Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So Hazel's been puking up a little liquid every couple of days. Worth calling the vet over?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Loafing on the couch, watching Matilda work on a craft project that has been disgracefully neglected for far too long, a cigar-box bedroom for Arrietty. It's coming along beautifully (there will be pictures). Later on, after she's reached a good stopping place, she has promised to give me a makeover (there may or may not be pictures). And Hec just coffeed me and got iTunes up and rolling with Vince Guaraldi. It's a very good morning.

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

My living room has a ceiling fan, and the motion of the fan keeps jiggling the light bulbs out of place. I tried to get them back in, but they keep just barely making contact and lighting for a second, then going dark again.

Waking to Vince Guaraldi is an excellent morning! I woke to wishing I was either still asleep or that I hadn't been awakened last night. oh well. There will be coffee soon.

How do Hazel's eyes look, Jesse? Do you suspect it's hairballs?

Her eyes seem fine? I don't think it's hairballs, but what do I actually know? She's not shedding much.

Yeah, okay, I am not helpful, am I? Sorry. When my cats have been sick, they're eyes looked sick, but maybe I"m a bad mom who waits too long before taking her pets to the vet.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Got out early for a run in the hills: was punished for my virtue by getting bit by a nasty stinging fly: it hurt like the dickens when it stung, and 90 minutes later, it still hurts and I've got a welt about 2 inches across. Doesn't help that it stung me under my arm/on the edge of my boob. OUCH, dammit.

Also, Dad called complaining that he was lonely, misses "my best friend". Which is both sweet and makes me sad, because I hope he doesn't call me that when my sister's around. She sees him just as much as I do.

So instead of cooking up some kale and eggs for breakfast, I ate only one piece of the leftover clafouti (NOM) and after my haircut, I will take Dad out for lunch. It's getting so hard to find a place that is quiet enough for him and has food good enough for me...

Oh, hey, did you guys hear about this?

I'm so impressed. This woman is my new hero, and I bet ita would have been all over this story. So great.

The shitty thing is that she was arrested for it, and then the State of SC had a black worker run the fucking thing back up the flagpole. Seriously.

I did see that. Seriously shitty. Also, I gotta wonder if no one thought of the optics on that putting it back up. You couldn't at least find a white dude?
