I just boxed up some books to send to Powell's. They've really got a great system for buying used books online -- you go to their website and put in the ISBNs, they tell you which books they'll take and give an estimate of how much they'll give for them, and if you accept the estimate, then they give you a printable shipping label, so you just box up the books and bring them to a post office with the label. You get the money in store credit, so it's exchanging books you don't want for books you do want. Plus, they gave me more for a math textbook than the campus bookstore would.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

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

I might have to use this. I put a bunch a stuff on Amazon and a few things sold really quickly (and not what I thought would), but the rest has just been sitting there.

I'm having a very boring Friday night. Making vegetable broth, organizing my bookshelves, and putting labels on things. (My general theory here is that, once I've got stuff organized, it'll make other stuff in my life easier, and then I'll have more time for going out and stuff.) (Also, still sore from trapeze. Not really a dancing night.)

For the first time in eight months, I have had fast food. I succumbed to the McDonald's Southern Style Chicken Sandwich (but no pickles) hype.
Is it as good as Chick-Fil-A? Not to me.
Is it good enough that I will choose the McDonald's a mile from my house over driving to Redondo when I crave Chick-Fil-A? Probably.

Then I will mention that, like all Chick-Fil-As, they are closed on Sunday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I CAN'T HAVE BREAD!
I hate all you bread-eaters.
And that thing I figured would happen on the season finale of ER just happened, but they really don't tease you much with who it happened to.
Stay glued to your TVs starting June 5th--the series Fear Itself will feature intermittent Buffista CFerg in a tale directed by a guy who directed one of the all time big stinkers Legacy of Rage. But, hey! Gets me to within 3 degrees of Brandon Lee.
