Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

move out and draw fire

Also, Raq, if you're still around.... I tagged you

I'm back, and I'm It!

I was just debating whether to ask for some health~ma in Press, and it occurred to me that the Buffista "-ma" tradition is tantamount to prayer.

I received the most annoying of all bill hammocks today: Handed the tollbooth guy € 3 for the € 2.50 toll. He handed me my change all wadded up in the receipt. Seriously, he'd crumpled the receipt around the change, so I couldn't just drop it into the change cup without looking while accelerating away and trying to not ram anyone. I dropped the whole thing into the passenger seat to deal with later, and the change promptly escaped the wadded paper and headed for the upholstery crease.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I saw a commercial for that last night. Were my tired eyes deceiving me or was the tagline for the chicken fries, Coq Roq?

On investigation, mine eyes were right: CoqRoq.com.

Dude, if there were CoqRoq t-shirts, I would SO buy one.

I'm feeling out of the family loop. I found out that my cousin got a divorce just because my mom mentioned his divorce in passing.

What'ca doing in Detroit Steph?

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

I get my change handed to me on tio of the stack of bill(s) pretty often, and it doesn't bother me. Making it into a hammock by holding the ends I haven't seen and think is weird.

My favorite way to get change is when the little auxiliary change machine spits it into a metal cup. I just think it's neat.

I found out my brother had gotten married the same way. From him.

But my brother is just WEIRD.

Oh wait, I just realized my good association with "Have a blessed day" --- in DC, can you still call that crazy cafeteria menu line with the lady who loves you so much and sings and whatnot? Man, she got me through many a bad day when I lived down there. I think she ended with "Have a blessed day." Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

The menu lady! Yes, I remember her. I enjoyed listening to her from time to time.

what, the Bible hasn't aired on the West Coast yet?

You even have to ask?

In three days, I am leaving for a week at the beach, and I am very, very happy about that.

I found out my brother had been in rehab for three weeks from my mother -- who mentioned it in passing.

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 think we're from the same family, Theodosia.
