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!)
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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?

These also make great cloth diaper doublers.

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

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Today we were allowed to wear team jerseys and no one told me! I could have been in my completely hideous Reggae Boyz soccer jersey. But I think it's a migraine trigger. Or I could have worn my cricket jersey, but then all the Indian guys would realise I supported a really sucky team.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Really? The grandmother in A Good Man is Hard to Find is a great example of someone who wants to appear like a "good Christian" despite not actually acting like one. Pretty salient these days.
