Damn, Sara, your new job covers a lot of territory!
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I would like to be working from home today. Not "working" from home, actual working. Just, not here.

I don't think I can add it to the "Significant Accomplishments" portion of my annual review.
It was cute. Not much longer or thicker than a pencil, gray with brownish splots. It even opened its mouth and was all wee and fierce once.
Not one of the guys wanted to touch it. I picked it up, showed it off, and then carried it outside to roam freely in the ravine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My mom and her sisters used to play with snakes as children. They'd drape snakes around their necks and dance around.

I'm glad I got a good pair of Rx sunglasses a couple years ago-- I have them in a hard-sided case that is always found in one of my handbags, so they don't get lost.
I love both of my Rx sunglasses! I don't lose them in the same way I don't lose my regular glasses (I have multiples of those too). Which is to say, I set them down and occasionally misplace them, but I know where the other pair is so it's no big.
I was also surprised that LensCrafters has a nice selection of fashionable-looking sunglass frames.
You can also get regular frames turned into Rx sunglasses without too much of a hassle.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Huh. He answered his own question (which he posed during the 2000 campaign): "Is our children learning?"

School just ended. I have four hours of parent-teacher conference night to get through tonight, with another three tomorrow morning. I picked up my conference schedule, and it's empty. I have coffee but no sweetener, no snacks, and four 9-week exams to write, it's dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses.
Well, no. But wish me luck. I may be nattering a lot.

ION, Tim Goodman reviews the new show Moonlight:
"Moonlight," on the other hand, is just flat-out awful. It's a much easier distinction. In fact, "Moonlight" may well be the worst new fall show.
This year that takes effort. "Moonlight" revolves around a nice vampire named Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin), who wants to save people and solve crimes, not bite them and commit crimes.
It's just heinous. Absurd, laughable, painful to watch - you name it, "Moonlight" has it all. Woeful acting? Check. Cheap effects? Check. Worst writing of the new season? Check. Predictability? Pretensions? Faint imitations of superior shows? Someone at CBS shouldn't just have their neck bitten, but sliced through, for this one.
