Brenda, how I identify with the wish to be rid of one's possessions in a move. About halfway through the disgorging of the moving truck here, I was ready to tell the guys to close it up and drive it all away to charity, even though I had no idea which possessions they'd brought in so far. Eventually it all fit....
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

I'm reading a fashion magazine article about Björk, and just cracked up over the following:
"Onstage in the past, I used to just wear whatever I was wearing at the time," she says casually, apparently forgetting that what she wears to the supermarket is more daring than other singers' wildest stage clothes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes, brenda! Be careful!!
That goes for many of y'all, actually. Or all y'all.
That NYTimes illustration was perfectly clear. Pie is kind of gay, tractors are definitely gay, etc.
Shower was lovely, transportation no problem, etc. Except I didn't recognize someone I've met many times, but not in years. Oops.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Cowgirl, i was at a yearly dinner last night, where the hostess did not recognize me again. Geez, woman, I see you at this thing EVERY year, do you always have to tell me it's nice to meet me?

Yikes, Brenda. Tread carefully.
Yay for fun showers and dinners.
Has everyone seen the Mentos & Diet Coke Bellagio-like fountain display already? It's been there a while, but I just saw it today, so... [link] Some people make me smile.
Eated too much for brunch. Am in recovery mode now. Will be assembling furniture with friend for his new apartment later. And the weather is gorgeous here, too.

Oh yeah, that's annoying. I didn't think hard enough before arriving, because there weren't many people there, and I could predict most (all, it turned out) of who would be there. So of course that woman who wasn't the bride's sister was her cousin!

jesse--you haven't seen this person in years, no reason you should remember her right off.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
msbelle, what's the brand name for the ipod sound system you have, and are you still happy with it?

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's been a gorgeous day here and I've slept most of it away. Stayed up too late watching Zodiac, which was actually a decent movie.
brenda, you can also clean up bits of broken glass with an apple or potato, cut in half. Be careful and make sure you wear shoes in!
