We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I went to the library, picked up my new suit, and bought a wedding card. Now I am tired. I have had too many stairs in my day already. Luckily I don't have to do anything before this party except get ready for it.

Halloween amusement of the day so far: Woman in skimpy gladiator costume, walking with friend in corduroys and a jacket. The cords were brown, and her hair seemed to have a green tinge to it, so I'm guess some kind of tree costume, but she basically just looked fully-clothed.

Please, people make jokes all the time about drop-kicking small dogs, or wishing they'd die. I don't think it's funny. I don't care if the dog's happy or not. I don't care if the people can't take care of it. It's not funny, it upsets me, and I wish you guys wouldn't do it.

I hear you, Dana.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It was hyperbole; I don't usually mind barking dogs -- dogs bark, lizards hiss, ok -- but this is the SHRILLEST, MOST CONTINUOUS barking I have ever heard. And it's next door.

What I perhaps should have said, upon waking from listening to this dog yap since 6 am, for the third or fourth day in a row, to my much beloved kitty peeing on my leg, to which I responded with a gritting of teeth and muttered curses and no animal harm, because I don't do that, before I had any coffee, is that I wish that fucking yappy dog would shut the fucking fuck up.

I do not wish it, or any other dog, harm. We don't even have eagles in my hood. I just want it quiet(er).

I am sorry if this upset you; I never imagined it would, and I won't do it again. I didn't think I needed to police clear hyperbole so much.

I am, perhaps, a touch too cranky this morning.

msbelle, I hope Mac chills out, and comes back and you can clean your house and have a pleasant day.

Good luck with mac, msbelle.

Jesse, what ever happened with you and the custom suit?

Phew, msbelle.

Jesse, what ever happened with you and the custom suit?

That's what I picked up today! I am in love with the pink lining in the jacket, I tell you what. But I have a Big Meeting this week, and I think I won't wear it, because I think I feel more power in my second-interview skirt suit, as opposed to these pants. Which do fit like a dream.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Jesse, I was assuming the suit you picked up was for your Wonder Woman costume! I have Halloween on the brain.

Oh, no. For the costume I'm wearing an older skirt suit. I have many suits!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. You make up for me. I have no suits!

I am glad mac is back and chores are done. I am productivity fail so far this morning. But I am kicking in now! See you in a few minutes when I declare all laundry is from the devil.

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

Dang, Jon Stewart just made me cry. Wish I was there.

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

Ugh msbelle, the no-win is no good. I hope mac calms down and comes back in soon.
