No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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

See also, Lillian shooting her hand out to block the snotsucker heading straight for another baby's face, back when she was still in the infant room.

okay, that's hysterical. Of course if I were a baby, I wouldn't like the snotsucker; K is convinced she's going to pull his brain through a nostril. But he's so much happier after the fact because he can breathe so much easier.

Hint from nursing staff: spray a little bit of saline BEFORE application of snotsucker and it's way more effective.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hmm, it'll be interesting to see which of my usual haunts online are available...

Not as much fun as you may think.

Hmmm, from here it seems pretty funny.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Today's edition of I Don't Understand Other People's Clothing Choices: I just passed a woman wearing 4" stilletto-heeled, peep-toe, sling-back shoes; black baggy capris; a hip-length fuchsia sequined tank top; and a shrunken black denim jacket. With kinda frizzy, "my blow-out has given up", overly-bleached hair and peach lipgloss.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We're sorry Jilli. She escaped Dallas. You can just send her on back down here. She's probably lost, poor thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Massive power outage in SF's Soma district takes many websites offline

'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"

Either a power outage, or the Singularity is upon us. You concentrate enough geekery in one place....

Does anyone else go straight to A Brave, New World when thinking about the SOMA district?

Don't put all your servers in one....

Anyway. I was gonna say I hadn't heard of any kid who liked the snotsucker, but now I have! That's funny.

I hope the leftovers I'm eating are actually enough for dinner. Don't want to whip something else up and NPR has already reduced me to tears twice. And I can't remember what one story was.

All those times I mocked* my brother for his hungry grumpies? I'M SORRY OK!!
