I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Kat, that's awesome! Go you!

Liese, May 28th? Yes, I'll be around. My details from the last time you were here are still the same; I'd love to meet up!

I'm going to have to try that Nasaort (possibly tonight.) It feels like my nose wants to crawl right off my face.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Did greenhouse work today with my staff after spending half the day laying out plants for planting. Facilities manager came in and was an amazing ass, which he never has been towards me. Said that I loved to talk and implied that you could get me to slack if you chatted at me about cats. Implied that the work we were doing was just busy-work due to the weather. WTF?! It was like he was making a point to be an ass in front of three witnesses to undermine me. My fave intern then reported that she'd witnessed him sunbathing on the porch roof a day or so ago. So, pffbtt. Jesus, just because we're not breaking a sweat doesn't mean we're not doing our jobs. And if I'm not talking shop, that means it's lunchtime. FU very much.

not your mom's socks.

Congratulations Kat!! That's awesome and very well deserved.

Ginger, I'm sorry about the tree.

It was grandparents' day here. yup. I think I am going to lose it completely.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That sounds like teasing to me, Juliebird. Like he was trying to seem cool and funny in front of the crowd.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You guys, the two-family townhouse next door to my building is for sale. Anyone want to loan me a million bucks?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus, is that listing suggesting it could be a teardown? With the language about the buildable square feet?

ION, if you've forgotten about the horrors of the Bush administration, do watch this week's Frontline.

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

Whew, I made it through my 6 mile run for a total of 19 this week. Walter suggested we lay down on the grass after mile 2, but he rallied. Tired now. Legs already sore, usually that hits the next day. Have burned more calories than I have eaten today, should probably do something about that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow, -t, that's great. I totally should start zombies this summer, huh?

They are very motivating! I'm almost through Season 1, and pretty darn happy I don't have to wait for Season 2 to start. Come to think of it, I was not chased once during this run; maybe they knew I needed to conserve my strength.
