But you did it! Now you can flop.
No. I can't. I have so much reading I didn't finish that I can't really go to sleep. Instead, I'm going to nap for an hour then wake up and read as much as I can, then sleep again.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's really great. It's a one-bedroom on a side street in a prewar building. Which means high ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors and moldings and floorboards. It's really big, 750 sq feet. I rented it like five minutes after seeing it and didn't even notice all the beautiful details like the two-tone paint job around the moldings. It's a really old building so the apartment has like 20 coats of paint but is charming nonetheless.

That's so huge. Separate dining room?

Oh, I'm sorry. Well, may your nap be refreshing.
bon, that sounds AWESOME. I'm quite envious. That's the size of my apartment, but without the high ceilings, mouldings classy hardwood and all that.
Last weekend, I was in one of Baltimore's 1900 "painted lady" rowhouses (modelled after the SF painted ladies style from way back when) that made me nearly cry with envy. Transoms to every room, blocked off fireplaces on every floor, but with the original mantles. Inlay on the wood floors. Original tilework, octagonal. Was just GORGEOUS.

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

Now tagless for your comfort.
Working in a Jewish high school has me spouting random bits of badly pronounced Hebrew frequently. I still can't say the "ch" sound correctly. I sound like such a lame WASP when I try
My Jewish neighbor's daughter is named Chen-li. My pronounciation of it always makes me cringe internally. I would love to be able to do it correctly--especially when I address her directly.
Yeah, it's swell that...mediocrity wins.

Oh, funnest part was walking the red carpet with ita, Kat, and Kristen. It was hilarious.
I would have sprinted across the red carpet but a) I thought that might have attracted more attention and b) new shoes.

When I'd spend the night at one friend's house, I'd get to go to hebrew school with her and her siblings. I was a source of great amusement with my attempts.

I think I just suck at all pronounciation in general. My Welsh friend laughed like a drain whenever I tried to say Llanelli--which is where he is from. It apparently has a "th" sound in there somewhere but I'm damned if I can find it.

Somewhere I heard an explanation on how to pronounce several different languages by varying the amount of phlegm in the back of one's throat....
