Now tagless for your comfort.

PlayStation maker Sony Corp (SNE.N). has been granted a patent for beaming sensory information directly into the brain.

Cashmere, the fact that you have a "usually" for this situation does not make me happy. Yikes.

Kate, we're on the fringe of a nice neighborhood (the governor's mansion is five minutes away) that is wedged between three very questionable neighborhoods. The bad is that those folks move into the bad neighborhoods close enough to warrant a notification. The good is that our municipality has more police per resident than any other in this city. Also, my next-door neighbor is a cop, so other than being freaked out by the idea, we're still pretty safe.

That's not to say that we're not looking to move out of the fringe and into the legitimately nicer part of our neighborhood in the next few years.

Noon already. How'd that happen?

Today I need to decide what I want for lunch before I go out. Yesterday I tried the "walk around until I figure out what I want" method, and it turned out what I wanted was two new pairs of shoes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You must have walked a long time on rough terrain.

Tasty, but tough.

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

You don't have any leftover shoe for today? Two pair sounds like a lot.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was out of the office this morning so my time clock is all off. I have a lot to get through today and keep getting interrupted by phone calls and visitors, both unusual.

The good news is that I have ticked 3 things off my to-do list, got $200 in before the mail has been delivered, AND have scheduled a job interview which may get me out ofthis place.

Oh, good luck with the interview, msbelle!

danke. I can't leave here until mid-May so it's nothing immediate, but still excited.

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

Yikes! Serious, SERIOUS brain-ma for Deena's niece. That just sounds...invasive is only the first word it brings to mind. I know the brain's ability to reconnect pathways through alternate routes is pretty remarkable, but I didn't know they were doing this kind of thing as a procedure.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

My boss just gave me the "that's not a very nutritious lunch, young lady" lecture. I find myself tempted to purchase a beer helmet and write "LUNCH" on it in permanent marker.
