And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I don't like bleu cheese myself, but I like those. They just taste really cheesy, in a good way. My god, those things are good. I can happily go through an entire bag in a sitting.

What with the insanity and all, I went ahead and ordered two boxes of raspberries this time. I really do hope I remember to eat these, as otherwise I think I just won't be allowed to have produce.

Oh! I have been eating Reubens for a couple days now. And it's... well, you can imagine.

Blarg. Going to be doing laundry all afternoon, cause only one washer was available. I'd hoped it would only take the usual 90 minutes and I could get out to do some shopping but noooo.

At least I got the apartment cleaned this morning.

Eating strawberry shortcake for lunch.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have Vampire People in my hot, little hands! I'll resurface only to squee.

I have recently purchased Gouda cheese in my fridge. clearly I must go eat it now, if only to save myself in the future.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, put the a/c in. I mean, it's Sunday — what better day to pray that it doesn't fall out?

Heh. I did go to Home Depot and bought a bracket, but I got overwhelmed by all of the electric drill options, and now I'm not sure I'll actually be able to install the damn thing. I'll work it out, because god knows I want to sleep in A/C tonight!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I emailed the president of my co-op board and asked her what the rules were on installing air-conditioners, but until she gets back to me we've just got it set in the window. Looking at some of the other A/Cs in the building, it doesn't look like anyone has them *installed* as such, so I think we'll be fine. (And if/when she tells me differently, we'll take it out and put it back in properly. Until then, I think she'll understand that a week of 90+ degree weather and a newborn baby call for drastic measures!)

I've just been paranoid recently, not sure why. I've never installed the air conditioner before! And I already opened the stupid bracket thing, so I'll give it a shot.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Alas, like Doo Dads, they are no longer made. I suspect the Keebler elves put a curse on Nabisco execs to make them stop production on their tastiest snacks.

Nonsense, they were just superceded by the best snack cracker evah! That would be Better Cheddars.

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

I went to Barnes and Noble in Georgetown and got a copy of Vampire People. Read the first few chapters, and squeeing a lot. (And having a bit of a "Eeek! My idiotic typo was preserved for eternity!" in the Random Acts of Paypal chapter.) (I never think anyone else's typos are stupid. My own, though, are clearly proof that I am not yet fit to interact via text.)
