Hey, Sarameg! My Niece thinks you are very cool--not as cool as Lori what with the Ma Rver and the glayvin, but pretty damn cool nonetheless. Thanks for the hang time!
Aww. She was great too! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see you all & the house & meet her.

I'd also like to state, for the record, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO MALIBU.

Of course there's a noticable lack of fresh stuff in US diets.

Are you saying that you can now set fires with the powers of your mind?

No, Sue. It's just that fire follows in Sara's wake depending on where she visits. I fear for my house

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am still at the in-laws, but am packing to go home. I am ready to go home. Home has my bed. Home has my media. Home has nice humid air, which may even be warm. My hair will be better at home. My skin will be better at home. All better.
I just have to hope that weather doesn't screw us over on the flight home.

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
fucking verizon
Just looked at my phone bill. 55 local calls last month at nine cents a minute. Really? I don't make calls on my land line. Huh.
I DO have voice mail on my land line. Turns out any time a telemarketer calls it, even if they don't LEAVE a voice mail, I get charged.
Fucking A.
It's the principle of the thing that bugs, not the eight bucks or so a month I've apparently been eating since I got my cell phone two years ago and stopped making outgoing calls on my landline. Oy.

May your home be better than mine, Dana.
So far on today's recovery checklist: mgmt notified of bad kitchen light (now when they get around to it is another issue, but yes, they are the ones who fix/replace those bulbs.) Happy, non-high-sugared cat retrieved from vet. Still not bleeding all over my keyboard. Found external monitor connection dohicky so in theory I can grab an external monitor tonight. Grocery list made out.
Had to park in Siberia and garage ate my free ticket in & out. However, I got a new one, so I don't have to pay, in theory.
Still behind in email work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Pamper and spoil your cat with Cat Spa. Whether you are home or away, Cat Spa gives your cat the attention he deserves and the ultimate Cat Spa experience. When introduced to the Cat Spa, most cats react immediately approaching it, rubbing or rolling on it, or biting on the gum stimulator. You'll be amazed! Cats love when their owners rub or scratch them. They naturally seek this out by brushing up against legs or inanimate objects like walls, chairs, etc. This is part of their social behavior, an important means of communication. In particular, when cats rub their chin, lips, or cheek areas, their facial glands deposit pheromones, which are known to have a calming effect on cats. Developed on the basis of intensive research and observation of cat behavior and responses, Cat Spa is the first product that offers instant gratification, overwhelming pleasure, and diversion for cats. Made in Malaysia.
