Honey, Where's My Super Suit?

Afro Boy and Extendo Girl went out for a night on the town.
We were .... frickin'.... SUPER.

We went to the Referee's house for a party. Everyone was super nice. There were two other superheros there and one arch villain, so we felt right at home. Our guns may have been filled with water at one point and used for squirting people.

His crew all made an effort to make me feel included, which was pretty sweet. The Salesman kept asking if I was having a good time, and then telling me they were all a bunch of assholes - which seemed like a bit of a contradiction (why would an asshole care?). They also liked to tell me how wonderful everyone else in their crew was, and how they themselves were not. Which was pretty cute. Afro boy is by far the goofiest of the lot, and spent the most time dancing, but everyone cut a bit of a rug. Even me.

A Chocolate Menagerie

I had the best night last night. Kippen came over so we could work on advent calendars together.
She brought me a chocolate menagerie:

and a decadence of jelly beans which we both nibbled on:


We read stories and giggled and it was cosy and nice and good and productive.

Dirty Words are the First Foreign Phrases Anyone Learns

Big Fish willfully misinterprets German sentences into dirty English phrases. Jaja and I were practicing German in the car, and every once in a while Big Fish would interrupt with a "what did you say?"
My favorite interpretations were:
Schmect gut ---> Smacked her good.
Guten Tag ---> Good and tug
Guten Nacht ---> Good nobbin
Richtig ----> Lick dick
Danke schön ---> Donkey shin

Common sense rules!

I, who know little of accounting procedures, just solved a huge GST discrepancy issue for my company by using my very practical brain.

My proverb for the day therefore is:
When looking at many columns of numbers that are all fairly similar it is safe to assume that the issue will reside in the one that is significantly larger or smaller than it's neighbours.

Way to go me!

My mother's mantra

My mother says that her mantra before she wrote exams was "Love, light, intelligence."
Now there's a philosophy I can get behind.
