I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

OK, that's freaky. It's a damn small world.

Then why hasn't anyone visited me in Melbourne yet? Pfft. Slackers.

Holy crap! THAT'S MY THERAPIST! That's the therapist that helped Bec and me during our marriage breakup! Bec and TOG are in that group! (Not Clem and Marie, of course.)

Holy shit! That's so freaky!!!! Wow.

I found that article super depressing when I read it, Sunday. I wasn't sure what it really told me about relationships, though.

One of my friends moved there from Christchurch? Another friend is visiting her at Thanksgiving?

I found it pretty comforting myself. There was only one couple there in truly serious trouble, and even they were getting somewhere.

Oh! And I have (obliquely) been referred to in the NYT! That's pretty cool.

And yet, I still notice an absence of meara. Though you did make it to Sydney, so you get a pass.

I found the article insightful but a bit on the oh-no side.

I hate when it's a brajillion degrees out. it makes me and my son CRANKTASTIC.

Happy Birthday to Dylan.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The funniest thing about that post is that when I was in Kent, I went to a restaurant where they had "pussy pie" on the menu. We had to order it, of course. We were laughing so hard the waitress had to ask twice.

Um, Cashmere... what was in it?

Holy crap! That's just weird!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Um, Cashmere... what was in it?

Chocolate and whipped cream and I dunno what else. Simon said it tasted awful. And NOT like pussy. or even pie. I think it was a drink.

I may have been a little drunk at the time and the details are getting hazier.

Holy crap! THAT'S MY THERAPIST! That's the therapist that helped Bec and me during our marriage breakup! Bec and TOG are in that group! (Not Clem and Marie, of course.)

That is just bizarre in a "small world" kind of way.

Hey shrift and Jilli - did you see Idolator ranked Patrick Stump as the second-hottest dude in music?

Yep. I am baffled as to how he ranked hotter than Gerard Way, but I'm biased like that.

The world is shrinking again, isn't it?
