BTDT, Zen.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Congratulations, Scrappy!

Because books.
Congratulations to Scrappy, and fingers crossed for Theo!
Spending the evening reading through this awesome series of posts about Bruce Springsteen. Lots of stuff I didn't know here...
Just opened it up. And put on Born to Run, too.

Thank dog the French press is whatever-I-did-to-the-Aeropress proof. Second cup of coffee (third attempt) = success!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Congrats, Scrappy!

Whew, completed week one of training, did not get eaten by zombies.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The potato thing with the light bulb didn't work -- the metal part is too smooth for the potato to get any grip on it. When I turn the potato, the potato turns but the metal part stays where it is. I'll try pliers next, I guess. But I've got the other bulbs replaced, so now my apartment is all nice and bright.

Well, my uncle died. Some kind of memorial service on Monday and then the funeral on Tuesday. Whatever else you want to say about Uncle Svetik, I think it's safe to say he lived on his terms, and that's pretty good.
Eta: too bad about the potato, Hil. I've never tried that trick but it sure sounds like it should work!

I'm sorry about your uncle, -t.
Pliers didn't work on the bulb, either. They bent the metal but it wouldn't turn. Also rained down a bunch of black dust on my face, which was somewhat alarming and made me quite glad that I was wearing my glasses and not contacts.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sorry about your Uncle Svetik, -t.
