OK time kill central. I ate a huge piece of cake that someone in the lab left out in the kitchen. It was the kind of cake that's soo good and is probably terribly cloggy. And then I stumbled (let my fingers do the staggering) upon this article about professionals in India who still get grandma's homecooked lunches sent to them everyday...by DubWallas. Which made me upset about eating the cake.

...where long commutes by train and bus are routine, Mumbai residents rely on an intricately organized, labor-intensive operation that puts some automated high-tech systems to shame. It manages to deliver tens of thousands of meals to workplaces all over the city with near-clockwork precision.

Unbelievable system of guys who can't read, but can bike hundreds of lunches and put them on trains and make sure that they arrive safe and edible.

I wonder which little gopher strapped my cake on his back and delivered it to the grocery store?

Florence Henderson and me

Ok, I was standing in the kitchen pouring orange juice for Dave the other day, and it struck me...a picture of Florence Henderson (we call her Flo Hen around these parts) saying, "Orange juice isn't just for breakfast anymore!" and smiling. Kinda like..."Club 852: Not just for Lisle anymore." Finally, Amy gets it!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Skype!

I have SKYPE! Chat with me! Ok, we haven't purchased a mic yet, but we have the camera and the computer part set up. SKYPE me! I have B's name on the thing, but I couldn't find one for Sara or Sheila, and I'm pretty sure you guys said that you had SKYPE! SKYPE! That is all for now. SKYPE!

I heart the Sims

So I've been kinda busy this week and going to bed pretty late, so I'm quite sleepy right now. It's towards the end of my work day and I'm just dragging.
I went to google images and typed in "sleepy" and came up with this picture of a sleepy Sim. I heart this game. It's really strange and really neat at the same time. Just to give you guys an idea of what it looks like, here ya go!

Stop the madness!!

I have received so many emails about Dad's suspenders! Why is everyone clicking "reply all"? Just curious. Kinda weird. Inquiring Genevieve's want to know!

Walker, Texas Baby

Remember that old tv show, "Walker, Texas Ranger" Well, that's Lucy's new nickname, Walker, Texas Baby, because she's walking!!

OKGO

Here's a cute band, OKGO. They're from Chicago and Danny and I saw them open up for They Might Be Giants a few years ago. They win my award for "Best Use of Treadmills."

she isn't Professor Blue but

she is wearing blue, and has a very joyous video.

I bring you: Canadian artist Feist!

Confessions of an underwear thief

I, Lucy Roller, take great joy in stealing multiple pairs of underwear from my big brother Charlie. I like to string them on my arms, and then roam around the house on my knees, selling them to the masses. Mostly I try to put them on myself, or my baby dolls. They're free, any takers?

PS Mom always said there was nothing funny about underpants. I think she MIGHT have been mistaken, in this case.

Look-a-likes

So I saw your cat thing and thought, "I could have that, but that doesn't look like my cat..." and then I had a whole bunch of other thoughts that led me to want to look on google images to find a picture of my gas grill being invaded by stupid birds. I can't take pictures of the real thing b/c we cleaned our gas grill out, but if you look at this picture, it kinda looks like our grill, and kinda looks like our balcony. Luckily, we didn't get a nest as big as this b/c we caught it in time. Thanks to Danny's "Huh. There's a lot of twigs underneat the grill. Wouldn't it be funny if it was because they'd made a nest in there?" Yeah. Funny like dead tastebuds. I'll take a picture of our balcony later for a compare and contrast discussion. In the meantime you can check out this picture.

Then you can also check out the picture of the cat, licking his chops. It doesn't look like either of my cats, but could be a hybrid of the two. Again, I'll post pictures of the real cats at a later date. I don't have access to them right now.

Enjoy.

voting, schmoting

I have no idea who to vote for. Crazy is a loaded term in this family. Maybe we should ask who is the most likely to have his or her cat house out on the sidewalk?

Craziest family member, vote now

Emma was calling Dave "crazy" because of something silly he said. Then she said, wait, Uncle Mike is crazier than you dad! Wait, Aunt Sheila and Uncle Joe are crazy too. VERY crazy. Ok, Uncle Joe is the craziest person I ever met. What do you think? (Katie and I were deemed, "regular.")
