It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ack, Steph. Stupid subconscious, telling you weirdo lies. It's probably really about getting your work done or something.

I know someone who had an affair with Robert Parrish (The former Boston Celtics center). I worked with her. I used to take a lot of his calls for her.

Ooh, that's a good one!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

My subconscious is wrong, and it knows it. We had a stern talk on the way in to work, and if it doesn't start to behave, I'm going to put some really boring shit in there, like tax codes. I think that scared it enough to behave.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I saw Tom Brady in an airport once. I know somebody who knows somebody who went home with Nomar, back before he was married.

Yeah, actually, I lead a very unremarkable life.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Huh. OK. It doesn't look just, like, silver? I don't love the look of silver.

Belatedly, because I crashed, but nope! Silver's much whiter. Platinum has a grey cast to it.

While we didn't get my rings there, the place where I got Paul's ring is the place I trusted to put the little balls on the inside of my rings so that I could have them sized down without having them cut. (They are located in a mall, but they're not a mall jeweler.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hi Plei!

That's all- I just felt like I needed to say hello.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

(They are located in a mall, but they're not a mall jeweler.)

Yeah, shoulda been clearer -- by "mall jeweler" I mean the big chains, not the physical location per se. The two I trust are in strip malls, but then, in NC, everything is in a strip mall.

Aw. Ossie Davis died. I've got to say, 87 and still working? Not so bad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I got my rings at Zales. They were really nice, gave us credit, let me try on everything in the store even after we said we probably weren't going to buy that day.

I am pretty naive about jewelry, though.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I think I peaked between 24 and 27. I'd started figuring out what looked good on me, my self-confidence was blossoming, and I had this nice slim-yet-curvy thing going on. After that my lifestyle got more sedentary, since I no longer went everywhere by bike or on foot, and I've been battling my weight ever since. Sigh. But I'm hoping to be a very hot 35-year-old. (I just turned 34.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Usually, on Happy Days, when there was a band playing at Al's, the plot was something like, "We need to raise $500" "I know, we can have a dance marathon!" "We'll do it at Al's!"

Was it ever Al's? I know it started as Arnold's, and I could swear it stayed Arnold's even after Al took over for Mr. Miyagi.

I am bummed about Ossie Davis. Does this mean that BUBBA HO-TEP is his swan song?
