Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

the only bill I don't have set up for online bill pay is my rent, which is kinda dumb as it is the bill I'm most likely to forget because they don't mail me a handy envelope saying, "yo dumbass, rent is due!"
Rent was the first bill I set up online through my bank. For this exact reason. That and the fact that sometimes I think I "know" the address for my landlord. And every time I write it from "memory" my check goes to the Chinese restaurant down the street.

My credit union just mails a check. It does hit my account faster but I don't have to actually remember to write a check and mail it. Tradeoffs.

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'd bring in Owen to cough on her.

But I'm spiteful.

hip deep in pie

It's around 70 and grey here. It was raining earlier and I actually wore a coat to the grocery store.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like I should alert Jesse and kat perez that they're showing a Doug E. Fresh video on VH-1 Classic.

Aw, man! However, I was off being a weather genius. To wit: Met my friend for lunch, and then we decided there was nothing to do other than go to the movies in the heat of the day. Did that, took the train home, and now it's raining and cooling right off. All the windows are open, and it's even cooling off in here! Yay.

You guys don't get a rent bill? Huh.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I just did something that totally freaked me out!

I was doing my shopping for the week, but it's raining pretty hard so I got trapped at the Wild Oats for a half an hour. So, when I get to the Sunfresh, it's still raining and I dash in to grab just a few things and dash out.

As I'm approaching my car, I notice the lights are on. And I think "but the lights are automatic when the car's on." When I get closer, I notice that all of the doors are unlocked! I reach for my keys but they are not in my pocket! I open the door, and not only are the keys in the ignition but THE CAR WAS RUNNING!

OMG!!

I am so stupid and sooo lucky at the same time, can't believe it!

edited because I am grammer chanllenged, as well

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We just had a rain storm here.

That cooled things down to 94°. Yay.

I am ashamed to admit that I have done this too.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Pity me, for I intend to go see The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green at the Outflix festival tonight, and current weather conditions (94°F) mean that I'll have to wear shorts and a short-sleeved shirt that will make me look even pudgier than I actually am. In a theater crammed full of all the local gay men that make up the bulk of my potential dating pool.

Meanwhile, a flattering pair of jeans and the poly blend long-sleeve navy pinstripe shirt that looks great on me are taunting from the clothesrack.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

One of my co-workers once did something like that on a business trip. He and my boss stopped at a restaurant, and as they were heading to the door, the co-worker realizes that he's locked the keys in their rental car. He tells my boss, and my boss says it's no problem, they'll call the rental car company now, and by the time they finish eating service should be there. Then the co-worker mentions that the engine's still running, too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We just had a rain storm here.

I wondered why everything was all wet.

(I was in the movie theatre. The Aristocrats was disappointing.)
