How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Oh, and the surcharge, apparently they'll be sur charging me for another year, or maybe I have two more. They said three years of surcharges. I suppose it's a way of keeping me on my toes and instilling continuous fear in me regarding my registration and insurance. NJ MVC, you are bastards. Any way to make some money, huh?

Suddenly I feel like I'm in a WWI flick "do you have your papers?".

It's august and I've turned off the ac and opened the windows. Crazy.

Aimee, my mom probably loved teaching first grade the most. Congrats!

ita, hope your speculations are wrong and that you get your fall apart if needed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've used the A/C probably three times this summer. It is crazy.

I haven't had a truly sweaty housecleaning while blasting the ac yet this summer. Unheard of. I've run it fairly often because it keeps the humidity down when it's just warm but sticky ( there's still some desert child left in me) but it's not been a razor edge battle - I never even put in the second one.

It hasn't even been very humid here! It's practically chilly right now.

We have had fewer days above 90 than usual, admittedly.

I thought y'all would appreciate this:

In old age, Bacall raged against what she saw as the mediocrity of contemporary Hollywood, as represented by everything from the career of Tom Cruise to the Twilight movies that her granddaughter dragged her to see. “She said it was the greatest vampire film ever made,” Bacall recalled. “After the film was over, I wanted to smack her across the head with my shoe.”

Instead, Bacall bought the child a DVD of FW Murnau’s 1922 classic Nosferatu. “Now that’s a vampire film,” she told her sternly. >[link]

Yay Aims!

I'm sorry, ita. I know the feeling; you start thinking "when" instead of "if", and then they pull the rug out from under you.

So I saw my doctor today and like I expected, he didn't have anything to make the dizziness better, but he did sign me up with a physical therapist (in 2 weeks), who might be able to give me exercises to help my inner ear deal.

Since I don't want to wait that long, I'm googling images of "vestibular therapy" to find out what I can be doing.

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

Daniel, that's horrifying, but glad the news was good.
