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

My room still hasn't reached 68 degrees. That's all I want. It's a pretty small bedroom. I have no idea how Colin managed the heat. But you know, it was just stupid hot this weekend.

I didn't get a text, Kat.

...you keep it at 68 degrees, Allyson??

Yeah--I had dinner in Minneapolis with Meara last year, which ROCKED. Buffista meetings in odd places are da bomb.

That was awesome! I love meeting up with people in places where neither of us are from. Though meeting up with people at all is good too...while I've quite enjoyed my coworkers here, and for several days enjoyed the expense-account dinners, I'm over it and want to be HOME with my FRIENDS. But I still have three more days of training. Agh! Why aren't there Indy buffistas? My family is so not fun and relaxing to hang out with...but having a beer by myself is only so much fun.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

My AC has been on all day and the house is still 80. Is 68 possible?

I usually set it to 72, and it's an energy saver so it shuts off once it gets that cool.

It's supposed to get cooler tomorrow, yeah? Please?

Only 85 tomorrow. 75 by Tuesday.

I don't think so. I have the a/c running on high and it's still 81 in here.

Though that is a vast improvement over the 87 that it was when I first came home.

I thought people in California froze and shattered like glass at those kind of temperatures? I mean, even I only turn my thermostat down to 78° at night, and I'm the most heat-sensitive person out of all the people I'm in daily contact with here.

megan, oh megan...

Would the phrase "you'll soon change your tune" make sense in French? If not, is there another colloquial phrase with a similar meaning?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I just got the (almost) best news I could have hoped for this morning.

A friend of mine from Phoenix will be coming for a visit in Israel in the end of 2008/the beginning of 2009. She was my CouchSurfing host, and we got along in a heartbeat, and I missed her so much.

I'm so excited!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My room still hasn't reached 68 degrees.

My apartment is 67°. I'm cold. Wanna trade?
