I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It was 80 yesterday. It's currently 46, and tonight it will be 29. And tomorrow, freezing rain!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I wouldn't mind the Signal Blue or the Moss Green.

Those are both excellent choices! I considered the Signal Blue myself, but thought "Nah, you're spending pretend money, get what you really want".

sj, I like both of those!

ND, I am using Google Reminders for things like "Hey, go change the sheets", so from here you're doing okay.

Laura, may something good come from that. And happy birthday!

Dana's weather is broken.

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

You know, I remember reading once that from the point of view of statistical analysis, the most accurate weather forecasting model was just saying that tomorrow will be like today. I wonder if that's still true.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Brrr, Dana! 47 here, which we are absolutely not used to, and the rest of this week has predicted lows in the 30s. My whole body is shriveling at the thought of it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

It's been such a cold winter here that when it's in the high 30s I've been going without a coat and been joking with strangers about how balmy the weather is.

Which is not me saying you shouldn't be cold. It's all relative to what we're used to. I am sick of it being 16 when I drive ltc to school in the morning.

I tried to light my fireplace because it’s surprisingly cold in here, but apparently at some point I turned off the pilot light (I’m not sure when—it’s usually overly warm in here, rather than cold, so I rarely use it) and I don’t know how to turn it back on! Oops. I need a handyperson

I started work an hour and a half early because I told my coworker I'd be available in case she had problems (and good thing, too, because she had a problem) and quit half an hour late because I just had a lot to do, basically, but now it's taco time!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I love this smeg fridge in yellow or blue [link]

OMG you can get a Union Jack fridge!

Fireman pole!

Actually with all her years of aerial, Matilda is an expert rope climber. Her gym teacher in Middle School would have her teach the others the proper technique.
