Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There is way more just in this load than I have room to hang, sadly. I am just not set up for that.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Sephora sends offers of make-up, that's pretty good.

Except that the two makeup goodies that were part of my "Yay, it's your birthday month!" order turned out to be things I didn't like. However, the Thierry Mugler Angel gift box that I got with my Beauty Insider points? Awesome.

I need resume advice. I have a kick-ass resume that Strix created for me, and I love it. The recruiter I talked to today wants a different style of resume, where instead of having a big section that lists my skills/accomplishments, he wants a listing of what I did for each job. Which I can pull together, but that will make my resume HUGE. Should I only do that breakout for the past 5 years? Or should I create the enormous one?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It sounds like a pain in the ass, but having the huge one around seems like it couldn't hurt.

Speaking of lunch, I had yummy yummy Korean bib-bam-bip. With all the sides. I took the leftovers home, but I had to stop a few places, and now my car smells of fish cakes. Erm.

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

-t, I have a couple tennis ball sized balls that I toss in the dryer and I get a notable increase in efficiency due to better air circulation during the load. Probably can't hurt.

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

I hate winter. Especially in an old house. Surest thing to trigger an asthma attack for me is going too quickly between breathing warm air and breathing cold air, and right now, I think there's at least a 30 degree different in temperature just in different parts of my living room.

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

So far my lunch is animal crackers. Which I had to confiscate from the cat who was standing on the table with her head in the bag scooping them out. Most landing on the floor where her accomplice awaited to Hoover them up.

Well, they are called animal crackers.

I was totally creeped out by an ATM wishing me a happy birthday.

Hooray, the soup that I left simmering on the stove while I was at work (unintentionally, I meant to bring it to a boil when I woke up and let it cool down all day but I didn't turn the burner all the way off)

I accidentally left a cast iron pot of apple butter on the stove overnight once. I actually checked, but the flame was so low I didn't see it.

It never did burn, and the house smelled amazing when I woke up. But the half inch layer of marble-hard apple caramel that was all that remained in the pot resisted every caustic substance and make-shift chisel I could come up with. And I tried for three weeks. Finally had to toss the pot.
