Die Buchwalds

We finally let Ratzi into our bedroom. We put away the fancy stuff & dug out the “light summer comforter” and decided that the cat could hang out in the bedroom. Our bed is his new favorite place. Since I’ve been home from work, he’s only spent about two hours away from it and Matt says that he spent most of his day there, too.
Now… if only we can convince him to sleep when we sleep, instead playing while we’re trying to sleep.

Mr. B & I have attended 4 weddings together in our not-quite-five years of happy coupledom. That’s not counting our own. In the past two weeks or so we’ve bee invited to THREE more. And Mr. B. suspects that we’ll be receiving at least one more in the near future. Assuming he’s right, that’ll bring our total number of weddings attended to EIGHT by the end of October. That also means that five of those weddings occured/will occur this calendar year.
Also, apparently that old myth that it’s popular to get married in the summer is wrong. Our wedding count includes 1 in February, 1 in April (though it might as well have been March), 2 in May, 1 in September, and 2 maybe 3 in October. The September wedding is the only one that is actually happening during summer… and yet the bride & groom seem to think they’re getting married in the fall. In my twisted little head, this is hillarious.

Sociopath You are 57% Rational, 0% Extroverted, 57% Brutal, and 57% Arrogant.

You are the Sociopath! As a result of your cold, calculating rationality, your introversion (and ability to keep quiet), your brutality, and your arrogance, you would make a very cunning serial killer. You care very little for the feelings of others, possibly because you are not a very emotional person. You are also very calculating and intelligent, making you a perfect criminal mastermind. Also, you are a very arrogant person, tending to see yourself as better than others, providing you a strong ability to perceive others as weak little animals, thus making it easier to kill them. In short, your personality defect is the fact that you could easily be a sociopath, because you are calculating, unemotional, brutal, and arrogant. Please don’t kill me for writing mean things about you! To put it less negatively: 1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive. 2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted. 3. You are more BRUTAL than gentle. 4. You are more ARROGANT than humble. Compatibility: Your exact opposite is the Hippie. Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Spiteful Loner, the Smartass, and the Capitalist Pig. * * If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

Robot You are 71% Rational, 28% Extroverted, 42% Brutal, and 42% Arrogant.

You are the Robot! You are characterized by your rationality. In fact, this is really ALL you are characterized by. Like a cold, heartless machine, you are so logical and unemotional that you scarcely seem human. For instance, you are very humble and don’t bother thinking of your own interests, you are very gentle and lack emotion, and you are also very introverted and introspective. You may have noticed that these traits are just as applicable to your laptop as they are to a human being. In short, your personality defect is that you don’t really HAVE a personality. You are one of those annoying, super-logical people that never gets upset or flustered. Unless, of course, you short circuit. To put it less negatively: 1. You are more RATIONAL than intuitive. 2. You are more INTROVERTED than extroverted. 3. You are more GENTLE than brutal. 4. You are more HUMBLE than arrogant. Compatibility: Your exact opposite is the Class Clown. Other personalities you would probably get along with are the Hand-Raiser, the Emo Kid, and the Haughty Intellectual. * * If you scored near fifty percent for a certain trait (42%-58%), you could very well go either way. For example, someone with 42% Extroversion is slightly leaning towards being an introvert, but is close enough to being an extrovert to be classified that way as well. Below is a list of the other personality types so that you can determine which other possible categories you may fill if you scored near fifty percent for certain traits.

Former TV GUIDE is changing their format.

It won’t fit in its spot anymore… I might have to cancel my subscription. I’m trying so hard to cut back on unneccessary clutter. I can’t have a magazine without a home. The crossword puzzle will be missed. It’s a shame I’ve never been able to complete one :(
