Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone once wrote PENIS on the dirt on the back window of my car. I hadn't parked badly or anything--the only thing I could think of was someone was complaining because I drove a big old Mercury.

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

I tend to put rehearsal quotes on the back or in the margins of my notes. Those can be cryptic and/or hilarious when I no longer remember the context.

So, to get to my plane in two weeks, I can either wake up my housemate early to have him drive me to the train, where I have to figure which trains and transfers will get me to the plane on time, or I pay $34 for the shuttle that will pick me up at the house and drop me off at the terminal. My inner cheapskate is balking at the price, but my inner fretter is pointing out all the connections and having to depend on others to get me where I need to be.

Yeah, I think I just convinced myself to take the shuttle.

Who in the Bay area is going to test this and report back?

The Sushirrito Is A Combination of the World's Best Foods

Sushi is fantastic, but it's awfully hard to eat on the go. On the other hand burritos are marvelous, but they can feel a little heavy. So why not combine the portability of a classic burrito with the fresh offerings of a tasty sushi roll.

Right now Sushirrito is only open in the Bay Area, but I for one can't wait until they are everywhere!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My guess would be middle school kids.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

"last day for sushi" in my paper desk calendar in April?

I actually know this one! That was the sushi place in Napa that you/we bought a living social deal for, and it expired in April.

I am supposed to be doing two things right now. The first one requires a partner in the DC office to call me back, but he is working at home today, so I think he might be sick, and in any case, he is not calling me back. The second one involves me learning something new that I really need to learn, but I don't wanna.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Is it too far to have your housemate drive you all the way to the airport?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yeah, I think I just convinced myself to take the shuttle.

My inner cheapskate has finally given up. Every time I listen to her, I end up in a miserable situation that would have been avoided by spending a little money. Now, as long as I can afford it, I spend the extra to make my life easier.

I am out of spoons. For once, that's not a metaphor; I need to run the dishwasher before I can have soup.

How can you do this to me? This is diabolical! eta I changed my mind. MGG is adorable but 17 years younger than me, so C MGG, Mantegna is 16 years older than me but adorable, so F Mantegna, and Gibson is one year older than me and I've had a crush on him forever, so M Gibson.

I hope I get to enjoy Bobby Jindal being humilated on a national stage.
