The story of a sad New Yorker in LA, trying to find a taste of home.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

I know The Guy from Arkansas Who Ordered Delivery BBQ Ribs in Milwaukee turned out to be a horror story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I've seen that. A movie by the South Park guys?
Oh yeah, that is what it is.
My mother should have gone the "let's not get insurance involved" route, because after three fender benders in two years, her insurance got canceled. Oops.

Congrats, Sheryl and Gary.
We are in St. George, UT, on our way home from a week long trip to Idaho. I will be thrilled to be home soon. Until then, I'm hiding from the 101 degree heat. In Idaho Falls this AM, it was in the 50s and rainy. WHAT?
shrift, did you find a new place?

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 thought your company did that. I'm so disillusioned.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The inside scoop on all the perks Google does not, in fact, offer its employees is kind of a bummer. No IV caffeine for the commute; no high-fives and curly fries incentive program. Sad, really.

I did, Kat! I signed a lease on a 1-bedroom in Inner Sunset.

I can get the high fives and stickers. I have yet to experience a curly fries cart. Things that I have been offered on a cart: beer, donuts, popsicles, ice cream sundaes, appetizers.

Yup, sounds typical. If you're going to be in town tomorrow, you can celebrate Pioneer Day.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh so tired and frustrated. Trying to get the living room ceiling primed, and the two buckets of primer I thought we had are actually one bucket that had been previously opened and has now thickened to the consistency of glue. I got about a quarter of the ceiling primed before it got too thick to spread at all. Also, everything up near the ceiling is caked in cobwebs and dust and nastiness. I just want to curl up in a ball and suck my thumb, but that is of course not an option.
