Excellent. I'll mail stuff at the end of next week. It's all packed and everything, so I'm not even being absentminded like usual!

And then you can write your second book, and tell me what the hell to write a book about, and then we'll both be rich and famous and we can slam each other via our publicists, and ita will have to break up the fights we start when we run into each other at trendy clubs, and one of us will date the other's ex-husband, and Kristen can write a thinly-veiled sitcom about the whole thing, and there'll be a True Hollywood Story about it.

...I mentioned the beer before, right?

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

I had the cats chasing a laser dot earlier and now every time I pick up the tv remote they alternately scan the floor and stare at me.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Today was my second cruddy-to-blah birthday in a row. It really is all downhill once you're older than Jesus.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm sorry to hear that Corwood. Any chance it will pick up before midnight?

I hope next year's is better, anyway. And have a happy day after your birthday tomorrow.

Ugh, Corwood, I'm sorry. When I have crappy birthdays, what bugs me the most is feeling like I shouldn't complain because it's not a big deal. Which is why I will say: you shouldn't have had a lousy birthday. That's no fair, and it is a big deal. Please complain at length if you want to, and don't feel bad about it.

I give the gift of venting, because it's all I have to offer.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm sorry to hear that. But happy birthday, Corwood!

Having crappy birthdays was why I started holding my own birthday parties. I was tired of waiting around for someone to hold a party for me so I did my own planning. Maybe that's a way to go?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm sorry your birthday wasn't more fun, Mr. Corwood!

Oh my dear sweet lord, just watched the last 3 hours of GA. I need to sleep.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I'd like to state for the record that a bowl of mashed potatoes, topped with corn, topped with fried chicken bits, topped with gravy, topped with cheese sounds really fucking gross.

The cheese ruins it for me, and I love cheese.

Dude, beer ALWAYS tastes gross.

That's what I thought, but I just discovered lambic beer. Cherry lambic beer = nectar of the gods. It's like really good natural soda with teeny tiny bubbles, and a really nice but not overwhelming buzz. OMG teh yum. Frankly, I'm not sure why they call it beer, except it's made with malt.
