Happy Birthday, Amy!
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Happy Birthday, Amy!
I'm listening to yesterday's Fresh Air on intunes. The author of a book about Small Pox and state ordered vaccinations is on - very interesting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think I found a site that has more time wasting potential than Drench does [link]
For example, did you know:
The average American will eat 35,000 cookies in a lifetime.
Approximately 850 peanuts make a 18 oz jar of peanut butter.
Ten per cent of the salt mined in the world each year is used to de-ice the roads in America.
The site also has a section on insults, riddles, jokes, humor, wordplay, and mind games [link] and a section on Chicago: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shower, Suzi. It works wonders.
They've put off my change for this weekend. I worry that no one trusts me anymore.
Some ad told me that the average American owns 12 cars in their lifetime. Which means some people own tons (tommy, I'm looking at you), because I'm certainly not doing my share of the heavy lifting.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Does leasing count? My dad gets a car lease from his office, and he gets a new one every four years. (He actually doesn't really care about new cars, and he's still driving a ten-year-old Camry, but my mom likes the new cars, so she picks out the office one and she drives it for those four years and then gets a new one.)

Huh. Lemme think:
1. A crappy Dodge Omni that abandoned me on Route 128 in rush-hour traffic when the clutch cable broke. Hated that car.
2. A used Subaru hatchback I drove for about six years and then traded to my parents for my mother's
3. Honda Civic. Which I also hated: it was underpowered and had no A/C, and the tape deck broke, and it wasn't a hatchback.
4. 1998 Subaru Outback Sport (the little one): 4-door hatchback with CD player, A/C, and AWD. It doesn't get great mileage but since I don't commute in it I don't mind much.
That's 4 cars in 29 years of driving; at this rate, I'll own another 4 before I die.

I've had a drivers licence for 13 years, and I've owned one car, which I just bought last year. I'm planning on keeping it a while.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I owned a crappy Dodge Omni, too. I hated it so much I never owned another car again.

I've got a Scion xD, which, along with the Honda Fit, seems to be the car that you get when you really want a Mini Cooper but can't afford it.
