Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Once again, the point isn't that he's capable of doing it, it's that he bothered.

I mean that it's easier to bother. You don't need to find someone to teach you. I know a bunch of kids who can do it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Okay, I guess that makes sense, and I was kind of getting there in my mind.

I guess now we need to figure out if there's any reason, tax-wise or whatever else, we should be on the same insurance situation.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I find myself struggling with newfound respect for the Bieber, on discovering that he can solve the Rubik's Cube in 90 seconds.

Really? That's...unexpected. I don't know how I feel about that.

Some of the laziest, stupidest and most irritating kids at my school can do it in less than 60 seconds. It's not that impressive. Plus, if you're bored and you don't mind practicing, which practice is something he obviously doesn't mind, then it's no big deal. Or so they tell me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Since husband is starting his new job tomorrow, we're looking at benefits. He is now going to be working at my company. For some reason, it's cheaper for me to get my insurance and him to get his separately, than it is for one of us to get employee + spouse. I don't understand that.

At my uni, married couples aren't allowed to do that.

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

Pitfire Pizza? I've been to the one on Washington Blvd. It's yummy

Yes! Why didn't you tell me?

Although I'm very lazy, and I want pizza brought to me. But it was good, worth venturing out into the rain for.

Colin is driving a spaceship right now. A 2012 Prius. It's really spooky.

ita, weren't we talking about Pitfire when we went to California Chicken Cafe?

I don't think so. I totally didn't remember them during my LA pizza crisis. I had to persuade Colin not to go to the nearer California Pizza place on the other corner, and I'm glad we did. Not least of all for the sangria.

My brother is being a jackass about my SIL needing to get a new car. As in, he wants her to run the same gamble he does with his jackass cars. I'm not buying. I'm not on her page with buying new, but neither am I on finding something reliable under $5K. Jackass.

I am sure we talked about it because I remember thinking that it was just close enough to walk to, like CCC, but just far enough to make walking almost a drag. I thought you'd remembered them but just disliked them.

Their wild mushroom pizza is delish. The first one opened in my neighborhood.

They also used to do a 5-cheese mac and cheese that was to die for. But their menu changed a little over a year ago and I think it's off the menu now.

We had a sausage pizza and a potato/bacon/radicchio (I'm still not sure what that is) pizza, and they were both pretty tasty. I think I'd eaten there once before, but whatever I had wasn't special. I usually just get distracted by the two closer restaurants.
