Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh ita, I'm sorry about both those things. I wanted to see Frankenstein with you but it became more and more apparent that today wouldn't work for me. Will try for the 30th with you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oy on both counts, ita!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Hopefully they realized they got what they deserved for double parking and don't call.

Talked to neighbor in the parking lot, and he asked if I ever found the paper his wife slipped into my car. I tried very hard not to say that she was full of shit. He suggested that she'd opened the door, but I lock my car up except for the cracked drivers window. Then I got caught up on his opinions about gas pricing, social security, license requirement for popping out babies, and food stamps. Thankfully his stepdaughter came home and I was, once again, able to break away gracefully.

I bought winterproof boots (for walking to the Y, market and dealing with snow, my ugly but cheap target boots of a few years now leak) and a pair of replacement lower-heeled black pumps. I tried to repair my no-brainers, but it isn't working out so well.

Funny, as much as both were necessary and I LOVE SHOES, I didn't want to spend money on shoes I need. I'd rather spend it on house-stuff. Tonight at least. Shocking!

But tomorrow I'll probably get some replacement edging to replace the stuff that got broken by TorTers. Note to self: either more sturdy for next year or block it off so they can't step over.

I'm so tired.

K and I did a StoryCorps interview today and now I feel a little gutted.

Wow, Kat. You're part of history!

I have been tagged to go to the MLA this year and interview job candidates, so now I need a proper winter coat.

I have a J. Crew wool one you can borrow. I only have worn it to inaugurations.

Also, you should totally do StoryCorps, Burrell. They are leaving LA in two weeks, but then going to Thousand Oaks.

Thanks Kat, I'd love to borrow it.

And yes, I should think about doing StoryCorps. Hrmmm.

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

I have a Russian army surplus one that you can...well, you could, but you shouldn't. Even if you didn't have a stylish previous offer. It's a bit heavy. And Cyrillic.
