You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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

JZ, they're MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELY.

sorry. sorry. right. backing away.

::backs away::

Can we go burn down Fox News or something?

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

Sometimes I'm kinda glad that my summer gig puts me in a relatively news-free bubble.

aurelia, you still around? I could do dinner tomorrow.

Cool. Where and when would you like to meet? I'm out of rehearsal around 4 and I'm happy to kill time until you are free.

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

Trudy, step away from the Salon letters.

It's too hot to sleep in here. I've got air conditioners, I've got a fan, and yet, still too hot. Seventy-eight degrees inside. I would open a window, but it's seventy-seven outside, so I don't think it'll make much difference.

Fox News? Can I go and light fire to Fox News? That's not Salon Letters.

No. Because you just posted the plan online, so you just created a trail. First rule of arson: you don't talk about arson.

Always Anti-fascist!

Trudy, yeah, because then I can meet Keith Olbermann. That would rock. ETA: You don't suppose he'd believe Too Much Candy is a Southwest custom, do you? In any case, it's Fixed Noise. Burn away! ETA2: Stay away from Salon Letters. Either they're trolls or I get to see my cherished convictions tweaked till the break by people who can't spell "cherished conviction"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A few minutes ago, the catsitter I hired for July 11th-16th walked into my apartment.

That's hilarious.

I am so fucking tired, and don't feel that good stomach-wise. I was going to stay home, but I have too much stuff to do that I can't access from here. BAH.

This weekend's workshop is "Polite in the Park." Did you see the email?

bonny, I got the email and we should be there! We're hoping for no thunderstorms so we can have dinner at one of the sidewalk cafes, too. Will you join us?

July 11th-16th

Perkins, I have an extra ticket to the West party on Monday if anyone else we know needs free food & booze. I'm just as happy to skip it and be avoid-ish.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

So PC has a cat wander into his apartment, Perkins has a cat sitter wander into hers ... some kind of convergence?

And from Hil's Salon link:

You know the Republican Party is going through a rough patch when party veterans start comparing the GOP to the undead. That's what Larry Hunter did in a story in The New Republic.
