I care that I don't have space to repair and refinish furniture in.

Zenkitty is me. I have to do most of it outside, which means I'm limited by the weather. Also, outside is full of suicidal bugs.

I neglected to say "yay for good meeting" to Drew.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Commuting here is getting comical. I was all excited to see a bus at the stop when I got off the subway, until I saw that it had clipped another bus. So I walked, no problem. And came in to an email from one of my staff people that she was about to get on the train (or already on it? Unclear) when it caught fire!

At least I'm getting exercise, I guess.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Nice to know cheesy 70s horror thriller stuff still has an impact.

If you ever run across it, check out When Michael Calls. Not quite as cheesy (unless you count the '70s decor and fashions -- remember looooooong stocking hats?), and you'll probably figure everything out before it's half over, but definitely an impact. Especially at the climax.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am sitting in the parking garage at my office because I drove an hour in the fog to get here then realized I left my computer at home.

When dental appointments are preferable to work you may have a suboptimal work environment.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

What I am not saying Elsewhere: Seriously people, if Set A includes Subsets B, C, and, E, complaints about lack of access to Subset B because access to Subset B seems important are no slap in the face to those who have labored to create Subsets C and E. Also, if a reader mistakes complaints about lack of Subset B as somehow indicative that subset E is nonexistant, the flaw in the argument is not that of the author but of the reader.

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

BTDT, Sophia.

Although I'm now picturing you stir frying (to I Go To Work. Because) and the inside-outness is like a statement.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Ginger, an antique dealer I know once was upset because someone wanted to buy an antique low dresser and cut a hole in the top to make it into a bathroom vanity with a sink.

And my mother once impulsively bought a desk because the dealer was planning to do a painting (I forget what kind, specifically, but it would have involved flowers and leaves) on the slant top.
