Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I figure if I just think positively and eat more vegetables, it'll all clear right up.

Kale. Just eat Kale and it will solve everything. Especially if you also eat pomegranates.

Because books.

The lights keep flickering, and this town is famous for power outages during storms.

I'm going to be PEEVED if I miss Project Runway.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I have photographed and annotated all the crap on the dining room table and the immediate environs. There are, I think, 19 annotations.

t edit Maybe 21 annotations (I just added some).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I don't know if you all have heard the old joke, but it is that the Globe headline would read, "Hub man dies in nuclear blast," and it's so true.

Actually, there was a Boston Globe spoof about 20 years ago that had the headline as: BOSTON MAN FEARED DEAD (and in smaller letters beneath) New York Destroyed in Nuclear Holocaust. It captures exactly the local attitude about Places That Aren't Boston.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, that sounds nice. And nice for the 'hood.

My neighbors that are moving out (they are renting their house out, so they will be back on occasion) brought me some cat food and my fluffy princess crawled into the grocery bag they had stuck it in and yowled when I took it away. I think this stuff passes muster.

Eta: love the annotations, Tep!

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

So The Good Wife did a thing that really annoyed me, but on the other hand, did some stuff that I really liked. Hmmph.

Better than what Loki did when he ran out the other night and to neighbor's porch. They had a couple chairs outside that are normally inside, and they have 2 cats. He'd rub against them, sniff and then HISS furiously, lather rinse repeat. Ooookay.

I'm glad something like this is going in, and I think I know which corner. I see some proposed plans putting stuff across the street from me, but this isn't that (I kinda dread that, I'll lose my view from the end of the street!) But given the glacial pace of the development in this economy, that isn't a big worry at the moment. And frankly, the whole dev project has been very community oriented: the Y, playground, Ripken's youth stadium at the old stadium field, the senior apartment complex. It's doing nothing but introducing positives into the neighborhood.
