Note to Self:
Somehow, I need to make sure I can name my next story “The Cold Mile.” Alex and I came up with that today after he bought an iced coffee in roughly 30 degree weather.
This is more for myself than anyone else

Santa and the Easter Bunny.
I think I need to remove Texts from Last Night from my google reader feed. It might be slowly convincing me that love isn’t real.
Example:
(419): I made him tell me how he proposed to his wife before I’d bang him. I have a problem.
Other possibility: I am taking it too seriously. More likely, but still…
I’ve never been so disappointed by my hometown paper! Bad, bad Union Leader!
A co-worker and I playing a Bright Eyes parody at my boyfriend’s going away party. No my most spectacular performance, but it did get some laughs.

Well This Is Something You Don’t See Every Day of the Day: Helen Palmer Geisel would be proud: Angler Raphael Biagini bagged this massive 30lb goldfish — actually, an orange koi carp if you want to get all technical — while on a fishing trip in France.
From the Daily Mail:
It took Raphael Biagini ten minutes to reel the creature out of a lake in the south of France - moments after fellow anglers told him they had spent six years trying to snare the legendary ‘giant goldfish’.
Mr Biagini, pictured, said: ‘To begin with, we couldn’t tell what was at the end of the line, but we knew it was big.
‘The fish was a good fighter, but not enough to win.’
Following a quick prize shot, Biagini kindly returned the once-in-a-lifetime catch to the water.
