Hand jobs, do they exist? They make a great punchline but have you ever or do you know anyone who has actually given or received one?

For some reason, I now have an Elvis earworm. Anyhow.

Err. Yes? And you can do slightly more with an aardvark than a German helmet?

::cough::

Kristin, much strength to your Dad.

Hand jobs, do they exist?

...I'm guessing you're only talking about boys.

Cause otherwise I'm feeling really bad for the girls you know? Or the girls who know you? Or something?

So yeah. I can't decide if this trip is cursed or just Aimee's Gypsy Quarter Curse kinda cursed. Like, on the way to the airport, I was convinced I had forgotten something. Something big. But what?? While I was trying to remember what I sped along the mostly empty freeway...til suddenly I notice the flashing lights in my rearview mirror. Oh shit. And I pull over one lane, and the next, and they follow me...and yep, he's pulling me over. CRAP. This is the first time in my LIFE I've been pulled over. And I'm on my way to the AIRPORT. Luckily, I've got my insurance and registration and all, and he gives me (Thank GOD) a warning rather than a ticket. Though he was all "do you know how fast you were going?" and i was like "Um...no?" and he's like "You should look at your spedometer! And you should notice you're going faster than everyone! And tailgating the red Ford in front of you!" (and I'm thinking "OF COURSE I'm going faster than everyone! This is Seattle! THey're SLOWPOKES! And...uh...what red Ford?")

But after that, and realizing I left my hoodie/jacket at home, and getting lost trying to find the highway (but ending up going in the right direction anyway)...I got to my hotel room and there was milk and cookies waiting for me!! YUM.

Much love to your father , kristin

My sympathies for your dad, Kristin. Have you had a chance to speak with him?

Sorry about your Dad Kristin. Skim too much, and apparently sex catches my eye more than death.

Surgery-ma for your mom, sj.

Sympathies to your dad, Kristin, and to Mr. Pollack's other friends and loved ones, as well as to all the world who loved his movies. The world's a little dimmer tonight.

you can do slightly more with an aardvark than a German helmet

(sings) "Oh, hand and German HEWmet!"

surgery~ma to your mom, sj.

Kristin, my thoughts go out to your family. Also, it's just sad when we lose another good one.

Thanks for all the ~ma. I’m sitting here waiting for news on Mom’s surgery.

Kristin, ~ma for your dad. I’m sorry for his loss.

Lots of surgery and recovery~ma to your mother, sj, and lots of general coping~ma to you, because it's got to be so stressful for you too. (Also, I've been keeping the moving-in-smoothly~ma headed east, because the whole moving in process definitely doesn't end on moving day.)

Aww, thank you. I appreciate that. You’re very right; the move is far from over. I’m hoping I can get a few things done every day this week. Last week was mostly catching up on sleep from the stress of moving day and the physical stress of packing, so not much got done.

sj, tons of surgery ~ma for your mom. If you need/want a distraction while you're waiting for news, feel free to call me. {{{you}}}

Thanks, Nicole. Let me know when you’re up and I’ll give you a call.
