I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I'm getting the pig!

Is South Bend half-way? That's where she was about 20 minutes ago.

And where'd she find the tamarind balls? Those were tasty.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

A fruit market near me has them. I'm betting there are at least two other groceries near me that also carry them.

South Bend isn't quite halfway, but the additional 20 minutes would put her there.

So, I remember someone complaining about the big stretched pig Web ads she was seeing. I'd like to add my vote (in the category GetThisOffMyScreenNow of the Year) for the little "hit the bug and win an iPod" ads. Or any that feature speedy little cockroaches crawling through the ad, and thus in the corner of my vision while I'm trying to read a page. Eeeuch.

I have to sit through an online training session.

Could be in person. At least this way you don't have to look like you're paying attention.

In other news, I'm grumpy, my ears hurt, and people are still stupid.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just scheduled me a facial and brow wax for Friday morning.

I would have loved to get a massage, too, but frugality got in my way. me = dumbass. Or! As I try to convince myself, "responsible."

frugal != dumb. Do you get the whole day off?

Yeah, I e-mailed you something along those lines. And, er, porn.

Didn't we have this discussion:

NY Times on 'bitch'. "Epithet Morphs From Bad Girl to Weak Boy " [link]

They pretty much manage to dance around the sexuality of the phrase when applied to men outside of Oz, that is.

Oh you bet. I plan to then sit outside the coffee bean writing in my journal and looking pretentious.
