I think we've chosen a place to move to, *half a block* away from work. I've never had so much agita with the process, mostly because my boss taught me the magic phrase: "Is there anything you can do for me on the price?"
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The cover story of the NY Times Magazine this week is a travel article about two families -- both with a mother, a father, and little kids -- who go to Disney World together, and the fathers keep sneaking off together to smoke pot. It's a well-written, funny article, but I can't help wondering whether it could have taken the same tone if it was mothers smoking pot -- with mothers, I'm pretty sure it would be "These are horrible people who don't deserve to have children" rather than "Oh, those funny guys finding a way to deal with Disney." Also, no mention made of the fact that dealing with small children at Disney really requires as many adults per child as possible, and they're taking half the adults out of the responsibility picture without OKing it with their wives who are going to have to pick up the slack.

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.
Matt, turns out you should have gone with the booty call.
I'll admit I wasn't thrilled with the results, but that was the most nail-biting game of the series. For once, both teams showed up and played near the best of their ability in the same game.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Today was supposed to be a get things done day, and I did empty the dishwasher and put some dirty dishes in it while I waited for the coffeemaker to do it's thing, but then I told myself that I could curl up in the recliner while I drank my coffee.
I think I may have made a tactical error.

I have dropped off A/C and returned with bakery goods.
Mmmm, chocolate croissant...
You know another nice thing about summer? Almost naked, well-toned, sweaty men running in the sunshine.
And it's GORGEOUS here today -- stormed last night so it's very clear and not humid, about 72 degrees, mild blue skies.

The status is NOT quo.
People. I scheduled phone interviews for the English TA (intern) next year on a Saturday, ie today. What is WRONG with me?
After all the initial phone interviews I have F2F interviews next Thursday and Friday so we can make a final decision. THEN vacation will start.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently my weekend plans are to be on the phone. But I really have to get my hair cut. I just don't know how to work that into my phone conversations.

One thing my plans do not involve is growing any Japanese cucumbers, since someone just dug up the plant and ate it right in front of me. I swear, dog.

I am not making great progress on my to-do list. I am going to be annoyed with myself this evening.

I was out planting herbs, and turned just caught Oz about to take a crap where my carrot seedlings were. It's bad enough when strange cats crap in the garden, but my own! And I was right there!
