It's just as well I lived at home and never roomed with anyone in college, because detectives would still be trying to find out what I did with all the bodies if anything like that had ever happened.

Matt-You were wise. It ended up that getting married, having a full-time job and finishing two majors simultaneously was easier on me my junior and senior years that living on campus!

My goals: Not hate my job. Perhaps even vaguely enjoy going to work. Make enough money to have fun outside of work. Have enough vacation to go to do things other than work.

We have to write goals every year at work as part of our annual review process. My unwritten goals each year include "Don't quit" and "Don't kill anyone".

Well, that was interesting.

Out walking the dog. Just up the street a news crew filming: across the street, a bunch of people clustered around a pair of unmoving legs sticking out from between two cars.

As it turned out, it was a news crew interviewing someone and an entirely unrelated group across the street attempting a search and retreive on a cat who got all up in some SUV's business.

Lucy was able to help pinpoint the cat's precise location, at any rate. Rather emphatically.

Did you see the story? A woman was attacked on your block around 2am this morning. She was tackled and trapped under him, she sprayed him with pepper spray and got away. The attacker is still at large. So, please please please be careful. Keep Lucy with you while you're out.

Yeah, my neighbor just told me. Freaky.

Yikes! Be careful out there....

My grandmother grew up on Briar Place.

Why did I buy Air Supply's All Out of Love? I thought I was confusing myself with Father Figure and Faith from George Michael, but at least I was at ground zero for those...

I had such a good time at dinner that I don't think I can ever take a break from krav because it's the only thing that gets me actually seeing people (and uh, grossing them out, and laughing until I don't have enough oxygen).

I'm such a lamer these days that the fun has to come right up to me. I can't seek it out myself.
