You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

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

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I would love to join Costco -- the amount of money we spend on pet food and cat litter alone is appalling -- but The Boy prefers to do all his shopping at the local, independently owned grocer, to support local merchants.

At least Costco has good pay and benefits for its employees and its political donations go to Democrats.

I'm not sure we have any local independent grocers, unless you count Your DeKalb Farmers Market, where I do a good deal of my food shopping.

bon bon, flickr has foregone Target and now you pick up at Walgreens or Walmart. Walgreens so far has been pretty good.

Soon there will be so much snow that it will form a glacier that will destroy the city.

You know, I bet that wasn't anyone's first guess on how DC would go.

Hell freezing over?

(And I love DC, but the summer heat and humidity is hellacious!)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

One of my best purchases at costco was a bag of microfiber cloths, $15 for 30. I rarely need to use paper towels or most cleansers anymore, since they clean everything pretty well, and just get thrown into the washer.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

A. I just had to aggressively plunge my clogged toilet.
B. It's not as bad as a snowpocalypsegeddon.
C. Why is it that when I actually have something work related to do on Facebook I immediately forget about it when I actually get to Facebook? I am an introvert! Facebook triggers my introversion! Really, why I am spending time over there?

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

One of my best purchases at costco was a bag of microfiber cloths, $15 for 30.

These also make great cloth diaper doublers.

I definitely love visiting DC. Every now and then I get to fly up for work.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Just got an email from TPTB that our annual 401(k) contribution from the company is going to be 3%, instead of the usual 6%. Not a huge surprise, considering the economy, and not the first time this has happened, but still...feh.

OH MAN. It's raining and I am sitting in a room of quiet kids working on this essay: "How do both 'A Rose for Emily' and 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' offer social critiques? How does each story also deliver a deeper message?"

It's really lovely when they are quiet.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't associate either of those stories with social critiques.

I'd fail this essay.
