This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sondheim also has a lovely musical about the West forcing Japan open to trade in the 19th century.

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

Why It’s So Hard to Get Great Bagels in California

I'd go see that.

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

The train is now 40 minutes late. If we're still here in 20 minutes the train behind us will catch up to us.

I think I want someone to high five me every time I accomplish a task and then give me a gold star, and after I reach a certain number of gold stars, that person should bring me a cupcake or some curly fries for a job well done.

I'm stuck in a broken-down train.

Boo. Are you on the Metra?

That does seem excessive. Not sure why you'd need more on an apartment than I have on my house. Are you solely responsible if the building falls on someone?

I suppose damage to other units from a home meth lab might fall under liability insurance, but if you're not looking to Walter White as a career idol it seems like half a million is a bit beyond adequate coverage.

Yep. We're stuck at the Hubbard Woods stop, near Winetka.

Ugh. I though they got the engine started but I guess not.

Yeah, insurance is one of those things that makes me crazy--I have no idea how much I need but feel like insurance agents and companies aren't to be trusted either, even if they more likely know! Have that issue with auto insurance too--like, if someone is paralyzed for life and sues me , wouldn't I need tons of insurance??

Am amused by the musical titles. :)

Ok, they had us all get off the train so we can get on the next train.

So the good news is I won't have to resort to canibalism.
