Because I surely do. I mean, it’s the kind of place where my doctor’s office is, literally, across the street from this: Actual unretouched photo It does make for something of a surreal life sometimes.

It’s not quite 4:30am, and I’ve just spent 15 minutes standing in the freezing cold, but it was all totally worth it to see the last night shuttle launch. So crystal clear outside, I could track the two solid rocket boosters as they fell back to earth. My god. *cries*

At least, according to GRRM’s happy little folk, but by Florida standards, it’s here and pissed off, apparently. We’re looking at a 5-day stretch of highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s.

So yet another “role model” has fallen because he couldn’t keep it in his pants. Yawn. I could not give less of a crap about who Tiger Woods does or doesn’t sleep with if I ate nothing but cheese every day for a month. What I do care about is having actual news co-opted to [...]

I hope the rest of you are enjoying a nice crisp fall. I’ve just spent 45 minutes in the already-sweltering heat and humidity making three trips to the dumpster. At 8:18 in the morning, it’s already 81F and the humidity is 96%. We’ve shattered 3 heat records this week, and this October may go down [...]

In other news, the next-door neighbors from hell had a screaming fight right outside my front door last night. The upshot is, they’re moving too! I really, really hope it’s not to the same place I’m going. And I got so many chores + packing done yesterday, I reek of righteousness. If I can keep [...]
