Why do I google after the fact?? I just found a bad review of the apartment I'm moving into -- outlets that don't work, water leaking, and a break-in. So they recommend keeping your windows locked. Um, yeah. That I can handle. At least they said there's no vermin of any kind!
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My suggestion Jesse, then is to be really diligent and thorough testing and looking for stuff in the first month. Document everything and do everything in writing. It will set the tone that you won't let things slide.
Work is being frustrating. I keep flailing from task pile to task pile and feel like nothing much gets done. I know that part of it is my boss' ADD influencing my day, but part of it is my reluctance to just dig into some of the big work. Off to LJ to start a DONE list.

Yeah, good call.
I am totally not getting anything done at work, and that could quickly become a problem. Meh.

I skipped. Or I missed. Jesse, did you already get a job offer?
In other news, I'm trying arrange something for the National Day of Writing in two weeks. YAY?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
This is in fact correct.
That is very cool to know.
hub's birthday dinner:
Ooo, yum.
You know I never knew Utz was a real brand until last weekend.
Growing up in PA, we could get Utz potato chips fresh bagged at the Lancaster farmer’s market. It’s still my favorite brand of regular potato chips, and I mourn the disappearance of their Carolina Barbecue flavor. That and Cheerwine used to fuel my driving stints for rugby road trips.
Used cats are good cause someone else can tell you their personality. Foster agencies are good that way.
I changed my cats’ names. Emma and Scruffy? No and no. They live up to their new names, though. Xusa is a total Russian peasant kitty, bossy and demanding affection: Bella is dainty and graceful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Has anyone ever had any dealings with Keane, the lost property recovery company?
Yeah, they keep sending me letters about how I have unclaimed assets and I need to call them. Sounds like a scam to me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That is very cool to know.
It is rather. I will note, however, that Wallybee hadn't noticed it before, which makes me think the 'kill' radical is contributing phonetics rather than semantics. (It's pronounced 'máng', and a number of other characters with the same or similar pronunciation have that radical too.
Incidentally, the 'heart' and 'kill' radicals are also combined (differently) to form the character for "to forget".

Chinese is poetic in ways that are totally unWestern -- that you can make what amounts to visual (nonfunny) puns with characters is so very cool.
Jesse, the digital camera is the renters' friend.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah,it did to me too. They sent a letter to my parents, who asked me to look into it.

Punishingly Intricate
You can get Utz in the paper bags at the city markets here! (um...evidently you could also get a gun until recently at the utz stand in Lexington Market.)
