Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At which point I open the door and say, "You're ringing my doorbell!" And they're like "Oh, is that your doorbell? We weren't sure." Aaah!

Oy vey. They sound like idiots. This isn't the drug-issues neighbor, is it?

Man, it makes me want to sell, cash out, and go live in the South Pacific.

One of my professors keeps talking about friends of his who are talking about selling their place in the West Village ($$$$) and buying a place out in Queens near msbelle ($$), and using the rest of the money for Other Stuff. It's not a crazy notion...

I had the funniest subway trip home just now. First I was reading a fun book. Then there were two high school boys trying to chat up this young woman who was just amused. I think everyone on our end of the car was laughing. One of the boys finally said, "Come on, miss -- at some point, the priest is going to have to say Do you take... to be your wife, and I'll have to know then!!" Heh. Stupid boy. Then on my way out of the train, there was a man behind me singing Jodeci, so now I'm listening to them. Good times.

Nope, just flaky. Dude has been living here since October, and he hasn't figured out which doorbell is his yet. Seriously.

That's well beyond flaky, I'd say.

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

Thanks for all the condolences, guys. I really appreciate it.

Tonight's CSI is by Jerry Stahl ( [link] ), who's written a bunch of other notable CSIs, as well as Permanent Midnight. FYI.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm watching the rerun of last Sunday's Gray's Anatomy. It's still good.

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

I heard that doctors joining practices now were born after the IBM PC was first released.

I refuse to run the numbers. I couldn't bear it if it were true.

My prescription has barely changed in 3 years. Yay. And they did a test where I wore an eyepatch. I refrained from pirate jokes (and thought of tommyrot). Now the laundry is drying, while I try to get used to seeing the edge of the new frames.

While waiting for the glasses I went to the comic shop. There's a new Spike book that (according to the blurb) features Los Hermanos Numeros. And it might have involved Spike being accused of killing Elizabeth Short, I'm not really sure.
