These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I didn't get the list yet either.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I got both lists. Will probably not pack a swimsuit, since I'm not staying at the hotel.

move out and draw fire

There are people who don't make packing lists? How do they know what to pack?

Because I have to pack so often I can do it in my sleep, and in under 15 minutes.

Also, there were cicadas flying outside my office window today, but they were having trouble and I'm only on the 4th floor, so the penthouse should be safe.

(I squished a cicada in my car door today; I still feel all ooky)

It's hot and sticky here, peeps; it doesn't really cool off at night, and during the day you sweat slowly and continuously like an aged cheese. Those ricepaper face blotters are crucial.

Aimee, I may take you up on ROTK; I suspect exhaustion will be setting in by Friday night.

Teppy, I'll hang out with you on Sunday. I'm sure we can scrape together some localistas and get in a couple more touristy things. Or just go out for pancakes.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I'll be around all day Sunday too, FWIW. I know I'm staying at the hotel Saturday night and with Anne on Sunday night, so my only concrete plan for Sunday is to somehow get back to Anne's at some point.

t off to make my packing list

Our wings are not tired.

I was going to ask about a pool. Excellent.

My packing spreadsheet is extensive with categories for going to relatives where I don't bother to bring toiletries, camping, with kids, without. I love my packing list.

No email here yet either Vortex. We must be the B list.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I didn't get the Vortex mail yet either. But I had that problem last week, too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

You have a packing spreadsheet?

I think the only times I've made packing lists have been when I'm packing for being away for a few months, and even then, I remember things while I'm packing that I forgot to put on the list.

Up with the sun

I don't make packing lists.

Anne, my email was just to say that P. and I want to come to the BBQ. Could you email us directions? I'm also sending a message to your work and home accounts.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Laura, last year you were kind enough to bring maternity swim suits for Burrell. I'm not big enough to require one as yet, but my big ass ain't fitting into the one from last year. Any way you still have them and could maybe bring one to lend me?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I don't make lists either. When I said I had lists, I meant the phone number contact things Vortex sent.

Summer, I pack a shitload of small stretchy tanks, one or two longer sleeved lycra jobs for air conditioned spaces, and some trousers, usually a mix of yoga, jeans and leather. Undies, toiletry kit, shoes and a book.

I've been travelling so many years that all I need to know is how long, what climate, and whether I need formal.
