I might have been a jerk on the bus this morning, what with a whole slew of seats being taken up by bags and nobody moving them so I could sit down until I got a little testy. And they were all, "You just had to ask!" So I felt a little guilty, but not that much, because I never make anyone else ask me to move my shit so they can sit down.

I'm a little post-convention cranky.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wait, wait, don't we not have thumb muscles? Or any other finger muscles? I think they're all tendons actually in our hands, controlled by the muscles in our forearms. Right? Am I bullshitting? 'Cause I've been telling my students this for a while.

Mind you, I never read the thumbs article, 'cause freaky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our wings are not tired.

I wasn't cranky until I read about the article that IMO was presented as Latest News and rude bus passengers. Annoying cranky making humans.

Maybe watching Stephen Baldwin get mauled by a bull will make everyone's transportation woes seem less annoying?

I was at a convention all weekend, so I'm people-frazzled and in dire need of nappy-times in a dark room. I'd like not to communicate with another human for about a week to recover, but unfortunately I have to, like, work and stuff.

Hum. Fascinating. Wikipedia rocks.

I call bullshit on those people. The impetus is not on you to get them to move the bags, it's on them to fucking move them! In NYC that could get them a fine, I believe. Maybe just on the subway?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I think "You just had to ask." translates to "I'm completely inconsiderate and resent the fact that you called me on it and therefore am going to transfer the blame to you in order to preserve my finely honed sense of entitlement."

I won't put any of my bags on the seat next to me until after the bus goes express and no one else will be getting on it. I just don't like it when people make me school them before I've had coffee.
