Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Erin, my French is a little rusty (though I've been trying to get it better -- language exam for my Ph. D. will be sometime next year), but I'm pretty sure that's right.

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

Ugh, ridiculous headache that I don't know how I acquired. WTF? Don't know if I should hole up in my house or head out for life-sustaining caffeine.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Oh my with the muggy and the sticky. Today might be the day to install the new A/C.

Went to return some overdue books to the library only to discover that my local branch IS CLOSED FOR 10 WEEKS!! WTF?!?! Now I have to travel to a faraway and scary unknown branch to return books and pay a fine. WAH.

Anyone building a dog?

I just brushed enough fur from my own to cover two to three mid-size ones. If demand is high, I'm pretty sure I can do the same thing tomorrow.

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

I can donate some cat fur and we can create a whole new species!

I was in the bookstore and the clerks were talking about dog temperments and how some require more training to overcome certain inclinations. The clerk asked me if I had any dogs. "Nope, I have cats. I am very well trained."

The weather is actually normal for this time of year. Low 80s and a bit muggy. It's nice. But they need to repair my a/c soon. It's started turning off without me resorting to pulling the breaker, but it really isn't as robust as it used to be. I'm told this year they have a lot of spare parts as well as replacement units ON SITE and are operating on the assumption that all original units will need one or the other. I'll believe it when I see it. Since the fire and the firing of the maintenance manager (that BITCH), maintenance response has been pretty prompt and effective. But I've been burned before.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

First day of vacation! Had brunch with a new friend, bought an outrageously expensive, gorgeous skirt at a boutique where my hair was the subject of much fawning (weird), am off to make an appointment for a mani/pedi, and then will clean the fuck out of my apartment in preparation for finishing the book without having chores hanging over me.

It's a good Saturday.

Yay Allyson! Has the new hair grown on you any? And does the outside affirmation help?
