I almost had a ghostwriting gig that bad. Except that guy, who presents as super-clean disability crusader, pretty much seemed to be hitting on me.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes I can't believe they're still actually in business.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
My usual luck, and karma? I usually take the path of wishing their enemies and adversaries well, and not thinking of dire things to wish on anybody.
I kinda like Zen's method, though.

Yes, we work in tandem.
My life is NEVER boring. Very weird, and I think it runs on serendipity overdrive sometimes, but it's never boring.

apropos of nothing at all, it seems that even when the instructions were written in your language, Ikea furniture is still a pain to assemble.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
OSTRICHPILLOW® at your desk, on a bench, on the train or while you wait at the airport to catch a flight. In fact, you can use the OSTRICHPILLOW® whenever and wherever you feel like the need to nap.

Oven is working, but the convection motor needs replacing. Somehow this is going to end up costing me about half what the stove cost, new.
