I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

On a slightly related note, did everyone catch the amazing "Please stay, Mr Hannity" PSA that Jon Stewart did Monday night after Sean Hannity threatened a classic internet flounce over Gov Cuomo's "Hard-core conservatives don't belong in New York" comments?

I just saw this, AIWFG

Me too, omg. Nathan Lane! The cast of Jersey Boys! (I assume?) All those kids on the street! So awesome.

Wow, I"m impressed you managed to grab those things AND go knock on peoples' doors! I probably would've gotten distracted trying to find shoes and keys and would've like, left my wallet sitting there or something, much less vital docs!

After not one but two fires in high school (at school) I got very used to (a) believing fire alarms and (b) grabbing my stuff when leaving. But I think a couple years of drunk asses pulling fire alarms in college trained it right back out of me.

What I read recently was that NYTimes article about how in many modern high rises it's safer to shelter in place, if there's a fire, rather than trying to take the stairs (which may fill with smoke--recent fire a couple guys died that way, whereas people who stayed in their apartments were fine). But that's so against instinct, man. And how do you know when it's bad enough you should try to leave vs not? Just makes me never want to live on the 30th floor of anywhere, I guess?

Oh, I *so* wanted to spend my day off doing all the laundry since Casper pulled what I think is a louse off her head this morning.

No idea, Tom.

Flea, that's awful. Ick. I hope it was not, and was a random other bug, a kind that does not infest anyone or anything.

I hate being awake early for meetings, especially after I went out late the night before. I know that's my own fault, but...ugh.

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

Of course you do. It's Pat Kiernan. And it's just $5.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The eye appointment went well - I'm somewhat at risk for MD, but nothing is actually degenerating. That was good news to start off my birthday.

Yay, eyes!

And it's snowing in Utah. This should not be a news story, but there you are. Big, fat, fluffy flakes, pulling the gunk out of the air.
