"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I heard that, David, and went huh. I mean, I don't think this threatens all 160,000 kids being homeschooled in CA as the lawyer asserts. In reality, the Longs could have (not speaking fiscally) hired a credentialed teacher to tutor and that would suffice. Or Mama Long could get a teaching credential.

I could homeschool and I have thought about it. But I am a dual credentialed teacher. I can't afford to homeschool, but that's a whole 'nother thing.

Punishingly Intricate

Rescue Remedy is a great option. It can, in no way, harm the dog and I've seen it work wonders. You can put 4 drops in her water at the beginning of the day and during particularly stressful times, rub a couple drops directly into the underside of her ears. (this is a richly veined area, which increases the absorption rate)

I need to get some of that for my neighbor to give the incredibly high-pitched yappy terrier he has staying with him for the next couple of weeks.

You know, if Clovis hasn't recruited that Bun yet - he really, really should.

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

Am I the only person on earth who finds her iPod insufferable?

Its a shuffle. I'm trying to put the play list on the device in a particular order. Every time I move a song the fucking thing syncs again.

Am I the only person on earth who finds her iPod insufferable?

I love my iPod, but there are a few things that drive me crazy. I have a hard time being precise with the touch wheel. And I would kill for a normal volume button so I didn't have to wait for it to "go back" to the song to access the volume.

Art Crawl!!!

I was getting ready for bed when I suddenly realized that all the alarms I was hearing were, you know, right here.

Lots of flashing lights, that sort of thing.

I look out my window and there are like 3 cop cars blocking the street. Couldn't figure out what was what - then I noticed scads of smoke coming from a house across and down the street from me.

Lots of firetrucks parked up the street. (One of them a hook and ladder that is now right in front of my building.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yes. Steve Jobs' whole "one button" thing is ludicrous.
