GET OVER THE DISHWASHER ALREADY, LEE

The dishwasher installation guy came today! And he installed our dishwasher! And it's shiny and white and pretty and clean! And now we don't have to wallow in our own filth! Seriously, we just gazed upon it for ages with our shining, myopic eyes. Also, the element is black (the one in the old dishwasher was white with lime), and it has all these neato-keen features, and--

Holy God, I bought an appliance.

I'm, like, a real adult now, or something. Mostly "something", though.

[EDIT: Also, this has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I'm re-reading Helliconia Summer by Brian W. Aldiss and feel vague disappointment because it's fun and a good read, but not as good as Helliconia Spring. Probably this is because I fell hard for Aoz Roon and haven't found anyone to measure up to him in the second book.]
