I still can’t believe it, but this is apparently a real phenomenon (though I ridiculed Janet about it earlier) that I may experience for the first time tomorrow. Three cheers for DC’s massive snowstorm. Or as they’ll call it years down the line, the Health Care Blizzard of 09’.

Hehe, that’s pretty funny. Few people are afforded the opportunity to quit their job to get their personal life in order. For us normal folk, we have to do all of this at the same time. Its like being rich and famous also makes you sad and pathetic.
True. Sad and pathetic, but with $s.
Why is the mascot for the 2010 Commonwealth Games...
Shera embodies values that the nation is proud of: majesty, power, charisma, intelligence and grace. His athletic prowess, courage and speed on the field are legendary. He is also a reminder of the fragile environment he lives in and our responsibility towards the protection of his ecosystem.

Via New York Mag:

Then the project was delayed by lawsuits filed on behalf of a group of rabble-rousing locals who meet in a dive bar. Then a bunch of complicated bets based on bogus mortgages given to random people in...

I’m a writer, think about it. If it weren’t for the fact that I was so stubborn, God knows if I ever would have finished any of these books. I write so slowly. For me, what I would be doing if I wasn’t a writer is never far [from my mind]. Knowing me, I would probably be a lawyer.
