You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Our wings are not tired.

I found Parc Guell easy to get to on the bus and it was one of the best things I've ever seen. So.

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

Pix, I'm loving your account of your trip! I'm glad you're having such a wonderful time!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yeah, I think I've mentioned before that a friend and I bought food at a farmer's market nearby (bread, cheese, lychees) and had a picnic lunch there, and that was one of my favorite experiences there.

Compassionately intolerant

Sophia, it was good of you to be there for your neighbor, even beyond your comfort zone. I'm sure your neighbor appreciated your kindness.

So, when was the next Onerous Task Day? Can I claim today as mine?

Go Jilli go!! I think I'm going to claim it as mine, too. I called United about my COBRA issue (still not resolved), did more budgety stuff (so not fun, so freaking the fuck out), sent my resume out to three contacts, applied for a carpentry job from CL, did All The Dishes, activated my new debit card and read up on my new credit union, took Frankie on two good walks, found receipts so I can return things to Walmart and Petco, and finished using Restor-a-Finish on a bookshelf. I also did *not* buy cigarettes or go out for dinner, though sorely tempted. I am posting all that because I'm feeling very cranky about being broke and unemployed, and need to remind myself that I *am* being productive, if not gainfully employed.

If I weren't carefully having to budget due to cat emergencies, and you know, you weren't in your favorite city, I'd have you see if you could do some work on my porch. Hmph.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I am attempting somewhat experimental lavender biscuits. Wish me luck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's hilarious is, I was just thinking, "How does someone move someplace without a job?" when I remembered I've done it every single time I've relocated! Hee. It does work out.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The little chocolate Han Solos put it over the top.

Oh my god, I wish that were real.

I would totally buy that. Right now, possibly.

I'd have you see if you could do some work on my porch.

Aw. Thanks for the thought.

It does work out.

I'm largely pissed at myself for not saving more/paying down my cc's when I had the chance. Hello, was talking about leaving NC for, like, seven years before I did it. That would have given me much more of a safety cushion to play with.
