Hurrrgh. I just had the unwelcome revelation that it's possible an ex of mine will be at the wedding I'm going to this weekend, and I won't magically lose 20 lbs by Friday.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I have to say, though, that the guy who said that he'd never read a book by any of the big best-selling authors (Tom Clancy, Stephen King, John Grisham, etc.) has NOTHING to be ashamed of.

except for the fact that he doesn't read at all....

actually I have many of those cultural blind spots.

DH was a 'kill your television' person. But I don't think he watched very much before me. I did convince him that TV was like any other form of entertainment - picking and choosing was the way to be. TV doesn't force you to watch it- becoming a tv zombie is a choice

I'd just like to note that it made it to Israel before it made it to me.

This is ridiculous.

Don't spoil me. I haven't read it, yet.

Well, I haven't read it, either, you know. I just got it last bight, and graded while trying to not call it "my precious" in front of my roommates.

I have almost all of those cultural blind spots. On top of that, I think I'm the only person I know in my age group who haven't seen "Dirty Dancing".

Or for some of us...a sad, sad, nay...pathetic...addiction.

Frankenbuddha,that's enough beating on yourself. there is a reason they call them accidents. No one was hurt, just your pride and possibly your pocketbook. Take this as a lesson and be greatful it wasn't harder.

Frank, please don't beat yourself up!

Isn't it statistically true that every driver has to have a certain amount of accidents involving his car? Isn't it better to "waste" one of the numbers in this statistics on an accident like this, when nobody got hurt, even the cars weren't damaged much, and the only damage may be money?

Or is it too early to try to Pollyanna-ish you and I should just shut my keyboard up?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think I'm the only person I know in my age group who haven't seen "Dirty Dancing".

Lucky you.

OK, I haven't seen it either. So maybe I shouldn't be critical of it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You'll still be awesome and living in Chicago, though.

Frank, those things happen, and it's impossible to completely escape them when you're driving a car. As accidents go, I'm glad no one was hurt, so don't beat yourself up about it.

Why is Livejournal not loading? How am I supposed to avoid working?

I've seen Dirty Dancing enough for all of you. Nobody puts Baby in the corner!
