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.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I am sunburned. I don't like it.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Orlando just opened an IKEA within the last 12 months and Tampa is supposed to get one within the next 12 months. Those are the closest options for IKEA fixes from here.
I truly live in the boondocks. Hub and I say we live on the moon and have to have air imported.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My house became fly central yesterday when i forgot to close the screen door.
My venus flytrap caught six flies...so far. It's uber-gross, and yet, fascinating.
I'm almost done painting my hallway, I finished a chapter of my new book, and as soon as I'm done painting, I'm going to shower and try to get chapter two drafted and edit chapter 7 (which my writing partner completed).
Please let me have this book done by October. Please let me find a job that doesn't make me feel like throwing up four times a day in the New Year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would really like a job that doesn't make me nauseated on Sunday nights. Ugh.

That is no good.

Halifax will not see IKEA again in my lifetime, I'm sure. I'm slightly bitter.
