What is even happening?

Happy Birthday, Dana!!!

I loved turning 30. I don't know why, but I did. May it be so for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I put on outside pants, and my shoes.

Perkins, have I told you how much I love the concept of "outside pants"? Because I do. I had to explain it to my mother the other weekend, too.

I liked turning 30 quite a bit, but I have to confess that I'm really looking forward to my next birthday -- 33! I have a friend who put a great perspective on the 30 thing, which is that if you're really going to fuck up your life, odds are it'll be in your 20s. So if you make it to 30 OK, things should be fine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hee. I bought two more pairs of inside pants last night, at Old Navy (their "just bottoms"). They were cheap. and are sooo comfortable.

I liked being 30, but I spent my 30th birthday in a hotel room in Portland, ME, knowing I was getting sick, and thinking I had blown the job interview I had in Portland, so NSM turning 30.

My actual 30th birthday was the bomb. Well, the day itself was whatever like all of my birthdays (morning with family, then travel), but I got a surprise party a couple of weeks earlier! With special guests from out of town! And all of my friends! It was fab.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Five-dimensional Rubik's Cube puzzle

MagicCube5D is a five-dimensional analog of the Rubik's Cube puzzle. It comes as a Windows executable, and requires that you grok a little n-dimensional topology before you can try to solve it -- so far, three brave souls have!

I hate those three people....

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

I had a great 30th birthday party. The speech was extra-fun, I went through what I learned from my family. "From my father I learned that you can go to work every day in a wig and a dress and still command respect. ...From Gareth I learned that all new kids at our high school get their heads flushed down the toilet. Then I got to high school and I learned that Gareth is a liar. ...And from my sister I learned that it was time to leave home." In response to Keiran's heckling, something about sexual positions, "I hear that your favourite position is man on top, woman in magazine." One of the few times I've seen him at a loss for a response.

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

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

The A/C that was just installed yesterday. dead today. They are coming to my house to fix or deem a replacement is needed on Friday. Feh is all I have to say.

After yesterday which pooped me, I had an even busier today.

phone calls with Israel, to work for an hour and a half, church, brunch with friends, walked 2 miles, some housewares shopping, then home.

I set about cooking and I think the chicken I had thawed out was bad, it smelled a little wrong when I cooked it, so into the trash it went. FEH again. But I did get 3 things made for lunches and dinners this week. That at least is a start.
