I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I love my couch job. Well, love that it's a couch job, and often love the job part as well.

I don't have time for this! Waiting for Xmas to arrive is like watching a slow motion train wreck.

I'm sorry to hear that! For us, it's just a holding on issue.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm sorry, Burrell. I hope it goes more easily than you think.

And now, before I start my couch job, I will go make snickerdoodles. While listening to cheesy Christmas songs (including that Dan Fogelberg song that always gets me even though it's totally hokey).

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

I think the problem is I'm no longer holding onto much of anything, and I just have to hope I don't fall too far, and that there's something down there to cushion the landing.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I think I would be OK on a glass floor? My fear is connected to being off-kilter, so a stepladder is way scarier to me than a tall building.

In this I am Jesse.

Anyone ever use the escalator at Porter Square station in Cambridge, MA? You know the one I mean if you have. That things gives me panic attacks going up or down.

Actually, I think up is worse because I worry I'm going to lose it and keel over backwards, and once that started I'd be heading for the bottom.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That escalator never bothered me much because there is a low ceiling. I nearly had a panic attack on an escalator in DC because it was nearly as high and steep -- in an open-to-the-sky pit. Had to close my eyes and hang on to the rail for dear life. Only time I can ever remember being hit like that.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The ceiling never helped because it's not the wide open space that gets to me, it's the angle of the ascent.

Plus I've always had the irrational fear that escalators were out to get me, something a certain X-Files episode did nothing to alleviate.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I've signed up for a tai chi class in January. Should I watch Avatar (I'm assuming Airbender, not Pandora) first?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am again kicking ass with productivity, but still not getting all I want done. Big nbig achievement of the day was 2 boxes and 3 bags of stuff out of my house. Also e things mailed off.

Now I must break for lunch so I do not lose steam.
