I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Thanks! This worked.

I'm glad to hear it. IME, those people Know Things.

I may sneak out a little early and see how my sickly cat has done on his own today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I almost had a burrito for lunch! And then I didn't.

ION, man, I feel like ass. Stupid cold. I may end up bailing on my dinner plans, even though they are taking place one (1) block from my apartment.

not your mom's socks.

I think we should all get out early today. please, go inform your bosses.

I totally just gave my minion the afternoon off. I did so from the beach, but she doesn't have to know that.

Less than 200 posts to go! I have a feeling it's going to be tonight or tomorrow, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Because a woman his own age -- horrors!

This would be why men irritate me so much.

I think this is an unfair characterization, plenty of men out there buck the stereotypes. Or perhaps another way to put it is that our culture--and it's cultural expressions--is certainly sexist but that doesn't make all men a direct reflection of the most egregious elements.

And, in a completely new response to board discussion, Tom, I agree with everyone else, be kind to yourself.

Oooh, good plan. And hey, I am leaving early(ish) today, because I need to go home and make myself extra gothy before the Peter Murphy concert tonight.

Unpossible. That's like trying to make the cover of "Smell the Glove" blacker.

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

Yesterday was the (6 years younger than I) DH's birthday, and we had this conversation, which is kinda germane to this topic:

DH: So, I'm out of the 35-45 age bracket now. I'm old.
Me: Yeah, but remember, no matter how old you get...
DH: I'm still younger than you.
Me: That's right.
DH: Thank God. That's the only thing that allows me to go on.
