But the first step towards becoming an artist of such fabulosity that you are supported by the community at large.

I hope. That would be ideal. In fact, I'm going to use some of my time off to start writing more reviews on GCS. More content, more traffic, more ... people giving me things? Maybe?

Crap! I wish I'd been around more yesterday! It's been a while, but I'll try to see what I can dig up. Has he been in contact with the bank? Is there a local housing counseling agency he can contact? Off the top of my head that's all I can think of, but will dig out my manuals when I get home if I still have 'em.

Yay, Jilli! It's definitely a start.

Your nephew is adorable, aurelia. With his game skills though, I think you should try to stay on his good side, just in case.

Patronage, that's the word.

Or matronage.

Thanks, Nicole! He's cutthroat at the games, but I've maintained status as the favorite aunt.

Ouise, what a cutiehead! And already watching the good TV. *sniff*

I accidentally let my kitty in the attic, and now she is DYING to get back up there!

I really only play scramble on facebook, and I am not that good, but am getting better. Still not sure if I would be able to play scrabble/lexulous due to sucking, but anyone who wants to play scramble is welcome to invite me!

Jesse, what did you get at Whole Foods?! I'm dying to know. I live vicariously these days.

I had lunch with Burrell at Larchmont Larder. The braised short rib sandwich is AWESOME. The steak sandwich is not as good.

I have an entire new Gracie wardrobe, thank goodness because lately it's hard to find clothes for her in her clothes.

I didn't go yet! Maybe tomorrow. Maybe Friday.

Ha ha -- the victim on this Law & Order is from Somerville!
