I just offered my next door neighbor's fiance the use of my garage this fall. She's having literally a ton of belongings delivered tomorrow. I'll drop them a key in the morning.

Cause honestly? Though I'd love to start using my garage, other things are more pressing. So they can have it.

I want Perkins' evening. But I have my friend Suzi, who lurks her VERY occasionally over to my house for wine, talk and snacks tomorrow afternoon. She lives in Portland, and my friend K, Suzi and I met in 1993 in our semester abroad in London.

Kelly and I have been BFF's for god, 18 years, but though I keep in touch with Suzi via SMN's, I haven't seen her in 13 years!

My cousin Penny(Whom I don't really know) was at the Gallaudet protests. I also read "No Pity" which has a long chapter on it. But that's kinda like ita answering a reggae question, huh?

Ok, Erin's talk of Suzi and Kelly make me feel like I'm in the wrong place. I should be with her sipping wine.

YAYAYAYAYAY Perkins!

I had a panic attack earlier when I got the mail. There was a thick envelope from the IRS. They have decided that I owe an additional $8,400 on my 2009 taxes. OMG. I think I have figured out what they are looking at and I have documentation supporting the numbers I used, so I'm hoping I can contest the bill without it being too much of an issue. But still...$8,400!!!

On the other hand, it made the $196 emergency room bill for CJ look minor in comparison.

Suzi, don't panic. The same thing happened to us once, except it was $14K. Also, it was our mistake, but we actually ended up getting money back. Still, there's nothing quite like that first shock.

Whoot, Perkins!

This is the ring I want a wrist cuff like. Something simple, unadorned heavy. Can't find anything yet. Can't even find the ring on the BR.com website to see if they did other stuff like it that wasn't in the store.

I have two silver cuffs. They're just not the silver cuffs.

Just that plain and smooth and rounded? That would be really pretty.

I have two silver cuffs. They're just not the silver cuffs.

Is this like how I have multiple stripey blazers, but they're not the stripey blazer I'm still coveting?

I just did a quick browse of Etsy, but didn't see what you were looking for there.

I'm reading Mark Reads where he's actually re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone and in the comments they're going off on the itchy impulse to sort characters from other shows into houses.

And somebody said Mal and Zoe were in Slytyherin!

And the Doctor was a Huffelpuff!

I can't defend the fact that this annoys me no end.

Like, how could Mal and Zoe be anything but Gryffindor? Frankly, they're way more Gryffindor than Hermione (Ravenclaw) and Neville (Huffelpuff). And the Doctor is the very definition of Ravenclaw!

Share my outrage.

I need a weekend away from LA. Where should I go?
