FTR, Frontline started out OMG! but seems to be winding up Allyson's lesson.

-t, thanks. I don't really need the reassurance, it's just sobering to discover your own emotional judgments, and realize they don't line up with your idealistic/philosophical whatevers, you know?

I too am sort of dumbstruck by the Heath Ledger news. I'm also surprised that they reported the address and apartment number.

Yes, I do. Not something I ever like facing, but there it is, sometimes.

Maybe the tide is turning.

I don't think a visceral response to death is required, per se, but it's perfectly understandable when it happens.

I just put in two loads of laundry, ignoring the four or more loads that'll just have to wait until another day.

I spent my weekend petsitting and doing my laundry. Lots of laundry - 5 loads of clothing, a load of towels, two different loads of bedding.

And I have STILL more. This is build up for the year or two that my apartment building machines weren't working and I fell into the habit of doing everything by hand. . . and just hanging stuff up in the bathroom to dry and obviously, this is NOT a very effective way to do laundry.

If the tide does turn, Ima give credit to Allyson.

I laundered. I even folded and put away the clothes. I even matched the socks. Fear me. I am the very paragon of domesticity.

Or something like that. I might even go finish the dishes now. And then I might rewatch Torchwood and fold letters. Whoo, productivity.

Of course, all this productivity is just packing-avoidance. But it has to be done before I can pack. Really.

Nah, visceral isn't really important. I was just rather surprised I had one here, given my distance from the relative. I like to think of myself of logically consistent. Which is total bs, by the way (as day 3 or 4 of the fucking hormone storm . The damn predictive zit shows and I completely lose my rationality and most of my mind. Hey, at least I have a warning sign, right? But it isn't a sign today!) But I like to think.

Frontline just made me write them a letter. Oy. May it bring Allyson more sales.

what happened the what now?

16 of the Most Creative (and/or Sexy) Hotel Rooms in the World: From Upside-Down to Local Urban Art

I wonder if one could actually sleep in the bed on the ceiling in the upside-down room. That would be fun to wake up in.

This one's cool:

Prefer something less kitchy and more romantic? Perhaps the mirror room of the same hotel is for you. Mirrors are typically considered an erotic addition to a hotel room but this example carries the principle to the extreme with wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling mirrors spanning the diamond-shaped space.

Or the room with two cages....

Laundry is my nemesis. I'd like my own place at times simply for my own washer & dryer, damnit.

Allyson, go back and read my confusing sorta-judgy meanderings this evening if that was your whatwhonow query.

Hee.

I'd LOVE if a Frontline letter got you more readers, no matter who brought them.
