I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, what is your question? Did you want to know whether I made that top comment? Because I totally did.

Of course that was my question! Good one.

Took Devi to the vet this morning to have the Thing in her ear looked at. Luckily, it was the most benign of possibilities: a common type of earwax gland cyst. They don't go away on their own, but as long as it isn't bugging her or blocking the ear canal, no need to do anything (though if they ever do, laser removal !) Poor Devi had her ear stabbed to get at the stuff inside, but as soon as the vet got a sample, she said we didn't even need to send it to the lab. It was a thankfully cheap visit.

She's been pretty clingy all day-she's the only one of my cats traumatized by the vet, and boy howdy, is she! Telecommuted the rest of the day since I was expecting a package....which arrived while I was at the pool. Left it for me, though.

I have to say, the Anthony case was completely off my radar until very recently. That's one fucked up family, regardless of what actually happened.

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

Timelies all!

Still tired from the weekend. And I need to start cleaning in preparation for my parents visiting this coming weekend.

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

When my car insurance ends, does the company automatically renew it, or send me a form to renew it, or do I have to call them to tell them I want to renew it? I can't find anything on their website.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Mine automatically re-ups.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

They send me notice via email - I have GEICO.

I've got to renew my car registration, and that form asks for my car insurance number and when it expires, and the insurance expires in August and the insurance company hasn't contacted me about anything.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Mine re-ups automatically (Allstate) but I think that's because I have the payments automatically deducted from my checking account.

Otherwise I never remember to pay it in time.

I've got Progressive, and they'll email me my bill about 6 weeks beforehand, and then send me numerous reminders. If I don't renew by the required date, the policy expires and I have to call them to renew it.
