I have now assured various relatives that I am fine, even though downtown looks like it was visited by the Cloverfield creature.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Wow. Those pictures are a little frightening. So glad you and the dog escaped damage, Ginger.
Also, that's the third time in two days I've seen sever as an alternate spelling of severe.

Well, I feel better now about being too lazy to stretch after my run this morning. (NYTimes)
The most efficient runners, those who exerted the least effort to maintain a pace, were the stiffest.
Oh, wait, no, that's not good. I don't want to be efficient: I want to burn more calories! Huh.

Damnit. I thought, because you can file for a week starting on Sunday, that you could file for the previous week through Saturday. Apparently you have to file by Friday. CRAP.
Just not what I need right now.

Is there a French speaker in the house?
I need a translation of the following:
I wish I'd never married you, you treasonous bitch!
Thanks!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I watched Legion and stayed for Spider-Man. Now I can blame Sheryl for my getting nothing done this morning! Yay?
Heh, glad to oblige Theo.
In other news I bought a new computer today. Haven't set it up yet.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Despite the generally sucky rainy work-filled weekend, at least one of my prayers has been answered. The Thai restaurant next door opened up, and HMOG is it good! Tom Yum soup among the best I've had, and basil chicken that is the best iteration of that dish I've ever eaten. I hope it does well - it's priced more like a fine dining restaurant than the Asian buffets people are used to in this area, but the food and atmosphere are definitely worth it.

I followed my doing little this morning by taking a long nap this afternoon. Maybe I will get something done now?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just turned on the TV to news of a building collapse not far from where I just was! Scary.
Edit: Apparently a 20-story crane fell over and crushed a building across the street. Yikes. [link]
