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.

Oh Cash, will you come and be the crafty mom here?

Good tired today. I was in a yoga class with 38 people today. The studio cannot fit 38. I'm just saying....it was a bit crowded.

Speaking of WNTW, I just watched 4.5 episodes in less than 24 hours. Gah. Now I'm convinced everyone hates everything I wear, even though I just bought some nice clothes at Macy's that do, in fact, fit and flatter me. Except possibly for the dress.

What I learned from WNTW is that other than colors, they pretty much recommend the same kind of style for everyone: tops in patterns with a v-neck and tucked in with a high waist (empire tops or faux-wrap tops); jackets with structure, high heels with almost everything. I may be overstating it a bit, but the tops were pretty much the same, even though they had three different body types and lifestyles to work with.

Also, it makes me uncomfortable to watch women confront their body images on national television.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

I like that the love of a good woman got Lars back on the right world, and it's great that there's someone that sweet, but I'm not answering his OKCupid ads I don't have patience with the psychotic break. I consider it dementia on my part.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Where I live now, I can park free on the street. (Otherwise I'd never even consider owning a car.)

Street parking can be a bee-yotch with having to move it several times a week for alternate side. When I lived in Astoria even having a car for a week now and then made 'nannas with the alternate side.

I'm sure you have but have you tried renting from the airport? Supposedly they can't/don't charge the premium You're a New Yorker rate anymore. And there is always Jersey, if you're going to have the car for an extended period of time it might be worth renting one west of the Hudson.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Falling in love with an inanimate object was his therapy. That's how he worked through his issues. I don't think the doll represented a psychotic break; I think he had always been that way and the doll was the start of the healing.

It seemed to me that Lars had never connected with people in his entire life. It was too much for him. When everyone was socializing with the doll he could start to have connections through her without so much pressure.

Because books.

I've been writing all. damn. day. I think I have carpal ... shoulder, weirdly. And my brain is fritzing.

I want to stay up to see Tina Fey on SNL, though, or at least the beginning. I'll have to mute the Bieber parts. ::shudder::
