Yeah, I took a Zipcar to Ikea once. Once. Still a lot cheaper than shipping, but just getting an actual rental car would cost less, and not be so stressful in terms of getting it back in time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah. Zipcar is pretty good for grocery shopping somewhere relatively within the neighborhood, but not so good for going out of the city.

We don't have zipcar which is another reason the "just tow the uninsureds' cars" people piss me off.

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

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
In NYC, at least, I have yet to find a rental car agency with a lower weekend day rate than most Zipcars. (Or anywhere at all that will let you return a rental car on Sunday except to the airport.) So I love it for day trips.

Because books.
Thanks for the birthday wishes! There's sunshine here today, and there will be cake later, so I'm knee-deep in happy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm knee-deep in happy.
Awesome place to be. Happy birthday!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In NYC, at least, I have yet to find a rental car agency with a lower weekend day rate than most Zipcars.
Yeah, the one-day rental we had yesterday was like $150.

Hello, everyone! I've missed you.
I want to go to a spa right this second.
Also, I was woken up this morning by my two year old neighbor who was wearing only a red cardigan and one pink sock as she banged on my (glass) door while screaming with delight, "TITTY TAT!" Which is disconcerting. Incidentally, this was also how I woke up yesterday. And the day before. Though I believe she wore a yellow sweater on Friday. I think I have to have a talk with her mom. I'm not in love with this new routine.
Also, of all the things that I intended to accomplish today, which included things like doing a lot of writing and going to Target and cleaning, the only thing I did do was walk to Porto's and buy a fresh baguette. Which I promptly snacked on. Along with an apple and a slice of cheese. I highly recommend this. I also took a long bath this morning, which I would also recommend. Oh, and napping. I was out of all my other cold-beating medicines, so I had some Nyquil around 10 a.m. Allow me to be the first to say that this doesn't lead to productivity.
And now I have to go fight traffic on my way to dance class. But I wanted to say hi! I missed you guys!
(And as a complete aside, I rescued a really super sweet kitty last Friday and took her to the shelter. If anyone in the LA area was thinking about getting a cat, let me know if you want more details. She was RIDICULOUSLY sweet. She followed me to my car, and happily sat and napped in my lap for a good hour and a half. It half killed me to take her to the shelter, but since I didn't know what her possible issues were, I couldn't take her home to my two cats.)
