I'm not worried.

Sometimes, when we want someone back so badly we do things we know are wrong to get them to return. Are you sure this isn't Pet Semetary Atticus we're dealing with here?

I get the humor potential of calling Atticus "undead," but I wonder- and Flower will have to he final judge- if we make "zombie-seeming" something we insult mightn't we be driving away entire groups of potential newbers? Like, EMO guys will be coming out of law school soon. Do we want them all to feel unwanted?

The book that won him the Pulitzer is good (A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain) but I have to say that the novels that I read subsequently were utter crap.

And while the email is undoubtedly well written, it is also bizarre and lurid.

On the woman who heads up the audit team for our retirement plans.

I don't usually have girl crushes, so I thought this counted as, like, news. I do not want to fuck her, though.

Make out a little, maybe? Maybe even FMF? You wouldn't have to chew box (unless, you know, you wanted to, or something).

Maybe it is not a girl crush. I want to be her, not do her. Does that have a name?

She makes me want to be a better person. *sniff*

I'm sure a better person would make out with her.

I think she is dating someone currently resident in your fair (or cloudy) city!

This site rates your neighborhood for walkability: http://www.walkscore.com/

My apartment gets a 94 out of 100. Maybe that's why I walk in LA.

I got a 92, but its data on grocery stores by me is out of date. So I think it should be lower.

Damn that Ralph's for closing! Damn them!!!!!

Sunny and 90s here today. I'm watching a couple of meatheads showing off on jetskis in the river outside my office. Either they are really good at making sure no water gets in their mouths (or other orifices), or they don't pay any attention to the raw sewage that periodically finds its way into the Willamette.
