Oooh, I found clips! [link]
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

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?
Ignoring the fire alarm seems like a bad precedent.
The exact instruction was "ignore the fire alarm for the rest of today unless there is an annoucement to leave." I think it'll be okay.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If anyone wants to look me up on Words With Friends, I'm itamoon. I can't promise to keep playing with the response time I've been playing with to start, but it's fun.
You're just looking for someone to play with who won't lose all the time the way I do, aren't you?

Because books.
Oooh, I found clips!
Score. Now I can watch the pretty while reclining.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
One of the best Chicago city photos I've ever seen.
Wow, that's cool.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
A friend of mine has started something on FB. He posted this as his status:
I’m disgusted with sweeping condemnations about teachers. Rather than add to the negative I’m dedicating my status for a while to the names of those teachers who made a GIGANTIC difference in my life. Thank you [list of names] (to start with a few…)
If you'd like to, feel free to spread it around.

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

That is a cool photo. The intersection is considered the heart of Wicker Park. Miriam lives a block away from there.

Because books.
That's a great idea, aurelia.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'll be doing what I was doing yesterday: lifting boxes down from their stacks, opening them, lifting objects from within, unwrapping all the paper and bubble wrap, placing object on shelf, stretching inside the cabinet to achieve desired placement, holding stretched position for several seconds while precise placement is made, and doing reps to adjust placement as more objects are added. Lifting, bending, holding (light) weights at arms' length, maintaining stretch pose, relaxing, repeating sequence.
You guys, you guys! H's dragon collection, the individual antique and vintage wine glasses he's collected one at a time over years, and the pysanky (Ukrainian wax-painted Easter eggs) he's crafted over decades are all displayed in the lighted, mirrored section of the breakfront! It looks so fabulous I can't tell you. The breakfront has always been an impressive piece, but it was built before electricity, and before mirrored interiors were customary, so it never had either. Now, though?
The light is an LED fixture so it costs little to run and generates very little heat. But he has been saying all along, "There's no need to keep it on except for visitors or occasions..." Hee! You can see it when you come in from the living room, or from the back door, and he can see it from his chair in the living room. The light only got turned off yesterday when we went to bed. And it was on when I got up this morning. Picture soon, I promise.
