I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

And the broken bar stool that sits in the corner with a post-it attached - "Careful: broken".

I may want a picture of this.

Meh, my plan to go out to the city after uni today and get my shoes back from the store, Liz Phair and Twilight Singers goodness was just rescheduled due to hot date with 54 pages of ancient Greek history in the library.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

The advantage of working from home: I'm at my pajamas, with music of my choice.

The disadvantage of working from home: I can't remember, or have any idea what the name of the new person in money dept. to email/call to about me not-getting-my-pay-slip, and our phone sheet doesn't say to which dept. which person belongs to (I know, that sentence would have made much more sense I I wasn't still sleeping and little bit resentful).

Swouncing

Skipping all the probably turkey-and-pie discussions, because according to Sean K "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Nov 30, 2004 2:00:17 pm PST, it's Emeline's birthday.

Can you believe she's already whole four years old? I know I can't, and yet.

Happy birthday, big beautiful girl! With lots of wishes for a great year for you, your mom and dad, and all your family!

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

Happy Birthday, Emeline!

We've got snow!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's cold enough for snow here, and supposed to precipitate later, but it'll probably warm up enough that we get freezing cold rain instead. Feh.

Hippo birdies, Emeline!

We've got a little bit of snow here, too.

I am so glad I don't have to go anywhere today.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's up to 31 now, so I'm betting the snow doesn't happen by the time it could arrive.

I'm all kinds of ambitious this morning and thinking about rearranging my office entirely. I hope the impulse passes....
