You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Thanks folks for the anniversary wishes!

Back from our plans. Alas, the Nats lost in the 11th inning, and we were surrounded by obnoxious Phillies fans. Still was a fun time. Afterwards we went to Cava, a Greek mezze place for dinner. Yum...

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

OK, I managed to microwave and eat dinner. Next is shower, then bed. Or maybe nap first.

Glad to know I'm not the only person trying to be all organizey today.

I am part of Team Organizey today! I am writing descriptions and taking photos of the (seemingly never-ending) pile of clothes & boots that I'm going to sell. When am I going to learn that a UK size 12 is not the same as a US size 12?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I made a carrot cake for Lammas (bread's more traditional, but I'm not, and there's grain involved so it works out). And I got through my entire weekend household to-do list. Tomorrow a new list will magically morph into being, but that's life.

It's been unusually cool this weekend, so I've been able to keep the windows open pretty much all the time. It's great to not feel trapped in my own apartment by the weather.

I've got my windows open too! It got cooler outside than in, and drier, so open they go! Such a relief after these weeks of insano heat.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oo, Jilli, I just so happen to be a UK size 12. meep meep

mmm, Pandora is playing us "Werewolves of London." I love that song.

Huh. Just did the math, and in the past 3 days, I swam almost 6 miles. Almost 5.5 in 2 straight sessions, half mile in cooldowns.

I just went "swimming" today, but in my case that means playing in a pool with the kids, and maybe swimming across it a couple times or doing some pool exercises. I am in awe of your swimming mojo, sara.

I may be a little crazy, but I really benefit mentally from that time doing laps where I just tune out. I might think a little bit, but I'm pretty much focussed on keeping count and improving my strokes and kicks.
