Dana! I never think of that kind of thing! We'll see if he writes back saying "no" to my request to reduce the amount.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I like Dana's suggestion. Theo's as a backup.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yikes, msbelle! I can only hope that you at least get a good story out of this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jesse, I wonder if you could find somebody on Craigslist that would want to stay there for a less than full year. Especially in Boston with all the hospitals you're always going to be doctors coming in for residencies and shit like that for part of a year.

'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"
Heh -- you could probably sign up for Air BnB and make money on it, what with it being right in Harvard Square.

Theo doesn't lie. Hell, aren't there NFL/Hockey and holidays around this time?

So what does all of this mean for people who want to, well, "call a spade a spade"? I urge caution. Mieder concludes his case study with the argument that "to call a spade a spade" should be retired from modern usage: "Rather than taking the chance of unintentionally offending someone or of being misunderstood, it is best to relinquish the old innocuous proverbial expression all together."
Hmph. RACISTS ARE THE REASONS WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. I feel like giving up on innocuous phrases is letting the racists win.

Yeah, sadly USING the phrases is ALSO a win for the racists. It's almost like the game is rigged...
I highly highly recommend those of you with a Trader Joe's get you some pumpkin cream cheese and then dip cinnamon sugar pita chips into it. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Went to the Renaissance Faire yesterday. Saw some acts we've seen before, and some we hadn't. Weather was good and we had fun.

OK, so my lease says I can sublet with approval. I'll see what my friend Kevin has to say.
