It is sad that the millions of dollars are so often wasted on boring millionaries when there are people like Alibelle who could put it to interesting use.

I should probably make this my new tag.

Also, secret passageways are AWESOME. And a totally sound investment.

His whole place was like that. He had a little Alice in Wonderland door you had to pass through to get to the billiards room which had a mezzanine where he wrote, overlooking the cactus garden in the back yard.

Also, he had gargoyles on his eaves.

I'm 28, and people keep making me feel old all the time! And a loser.

Aw! You're not a loser! Tonight's birthday girl was in my crowd at grad school, and was one of the younger members, but now she's the old one in her current grad school program, so that's funny.

That's got to be a Sign of Something Wrong. Now, the question is, is it about the specific job, or working in general. Because if it's the first, presumably I could do something about it. If it's the second, I need to get a grip on reality.

I am supposed to be on vacation for this week and I can't destress from all the craziness that happened last week at work. It is not good. Sometimes I worry that staying in the job I have for so long has ruined me for working.

I just hired someone to cut down the one tree in my backyard. I feel incredibly guilty about it, but it's way too close to the house. Besides, it was not much more money to cut it down than to prune it, and he said I'd have to be pruning it every year or two.

lunch was grilled cheese with tomato and bacon for me, and Batman chicken noodle soup for mac (his first chicken noodle soup).

bon bon is a semi-supertaster, right? hates the cilantro?

Ali on Fox game show would actually get me to watch Fox - too bad they are stoopidheads and didn't cast you.

I think I would be a semi-borning millionaire at this point. Pay off debt, set up college fund, retirement fund, then buy real estate.

Sue, can you plant another one further out in the yard?

So long as you bought interesting real estate, msbelle, your list is still good. I mean, just look at Harlan Ellison.

Cilantro is nasty.

I don't know how the supertasting thing came up, but the genetic inability to taste cilantro is not correlated. I luv cilantro.

Cilantro=nast.
