tiles all the way up, and pendant lights over the bar like I’ve seen in a zillion HGTV shows about putting your loft unit on the market.

So. Stress, I think. I should do some homework.

ieffinglovedinosaurs:

The 30” Inflatable Velociraptor is an excellent choice for prehistory fans with its lifelike details. Using a 4-color quality process, all 51 inches of length are imprinted with colors imitating the real-life creature. The 30”-tall inflatable dinosaur velociraptor comes with a repair kit for any punctures, and will be a fun part of your dinosaur toy collection.

I don’t need this, right? Right.
