Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Or perhaps the Republican campaign could buy her a dictionary, hire a speech coach, and get better writers?

Foodie Coolness: I just met the owner and founder/chef of Slanted Door!

Apparently he's super swamped because when the new science museum opened up in GG Park Slanted Door put in a food cart, and it's been insanely popular. Like, tney though they might get 20% of the museum customers, and they've gotten 50%.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Oh my god you guys the smartest thing I ever bought is a label maker. I just figured out I should apply tiny labels to my identical mouse and external drive USB plugs so I know which is which! Everyone should get a label maker!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

bon bon!!!

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

So I'm eavesdropping on a German class, and I'm finding myself utterly weirded out that (a) I still more or less understand what the teacher is saying about East and West Germany and (b) THESE KIDS WEREN'T BORN when East Germany existed.

Also, bon bon!!!! How was the move? How's the west coast life? How's the Bob? Have you stuck labels on him?

Whenever I get a label maker, the first thing I usually do is make a label that says "label maker".

I don't have a label maker, but my brain shorted out with glee when I realized that the super-cheap melamine cabinets in my kitchen work with dry-erase markers.

Here is the other smart thing I did with the label maker, though this was weeks ago: labeled the power cords for stuff like the cordless drill, electric scissors, stuff that looks identical but isn't.

How was the move? How's the west coast life? How's the Bob? Have you stuck labels on him?

Ugh. It's over, but I'm not sure I'm going to do that again any time soon. The Valley is hot, and not conducive to being a pedestrian, but the food is cheap. Bob is suffering because I keep trying to label his file folders so he doesn't do stuff like, say, throw away his first paycheck from the university. Which he did.

I fear if I had a label maker today, people would be walking around with thingies on their forehead saying "moron", "idiot","wtf?", "WHY"

And the stupid piece of equipment making me mental would be covered with "WORKDAMNIT!STUPID!HATE!"

So. Just as well I don't.
