24 degrees here.
It was snowing on Thursday, and my new officemate, who's from Egypt, was so excited -- she's never seen snow before.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Our wings are not tired.
Very exciting, Liese. You've done a great job with the work in progress photos. Wow, CoO by next weekend. Shiny!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We're crossing our fingers. We've heard dates set before. But we're getting close regardless. Replacement countertop on Monday, propane appliances installed on Tuesday. Studio floor on Wednesday. Woodstove on Thursday. And that should be it.
I need to take a bunch more photos now, but we've got the floors all papered and taped up, so I kinda wanna wait until we can take final photos.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Gah. The police found pipe bombs in a man's apartment a block away from where I live: [link]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yay Liese! Boo Tom!
When is the Democratic primary in South Carolina? The primaries are going by so fast I can't keep track!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
When is the Democratic primary in South Carolina?
Next weekend, I think?

Not to be exploding the Scola, please.
Congratulations, Liese! Does it look like a Victorian Folly in the desert?
Matilda is 100% fussaboo this morning. And she's mostly over her cold too.
Reported warnings to Emmett to avoid kissing her goopy face were to no avail and we're now into the I-told-you-so portion of the weekend where he thinks he's got a cold.
Also I'm getting a cold sore and we have to completely rearrange the bedroom before this afternoon.

Perkins, perhaps a possible change in plants. Insent.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Consider the plants changed.
