"Hold the line!"

The last barrier has been breached--this morning Laila opened the door to her room, came into our room, and jumped on our bed to wake us up. I was already awake but [instagram.com profile] sashagee was not, so she was rudely woken by the impact of a forty-pound toddler shouting "Good morning!" At least she came into our room instead of trying to wreck the living room. This is after yesterday, when I was eating breakfast and I heard her trying the handle on her door, and eventually she got it open, came out of her room with a big smile on her face, and said, "Good morning abba!" while giving me a big hug.

You learn about so many things working on your hobbies. There's a person who's contributed to Cataclysm who's a Brazilian monarchist. I had no idea those even existed, but apparently they're 11% of the population. Anyway, this person keeps wanting to add Brazilian monarchy-themed items to the game, which, whatever, except the game is set in New England. I checked Amazon and while they have Austro-Hungarian monarchist gear and Tzarist Russia monarchist gear, there's nothing about the Empire of Brazil. They ended up catching a warning for repeatedly trying to insert their political beliefs into an inappropriate location. And the thing is, there is a mod for the game (Tropicataclysm) that takes place in Brazil where this sort of thing would be reasonable...at least, I think so, I have no idea how common Brazilian monarchist trucker hats are in Brazil.

We're in the last gasp of summer in Chicago. The high today is 31°C, but from today it's a walk down the country lane into fall. By the end of the weekend the high will be 26°C, and by this time next week the high will be 21°C. I'm looking forward to getting my coats out again.

Alright, back to work.
