Your place looks great, msbelle.
flea, aargh. I live in terror of when my car decides "enough!" But she's been pretty good recently.
I am stuck on this site. I love their necklaces the most.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think the Prime Minister didn't die.
We keep having these catastrophes that are not too bad. Like, our car may have died, but it died in our driveway on a weekend, giving us a good lag time to figure out some temporary transport before everyone has to go to work/school on Monday. A pipe bursts in the ceiling, but I hear it go and we get the water shut off in 15 minutes. My kid breaks her thumb, but it's a little break and healing nicely and she's not in pain.
In some ways I feel lucky, but... could also use a break.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Prime Minister wasn't on the plane, yeah.
I'm sorry about your car, flea, but I'm glad it died conveniently.

Because books.
Ugh, car trouble. Always the worst. Except for the plane crash -- that's horrific.
ita, that site is fantastic. I just found about seven necklaces I want on the firs two pages. God, I need a sugar daddy. Or mommy. I'm not picky.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
No, he didn't die, but according to the NYT it's still the head of the lower house who's acting president (though, I guess, only for the next two weeks, with a general election to follow within the next 60 days).

but I'm glad it died conveniently.
Which is to say: not in Bakersfield.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In some ways I feel lucky, but... could also use a break.
Sounds like! Jeesh.

Excluding the thumbs.

Ironically, I'm toying with the idea of buying a car. We would only use it a few times a year, but OTOH it costs $1000 just to rent a car for our trip to Canada every summer, so a $3-5000 used car would pay for itself pretty fast even if that was the only time we used it. (And it wouldn't be - having a car would make it infinitely easier to visit D's grandparents in DC for weekend trips, plus local stuff like the Bronx Zoo and Costco.)
Of course I have no idea how much car insurance etc costs in Brooklyn. My impression from neighbors with cars is "a lot."

Radoslaw Sikorski (the Foreign Minister) is married to Slate/Washington Post columnist Anne Applebaum.
I sometimes get invited to parties at the Polish Embassy because I taught in Krakow. There are a couple professors over there now, and they don't know what the university there will do.
