It is too cold. I think I'm OK with it being cold outside as long as I know that it's warm inside, but it's cold inside, too. My living room has a huge picture window, with single-pane glass. I've got insulated curtains over it, and they help somewhat, but there's still a lot of cold coming in. And the couch is right in front of that window, because that's really the only way to arrange the room.

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

Because books.
My dad toasts buns all the time. Usually on the grill, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I toast everything, myself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Buns should be toasted whenever possible.

I second -t's opinion on buns.
So my friend L referred a professional placement firm to me, which is nice, although I don't know if I convinced them I'm a good fit for the position they're hoping to fill. Damn this economy: a quasi-generalist is not, apparently, competitive for these positions where all they want is utility experience. Argh.

My next article is on macular degeneration. No pictures. I feel a little cheated.
Think how cheated the people with macular degeneration feel.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't tend to make sandwiches on buns at home, but usually toasted (or grilled) is a good idea for them.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If billytea, for one, can't come up with some completely amazing and elegant haiku based on an obscure anatomical feature the rest of us have completely overlooked or never knew existed, I shall eat my hat.
Heh. I'm supposed to be working, you know. I doubt these will help your friend, but perhaps it will spare your hat:
