Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

I actively avoid using my stove 4-5 months out of the year, so if I want something hot or cooked, I need a microwave. Much less heat to dissipate.

Security guy at the Y was wearing his jacket; it was 76. But everyone has been remarking on the chill in the air. Because we are all so broken after this summer.

I marvelled how the sun was setting on my walk home. Summer is slipping rapidly away.

The leaves have all nearly turned on the mountains, though that's partially because of drought. And the sun has no longer cleared the mountains by the time I get up in the morning.

Building just rattled from a big assed thunder clap right over head. Hooray for reading and heeding weather.com and for rolling up my windows.

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

It was 40 degrees here when I left the house this morning, but 70 by this afternoon. Dragging a coat around all day is a pain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was 65-68 all day here, as far as I could tell. Both outside and in my office.

Punishingly Intricate

I use the microwave to melt butter and heat up leftovers sometimes. And defrost stock most of the way if I've forgotten to take it out of the freezer in time. The microwave broke a couple of years ago and can only be set in 30 second increments which is kind of a pain in the ass. I could live w/out the microwave, if I had to, but would miss it.

I really want some ice cream (even though it is now FALL, evidently) and we have no ice cream. wah wah

I use the microwave all the time, mostly to avoid dirtying a pot, because I can hear things in the plate or bowl I'll eat them out of.

I saw broadway or bust last night, and it was both adorable and horribly awkward. Omg.

And I totally heart both Pink and Ellen, and should totally find that on you tube.

Also, I just ran a whole mile! I mean, without stopping to walk. I was very proud. I haven't done that in forever.

Who needs a microwave?

Me, me, me. My built-in microwave died about five months ago and I haven't been able to get it fixed yet. I like to make food for more than one meal and reheat it, and I keep burning things trying to reheat them on the stove. I had timed how long it took to heat water to the best coffee-brewing temperature. Almost no frozen dinners are reheatable in the oven. Also, I love the microwave-in-bag vegetables.

Dear microwave, I miss you so much.

Then again - used microwaves seem kind of dodgy.
