This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hey, aurelia, is this the video you were thinking of? Matt Bomer behind the scenes at the EW photoshoot - [link].

Yeah, I think I saw an interview that had clips from that.

Well the firework bans here seem to have been effective. I haven't heard a single boom.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I have one cat hiding under the sofa - the other doesn't care.

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

We had sangria, grilled meats, ice cream Oreo cake, key lime pie, and an amazing argula-peach-red onion-chevre-pistashio salad with a peach balsamic viniaigrette. And guac. And homemade salsa. And Texas caviar,

It was hot, so I slapped on a bra and wore a Liberty of London nightgown. What? It's cute, modest, COOL, and pretty! It was just a few friends and they don't care. And I was COMFORTABLE and cute!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We had some firecrackers making noise in the neighborhood last night, which led to the cat insisting on going back inside. Normally he's pretty chill. I suspect unpleasant things may have happened when he was a stray.

Anyway, I went to a friend's BBQ with amyth yesterday, and that was nice. This Saturday I'll be doing voter registration at a local festival, and the forecast temp just keeps climbing. So I suspect I'll spend Sunday in a dark apartment, drinking fluids until I slosh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Last night Gray Cat sprawled on the patio table and watched the fireworks, calm as could be. I haven't seen anything scare him yet. Except plastic bags. But those scare everybody.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, you need to consider this: [link]

Because, seriously.

OMG seriously.

Could have slept more, but I'm feeling normal again. I will bring a bottle of water out with me today...

Except plastic bags. But those scare everybody.

Not Toke. She chews on them (but doesn't actually ingest any plastic -- we've checked) and rolls around them like it's the kitty equivalent of satin sheets.

But we've established long ago that that cat ain't right in the head.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, my cat is a BIG FAN of plastic bags.

Art Crawl!!!

I've been camping out in the a/c at a friend's house since Tuesday night.

Back at work today.

My poor kitty has probably spent most of the past several days lounging in the bath tub. That is apparently the coolest place in my apartment.
