"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." That's the only Dickens I know, an embarrassing fact to admit for someone who was an English major for the first two years of college. Maybe I should sit down with the old fart and get acquainted. The sentiment just quotated certainly does describe pretty well how the past few months have gone...

Is that a sudden realization? I would tell you the same, except of course, I have no idea.

Nonetheless, you're groovy.

I got home from running some errands and immediately noticed a huge plume of heavy, acrid smoke blowing from the chimney of the friendly neighborhood meth house down the street, making me cough and my eyes water. I called the police non-emergency number, figuring the authorities would want to come take a look and try to catch the tweakers in the act of burning toxic...

I suppose that could be a reasonable conclusion.

I mean, you never thought to look in his basement window or something? What kind of neighbor are you?

Oh man, that sucks.

It is sad when you realize your tax dollars are going oh so far. *cough*

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate

I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
Thursday, never...

I guess the worst part about my cat is that she gets really sick... hiding under beds for days & not eating, drinking, peeing, etc & then she snaps out of it. This time just seems so much worse because of the ears going all purple & moving towards gangren possibly, & her tail is all cold & listless. She seems in pain, but too tired to complain. I don't know if it is one of her phases of illnesses or if she will really die this time... she definately has MORE then 9 lives.

It is really hard to go through this over & over, month after month, year after year. It is tiring.

But, it is like me... sick, then well, then sick... don't they say pets are really like their owners or something? Yeah, it is true.

I was saddened a few days ago to read that the British automotive journalist Leonard John Kensell Setright died on September 7.

Setright was a personal hero for me---a proud generalist in a sea of specialists. He was an exponent of an earlier generation of journalists, and people in general, for whom a broad education in the liberal arts was not just a prerequisite to...

Hi!!!!

I'm not only sick but also wallowing in self-pity! Who wants to join me?

Edit: OK, things are looking up just a little bit. I found a site with Cure ringtones that are compatible with my phone. Now I've got it playing "Homesick" for incoming calls, "Letter to Elise" for voicemail, and "Lullaby" for texts.

A question for all cocktail waitresses, bartending school dropouts, and drunkards out there: Is there already a name for a drink like a White Russian, but made with Frangelico instead of Kahlua? Or did I just invent something new and wonderful?

i think you should name it so that we can order it in a bar and then act put upon when the bartender doesn't know what it is. 'you mean you haven't heard of ____? Where did you get your certification, Friday's?

Good hike today. I'll get back in shape yet.

I love my new 5.11 Tactical Pants. So many pockets! I'm such a hopeless nerd.

I've got to put more effort into real life. I need to start working out again. Although I'm remarkably sane right now, this is the worst physical shape I've been in for a long time, and I forgot how bad my circulation can get when I don't get any exercise. It's nowhere near as cold as it's going to get in January and I'm already...

It was a cool class, but packed. Maybe 150 or more!

Tufte 4 will be titled Beautiful Evidence ; it's due out sometime within a year of now, and he's posted sample pages to the Ask ET forum over on his site, edwardtufte.com.
