What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's nice and sunny out, and it seems like everyone was in the mood for book shopping

It was yard sale day! I snagged four CDs for a dollar...and then another CD from some other guy for three dollars. Which felt unjust.

I also got a Black and Decker CarVac for two bucks. After I paid, the guy said, "It sucks!" I said I hoped it sucked. But after trying it out in my car, it appears it does not suck very hard.

Heat means tomatoes, people! Tomatoes and fruit! Can't have a jam economy without it!

Why, yes, I am alternating between gardening and writing porn right now.

Our wings are not tired.

It was the annual thrift sale at the Woodgate volunteer fire department today. I try and get there every year because people donate all kinds of cool stuff. My take this year: brand new Sunbeam breakmaker, a foot fixer, several candles and a pretty blown glass holder, an arrangement of glass lilies for my MIL, a cap for my nephew, 3 videos, 1 book, a big sun tea jug, 2 large insulated travel mugs, and a loaf of cranberry bread. Total for the lot - $25. (the bread was $7, the baked goods are way pricey compared to the other stuff)

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

Maybe it just didn't occur to them that a grown man would be flashing hexes at 12 year olds? Even if it IS his lucky spot?

Right? Lucky spot! No, I'm sure I looked like an idiot, but seriously I wasn't flapping my arms around and making the Eagle cries. I was 200 feet from home plate and extending my pinkie and index finger. Their fans were using the stupid airhorns and whistles and crap. Far more obnoxious than my borderline OCD display of magical thinking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not til Tuesday? Jeez, I thought you were walking out the door!

No, my parent just arrive tonight.

Looking up info on the linden: "Never plant the American linden over a parking area, such as a driveway; the sticky nectar that drips from the flowers can damage car paint."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey, so stupid question. Fairly stupid.

Capri pants are acceptable for a tourist in Europe, right? I mean, on the theory that I'm avoiding jeans because they're very American tourist, aside from the fact that they're hot.

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

I would think so, Dana. Where in Europe?
