Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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

Oh, wow, that sounds incredible!

Also, 6 miles/day sounds like a lot to me.

That sounds super cool!

Has anyone here been to Chile? (Santiago and northern) My friend and I are going in March (sadly this means no Mexico trip this year!!) and we are trying to figure out what we want to do and how long to spend in different parts, etc. (northern half only--we are going to the atacama desert, and would love to have time to ALSO do Patagonia etc but just can't).

Because books.

The trip looks like it was fantastic, Zen. Totally a well-deserved way to end the year.

I'd love to start my own company. Freelance Editing and Design, Inc. Is there room for a band of roaming editors and other freelancers that's got together and incorporated for the group benefits and a company accountant?

Please to accept my application, as well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The problem with starting a company is that then you have to deal with clients and employees, and when you dislike people, that's a problem.

The Globe tour sounds awesome!

I had my annual physical today, which generally went well. The nurse was apparently trying to get blood to squirt out of my fingertips with the BP cuff, so my doctor redid it and got a much more reasonable 124/78 reading. Also got a diagnosis of mild tendonitis in my left Achilles tendon that should fade as I continue to lose weight, which was what I expected.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Has anyone here been to Chile?

I think Vortex is there right now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds/looks like a great trip, Zenkitty! Jealous.

Pretty sure Kat P is who you want on Chile.


meara - Jan 08, 2016 6:48:34 am PST #13060 of 30003

Oh! Right! How did I forget that about Kat?? Will hit her up.

Vortex IS in Chile right now, but mostly visiting her brother, apparently.

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

down to mixing (I think) goat hair in with the plaster.

Yes, goat hair! It makes the plaster mixture adhere better to the wall (she said). They shaved goats for this plaster.

My friend and traveling companion Katie ganked my SD chip while I was sleeping, copied my photos, and uploaded her photos onto it, so now we both have both my photos and hers. So I'm uploading over 1000 photos to Flickr. I'll sort them out when they get there. Flickr hates me.

Ugh, exactly.

Count me in!

Yes, but not insurmountable!
