Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Yeah, lisah, I feel you. I posted to facebook, but in case you haven't gone there: once you get the doors open run a candle/bar of soap along the edges. It helps SO MUCH.

But NSM with the flooding. Sump pump or french drains for that, neither cheap. When I finally decide to finish the basement (in, oh, 20 years) I'll do both.

I keep getting more pissed off every time I think of the carjacking. I keep wondering, what was I doing then? Could I have looked out and seen something? But the thing is, I mostly monitor the back unless I hear weird noises out front or a neighbor calls me to ask me to watch for them. I just have more angles back there, with the deck being unreachable.

And I have yelled off creepers in the alley.

But tonight I noticed a LOT of folks eating dinner out on their porches and just generally hanging out and chatting. I know from a couple of them it was a deliberate show.

Because books.

That's a really good idea. I mean, the nude pervert in the alley freaked me out, but that's a one-time kind of thing/person. If people were getting carjacked in this neighborhood, I would be off the wall with LET'S TAKE CARE OF THIS.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Couple more for you there, Jesse. I got your back.

Allyson, this Top Chef is adorable. GAIL is all aflutter over Horowitz.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's the 90s

Yeah, Buffy is in there....

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

DAWN!!! New Skulduggery Pleasant! READ IT so I can geeble with you! There's A Thing. And then holy shit, Another Thing. And something that actually made me close the book and flap my hands for a minute.

SERIOUSLY.

Erik wants to sit out on his porch at the top of the street with his grandaddy's shotgun. His wife has persuaded him otherwise. Which I think is wise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, tomorrow is officially Hot Guy theme day on teh Good Stuff.

And now the next two nights are claimed by neighbors: pickup and dinner with one tomorrow, pizza and booze with the nextdoor ones on Friday. NICE!

You rang???

I am conflicted. The most risque picture, I think, of me on Flickr is me wearing a full vintage slip. I've had complimenting comments about it that didn't make me feel uncomfortable, and I had been faved by someone that didn't bother me. I just went and checked out the other favourites of the second person to fave it (who also friended me), and the other pics are of some damned masculine men in full slips, and a couple women from ads.

WHY AM I THE ONLY AMATEUR WOMAN? And the men? Not attractive. And we know how I feel about men in lingerie.
