I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Happy numberth birthday, Nutty!

I know the youngest boy's first name is Ian. He came to school in a dress shirt, tie, and slacks--his hair high and tight and I was wondering about hwo formal he looked (we don't have a dress code). Then I spotted a wee little diamond stud in one ear. Adorable.

Awww. On Emmett's first day of school, Hec and I noticed one girl among the third graders who was dressed incredibly formally: black velvet dress with white lace trim at the cuffs and collar and hem of the skirt, tights, patent leather shoes, and, instead of a backpack, a large leopard-print purse. Emmett's mom, who was a teacher's aide in most of the classes last year, said, "Oh, her, yes. She's always dressed like that. Long dresses, velvet, usually a hat." Jilli-in-training!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Nutty!

According to the Boston Foundation and the Citizens' Housing and Planning Association's "Housing Report Card" cost of living is the highest in the country.

BAH. Come on, everyone knows NYC is #1!!

move out and draw fire

Have fun storming the Kenya, ita!

Happy Birthday, Nutty!

le nubian, I was just reading a piece on the labor blog that ties in with your post. [link]

Step by step, [the] Bush [Administration] has been dismantling every rule and every law that they can that would ensure loyalty by government employees to the public, rather than to the political needs of the incumbent.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday, Nutty.

Put me in the list of appalled at some people's stupidty and tastless offensiveness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Have fun storming the Kenya, ita!

How sad is it that I wondered if anyone would say this?

Happy birthday, Nutty!

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

I don't suppose you've heard that any of your friends/neighbors/relatives have moved to the Boston area?

No, but I didn't even know that one of my best friends from high school had had their baby (I knew she was due, but didn't know the details - they're the ones who moved down here and then back up). I'm not familiar with current happenings Up There.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NUTTY!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Birthday, Nutty!!
