Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's super exciting, Daisy!

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

Love the Monopoly game. "Omar's Coming", heh. And 2 Jails. Very clever. I might've gone with Proposition Joe rather than Marlo on the other corner, though.

I think it works since he's the opposite, rival corner from Avon.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm at the Barnes and Noble, to see a talk with Bryan Lee O'Malley and Neil Gaiman!

That is an awesome combination.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Congrats, bon! I should send you Tom Waits' stage patter about being back in the Wilshire district, "Land of Wigs and Novelties."

Yay, Daisy! I'm so excited for you! Don't get dyssentary!

Prezzies are always nice.

Indeed. Emmett gets out early on Thursday, and today was Matilda's first time at the new school without me. So I rewarded them both. Collected her after lunch, but before nap. Drove over and got him, and then we headed back over the bridge but shot past SF to go to the Hillsdale Mall which has both a Lego and Disney store.

Got Emmett a belated birthday present (The Burrow, from the new Harry Potter Lego sets). And got Matilda her long promised Jessie and Bullseye dolls (from Toy Story). Emmett bought her some very cute Beauty and the Beast shoes with red roses on the toses. Then we ate at In N Out Burger. I'm kinda stuffed.

So, the Giants actually had the balls to sit Zito from the ALDS. I think it is a good decision, but am kinda shocked the Giants actually did it. He can be an AMAZING pitcher but, even before he moved from the A's to the Giants, he is SO inconsistant. When he is on, it is lights out, but when he is off, it is ugly. There is nothing in the middle.

He said exactly the right thing about it, "I'm pissed at myself for not cracking that rotation." Which isn't as good as having an ace for your $126 million dollar contract, but at least he's team-first and not an asshole.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We're bringing drugs, but I figure if I can do NO on nothing but scotch and shots, I have a gut of steel.

Remember to bring toilet paper!

Congrats, bon!

Super excited for you travelers. Have fun!

I may have made an insane decision, started prep to strip spindles tonight. Which...might have me up late. Tonight and tomorrow.

Aaand already fucked up my perfect manicure. 5 days in. Ah well. Now it is imperfect and will annoy me for another 2 weeks.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I do not know how you go 3 weeks. I barely made it a week this last one.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

sarameg, refresh my memory on if this is on natural nails or? Because if you are getting three weeks, I need to come there let you show me how.

Toes, I can get a month pretty easy and sometimes two until the nails get so long I could climb snowbanks or I take the polish off of one.

Fingernails? Not so much.

Though I really need to paint mine. Perhaps tonight. I just can't decide on a color.
