But it was too big - couldn't finish it.
Why didn't you send the rest to my house? That's why we have the pneumatic tube system!
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Ow. I just finished helping move my old dressers to Amyth's place, rearranging my spare room, and cleaning out the closet. It's much roomier in there now, but still, my body's wondering why I can't just go with the whole laziness thing that all the cool kids are trying these days.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Hec, you would have loved it! The chunks of lobster were HUGE.
I just got up from a nap and need a snack.

Huh. It looks like there's an outside chance that I might have the opportunity to go to China for a short trip next month. Tell me I'm crazy for even thinking about it?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Can't do that.

Oooh, Brenda, which part of China? I really loved some of China (mostly around Kunming). Go!

Shanghai, I think? My brother is going as part of his MBA program and asked my dad to go along and now it looks like he might not be able to get time off (and frankly I have no idea how he can afford it anyway) so I was talking to my bro and came around to "you know, I have PTO to burn and it turns out I'm getting a 1400 dollar refund from the county for overpaying my property taxes and it is my birthday that week so...). I'll wait and see what the sitch is with my dad but if he really can't go...

Oooooh, that would be neat. It's a huge, huge city (think bigger than NY) with lovely skylines and lots of chaos.

Anybody have any good methods for staving off a cold? Other than sleep, I mean? I knew I was going to make myself sick sewing all night and working all day for two weeks, but I cannot get sick and I have this tickle in my throat. Last night I thought I somehow cut my throat on a potato chip, but I am starting to feel a little sick, too.

I attack it with hot ginger tea and emergen-c. Little whiskey or bourbon in the tea right before bedtime.
