That's basically how I feel. A BOAT! To IKEA!! And yet? Still haven't taken it.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, it does make it enticing. It makes that purchases of 100 tea lights all the more magical.
Poor mac.
I don't know what it is, maybe the bus ride, or the bed I sleep in, but every time I've come home this year, my back hurts.
I am a little obsessed with the "people I may know" feature on Facebook. Some people are obviously Buffistas, but I can't actually figure out who they are.
A few people who have been suggested are people I would never ever friend. I wish you could deny with prejudice.

Someday, I will be able to walk to IKEA. No, seriously, they're building one over at Assembly Square, Somerville... maybe by 2010? Anyway that will eventually be there.
Me, I'm home finally, after a whole lot of driving. And a two hour stop in Old Sturbridge Village, which turned out to be extra-special because they had all the Revolutionary War recreators (think the SCA with muskets...) in New England encamped there.
Alas, I missed all the battles they held earlier in the day, but they were still hanging out and demonstrating stuff, and posing for pictures.

Oh, and I meant to say,
Happy Birthday, Deena!
and
Congratulations to Emmett & Co.!!
And lots of other things, but my tiny brain can't remember them.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My parents are way close to the Ikea ferry, and I swear the mere presence of the thing turns my dad into a 3-year-old. The last time we were up, he was all, "You could take the boat to Ikea!"... "but we don't want to go to Ikea"... "But... there's a boat! You could take it there!! A BOAT!"
In Sydney you can take a ferry across the harbour to the zoo. That's good ferry.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think I might have to take a plane to get to IKEA....
Wech were going to be able to take a ferry to Toronto, but it got massively f-ed up. Partially because it was going to be $40 each way. People in Rochester are a) cheap and b) not made of money. the good thing for me was that people thought the lake was going to be all "happening" and bought up property, which I am now able to live in very cheaply.

Here's an interesting thing, 1 August was once Lammas Day in Britain. One game played on this day was called "Bring Home the Bacon", in which married women (I originally spelt that marred women, which is just wrong) were given a hypothetical insult about their husbands, and the one who could best turn this into a strength was deemed the winner.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Isn't August first still Lammas? They didn't take away Lammas, did they?
