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

One article linked to in Wikipedia's entry, interviewing some of the lawmen who were involved in the raid, contradicts that notion, as apparently you still had a fair number of seriously underaged "wives" in the situation.

Ooh! Which one?

(I've been reading about this for years. The whole situation tests my concepts of what is and is not free will.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

what was that book about the scientist who made intelligent dogs who walked upright and had hands?

The Walt Disney Story?

I have that book! I enjoyed it.

It sounds like a simple thing but it really works. Write EVERYTHING down, from "buy brown belt that fits" to "start chapter 4 of new book" to "start calling mom more." For as long as the list is current your mind will buzz less with liminal reminders.

This is what I started doing this week, for work. Which is good, because it has been CRAZY. Unfortunately, in 3 days, I have 19 items and only 7.5 crossed off. But that's the crazy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have that book too! It's pretty good, though not phenomenal. Interesting, though.

Punishingly Intricate

Lives of the Monster Dogs

Disappointed me but now I don't remember why. I expected it to be a lot better than it was.

not your mom's socks.

Oh, thank god. I don't have to flip out and quit my job now.

I just need to document in case this crap ever happens again. That, I can do.

yay scrappy!

The idea isn't always to worry about how many you get crossed off. It's really to free up the brain space that is spent picking at you, reminding you to do X thing all the time.

My lists aren't organized at all except by date. Then on occasion, I go back and I read through and see what I have done and haven't.
