Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Also, shrift, USF has a renter's resume template if that's helpful.

I guess, Kat. Weezer being in an ad is somehow stranger to me than, like, Push It.

So I got my water bill today. I hadn't thought to check my water usage: I used an average of 12 gallons per day over the last quarter. Which is ... very little. Wish I got a discount on my rates for that!

Well done!

Gah, I am having trouble winding down and going to sleep because I am all keyed up from finding an app that will link my pantry inventory with my recipes and meal plan and shopping list. WTH, self?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Renter's resume sounds onerous. Who thought that was a good idea?! Just meet the dang applicants in person.

It's a little difficult when 40+ people show up for an open house, I suspect...

shrift, it's worth looking into particular landlords. My niece got her apartment by finding a particular landlord/property manager that had a bunch of buildings, and just doing their application process: they didn't advertise publicly because they didn't want to get overwhelmed in the Craigslist madness. The down side is fewer apartments; the up side is way less competition inside a walled garden.

Renters. Resume. Good grief. That is a terrifying notion.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So this morning, I almost killed myself choking on a breakfast taco. Early morning keeps getting earlier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear.

Different "oh dear" for renters' resumes. Oh, another thing to have on hand is references -- current/past landlords' phone numbers.

I feel be ougoing to all the tacos of the world and demanding that they take an oath not to harm Dana would be reasonable.

I wanted to go on Deal or No Deal just so I could ask Howie WTF was with the ending of St. Elsewhere.

Apparently I kept thinking about this, because while I was brushing my teeth I decided that the ending of St. Elsewhere was like Puck's speech at the end of Midsummer Night's Dream.
