What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Here TJMaxx is the nicer store, and the Marshall's is messier because it's in a crummier area, and the HomeGoods is in a crummy area too but it's a really nice store, so I think the messiness of Marshall's is due to the people running it not giving a crap, and not some ambient crumminess. The closest Ross is 30 minutes away. I should go there; I seem to have the best luck at Ross.

So today, instead of going to see Winter Soldier, we're going to get pedicures. My friend has her daughter today so no movie, but she suggested pedicures instead. I don't really want to spend money and time doing something I don't care about instead of doing what I did want to do, and I'm feeling childishly irritated about it. But I do want to spend time with my friend, and her kid is cute and well-behaved, so I'll get over it by the time I meet them.

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

Way to be a grown-up, Zen.

After chilling overnight, the Mango Foam was a little foamier, but still not stable. This is going to take more research.

One lesson left and I will be ready for my final. Whee!

And I just filled out the application to adopt one (or two, if they are sociable like that) rabbits.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bunnies!

There's perks to it. At least I don't hafta ask my mom for money when I wanna go out.

I had a plan to go see a 10AM movie, but no one is texting me back, and I would have to leave....now. So I texted again suggesting a 10:45AM movie (downtown, rather than by the mall), but the plan was to eat breakfast in the movie, and I'm hungry NOW, not at 1045! Hrm.

The status is NOT quo.

That's awesome, -t! How much do you know about bunnies? My dear friend C is a bunny rescuer and an expert, so let me know if you want to email her. The biggest misconceptions she cleared up for me are diet (buns needs fresh veggies and hay every day; pellets are not good for them despite the marketing), bonding (you can bond two bunnies, but it takes a long time and can be bloody--rabbits are extremely territorial, and even if baby buns appear to get along, they may not as they age), and habitat (domestic rabbits need to be inside; they can't regulate their body temp well and can't handle extreme heat or cold).

Here's a link to an organization she works with that has great info about adopting a bunny: [link]

I hope that didn't come across wrong; I'm sharing only because I've learned so much I didn't know from C about adopting a a bunny, and I thought this night be helpful.

'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"

I was going to post the Geep link. My guess is that it involves a doubled-gene situation or something, since most die in utero or are stillborn. So that's a lucky little kid-lamb-thingie.

Maybe I could adopt a dwarf goat and claim it was a very odd-looking dog?

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

Target sometimes has some pretty good deals on clothes, though you've got to put together the printable coupons and the mobile coupons and the Cartwheel mobile app discounts to get the really good ones.

Thanks, Pix. I've had a rabbit before and I'm adopting from a vet student who is happy to provide info, so I think I'm good on that front.
