All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Is the snow fucking up traffc?

The snow isn't terrible but the timing sucked. It's probably difficult to have snowplows in the middle of rush hour traffic. Very slow going.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Allyson, those glasses are great and will undoubtedly look GREAT on your face.

should I go back to curl under rather than flip?

sarameg, I adore your hair. It's fierce. So no. don't go under. Unless you're tired of the flip (which have I said, I love?) then do what pleases you.

I went to my second yoga class today. Peter's class. It was good to go because I haven't been to his class in a month and I was feeling guilty. But at the end he said, "I thought I wouldn't see you anymore. You're totally at mixed level now and should be in those classes." Which was great to hear. It's fun to go to basics classes though because you get to concentrate on different aspects of poses and transitions (and be better than at least some people in the room... not that it's a competition or anything... but, you know....)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, the assumption there is that G*d's priorities and your priorites are the same thing. If you believe that there is a vast eternal creator and that the vast eternal creator decided to make knees we'd consider "wonky" you accept that G*d could have his reasons.

The Bible does say we were created in God's image. Maybe he's like this cranky Victor meldrew guy sitting there and giving orders like "Now give 'em wonky knees, 'cause that's how it happened to me!"

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

I don't know what my glasses look like. I got new lenses in them and then forgot them at the eye store in the hustle and bustle to move. So, I called and they kindly sent my contacts & glasses to me via overnight. Except that DHL lost them. So now, the poor manager of the store is picking out a new set of frames for me to put new lenses in, and she's seen me like twice. I did tell her my preferences and what I look like, but I have no idea what they'll end up looking like. Good thing I never wear them outside the house.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Now give 'em wonky knees, 'cause that's how it happened to me!"

"I walked to god school up hill BOTH WAYS in winter!"

"Why did you make it winter?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I'm watching a Cash Cab from the other day, and Tiki Barber's agent gets in the cab. And calls Tiki for his shoutout and totally tanks and loses pretty quickly, but still. Fun.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I have the exact same PR question as Jesse for the exact same reason.

Watch, they didn't show the end of the question anyway.

Also, the Cash Cab just picked up people on my old corner, I shit you not.
