Nobody wants to go see Iron & Wine with me tonight.

Hey, I totally want.

Wait, there's a transatlantic flight to bring into consideration. Shit.

Compassionately intolerant

Happy Earth Day Earth! Thanks for the gravity, atmosphere, and magnetic field!

Yes! Thanks for the water and the air and the not exploding.

It's the week for falling ceilings. Thankfully, my landlord actually responded and did a fairly good job of cutting way the messed up part of the ceiling and cleaning up after himself. So there's that.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Frankly, that doesn't sound like a punishment, Shrift.

Well, I'm violently angry right now, so I can't guarantee that anyone who touches my ass will make it out of the experience alive.

I would go! Just give me five minutes to destroy the internet first.

I'll just suck it up and go by myself. I imagine it will be a mellow concert, so I'll be fine. t sigh

The internet, however -- how about we destroy it together? I'm seriously considering printing up a T-shirt that just says "NO." for Dragon*Con.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

::snerk:: Love.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I'm tempted to go to Dragon*Con this year. It is between going or saving money to move out of the apartment with roaches. It is bad that this is even a question. Isn't it?

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

I wore the wrong shoes to work today. My back HURTS. I swear, last time I wore these they were comfortable. How can I have forgotten how?

I paged in late to work today, but work didn't pay attention and kept calling me at home. Mumblegrumble.

I swear there was someone outside my window wishing vehement happy Earth days, but I couldn't work out why she had to be so insistent. I don't get the opposition.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The internet, however -- how about we destroy it together?
This is really looking like a shinier and shinier idea today.

shrift, I was mentally slashing a contact lens commercial last night and kinda blamed you.

information libertarian

Huh. The lights went out about an hour ago as I was off to a meeting, and now we hear they will be off all afternoon. It is pretty pitch-black in my office, though the main library floor has emergency lighting. Interestingly, all computer power, etc. is fine.

But aside from looking at the glowing screen, there's not much else I can do.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Good dog! [link]

A dog that ran off during a road-trip rest stop apparently made her way nearly 80 miles (129 kilometers) across Nevada's high desert and two mountain ranges to return home a week later.
