I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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

but I do have my original ipod, which I think is original generation, or maybe Gen 2. I can't get itunes to update it, and the display doesn't really work, but it lives in my kitchen, on speakers, which is great for when I am cooking.

I have every iPod that didn't absolutely die still.

One, in the dock in my bathroom can only be accessed with the remote. It works because I don't have to worry about the steam damaging it. It's already basically a zombie. Can't update it. Click wheel sometimes clicks, never will do the spinny thing. But it still works. A little. Why would I just trash it?

Two, 'Trick, lives in my car because there's a cable and it runs through my stereo all out of sight. Sometimes 'Trick gets to travel if I forget to grab the home iPod before I leave.

Final is the home iPod. Mostly in the dock in the living room. Goes on walks. Travels. The gym if I am not doing a yoga class.

I'd still like a small one for walks and stuff. But not enough to buy or ask for it.

Yep. I sniff the stem end to find ones that actually smell like mango, then bring them home to ripen. Even so, I feel quite sure I'm missing out on some magical mango flavor.

I sniff all fruit, I think. If it doesn't smell like x, no way it'll taste like x. Unless they are something I can't think of a fragrance for, like avocados. But those have gentle squeeze tests. I still think I also just have better luck than most for TJ's produce. Living in Oregon doesn't hurt either.

I am currently downloading stuff from you. Funny.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Back from Balticon. It was a great con, though I didn't do much outside the music track.(It was a great track, and I'm not saying that just because Gary runs that track.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I've heard vodka and water would work as well.

I think this is for you to DRINK while cleaning out your gear.

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

I think this is for you to DRINK while cleaning out your gear.

Yeah. Every time the smell gets to you, you take a shot. Soon the smell won't bug you.

ION, am shopping for a new car. Haven't bought a new car in 11 years. Am leaning towards a Ford Fiesta. (Since my parents' health is declining, I imagine I'll be driving to Clintonville a lot more often.)

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I think in a protest standoff between the WBC and the KKK, I would be the guy off behind one group or another who sneakily flings a rock and yells "GET 'EM!" afterwards.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Anyone else have any tricks I might try?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

MSCL marathon just ended, with "The Zit," so I had to change my tagline. It occurs to me that the full quote is, like, the mission statement of the F2F proms:

Sometimes it seems like we're all living in some kind of prison. And the crime is how much we hate ourselves. It's good to get really dressed up once in a while and admit the truth, that when you look really closely, people are so strange and so complicated that they're actually beautiful. Possibly even me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My hot-ass apartment is so annoying. It's 68 out now, but since the only window in my bedroom has the a/c in it, I just turned it on. It's not even June!

Hah. It's 60 here, and the low this morning was in the 40s.

It's literally 89 degrees in my living room right now. 4th floor, brick, etc. Bleh.
