Because books.
All fingers crossed, Cash.
The shutdown is making me more furious every day. Impotent rage is a horrible feeling.
Kat, you need a week's vacation on a beach somewhere. I can't imagine doing all that you do.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
What the hell, Cash? There's no one else who can interpret the results?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
JFC, Cash. That's ridiculous.
Jesse, don't go for my hour and a half from Tuesday. Entire morning shot by a 9:30 appointment, but on the up side, PROGRESS.

Was the interview about how she can't sing any more? Because that would also make me cry.
Someone emailed about possibly wanting our old moving boxes. Please, please, please let him be for real so we can get these things out of the house.

It was partly about that, but about all kinds of other stuff as well, including the death of her father, which tipped me over the edge that I was already on because of the song. Damn you, McGarrigles!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Maybe 15 years ago public school teachers in DC were paid sporadically for about a year... they'd go months without a check. I think it was the city budget? Yeah, no one cares.

Makes me glad I'm working from a 4 lb. bag of frozen Tyson chicken I bought last week, and I tend to cook til the meat is crispy.
