I have nothing of interest to say. It’s been rough ’round the homestead of late and I was pretty close to just saying fuck it all and running away from home and coming to live with you guys instead (if you are wondering “Does she mean me?” the answer is a big fat “YES” because…
an aside…
So, one of the days I was in KL, laineyd.com hit a new record for highest number of hits in a single day, beating the previous record on July 22 (I remember the date only because it’s Don Henley’s birthday and who can forget that? It’s like how my anniversary is the same as Bastille…

(Actually, I bet that security would have really wrestled me to the ground if I was packing baked goods……

A break in a local Malaysian coffeehouse…

(For the record, it was impossible to get a picture of both towers from ground level, so my pictures of both towers are actually taken from our hotel room window in KL)
