For my two cents, I love Singapore (although I haven't been back in forever). Also, I really think that growing up in more than one country was a huge benefit to me growing up. Of course, whether my parents felt the same is another story.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is super hot here. OK, 70.
My excitement for the day is, I went to the suburban supermarket a half-mile from my house (huge store, huge parking lot, everyone is pushing over-full carts -- not a typical NYC grocery), and guess what they had?? POPCORN KERNELS. Oh, thank god. It was only Pathmark brand, but still. I also got steaks and asparagus for a proper Spring dinner. Probably tomorrow.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I just bought myself a little jasmine plant with a trellis and put it out back to grow until I move. My other has gone bananas in the same spot, so it seems like a good and sweet smelling investment. Now to start packing more things and cleaning!
Barbecue tonight. Thank goodness. Being inside all weekend would make me mental.

It is GORGEOUS out here. I realized it was sunny, and knew it was supposed to be warm, but I walked outside wearing a sweater and a sweatshirty jacket...and realized I really only needed a Tshirt and no sweater OR jacket. Yeesh!
Sadly, met up with the girl for hte blind date, and while she was nice, and cute enough for someone, there was no chemistry for me. Ah well.

Ah well.
I really didn't need the jacket I was wearing, either. Bananas!
What was funny the other day was talking to a coworker in CA who was saying it had been cool there when I was saying it had been warm here, and we were both talking about the same temperature.

Yep, my "cool" has been completely recalibrated since moving out here (AIFG!).
I am currently sitting under a tree on top of a hill near Ojai. It's 85 and sunny with a slight breeze. Heaven.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'll really be glad when snow is no longer in the forecast.

This is why you need to move out here, aurelia!

We've had a bit of thunderbooming, alternating with sunshine -- odd day, but nice on the whole.
Herping is exactly like birding, except in the rain and at night. And mostly done creeping along the back roads at about 5 miles an hour. It's all those vernal pools that are just hotbeds of herp sex. Why did the salamander cross the road? To get it on, baby!
I can go, because I got SQLServer to run correctly on my home computer, after much sweat and anguish. Whoo!

Today I'm tempted. Earlier in the week it was pretty beautiful here.
