Happy Isaac's birthday, Burrell!
I woke up way too early. Feh.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy Birthday, Isaac!
The evening librarians often use my office... which means they use my computer, my chair, my pens, my kleenex, etc. all of which are adjusted, missing, and/or used up regularly when I come in. Today someone has adjusted the contrast/color on the computer screen and I can't seem to get it back to a comfortable display for my eyes. This makes me very, very grumpy.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Birthday, Isaac!

What is even happening?
Happy Birthday, Isaac!
I'm surprised I'm surprised by this take on the Alec Baldwin recordings. Or perhaps I'm from topsy turvy town. Because I'd spank my child before calling them a "rude, thoughtless little pig." More realistically, my mother who has a talent for verbal evisceration would never do that. Not to her kids. Not without feeling it was done out of nothing but anger--and her intention when spanking was to never act out of pure anger.
Yeah. Our mothers sound similar, although my mother would get ranty (and sometimes loud), but she was never mean when she got ranty. It was more that she'd be telling me off for something I did, go into another room, and come back five minutes later with an, "And another thing..." sort of addition, and that was mostly when I was older.
The "pig" thing is what left me feeling the worst about Baldwin's tirade (well that, and that he didn't know his child's age). My mother spanked me sometimes (although not by the time I was the Baldwin kid's age), but never in an abusive way. I don't think she ever called me a name, and I don't think my grandmother ever called her children names, but I know she spanked her kids (although my mother was the baby and got off easy).

It's freaky, but she mentioned good for commuting.
OK, I'm going with freaky for that. But then, it's rare I'll even attempt to take off my coat while driving, much less change clothes.
Do tulips close up when there is no sun?

sara, I don't think they close when there is no sun.
But I'm totally open to being very wrong on that.
The funny thing about the lack of power, and the poor sound proofing of my 1920s house is that when the power went out, I could hear the neighbors outside (the ones who planted corn in their front yard) groan and talk about it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tulips are very sun-seeking, which is why I don't buy them any more. They'd all end up flopped over the lip of the vase trying to reach the window. Which, in my living room, good luck with it. It's dark in there and I like it.
No idea if they'll close, though.
