Was full of excuses, and I didn't hear any "I screwed up" noisesOne of the students here at new job is like that. He is on thin ice with the head of the program. He's also in his 30's, so I'm wondering if he's too old to teach new tricks to.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am splitting a CSA membership with thessally for the summer, and we picked up our first week's of produce today. There is so much stuff, even with splitting a share. I am hoping that this is going to force me to eat more fruits and veg and get a little healthier, maybe even lose some weight.

My sister is 37. She's on thin ice with Life. I wonder the same thing.

Also, Vortex is unplayed.
