Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

See, for me, it sounds more like Doctor Zaius.

Ah -- that's totally it! I couldn't figure out if I was thinking of a specific character from somewhere or not.

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

I like it when the truth turns out to be the more useful discovery, yet my recollection of its opposite is valid too. Not as good as actually being on the ball, like bon, but it's somewhere to start.

Meanwhile I'm going to start tagging interesting wine descriptions to del...whatever...I can never punctuate delicious right.

Wine is one of those things I'll never get good at, but I'd like to stop being stupid at. My gym has wine tasting seminars and trips but I don't think I'd enjoy the company of people who..well, people who belong to gyms and go on their wine vacations. If that makes sense. No, it totally doesn't.

I described a friend to my sister as a wealthy disaffected Beverly Hills wife. Friend reacted badly to this, but I pointed out that just because there were wealthier and more disaffected Beverly Hills wives it made her neither poor nor happy. But it's that whole thing of "just because you can describe us in the same terms, don't prejudge me the way I'm prejudging them!"

The people I know at my gym from outside are really cool. They appear to be in a minority, and also I hate humans.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

joining ita in hating humans. I also kinda hate life right now.

again contemplating investigating moving closer to the parentals. It wouldn't be for 8 months or so, but still. it's hard to think of myself happy there longterm or happy with mac being there longterm, but 3-4 years would be eased by proximity to family and things like yards and carpools. ugh. nothing I need to dwell on now.

ION, mac is enjoying his first body submerged in water bath in 6 weeks.

Is he out of the wheelchair from now on, msbelle?

I definitely hate humans, despise my head, and am just not filled large with the love these days.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Am I crazy, or does "General Petraeus" sound like a Star Trek character?

See, for me, it sounds more like Doctor Zaius.

My head combines Planet of the Apes with Falco.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My head combines Planet of the Apes with Falco.

Mine generally does. Yet another thing I can blame on the Simpsons.

oh no ita, not yet. 2 more weeks where any distance of more than a block will be by the GD wheelchair. Once to a location, he WILL be on crutches. two weeks from Thursday, he should have a walking brace. I say should because nothing is going to my understood schedule.

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

Is the stupid mess with the idiots at his school worked out?

fyi, bathtub play by play.

rhino defeats triceratops, then hippo eats triceratops - until mom says that hippos are vegetarians. "Hey we are preTENDing here."
