Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, I don't think the Excedrin Migraine is working at all tonight. Day two and a half of the migraine. It really sucks that ita and Betsy and others have to go through this so often.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Craaaap. I spontaneously went out, which is a good thing in general, but I think I drank too much... I really need to go to sleep ASAP.

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

I think the smell center in the brain is closest to the memory center or something to that effect. Makes smells very powerful memories.

Crazy powerful. And often quite unexpected.

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

I cannot believe this Giants team. But it's a good kind of disbelief.

::high fives javachik::

When I was working with Kevin last year I said, "When the Giants win their first World Series in San Francisco, Tim Lincecum will fire the strikeout into Buster Posey's glove."

But I didn't think we'd have a shot at in Buster's rookie season.

Off to Texas.

Wah. I've missed all of you people; the third un-ending week is still in high gear. I have agreed to make treats for Noah's halloween party. This is what I made: [link] What is wrong with me?

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

Truly we live in a golden age. I used my debit card in a parking meter. Why haven't I done this before?

I can get into the long-term parking at the airport with a card. No ticket. Go in with the card, use the same one leaving days later and get a receipt. It's amazing.

I LOVE that. Sadly, I mostly don't use the airport parking (too expensive)

I also love using credit for parking...except it encourages them to jack the rates.

The long-term at PDX is not really any costlier than any other local options. Weird, right? I mean, I could save .05 cents a day. That's not worth not using the airport's bus for me.
