Is Google automatically giving local results now, or do I just live in the world's crunchiest neighborhood? (A friend who had a VBAC recently told me how much it helped her to have a doula present, so I googled "doula" just to educate myself a little, and after Wikipedia and doula.com, the entire rest of the first page of results is Brooklyn-related!)
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Does it tell you your location in the lefthand sidebar? Mine tells me I'm in Cincy, and I don't get Brookyln doula stuff (I googled doula to check your neighborhood's crunchiness).

Oh hey, there's my zipcode. And I'm logged into Gmail in another tab, so that explains how it knows. Cool!
(And now you should probably clear your search history before Tim starts asking questions...)

An hour and four and a half 30 gallon trash bags full of leaves. And the tree hasn't even gotten serious about dropping its junk. cries
I'm gonna go swim in a bit. And then do laundry and HOPEFULLY find my stupid shirt.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
guest room is now done, de-cluttered, bed made, and vacuumed - I even put together make-do bedside tables and covered the small ex-kitchen table to make a work table in there for guests.
Am now clearing the mess that is the front room. I have 13 empty plastic bins - Getting them to the garage will clear out one whole corner.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's ridiculously practical.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So smart!
Hey, anyone got any good news for the weekend?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Dang, Jon Stewart just made me cry. Wish I was there.
I was, and you couldn't really hear or see anything but the crowd where I was, but I'm glad I went. I'll catch up with what was happening on stage some other way.
I went in with a friend of mine. We were going to park at one of the Metro stations and take the train in, but there were lines going into the station when we got there, so we bit the bullet and went into DC, and managed to find good parking near Chinatown. The only downside was we had to leave a half hour early, but since you couldn't see or hear it very well, I figured I got enough of the experience. Also got a souvenir towel, so there's that.
I was kicking myself that I was all the way to New Haven before I realized I'd forgotten my camera, but all I would have gotten was pictures of people's costumes and signs. Since it wasn't the main reason for this trip, I consider it a win for the weekend, all things considered. The drive down, however, nsm.
