Beth, I am in your neck of the woods,
yay!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Timelies, everyone.
Hi billytea!
I have way too much stuff to do tomorrow morning, and really nowhere near enough time to do it.
Also, just messed up my shoulder again. Feh.
However, I just finished reading Angels in America, which left me in a kind of neat mental space.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm currently plotting the death of car rental places.
The best quote so far came from priceline that quoted $20/day, $100/ five days.
Then added after I went so far, another $65 for "Taxes and fees"
WTF?
Any frequent travelers want to help me find something better in Phoenix? or is that very good for a rental car? It seems outrageous to me.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Daniel, $165 is not all that bad considering it falls under the "weekly" rental category. This is the business traveler rate. To get anything cheaper, you'd have to rent at the weekend rate or reserve far enough in advance, neither of which is possible.
Does the $65 in taxes and fees include the insurance provided by the rental car agency? IF it does, and you have a platinum-level credit card or your personal vehicle insurance covers rentals, decline it. It will save you a ton of money. Do you have AAA or other association memberships? They may provide a discount. Even a BJs or Costco membership could work.
I've looked and the cheapest I found was $180/week, including taxes and fees.

Nicole guestage has been achieved. Found each other at the airport, no problem. Went out for yummy appetizers as 10pm is just a little late for dinner and drove home. Here we are.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay!
And Boo, since I wish I could be there.
I decided to stay in Aptos tonight, instead of drive to Belmont. It means I will have to get up ungodly early, but I think it is the best bet nonetheless.

So. Very. Jealous. I have no Nicole, no SailAweigh, and no Perkins. Someone wanna swing by the Mid-Atlantic and pay me a visit?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I so cannot freakin sleep.
And I've decided to not move and just found my lease renewal form and now I'm all worried that it's too late to renew it (though I suspect I'm just paranoid and unable to read the legaleeese because I'm tired.)
The current lease expires at the end of the month. Surely I can just send this pup in with a check, right? Oy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Errr, timelies of sorts...
Run for your lives! The GIGANTIC Dark Sith Lord M&M approaches!!!I. Love. This.
Oh! And DebetEsse sent me the most excellent coaster! It's of the Penguin of Death: It occupies pride of place on my coffee table.Innit the best thing ever??? I tried to explain the Penguin and people looked like they wanted to restrain me. But it is wonderful....
I have had the dark chocolate peanut M&Ms. The colors are very goth. I have also had antidepressants. They are both good things, in their places.Still love Ginger though.
I am guessing your lease will be fine Trudy...
Eh, I have an obit here, a parent of a dear, but situationally long ago friend, that made me think for a while. I want to wish him well and also wish him peace. I guess my best will have to do...
