I've had a recent flurry of people I know from grade school friending me. The amazing thing to me is how new the idea of social networking is to so many of them. Where they been all these years? the other amazing thing is how many of them lead ridiculously boring, closed lives. Know what I mean? Just, twenty years of living in a very small bubble, with no contact with the outside world, or any awareness of it.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I keep getting friend requests from people I don't know--some are friends of people I'm not close to, and others are people with whom I have no contacts in common. I don't use the site anymore.

english muffin: I ended taking 3 10s, Steph. Staggered by about an hour and a half. I still woke up early and startled, but waking up is a good thing.

Hi, peeps! What's up? I facebook sometimes.
Right now, though, I'm at work literally watching paint dry. This is life on the edge.
Maybe I should go update my facebook status...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hi Alibelle!
I should be preparing a lesson plan for Tuesday. I need to teach about exponential growth and decay. Instead, I'm randomly surfing the internet. Found a series of manga Midrash texts for kids. [link] Looks way more interesting than the textbooks I had in Hebrew school.

Hi, Hil! Fun! And sort of applicable, if you explain it the right way. But random internet surfing is significantly more fun than lesson planning.
I'm about to finish putting on a fourth coat of paint on this stupid wall. Between the nine million layers of paint and bowling last night, I seriously feel like I need a sling for my arm. And I need to exercise my left arm a bit more, or I'll be lopsided.
ETA: "PERKINS!!" Also, I'm totally eating cake right now, which makes that even more funny.

Poor bean has a UTI. We started her on antibiotics yesterday and she's already feeling MUCH better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Puppers! Plus you guys!
It's kind of embarassing how much I have not done this weekend. I am going to play up how sick I am (medium-ish) to justify it, but it's mostly lazy. Oh well.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Cutie Mona is cute!!
Now that football season is over, my bar has been taken over by mommies on Sunday. There are 3 or 4 babies here.
