Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I discovered that I could get pink vanity plates NICEST. But they are a minimum of $50/year and you have to pay for 10 years to get that price.

The price is steep, but really? These plates NEED to be yours.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Life tries to kill us all. And it always wins...

For instance, my nose is trying to kill me AS WE SPEAK.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My sinuses have been trying to kill me all week. I don't know why they hate me so--I never did anything to them.

isn't saying that somebody "lost their battle with life" an odd way of putting it?

I was thinking it could be a proofing error -- like "lost her life" was incompletely changed to "lost her battle with [something]." But I just found the piece and the whole thing reads like it was run through Babelfish a few times so... I think the problem is deeper than that.

Our wings are not tired.

Emmett's coming to SF via BART/Muni today solo for the first time.

This is awesome! I hope he handles it well enough to take some of the transportation burden off of you.

Damn it, buying a house is really really complicated.

Tell me in the end it will be worth it. Please?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Javachik, you're buying? Well, now is definitely the time. And I love having my own yard, and being able to paint my walls any color I like.

But yeah, it's a horrific hassle to do it.

Punishingly Intricate

You know home ownership is a hassle and is expensive sometimes but I am truly glad I bought my house. I love that it is mine (ours now). Being mine meant I could (pay someone to) do this to it, for example:

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ARGH. My counterpart is giving notice tomorrow. We still have no boss. I might die. There is no way I can deal with her workload -- not that I'm so busy (although I should be), but it's a whole different set of people and relationships and bullshit, and I just caaaaan't.

Ah Jesse, pobrecita. Sounds a bit nightmarish.

Consuela, I am trying to buy directly from landlady as she'd like to sell before Feb of next year to avoid capital gains taxes. She's being awesome and I think I may be able to swing this.

And, Lisa, SO COOL.
