Kristine’s Neighborhood

1. While walking down the street a man (a not so cute; sort of gave me the creeps looking man) said to me... in a mix of spanish and english "hey lady, do you want company?"

AND

2. I've heard the sad news that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have split. Say it isn't so! I'm kidding, who gives two shits?

I wish I had more to report to you Vox, but that's all I've got.

There is a new kiosk right by my office that serves Blue Bottle!  Best! Day! Ever!

A while ago I posted an essay Sage wrote about Pluto.  Apparently Sage is still very concerned about poor Pluto.  The school year is wrapping up, so all the work that they've done throughout the year is coming home a little bit every day.  Today I got an essay about me, with a very interesting picture.

Story

"I love mommy.  Mommy brings me everywhere.  She brought me to her wedding.  I love her because she loves me.  She makes really good stuff.  As you can see, I love mommy."

Weak!

Awwwww

As we mentioned last week, we had to postpone the maintenance that was due to occur on Thursday, May 8th.

We have rescheduled the maintenance for tonight, Tuesday, May 13th, starting at 6:00 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time (that's 1:00 A.M. UTC/GMT). We'll be taking Vox offline for a bit in order to move the service to a brand new home in some bright, shiny new server racks. We don't expect to be offline for more than an hour or two, but we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Again, thank you for your patience as we continue to invest in Vox's infrastructure!

• 11:47 Lithotripsy scheduled for Wednesday. I am bummed. I didn't want to do this now. #

Dear People of the Internet,

Hi, how are you? Things are going pretty well here at Supergenius HQ. I spent a lot of time working on a writing project, it involved notecards and the sinking suspicion that I had lost one of my stories. No worries though, I found it.

Anyway People of the Internet, I hate to be a bitch, but we need to talk. It’s about your use of the word douche. It has become the adjective du jour for everything from Bill O’Reilly to rock and roll bands. Enough. It’s time to put the douche out to pasture. I just finished catching up with the y’all by clearing out my Google Reader and I counted no less than 32 uses of douche or douchebag or doucherocket or douchey, and a bunch of other conjugations I have wiped from my mind.

Come on people of the Internet you’re better than this. You’re smart, creative people with a big vocabulary. You can come up with a new way to describe the things and people you don’t like. Bust out the thesaurus and show the world what you’re made of, and when all else fails don’t be afraid to fallback on those time-honored stalwarts like bastard, jackass, bitch — they’re classics for a reason.

Just say no to douche.

Love and kisses,
Jodi

ce matin

...dans la cuisine me rappelle que j'ai un peu delaisse mon vox ces temps-ci.

Grosse pause pour cause de maladie. Mais la ca va mieux, je reviens sur terre.
Remise au tricot, au velo (oh il faut absolument que je fasse une photo!), et au boulot.

Pas grand chose a signaler dans mon coin de la planete, a part de belles lettres et cartes recues ces derniers jours. Les voxiens savent aussi prendre la plume. Merci!
                           
Et de belles fleurs dans la cuisine.

ce matin

Pour tenir compagnie a l'araignee.
