The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

But the important question is, can I sort socks at your house?

Hell yeah!

I can put JZ's laundry away at your house? I didn't know you had a wormhole at your house!

Yes, You can! Just don't tell anyone else about the wormhole.

Punishingly Intricate

ack, a friend just called to tell me she has news that she wants to tell me "in person." Now I'm all anxious! (She wasn't upset or anything so I think it's fundamentally good news but I think it might be that she and her husband, also a friend, are going to move...which good for them but sad for me!)

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

I had a Latin teacher who recommended muttering conjugations as a way to avoid potential mugging while walking through sketchy neighborhoods.

When I took my first German class in high school, several of us started conjugating the verb "sein" in place of swearing. Pretty satisfying. And that's a big chunk of the tiny little bit of German I remember.

Actually acting distracted and unaware of what's going on around you is a good way to make yourself an attractive candidate for mugging.

I think he was going for "crazy person to be avoided" but, yeah, I see your point.

The status is NOT quo.

I hate putting clothes away. I don't mind doing laundry, but I hate the aftermath. I am also in the "must lay out clothes the night before" camp. I am so indecisive in the morning that I'd end up late every day otherwise.

I can't wait for Joe to get paid for his time in California.
And well deserved for the work he and the others did. They did great work, from everything I've heard.

I can't wait for Drew to get paid so he can pay Joe and everyone else. He's been working around the clock on this gig for more than a month, and we've yet to see a penny of profit on it. The first paycheck went almost entirely to scads of equipment and those stylish Diablo Sound t-shirts and jackets (which were spendy. yikes), and this second paycheck is going almost entirely to paying his employees. He won't be able to put anything in the bank until the third paycheck, which I don't believe he gets until the end of the project on Halloween. Ironically, given that this is his highest paying gig of the year, we are strapped for cash right now.

Hm. I appear to be spewing money gunk all over Natter. Sorry about that.

Allow me to change the subject.

Cheese. Discuss.

Ha! The new pants I was so looking forward to wearing today? I finally put them on and the zipper immediately broke.

I think I will reinvent myself as an agoraphobic nudist.

"AMO! AMAS! AMAT!"
"Fuck! He knows Latin!"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I started channeling Lindsey and scratching out the word KILL over and over with my fingertip.
brenda's got an evil finger.
