have voted, brought in King Cake to the office, and now boss has left to go to the Giants parade - I sense a good-ish day.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The big ticker-tape parade goes right past my office this morning.

So far today I've hunted through my whole house for a file, installed excel on my home computer, had breakfast, and had a major coniption when my smoke alarm went off when I was trying to make coffee. (I was using a stovetop espresso maker and couldn't really leave it to go yank the smoke alarm off the wall.)

Oh and a little birdie, also known as Facebook, tells me it's Victor's birthday today. Happy Birthday Victor!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I avoided crossing the parade route on my way to work (like I normally would), but did see many Giants fans on the train.
I think I'm going to give up bread for Lent. Also chips, etc.

I am thinking about giving up chocolate, maybe even all sweets. And trying to tidy up after myself everyday.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
How cool is that? Parades, yay.
Happy birthday Victor!
I'm not doing jack for Lent. I have enough on my plate. But, you know, I still appreciate the whole sacrifice thing and all! And I want to increase my discipline! But not right now. Hee.
Okay. Gotta go! See you on the other side! Wish me puppies and no dropping mattresses in the snow!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I can't even try to tout a philosophy of "Eat less, mostly plants," because I don't agree with it. Eat for enjoyment, dang it.
You know, I was trying to think of how to summerize my own philosophy about Pollen and food stuff, etc, and then Tep went ahead and did it for me.
Eat what makes you feel good, eat what makes you happy. Listen to your body and what it needs; it'll tell you if you let it. Feed your body and soul.

My coworker is giving up blashpheming for Lent, and I've been nominated to fill in the gap, so that'll keep me busy for the next forty days, anyway. I'm thinking of sending around a daily email with creative blasphemous sayings. I might try and do a different religion a day...

The crowds outside are insane, and the parade doesn't officially start for another hour.
