I have an innate ability to figure out how things work and to repair them.* Plus I really enjoy it.

Huh - I should put that in my profile for online dating sites....

*Especially damaged women.

I can't see what that movie is about

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy will star in indie romantic comedy "Hysteria," centered on the invention of the vibrator in Victorian-era England.

"Hysteria," penned by Stephen Dyer and Jonah Lisa Dyer, is directed by Tanya Wexler. Jonathan Pryce and Rupert Everett have already been signed to co-star.

*Especially damaged women.

Yeah, no.

Ah. Doesn't look like the kind of thing the lesbians did.

At the university garage today, the compact car section once again had a car only in every other spot, because almost all of them were taken up by SUVs and minivans and pickup trucks, which didn't allow space for anyone to park next to them. If you're driving an enormous car, why park in a compact spot when there are plenty of regular spots available.

I hate rescue people like that. Fortunately, I do not know many who are.

Thankfully, neither do I.

This situation has really been straining my sincere appreciation of the high standards of adoption agencies/rescues around here. NObody wants a dog returned, so I've never complained about what seems intrusive or touchy about applications.

I mean, thank GOODNESS for those regulations or I would not have sailed past 5 other applications to get Bartleby. But this woman is just beyond the pale.

Realizing that, I need to just shake it off so I can be there for the adopter.

I'll confess that my one fear is that this woman knows something about the dog that she is not telling the adopter...given her rapid (pun intended) focus on group socialization. It's waay past normal Schnauzer stuff.

If she's hiding something, while beating up on me, somebody's reputation is going to take a major hit and I guarantee, it will not be mine.

Todd, heh. I thought of that after I hit post.

We could have invented the vibrator.

Because you're a self entitled shit? Oh, wait, you're driving an SUV, we already knew that.

(excepting of course, people who drive SUVs because they actually haul shit, not just for status)

I mean the documentary the lesbians my work gay boyfriend lived with made. I think theirs was about vibrators being banned in Texas.

Also a good cause to fight. (Really? Banned?!)
