Buffistas

Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I wrote a paper on Isadora Duncan in High School. And I think of her whenever someone quotes "writing about music is like dancing about architecture", since there was a great passage in the bio written by one of her adopted daughters describing her dancing in the Parthenon (maybe, somewhere with a lot of columns and historic significance) with no music, just inspired by the building.

Her husband was a Russian poet who thought people should read novels straight through without interruption (not taking time out to sleep or eat or work) to fully appreciate them. He would probably not be pleased that that is all I remember about him.

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

Thank you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In like 7th grade, my best friend had a long scarf that she liked to wear, so someone made the Duncan reference then.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aw, Robert Goulet died.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Sad now. The Camelot revival came through town so I was able to see him as King Arthur. Mom had/has such a crush on him.

I knew about Duncan!

So T came over to borrow my computer since hers isn't working and she had to type up a report. Took her about 40 minutes, 2 pages, and I was delighted when we ran the spell and grammar check. The only words were the "new" science terms and she mostly transposed letters (speud instead of pseud.) And she's finally nailing the grammar (I also checked.)

Oh & Devi did not let the terror of a preteen keep her from sitting behind the laptop under the lamp. But it is only 66 inside.

Oh & my heater works. I'm just keep it cool for now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had the weirdest deja vu, thinking that I was talking about Robert Goulet's death days ago, but then I remembered that no, not deja vu, there was an article on some entertainment news site headlined, "Robert Goulet needs a lung," and that was days ago.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I knew about Duncan!

Hey, that's a subtle Halloween costume I could wear to work. Surely I have a really long scarf somewhere.

I didn't know about Duncan! I mean, I knew she was a dancer, but not about her death. I agree with Lori, that's very NO CAPES.

I refuse to wear a costume tomorrow. Sorry. Not in the mood for masquerading.

I, according to K, pissed off the pulmonologist today.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
