I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For fuck's sake. Someone stole my license plates (and holders).

Well, I'm done for today. I called the police station and apparently you can't report these things remotely so I know what I'm doing tomorrow morning when the traffic settles.

Well that's... stupid. I hate shit crimes like that. Maximum inconvenience, minimal recourse for you. I'm sorry.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I wish I had awesome neighbors to miss. I'll miss their snow plow for the driveway. But I'll not miss the fear of owing them a favour. I'm still getting heckled for every little observance he makes of me, which doesn't help with my reclusiveness.

Jesus, ita, I'm sorry! Happened to me once, and it sucked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously, ita? What a ridiculous PITA for you! Like you needed one more thing.

Also I totally thought the first Black president would be a Republican (Powell or Rice) because enough Dems would cross over to make history.

Totes.

Well, I'm re-ordering my back holder: [link] and will kust have to work on a front holder to replace the one I lost.

This is ridiculously petty and not petty and it's the sort of thing that fires off a migraine or the bulging disc pain (currently both), so I'm going to have to try and zen my way out, lacking abortives...

One of the few krav guys I keep in touch with went on a ten day Indian Buddhist meditation course, and he swears it's like Life 2.0, coping mechanisms unlocked. I'd take it right now if I could.

OMG, I'm so dopey -- I just made a blueberry pie, and was smart enough to put foil on a cookie sheet, but then I put the sheet on a different rack from the pie plate. So it was hard to take out and I still got spilled-over blueberry juice on the bottom of the oven. Ah well.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

you can't report these things remotely

What, they want to see in person that the license plates aren't actually still on your car?

What if you get pulled over for not having plates? Will they take the report then? Or make you drive all the way to the station? Craziness.

ten day Indian Buddhist meditation course, and he swears it's like Life 2.0, coping mechanisms unlocked.

Unfortunately you'd have to survive the meditation course to find out and I think if you can then you get that level unlocked.

I do not have good coping mechanisms but my work people go on about me being able to get things done. This was on the heels of my planning a two day meeting, creating the agendas, the handouts, the activities, the posters and the infernal presentations only to be told that someone needs half a day on Thursday. ARGH.

I don't plan at the last minute. Why do others?
