Having looked on CL to see what I can afford to rent in the East Bay on $400, I sympathize with this recent grad in Beijing who built himself an egg-shaped temp shelter out of bamboo and burlap. [link]
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I would like to go on the record that I loathe AT&T with the heat of 10,000 suns.
Get in line. I've been swearing that I wouldn't piss on AT&T if it was on fire since at least 1992.

My house smells of chocolate, dulce de leche and cinnamon and such. Mmmm. I think I need to work to make them prettier, though.

Mmm, sarameg. Yum. I'm glad you feel better.
Spidra, that's an awful shock about the bill. I hope you get it resolved soon.
I had a French dip and it was OMG so good. I am on the Standing All Day/Not Eating Except for Snatched Bites diet and exercise plan. Woo, I know my thighs will be more toned by Xmas! But I can tell my kness are getting OLD.

Cookies: goddamn, they're rich. I tried 4 using coconut cream, but they were a disappointment. The cookie needs something equally as substantial to hold up against the chocolate/cinnamon/cayenne, and the coconut is (shockingly) too delicate. Dulce de leche really makes the cookie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, that sounds good.

And what's with all the carrots?
It puts my instant jell-o chocolate pie to shame.

Photo proof: [link] I sliced an odd number so I did an open face one. Might do more, if the balance is right (can't eat another tonight. 2 were enough!)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Those menorahs that have eight candles with only one lit aren't first-night menorahs, they're eighth-night ones that haven't been totally lit yet. First night should have one candle in the middle, one candle at the end, and all the other candle holders empty.
