I read accounts of the fire that destroyed Mount Stromlo, from people who lived through it.
I found that fire more frightening than yesterday's. My family is in Canberra. It's not a big place.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oy, my brownies were completey undercooked, which I didn't realize until I had let them (and consequently, the oven) cool down. Annoying!

Yikes to it all, billytea.
Work took up both a monetary and paper (extra copies of journals, research materials, etc) collection when it happened. The field is small and incestuous, so we all knew someone who knew someone who worked there at some point.

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

I want to take aerial arts classes. Annoyingly, they're located in West Hollywood and one class is $40. However, if you bring a friend it's $10 off, so that works out to $35 each, I suppose. Who's with me? You learn trapeze and tissu. I really really want to learn tissu, despite totally sucking at rope climbing. And trapeze just looks like painful fun.

You made me want ziti, brownies, steak, and muffins.
Instead I am eating garlic bread, and it's quite delicious too.

Ha! Sushi is gross. I don't want to eat that. And it is too your fault.
I also want a big bucket of popcorn and to see Coraline.
But it's rainy out, so I don't really want to go anywhere at all. Despite only having garlic bread to eat.

I read that as aerial art-classes, instead of aeriel-arts classes.
Fires are just scary. Stay safe, bt.
I just ate a salad for dinner, but I think there's a corn muffin (whitey) in my immediate future.
