We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Is it any wonder I'm completely warped?

Well, you're not going to get a normal one at those prices...

(Of course, by that logic, your kids are going to be freaking angels all. the. time. )

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My family never treated birth costs as an issue. Death, on the other hand, is fair game. After insurance paid up for my father's final hospital visit, the bill came to $700 something. My sister put it on his Discover card. And then she cracked a joke about it.

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

Did I mention today was weird? Well, at least it's going to end soon. Sooner, if I actually stop poking around my referer logs and go to sleep.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You did.

You were right both times.

I poked around, and just bumped into this. What a completely stupid picture. I mean, do people who think she's pretty think that was a picture worth putting in GQ? Just because something might remind you of sex...that doesn't make it sexy.

I shoulda gone to bed instead. Let me fix that.

Our wings are not tired.

That is a stupid picture.

It rained all day yesterday and last night. Rain is a beautiful thing. May it rain all day today too. Still on Phase 3 restrictions though. But the plants are happy and the vehicles less dusty. Whee!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Accident prone people DO exist!

I woke up around 4 AM couldn't get back to sleep. I suppose creating a Flickr account and getting the garbage out (including the yard waste) counts as a good start to the day, yes?

Oh Laura -- that's good! I was beginning to worry about Florida burning up.

My father actually has a membership in a funeral discount club. Like CostCo for dead people.

I was dreaming about walking through the IKEA coffin section last night.

One of those dreams that you have to convince yourself didn't really happen. In retrospect, I'm surprised the real IKEA doesn't have a coffin line....
