Life tries to kill us all. And it always wins...
For instance, my nose is trying to kill me AS WE SPEAK.
Early: You folks are all insane. Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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