It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go you!!

I just printed out some pictures for my grandmother. My cheapo printer does a shockingly good job.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy birthday Frank!

Took Isaac to a birthday party at a small amusement park in Buena Park today. I am so tired I can barely function. Pathetic. AND I forgot to tivo Scrappy and DH so now I am bummed.

so tired.

I'm sore. Guess going in for 2 1.5+ mile days after not swimming for 10 takes its toll. Or that extra quarter did it.

Dear Loki- It is a little warm for spooning.

Practically had a block party earlier, checking out the Sarah's porch progress (story: when I left on the 17th, she had applied paint stripper. When I returned, it had gone from a paint job to a reconstruction one: paint was holding the pillars together in places, crammed in newsprint in others, facia was completely rotten...so she's basically rebuilding most of it. And doing a good job.)

Everyone was returning from various endeavors (I was unloading my trunk) and we just all congregated and caught up. It's almost surreal.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

OMG FNL. Killing me as usual.

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

I forgot to TiVo it too. I will have to check it out on the HGTV web site.

Had lunch at Urth Caffe on Melrose with Polgara. She doesn't get why I like that place, but even though it's always full and there's a long wait for food, the food is tasty and the people are the funniest. The last two times I was left alone at my table I ended up in conversations with my neighbours, and this time was especially hilarious. Jamaican guy with no filter who'd been thinking no one had understood his phone conversation.

He continued to be cutely unfiltered when Polgara came back to the table.

We left him alone to bask in the view of the womenfolk of SoCal. I think he was going to quite enjoy himself. Urth Melrose is a good people-watching platform. It's why it's my Urth of choice, even though the ones in Santa Monica or Beverly Hills are nearer.

Going out for lunch with Polgara blew my long weekend wad. I've nothing but time to kill between now and my ER visit--the key is to minimise how much pain meds I use. Gonna be dicey. Must finish this disc of The Wire, though. And put up some pictures. And keep sketching, if the pain allows.

smonster, I know, right?

ita, what season are you on? I've still not started season 2, haven't found the time yet. But I need to get through it this summer, before the owner wants it back!

They have done an amazing job introducing all the new characters and making me fall in love with them. And they continue to handle race issues with a lot of nuance.

I'm Wire-remedial. I need to make it through the first disc. And make sure disc #2 is at the top of my list.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Detective Kima always made me think of you, ita.

I haven't been to Urth in ages. Must remedy that.
