My lips are so chapped it looks like I’m wearing lipstick.

Dear Heat in My Apartment/Car/Office,

You are killing me here. I can’t wait for warm weather to come and for you to eff off.

Sincerely annoyed,
Jenny

A matte finish, for sure, in the shade of, oh, let’s say Withered Peony.
Or perhaps Dried Crushed Then Dried Again Rose.

No heat in my apartment. Going insane.
3 Jeff 2.29.2008 at 9:16 pm: I bear witness to CF’s assertion that she has no heat. I tried to fix it and realized once again that my meager skill set includes being able to: write newspaper and magazine articles and columns; dine on all-I-can-eat sushi until my belly visually becomes distended; drive a stick shift; read a GPS; overuse colons and semicolons; and quickly and completely immerse myself in geek shows like Numb3rs and MonsterQuest.

I do not have clown mouth, but my nose has that tiny and painful crack at the edge of a nostril that would drive a lesser man insane.

But then again, how would be able to tell?
