Okay, I think I may at least be picking a weekend to go visit my best friend. That's something accomplished, right? I mean, aside from the ingestion of chocolate.
And I've picked an airline to fly at that putative time.
God, I want to fall over.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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

Trust my rage
Yeah, I feel bad for her
I talked to Joe. Apparently they are going to try billing the insurance first as they say it should be covered. Still, it sucks to be 25 years old and have a molar pulled. I also feel a bit guilty because, while she is an adult, I'm sort of like the closest thing she has to a mom here. I suspect my guilt is out of proportion - I think I mostly just feel bad for her.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I heard that Taipei had a toilet themed restaurant, it immediately became my mission to find this crazy place.
...
The chairs are toilet seats, the tables are bath tubs, and there are silly murals on the walls.
You drink out of urinals, and eat out of toilet bowls! I ordered chocolate ice cream that was made to look like... you know...

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that bling. In fact we love ostentatious shiny things so much we’ve taken to eating them. Yes, really. And we’re not talking signet rings and bracelets. We’re talking gold gherkins and silver sausages. It’s easy with Edible Bling Spray.
Tasteless in every sense, this 100% edible spray paint will coat any food you fancy with a layer of gleaming bling. Choose from silver or gold. Brilliant! Simply spray it over your food and tuck in. The result is truly stunning. You can spray strawberries, gild gherkins, coat cakes – and those are just the daft alliterative examples. Why not bling up desserts, burgers, bananas and tomatoes too? The possibilities are endless. If you can eat it, you can spray it.

Maybe "you" do, but I promise you I do not.

Is Steve Buscemi a "hunky heart throb" as described in the "Stealth Brit" article?
I find Steve Buscemi REALLY attractive, and I do not think he is hunky. Doesn't hunky somehow imply "not skinny"?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I hate today. My mom came over and I could not convince her I was ok. I am kinda afraid I am so buried that it will take months to get out from under it. There is like zero plan to get me more help. I have to get mac in half an hour and go to therapy.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Happy birthday, Sophia and smonster!
Didn't succeed at going to bed earlier plus the RSI pain is bad = didn't wake up 'til noon.
Ever since 9/11 and its resultant security theater, each travel decision has been weighed between airline, Amtrak and car. I'm going to the Bay Area next week and I thought hard about which to do. Another factor is that ever since I got fat, flying has become more embarrassing and uncomfortable. Flying to Europe was horrible that way. I was already 6 feet with child-birthin' hips. Add 90 lbs of extra weight and it's not a pretty picture.
This time I opted for air because I could get the tix for $49 each way. Since I don't own a car, it would have cost me considerably more to rent a driveaway (since I didn't want to pay for a car for each of the 12 days I'm up there). If I had owned a car, there is no question I would have driven.
One day I can imagine it'll get so bad that if I want to go to Europe I'll be looking into steamships.
