Okay, somebody finally thought to apply some scientific principles to the eternal disappearing flatware problem:

Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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 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?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
BF did the dog walk this morning so I got to sleep in ('til 8am, but still--lounging! in bed! past 6:30 am!). Since then I have changed the bed, done all the laundry, vacuumed the carpet and curtains, and shampooed the carpet. I am tired but feel quite accomplished. BF has taken the dog to be groomed, eaten lunch, read the paper and practiced his guitar. I can tell he feels VERY guilty for sitting about while I clean, even though I keep telling him it's fine. I harbor no bitter feelings since he'll be doing yard work all freaking day tomorrow while I go shoe shopping. Love me some shoe shopping!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I spent much of the afternoon finding out the weights of various lighting instruments and Schedule 40 pipe so that I could come up with a total weight for a lighting rig and determine if it is possible to hang with three truss units.
I wonder if it'd be cheaper to get Pat Robertson to hold the rig up with his legs.
