Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

amyth, what Sail and others have said is true. Your brain is cushioning things, because that's a lot all at the same time. I'm so sorry.

That sounds like a wonderful plan, Scrappy. May you enjoy it as much as she.

Suzi, you're a much better mom than I. I would have to tell the kid I thought the school was capricious and unfair in its punitive measures. Although we do have to abide by their rules, they're asshats. And go to the Food Network thing anyway, to cheer you both up. But I was too chickenhearted to be Mean Mama a lot of times (not to hear my kids tell it, of course).

How bad am I that I studied the polish picture for several minutes, ID'ing brands by bottle shape, and where obscured by cap design, and trying to guess colors within each brand? I couldn't wait for the box, and sent a bottle I'll never wear again and I know she loves home with Cass the other day.

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

Say 'Hi' to Scully for me!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

In a good way?

How is that even possible?

Suzi, I feel you on the ick. I've had some kind of vague little cold for 10 days that decided to become a real cold on Monday. Today is the first day of week 3. I currently sound like someone with lifelong bottle of whisky and 2 packs a day habit.

Yoga should be fun tonight.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, not looking for me and my nefarious activities, as it turns out. Looking for someone else, a witness to a crime. But he already knew by the time he got to my door that it wasn't the right place, because the numbers didn't match up with the street.

But still! Black SUV! Guy in sunglasses! I totally looked at his id so that I'd know what it should look like should I need to know in the future!

But now I'm consumed with curiosity as to where the person he's actually looking for is.

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

SHEMAR MOORE!! Tell him Hi!

All I did today was clear off the TiVo. I haven't even showered yet. I really have no motivation to apply for the three jobs I found on TUESDAY!. So 2 days of nothing on the job search. shame spiral.

The FBI could be bringing a really big check from Publisher's Clearinghouse? I dunno. Most people I know who have heard from the FBI have friends undergoing background checks for federal employment, but they usually call, rather than go door to door.
