Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Thrive to spite them

Kid Rock was on Dr. Phil today. I went over to Mom's and there's Kid Rock doing an acoustic version of Cowboy (he was playing a banjo). Evidentally Dr. Phil loves Kid Rock. He looked totally blown away and when Kid Rock said that he'd done this show because they'd promised him 40 free hours of counseling, without missing a beat Dr. Phil told him "I've followed your career since Detroit -- you're going to need way more than that."

Mom liked the song, which was also kind of weird, but I told her she probably wouldn't like his regular stuff.

What about Joe Louis's and Mae Wests? Where do they fit in to the filled/marshmallowed/chocolated pastry scheme?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I just got back from USC graduation. I think, in my search for the Intramural Field, that I wandered the entire campus. Didn't see Ali, though, even though I kept an eye out.

Then lunch at the Grove.

Does everyone think their family is crazy? Either fungood crazy, or batshit crazy? If they do, where are the sane people (other than me, naturally).

GREAT DAY OFF.

Here's my password secret: take a phrase or long word I like. Choose a punctuation mark. Toss it into the word somewhere. If, like work, I need to change regularly, also toss in a 0 somewhere, and increment it when demanded. Sometimes I move the digit around, but usually just back and forth from two or three positions.

Are those work passwords they're asking for? Not only would I happily lie to get coffee, I'd also consider that I have ten or so passwords at any given time (not counting voicemail (3)). What are they getting into, again?

I keep track with a PGP encrypted app on my PDA, but only for the rarely used ones.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

My family is crazy.

My mom just sent my catholic school uniform from high school, including blazer which she had cleaned.

I used to be a thin little thing because the jacket is super tight and the skirt is not even remotely zippable.

Yet I have an urge to figure out how to panel it so I could wear it again. though it's way higher than I remember.

Why would she send that?

Ah yes. The appeal of LJ and Natter in a nutshull. That should be our new slug line thingy.

Because she knew you'd try it on and try to figure out a way to wear it?
