Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

And belated wishes to Ouise, and jengod and Paul. Yay July babies!!

My party was last night, and I got many bottles of champagne, 2 bootleg DVDs of Eddie Izzard shows, Seasons 1 & 2 of Buffy, and fresh herbs. It rocked.

Now I'm going to go outside and MELT in the heat. Oy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Our wings are not tired

China to send pig sperm to space

Sounds like someone lost a bet.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

China to send pig sperm to space

Because....they were running out of places to store it?

I just got home from fruitless errands and spent the past 45 minutes outside in the heat, fanning my neighbor until the paramedics showed up. See, it's been hot. It's been humid (the dewpoint is mid 70s, that humid.) Turns out, my elderly neighbor, the one who had a stroke 5 years ago and has had numerous minor episodes since, HASN'T HAD A/C IN A WEEK. WHICH IS ILLEGAL. The stupid fucks who I've had to deal with WITHOUT a medical letter, who took a month to fix my a/c, are giving her the same run around. So now she's off the hospital with chestpains and numbness that she rates a 10.

Luckily, her whole extended family was here (which is why she even tried to go out) and one of them is a property manager who knows the system, so she's going to rip them a new one.

Once we know she's doing better, we are going to yell at her for a) not taking her medicine this morning and b) not knocking on my door at some point and asking to stay here, or calling family to go over to stay with them. She's stubborn and has a lot of pride and I think over-estimates her ability to manage. She doesn't really let her younger sister (who lives there too) or her great grandkids take care of her. She's sort of the matriarch.

Blerg.

And the shoes I was going to buy just went off sale and I won't pay that much for them. Minor stuff.

Always Anti-fascist!

How come leaving a negative comment for the asshole who didn't send me the book I paid for makes *me* feel like the asshole? (Besides my Leary-like embrace of the word "asshole")
