Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got stood up! WTF. I had plans with a friend, and she never showed or texted. Bah. Although all things considered, I'm just as glad to watch Project Runway and go to bed.

I'm watching Project Runway now! But am getting picked up in a bit to go see 50/50. I warned my friend I'm going with that I'm going to cry a lot probably.

Luckily, you should both laugh and cry, right? Also, the real guy is OK now.

Really interesting (long) article on female singledom.

Thank you! I saw that earlier in the week, and meant to read it at home, but kept forgetting!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Has Project Runway started up again? This whole not having tv thing is just weird.

I did more thrift shopping today and found the sweater and skirt for my Velma costume! Thank you, Junior League. I also got a cute dress and skinny jeans (don't judge)(go ahead, judge) and a couple of other things. Behold my brilliance - I'm going to cut the arms off of the sweater and use them for my knee socks, so they will match my top exactly.

Yes! I wouldn't be seeing it I don't think if it wasn't for that.

Ooh, that is brilliant.

It's almost done!

So my friend emailed -- she said she was late and phoneless, and apologized. So all's well that ends well....

I've got laundry in and I'm eating dinner. I just need to pack, wrangle electronics, empty produce from the refrigerator, take out the garbage, call for a taxi, shower, and attempt to be in bed in two hours.

I've been running errands throughout the week, so I might actually succeed at that last one.

I found the bit at the end, about how she encouraged a fellow single friend to move into her apartment building and the way she and her peers have built a support community, to really resonate with my current arrangement. As I was reading it, was also making to market plans with my neighbors, agreeing to let a married couple's dog out during the day and tying down my neighbor's plants, as it is really windy.
