Tatiana's Wanderings

It's NATIONAL GRAMMAR DAY today... MY FAVORITE! Aimee Vanderkarr tried adding one of my alteregos - DENIED!

I had a dream where the London Drugs was being changed into a Shoppers Drug Mart, complete with fences blocking off our access. Beckett came up to me and said, "Beckett comes here every day to eat junk food because it's good, Auntie." (WAY too complicated a sentence for him in his 21-month-old life!) London Drugs also had a great deal on Camelbak water bottles like Fraser's with dinosaurs, advertised as "a good way to get all your water - with a zipper bag for your bottle!" Cordia wanted some Halloween or Christmas Cheetos and shortbread snacks, but we confused her when she went to go through the maze of all the blue milk crates - she went RIGHT PAST all the Santa packs! WTF, subconscious?!

Gap, Pennsylvania?!




From Janina: I'm burying a dollar store skeleton in a shallow grave under my new deck. Should be funny in 30 years when the next guy is rebuilding it.




From This is True: Whaiti Albert?!

After DOUBLE COFFEE TIME, I went out at 3:05 on a 407 bus to help with the kids at 4. I checked to see if Shoppers had any cheaper lip balm - I was unwilling to pay $9.99 for a little tube of Burt's Bees once I finally found it at the back of the store (even London Drugs has it for cheaper!), so I went straight to Mount Pleasant instead. Turns out Jon wanted to meet at Bellagio Gelato - worked for me, even if I had to wait for a bit. Hell, I could just hop on their wi-fi from just outside the doors. They showed up at about 4:45, and Ayler asked how long I'd been waiting, and about my route. I joked and said five hours, then revised it to 15 minutes. Beckett didn't seem to like his sunhat, but the kids got white bubblegum gelato (with no bubble gum pieces!) while I got some raspberry sorbetto. Of course I did the polite thing and thanked the ug! We tried offering some to Beckett, but he turned his head away like his brothers had when they were one year old. Maybe when he's four years old, he'll like it!

Ayler, Hiero, and I talked about the puzzle with the most pieces: 551,232 pieces?! I totally blew their minds with that factoid! They were impressed by the photo which I was able to find online, too. We walked or ran back home - with lectures about stranger danger and people possibly grabbing them - and I was able to hang out with the kids and Harmony. Catching Beckett whenever he crawled to the back window because he threw his red ball around, preventing him from fitting under the couch, his chewing toys and seeming interested in the Christmas baby books at times, almost tripping over crap in the way (hopefully not hurting Beckett), flossing, and ODE TO JOY piano music.

More origami, SIMON SAYS, some calorific pasta for Beckett (who just threw everything on the floor anyway), what had lots of calories, school and therapy, calling Dad for his birthday, reading books about bikes and trains, the double-layer puzzle, salad, Chinese noodles with peanut sauce, allergies, blueberries, calories, corn on the cob, and hugging Beckett to me when his brothers were being too rambunctious with pinches and he wanted support and security since we were all in a tiny circle... that was heartwarming and he wasn't scared of me! Ayler wanted me to come next week - sure, but do I have to smell their poo air?! They laughed at that, of course. I was able to leave at about 8 (Harmony thinks I did a good job with all the kids?!), grabbed the 3 Marine Drive Station bus, and was able to find some more lip balm x4 while I was out... gotta have backups! At least I was able to find the beauty section at T&T - $1.79 for one tube is way better than $9.99 to $11.99, no matter if Burt's Bees is more "quality" than Chapstick! I also grabbed a pack of Paldo Bul Jjamppong noodles on my way out. Got home at 9:30 on a 407, which is good.


Yes, there is a literal Cool Chinese Restaurant near my place. They took over the old space when the old Mad Greek owners retired!




Cherry Chapstick!




Mint Chapstick!

I managed to reconstruct the newest Imgur Bad Baby Names album because I'd accidentally deleted it the other day, and also managed to upload all 132 Simpsons mood theme pics and all 132 Homestar Runner mood theme pics to Imgur before redoing the mood themes on both my LJ and Eric Ho's LJ! Thank goodness I'd already saved the pics to my D drive when I first got this computer, because I don't know how long it would have taken if I'd had to save them from Photobucket itself! Then I changed Eric's LJ theme to the Default AIR one because the old one had too-small font for me now, even if I like the concept of white text on a dark background. ACCOMPLISHMENT AHOY!


From Shiv on Discord: Why would you need to COME OUT AS FAT?!

Since I was up at 8 AM, it was COFFEE TIME BY DEFAULT!


Shadow's first dream in FINAL FANTASY VI ADVANCE: Clyde is alone.




( Info about Baram, Shadow AKA Clyde, and Relm! )

I did some laundry today, and unsubscribed from r/earthbound because of the shitposts and children there. The latest example: Some 28-year-old thinks that I'm immature and didn't know that there was an age before screenshots. I'm 40, so of course I know that is true! Idiot. He then tried to call me his friend - nope, I don't play that game.

Then Shelley said that she talked to one of the admins of CRIME INC. (where I got banned from the other day) and they said that they had no problem letting me back into the group. Apparently, the creator of the CRIMINALLY LISTED videos caused trouble in their group a few years back, so all his videos are banned. Like I'm supposed to know about that?! Also, my comment about "why is this dog post in a crime group?" was the last straw, and I wasn't the only person to be banned. I'm still not going to go back, though!


Cow on a Japanese sign in Yokosuka: Please, I do not vomit in a washroom. If I vomit, it's by a toilet.




From Janina: This horse says, "Not sure if I have free time... or just forgot everything I was supposed to do."




In FINAL FANTASY VI: THE ETERNAL CRYSTALS, Sabin sees Shadow and his dog Interceptor outside of Tarza's father's cabin. He tries talking to Interceptor. Shadow says, "Whoa... the dog just can't stand strangers!"
