One of my friends was a coordinator for the Greenpeace collecting people for a while. They don't actually have an option for "give a couple bucks to Greenpeace right now." What they're trying to get you to do is sign up to give a certain amount each month for a certain number of months. I don't remember all the details, but I remember that I was perfectly willing to give a few bucks, since a girl I'd known since kindergarten was running the collection effort, but not willing to sign up for whatever plan it was they had to offer.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Liese, the house looks gorgeous. I especially like the ceiling in the kitchen.

Somebody wanted me to save the environment yesterday. Or possibly the children. It was pouring down rain. I may have said, "I'm not saving anyone unless there's a fucking thank-you umbrella in it for me, sweetheart."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hate the "do you have a minute for [cause]" thing they're doing now, because it's so stupid -- you don't actually want a minute of my time, you want some amount of my money! And maybe I don't have a minute for anyone right now! And and and.
Yep, still hate everyone.

one of the advantages of living in an outer borough is almost no people trying to stop me on the sidewalk. On the weekends I think I look so haggard that I rarely get spoken to if I am in Manhattan. - it's a blessing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Liese--I love the line of dark tile that goes from the floor up behind the stove and the sinks in the master bath and the stone pillar in front and the ceilings in the kitchen and....the whole thing, really. Gor-Juss.

Uh, tonight I'm going to see a bunch of goofballs in concert with half the internet, but that's about the only interesting thing I have going on this weekend.

I know people here hate the song, but I have Winehouse's Rehab stuck in my head.
