Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Now BallotTrax Notifications is stalking me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's always "the options have changed" that gets me. Everyone's options have always changed! How is that possible?!? How has every single business always just changed their options?

At my office the options are still 1. Leave a message and 2. Don't leave a message but then bitch we never called you back. Lots of people are fans of 2.

Herding cats for fun

Spatchcock chicken + cast iron frying pan + hot oven = fantastic supper. I can DIY with poultry shears! So once this infernally hot weather finally ends I will want to do that again.

I love the word spatchcocked. I also love the result of doing one right, but the actual word is just the best. I think I only learned the word and the method within the last five years, maybe? So much lost opportunity.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I had never heard of spatchcocked before today.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Spatchcock is definitely one of those words that Tolkien would have loved.

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

Doesn't it sound like one of the smaller Hobbit villages? Spatchcock, over in Eastfarthing. Ol' Gammer's brother moved there round about 75 years ago.

Thrive to spite them

I made another futile attempt to get a mailing label from straight talk...who's phone tree doesn't have a main menu item for warranty/repair work it's buried under I think 2 sub menus as "other".

So I'm giving up on trying to get the phone sent to them.

My options are now:

wait until the warranty runs out at the end of December and try to use Walmart's protection plan but I won't be able to do any updates for anything because my memory is so low.

Buy the same phone again from straight talk now (it's cheaper now anyway) and then try to get the other phone fixed.

Go with a different pay as you go plan/phone or a different carrier. Spectrum has an unlimited plan & I could get a better phone for what I'm paying for straight talk unlimited. But I'd be paying for that phone for 2 years.

I spatchcocked a chicken and it was tasty but I didn't enjoy the actual breaking it down. But it was so good.
