I'm supposed to give myself a present today. Does a haircut count as a present or should I get me something else?
Haircuts are grooming. I say get something else. If you are getting the haircut anyway, that is.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
sj, that sounds great.
That Julius Caesar sculpture is really neat.
The trapeze school sells shirts that say, "Forget the fear. Worry about the addiction." I'm still in pain whenever I exhale, and yet I'm trying to figure out when I'll have time and money to go to another class. (Not for at least two weeks, it seems. Feh.)

Hapless Client: I talked to you, YOU PERSONALLY, on Tuesday and YOU SAID that if I faxed in my cancellation of my Direct Deposit that day it would be cancelled that day. And it wasn't! The money was sent to an account that is closed!
Me: Let me see something...well, ma'am, we didn't get your cancellation request. It just didn't come through.
HC: Well, I need to pay my rent TODAY! I NEED that check!
Me: Well, you can contact your former bank and see if they will give you the funds, or...well, we have to wait until the bank returns the funds which can take 3 - 5 business days and we can cut you a check at that time.
HC: BUT I NEED THAT MONEY TODAY!!!
Me: I recommend you contact your bank. I'm very sorry.
HC: Okay...if they won't give me my money I'll be calling back.
Well...okay, if you want. But it won't do any good. We don't have your money. You didn't send us your cancellation...or, at least we didn't get it.
Moral of the Story: Follow up on your faxes, folks.

Our wings are not tired.
The trapeze lessons sound wonderful. I need to overcome my big fear of heights.
That Julius Caesar sculpture is really neat.
It does seem more realistic than most of Caesar, it makes me believe it looks like the man. Very cool.

I have a baby shower to go to, and I'm always baffled as to what to buy. Baby clothes sizes seem to make no sense, and I don't know if parents usually need more newborn or more larger sizes. One idea, which is hardly original, is to put together a basket of useful things like baby wipes and non-talc baby powder. Does anyone have any ideas? The baby is a girl and expected in June, so it's going to be hot outside and air conditioned inside. So far, I've bought an on-sale stuffed frog with a rather manic expression. Left to myself, I'd buy antique plates and stuffed Cthulus, but she is a no nonsense, no clutter sort. Her mother is my friend, and she'd love Cthulus, but somehow her daughter ended up being Alex Keaton.
Also, haven't we agreed that black is okay for wedding guests? I'm leaning towards an all-black outfit, but wondering if that's a bit much for an afternoon wedding.

That would show a level of self-awareness that Aims' ex-boss is, I believe, actually PHYSICALLY INCAPABLE of having.

It's registered to one Señor Rofl Uffagus of Oklahoma City. I have the sneaky suspicion that it's a fake name, though.
