I just had the freakiest lunch of my life. I was eating at the juice bar of this crunchy-granola co-op deli, and the developmentally disabled woman next to me kept patting and rubbing my shoulder and waving her hand around in front of my face and over my food as she got more and more animated in conversation with the person at the next stool over. Note to self: not a good place to eat for touch-avoidant people.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
do people keep bills for credit cards, electricity, phone, etc. once paid?
Yes. Five years, and then they get shredded. I have no idea where I pulled 5 years from (possibly my hindquarters), but it's in my brain and my filing cabinet can accomodate that without difficulty.
He now has his own collection of test tubes (!!!!) and a petri dish that he insisted on gluing a plastic bug in. He's calling it his 'spurmint and it is going everywhere with him.
Awwwww! A world of bless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hee!
if I kept it, it would become a pile of undifferentiated paper in which I could find nothing important anyway.
This is my problem. I hate filing at work, I hate filing at home.
I just made lunch (linner), and I think I must be 9 years old. I'm eating mac and cheese with hotdogs in, and drinking orange soda. I mean, seriously.

Happy Birthday, Jessica!
Grey and rainy day here. I napped on the couch for a lovely hour or so just now. There's laundry to do and a kitchen to clean, but... not yet. I'm sure I have a show or two to catch up on first.

Thanks for the birthday happies, guys! I think I must be a rain god, because the clouds seems to be wishing me happy birthday too.
For my birthday, I saw a morning screening of Happy Feet (NOT the carefree romp the trailers and posters would have you believe!) and then went to an open-house. The apartment turned out to be AMAZING, and DH and I both really want it. So now we have to start seriously talking to bank people about money. We have no idea what we're doing. Wish us luck!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy Birthday, Jessica!
So I'm watching Cruel Intentions (in memory of Reese-n-Ryan!), and it's funny how everyone in it is recognizable. I forgot that the shrink's daughter is Tara Reid, and the guy in bed with Pacey is the boss on Ugly Betty. Funny.That movie is one of my guilty pleasures. In no small part because Ryan Phillipe is one of my guilty pleasures.

Happy Birthday, Jessica!
In other news, I need to stop watching What You Get for the Money on HGTV. It's kinda depressing.

Happy Birthday, Jess! You're thinking of buying an apartment? In what neighborhood?

Good bank luck, Jess!

Watching it on basic cable is really tragic -- not only is half the dialog fucked up, they cut scenes left and right.

I know, right? By this time next year, I'll be (fingers crossed) a homeowner with a kid. Crazy!
The apartment's in Kensington, about halfway between the F and B/Q Church Ave stations.
