Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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

Boundaries sound reasonable for that situation.

Naproxen is my One True Painkiller and I'm glad that I don't need it very often.

In petty annoyance news, I tried baking a cake and it didn't work out. I have this tiny little penguin-shaped cake pan and it came with a recipe for white cake that supposedly fits it - one egg and 20 g of pretty much everything else. Which sounded kind of pound cakish, maybe? I don't know, I usually make eggless cakes, so this was new territory. Anyway, it was 20g of baking soda, too, which didn't seem right but I had no idea how to adjust that so I went with it and the cake exploded all over my toaster oven and what was left in the pan has that way-too-much-baking-soda taste.

So, no cake. Wah.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm an old school Tylenol girl. Ibuprofen makes me jittery and naproxen doesn't do a damn thing. I don't drink hardly at all and don't take a ton of Tylenol, so I think I'm okay with it. Besides, I can't buy demerol at Walgreens.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha, that last round he totally thought he was texting somebody else. All good now.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yay, Perkins!

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

Ha, that last round he totally thought he was texting somebody else. All good now.

"How you doin'?" t /Joey Tribbiana

Emmett's laughing like a loon in his bedroom because he's watching comedy clips on YouTube from Slap Shot and The Pink Panther Strikes Again (which I just introduced him to).

Did I mention that he used a clip (uh...movie clip) from Full Metal Jacket (that I also showed him) for his Media class?

Chiming in with a late breaking "WHOOOOT!" for Perkins.

I really shouldn't have had caffeine so late in the day, but at least it allowed me to get caught up in here to add my two cents!

Teppy, has your guy tried glucosamine chondroitin for his knee pain? The surgeon who did my shoulder surgery recommended it for my knees, and the stuff is nearly miraculous. If I go for a week without it I can feel my knees getting loose and unstable.

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

Egad, the neighborhood raccoons are getting even bigger. One just jumped on our roof and I SWEAR it sounded like a person was up there.

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

Like a raccoon street gang.

(I should not even joke. Some pine trees were dropping unopened pinecones on my roof around Thx and they sounded like boulders hitting my roof and freaking me and the cats and any visitors out. Uncool foliage, uncool.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Hey, they gotta eat.
