Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Brain in a jar + robot body, OTOH, I could get behind.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Plus, I could have flamethrowers for hands if I wanted to.

Truly, it will be a golden age.

I always thought I'd be dead before I was 30 and I lived my life accordingly. It's weird to think that it's totally conceivable that I will outlive or be outlived by lots of the people who love me.

I worry that I'll grow into an old person who Never Gets Out because I'm already a quasi-young person who never gets out.

flamethrowers for hands is a nice touch. I want jet pack legs.

One or the other is a pretty sure bet....

I've always wanted those swords that shoot out from your sleeves, but if you're already a robot, I guess it's not that cool anymore.

Yeah, I know. It's hard for me to imagine that I would outlive anyone cause I was so convinced that I would die young.

Random change of topic.

Scholastic is having their giant 50% of warehouse sales starting on May 13.

Restoration Hardware is also having their warehouse sale on that weekend.

It's almost like I can't resist!

What is even happening?

I can't wrap my head around that, Cindy.

I don't see anything in the Bible that stipulates that some homo sapiens couldn't have evolved from other primates. I simply see that an Adam and Eve were created (from scratch). That doesn't mean that earlier species (also created by God, from my POV) couldn't have also evolved into what we'd recognize as homo sapiens from the fossil record.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It sucks watching my grandmother bury all of her friends and family.

This. One of the saddest parts of settling up my grandfather's affairs on Friday was when my mom and her sister and his whatchamacallit-not-strictly-legal-widow conferred about who needed to be contacted, and realized that aside from business acquaintances there was only one person to call. And he wasn't any kind of recluse: he was a gregarious, expansive extrovert with a huge circle of friends, and he'd outlived all but one of them.
