Maybe the library could help you find a place -- an afterschool center or something like that.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I will look into both those options--thanks!

Locally in MA, there's a book donation charity that is happy to take old comic books -- the ones they can't sell get given away to kid centers and prisons, et cetera.
You could also try giving away the lot on Freecycle.

What is even happening?
Marilee Jones, the dean of admissions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, became well known for urging stressed-out students competing for elite colleges to calm down and stop trying to be perfect. Yesterday she admitted that she had fabricated her own educational credentials, and resigned after nearly three decades at M.I.T. Officials of the institute said she did not have even an undergraduate degree.I kind of love this. It is wrong and I'm not disputing that, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The library might take the comics themselves, even.
Ms. Jones did apparently stop trying to be perfect....
I blame bon bon for the fact that I'm currently watching poker on TV. I did get my dry cleaning and talk to my grandmother, so that's something.

Just consider Matt, that it's a good thing that none of your neighbors had a video camera, or else you'd be up on YouTube right now. See? It could have been so worse..
This is true. At least the day shaped up after 11 am with sex, hanging out with my bartender friend over lunch to watch the draft, touring MCA during the Arts Festival, finally getting a haircut after 3 failed tries (even though I had to drive 16 freakin' miles from home to find a salon that would serve me, at least they did a good job!), and mellowing out for dinner on the patio of the good Thai restaurant nearby in absolutely perfect weather. It was actually one of the best days I've had this year despite its Oscar the Grouch-y beginnings.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oooh, what are you watching?

In other news, this is hilarious: this morning, I emailed a friend to see if she could catch a drink when I get to DC tomorrow night (DCistas, it seemed like too much of a long shot to try to set something up -- best case scenario, I'm getting to my hotel at like 8), and she wrote back saying she was in New York! So we're getting together tonight here, instead.

Fascinating pictures. Man, am I glad I took a new job that does not involve crossing the bridge every day anymore...
