Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

This pitch for a new line of journals is cracking me up:

These beautiful journals were designed by Angee Robertson. Growing up with divorced parents and moving quite often, Angie's journal was the one constant she had in her life. It was her confidant and her best friend. In 2006, she became really frustrated at the lack of options available in journals for women. She thought to herself: “Why aren't there any pretty journals that are also functional, laying flat when opened so I can actually write in them?” So she set out on what would be a four-year journey to develop a way to provide journals for women that were not only functional, but beautiful as well.

I don't know what part amuses me more, the "four-year journey" to create these journals, the emphasis on journals for women (Why do only men get to have functional journals? SEXISM!!), or the idea that the world needs another fucking line of journals in the first place.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And I have a seat by myself (so far) in the quiet car! Amtrak WIN.

Women are oppressed! Not enough journals.

So I went with my sister yesterday to pick up the new dog--she's adopting another St. Bernard. This one is a 3-year-old male, a conformation champion, whose owner needs an ankle replaced and just doesn't have the time/energy to keep such big dogs anymore.

So we met him, and he's pretty sweet and biddable. But he's three years old and doesn't know how to sit on command! And I don't think he even recognizes his name!

My sister is flabbergasted: she didn't expect to have to do such remedial training with him.

And he has been rechristened as Ringo, since he's so good natured and maybe kinda dopey. (Apologies to the Beetles fans!)

This is what those hardback composition books with the black and white covers are for.

Because books.

What? Wow. What's a conformation champion, though?

But they're not pretty enough for women!!

They can just use binders.

Ha!

The composition books don't open flat, do they? I do know what she's saying about that part, I admit.

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

Remember back in olden days when we'd gather around the hearth and stack cats?
