Thankfully, too, life is good for other reasons. I have returned from Seattle spontaneously engaged to my friend Rafael<\/a><\/b>, which was a bit of a surprise, even though I was the one who proposed, (while under the influence of vast quantities of chocolate and a rather well timed foot-rub), especially as I’m still single, which seems both seamlessly appropriate and monumentally unfair. As I said to Frank<\/a> earlier, being a pair of only relatively nice Jewish children, we decided it would be the most fun if we continued with it enough to declare it three times in three days, which is sort of the Judaic networking equivalent to jumping over a broomstick, just to see what would happen. It’s not like we’re writing up a Ketubah or anything, (1. facebook 2. twitter. 3. livejournal), but as a social experiment goes, we’re rocking the house.

I approve of ladies on fire. The only drawback is that I am now almost completely pantsless. So – internet – where does a girl go to buy black pants in Vancouver? I haven’t the vaguest clue. <\/p>\n *SCIENCE!! is not actually real science, it is science with jazz hands.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Doctors confirm woman’s imaginary third arm.
