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

It was even kind of fun, once I got past the IM IN YR STOR TAKING NAPS ON YR BEDS thing.

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

Guess whose fault it is that schools want to teach "secular" evolution?

[link]

The one-page memorandum, marked “From: Representative Ben Bridges,” declared that “tax-supported evolution science” was based on religion and therefore unlawful under the United States Constitution.

It continued, “Indisputable evidence — long hidden but now available to everyone — demonstrates conclusively that so-called secular evolution science is the Big Bang 15-billion-year alternate ‘creation scenario’ of the Pharisee Religion.”

“This scenario,” the memorandum stated, “is derived concept-for-concept from Rabbinic writings on the mystic ‘holy book’ kabbala dating back at least two millennia.”

It's goofy, I feel sort of compelled to drive because I'm paying for it. Which, really, I'm paying for the convenience of not being inconvenienced, but still. It's funny.

I feel this way all the time, which is why, if I have a lot of work to do at home like this weekend, I don't get a car.

M IN YR STOR TAKING NAPS ON YR BEDS thing.

Yeah, I'm not sure I ever got over that when I bought my bed. I kept telling the salesguy to go away cause it creeped me out.

I have walked to Home Despot (cause really, I think I'm pushing my luck far enough with all things mechanical this week) and purchased a new switch socket. And I have replaced it in the lamp. And LO! There is light.

I feel this way all the time, which is why, if I have a lot of work to do at home like this weekend, I don't get a car.

It's just like insurance. Except that I'm ok with insurance and I can't get my head to accept the equivalence.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

This morning I decided I hated my bed, but I do have to admit that occasionally not being able to get comfortable to sleep is probably not going to be cured by buying a new bed, especially when I'm jobless.

Because books.

We so need a new mattress. My parents bought us ours when I was pregnant with Jake. He turned 15 in September. No wonder it's beginning to sag.

Mine was only 10 or 11 years old, but it wasn't very good to begin with, and it's been through three moves, so it was definitely time.

I need to take Lee mattress shopping with me, clearly.

My mattress is only 8 years old, but it was really cheap mattress, and it's not very comfortable.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I probably need a new mattress. It's not going to happen until after I move at the end of March, though. And I'm sure the delivery guys who won't have to cart mattresses up to and down from my current third floor apartment would be very happy about this, if they knew. Anyway, I went shopping with someone else for their new mattress last summer and fell in love with the cushy soft mattresses in the store.

What is even happening?

Wow, I had no idea Britney was cracking up. I mean, she hasn't ever really seemed right, and since Federline came and then left, it's been worse, but I'm sort of worried for the girl. What the heck? Someone's got to step in there and help her out. She's a mess. [link]
