Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha!

I saw a listing the other day for something that was in "mint condition," aside from the several scratches and holes. Um, OK.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Maybe it was minty fresh.

I certainly hope so.

Or had been used to carry pennies until it was bursting at the seams?

I found Mr. Flappy! He is squished behind the linen shelf upstairs, just...well, not CHILLING, because we have no AC and it's 95 degrees up here, but he's somnolent.

And Animal Control is coming over, so I can point him out and run like hell.

'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"

Yay! It's funny how my thoughts keep turning to food, but then I haven't spent a whole lot of time fasting. In fact this may be the longest time except when I've been nauseous.

That was a good one!

Theo, how long do you have to fast for??

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Gonna get to see my dad this weekend. He's going try and close out gram's house, but thinks he has time to visit. Since he's the dude driving 6 hours to Long Island and back, I said I'd drive over Manhattan to meet him (it's also a selfish desire to not have to clean, but also for fresh Long Island pizza). Its crazy, I still know more good places to eat on LI than I do in NJ.

I just hope he doesn't include grams on our meetup. She's his mum and her second son has been a complete dick to her, leading to a whole slew of situations that make me sympathetic to her, but I still hate her guts.

Theo, fasting blows.

I am losing my mind. But my new chromebook is pretty fun.
