Organizing and decluttering - just got more complicated. The dust is trying to choke me. Matt will be going to the hardware store later - and he will buy me some cheap masks. He will eventually be helping me - but right now there really is only room for one person in here. At least I am through 80 %of the loose paper...
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Plus, you've got to murder relatives and such.
You don't even know. Got a call from my Dad three days ago.
Dad: "I don't think we can make it."
Me: "You better make it. We've moved heaven and earth to align this whole event for you. Five months lead time for you to plan and all kinds of re-arranging. I can't tell you how many fights have been fought already."
Dad: "Well, we got tickets into LA so we could drive up with Ollie and Anita. But now they can't go."
Me: "But you already bought the tickets! Are you telling me you're going to fly out from Florida to LA and stay there for a week instead of coming up to San Francisco?"
Dad: "Also the hotels are too expensive. They're like $80 to $130."
Me: "That's incredibly cheap for San Francisco! We gave you the cheapest listings you're going to find."
Dad: "Well, we don't live in San Francisco."
Me: %@%##$$**&&&!!"
Dad: "You don't have to jump on my ass about it."
Yesterday he calls and says, "Okay, we sorted it out. We're staying at the Columbia Motor Lodge."
At least when my Dad creates a problem out of nothing he fixes it two days later.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
He will either be AA or AAA.Suzi's son is a battery. Pass it on.
Much baptism family coping~ma to the Zmayhems.
I have a cranberry liqueur. It's not as good as I hoped it would be. But I'm consuming it anyway.

move out and draw fire
My house is also unchristmassed, and somewhat clean, and two rooms have been gone through and stuff thrown out. I feel all noble and stuff.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My apartment is still Christmased and a mess. I don't feel like dealing with it right now. We'll probably tackle it tomorrow. TCG is currently reading outside, in January, in MA, it is the weirdest winter I ever remember.

I am also in the cleaning and organizing mode. I'm cleaning out a kitchen drawer. If there's a twist-tie shortage anywhere, I know know why.
All your twist ties are belong to me.

Our wings are not tired.
I tried the cleaning and unholidaying. It hasn't worked out so well yet.

From the article about the "Subway Superman" and his recognitions.
The last recipient was Housing Authority employee Felix Vasquez, who caught a baby thrown from a New York City burning building in 2005.
Well, a couple of day's ago, two guys caught a kid who fell off a fire escape. It might be a big year for heros in New York.
