Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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

The must feel all nice and at home in a compost pile.

Compassionately intolerant

False alarm, at least about the mower. I let it rest a while and it came back from the dead.

I'm a great believer in spontaneous healing with stuff like this. Congrats on your undead mower.

I also have a great recipe for a chocolate stout bundt cake.

So it turns out an astronomer I've had interactions with was on a bullet train from Sendai to Tokyo when the earthquake happened: [link]

Going out with some neighbors in a bit. This has been a very neighborhoody week!

The day our power mower shorted out when I was 13 was one of my happiest. No more mowing in the summer heat! No more getting covered in little bits of grass! Hot wrestler neighbor from down the street hired to come mow our lawn and sweat shirtlessly!

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

Discworld fans, this news is making me feel very torn between squee and fear.

Our wings are not tired.

Can someone tell me what I am missing about this wicker plant stand? What makes it worth $1200?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Did you miss the part where it's from France??

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

I like to think it's because of the beetle damage. You can't just fake that stuff! Maybe they throw in a free beetle with purchase.

I guess I could sell ALL of my French souvenirs for $1200 then! I will be rich rich rich.

Although, sadly, none of them have the valuable beetle damage.
