See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

meara, considering my experience lately, I would like to avoid O'Hare as much as possible now that it's not my home airport. I also want to avoid flying United, because they have mechanical issues the majority of the time when I fly with them. What the hell is wrong with their maintenance schedule?!

Aurelia, good thoughts for your mom!

Go you with the decluttering, amyth!

Last night, I was driven mad by a clockwork sound. I got out of bed and put my ear to every device that possibly could be making the noise, but they were all silent. Eventually I traced the noise to the living room. The Christmas tree light timer is plugged into the electrical socket on the opposite side of the bedroom wall.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Shrift, I know it's a little out of your way for Kalamazoo, but on the whole I've had a not-terrible time going through Detroit. Of course, I'm flying there this Friday, and now that I've jinxed things, I fully expect it to make a liar out of me. Still, I've generally gotten in and out with minimal delays as often than not. And from what I've heard about O'Hare, a 50% OK-ish rating would be an improvement.

Amyth, I can't wait to see your revamped digs!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Can you come and stay with me in FL for a week or two and help me purge? I really have to do something about all my stuff stuck in storage and closets.

Laura, I would love to! I am really into this decluttering thing now that I've started. It's a great feeling. Also, I'd love to see you!

Also, I was texting with my niece yesterday (she lives in Pembroke Pines) and she and her new husband just bought a house, just got a dog, etc., and I miss her so much. I went to her wedding in March, but before that, I hadn't made it down to South Florida in years. I'd really like to see more of her.

Amyth, I can't wait to see your revamped digs!

I can't wait for you to as well! Right now, it's still chaos, because I need to put books back on shelves, put away clothes, etc. But I plan to be almost done before I leave for NY!

It's so funny. I almost never have trouble with United or O'Hare. I'm not connecting through there, which is a huge difference of course, but my flights in and out are rarely delayed or have issues. Knock wood, since it is my home airport and preferred airline for work.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think my worst theatre experience was a Romeo & Juliet production at my alma mater where a former friend I was having a huge rift with performed the role of Mercutio in Shatner-esque staccato. The combination made me wish I'd thought to bring a Molotov cocktail.

Our wings are not tired.

Laura, I would love to!

Anytime! Pembroke Pines is not far at all. 45 min in traffic. My schedule is super flexible. Profile address is good for making a plan.

Ooh! I would like to hire Amy for decluttering here in New Orleans. How do I get on that list?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Today is one of those days when Tumblr is exhausting, not to mention the whole rest of the internet. I'm just lying here, hate-watching HGTV.
