I've gotten almost no work done today, but I'm pretending that it's OK because it's my birthday.
It is totally okay. I've no idea what my excuse is, but uh, there you have it.
Happy Birthday, Kate P.!
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

I noticed that the radiator was on this weekend when I picked up the toilet paper that I have been too lazy to replace the holder with (holder currently has the toilet paper I bought by mistake), and I noticed that the TP was warm.

the fear that all my atheist and agnostic friends are just being polite and secretly they think I'm a dipshit and an intellectual fraud.
I'm an atheist and I don't think that. Don't let louts like that guy get you paranoid.

I placed an order for carry out and hoofed it a couple of blocks in the cold to pick it up. I get back to my office, sit down, open up the styrofoam box, and discover...
No egg roll. It was supposed to come with an egg roll. Curses!
Screw you, Monday! I needed that egg roll more than you did!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, Kate P.!!!!!

I do not control my heat, although there are cute little knobs on the radiators that taunt you with their seeming usefulness. It kicked on either Thurday or Friday. It is on a weird cycle that usually has me cold by bedtime, but waking up hot around 5am. I did not have a termometer last year, but do this year, so I can track actual temps. My hope is to adjust cute knobs to almost off positions and have only wee heat until more is needed.

Another day, another rejection. I'm down to two left to tell me no.
Allyson, my papers have been rejected hundreds of times. The same is true of the rocket scientists that you work with. You just have to believe in what you are doing and keep trying until the world catches up with you.
I've read your excerpts. Your work is fresh and funny and insightful. It will find a publisher.
