I've heard variations on that scenario so frequently, it makes me glad to be a sit & peeer.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I love my brother because a mere mention that one of my friends has MS sends him off (after he made me list the meds she's on) on a week long fishing expedition into the studies when he's got plenty of other work and his wife is out of town, so he's got 2 kids vs one adult.
I know research gives him energy, but it was above an beyond. And he can translate into english.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I've been way behind but I skipped into the middle of Kat's book list and wanted to throw in my theatre-centric 2ยข.
It also occurs to me I have no African-American writers.

Tom Stoppard is one of my faves. Indian Ink could easily be included in the Romances.
For American comedy Sarah Ruhl is interesting. I wonder if Dead Man's Cell Phone is in print yet.
ION I had to reassure my mother that I was not on the Red Line in Chinatown today.

I was at that stop just the other day for a concert, and I never take the Red Line that far south. And I can't quite figure out the geometry of how that even happened.

I saw one really high angle photo (probably from a helicopter) that looked more plausible than I could figure out otherwise. I don't quite get how the truck made it between the support pillars though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When I was 13 or something, I shaved off the whole front of my shin while shaving my legs
Yeah, I did that one too at about the same age.
I am so tired it's a bit surreal. I think I might actually go to bed.

this was really odd to me, since there is a red line in Chinatown in DC.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Wow, I didn't even hear about that until you guys brought it up here. Of course, I didn't leave the office anywhere close to "evening rush hour" so it wouldn't have affected me. Feh.

not your mom's socks.
got home from Brooklyn late last night - a good trip. Gorgeous day! Tom, I'm sad we didn't get to meet up (and everyone should know that Tom was incredibly patient with me and my multiple emails) - hope to catch you next time. I so love New York. As we drove in (Ver. Bridge), the harbor was chock full of boats - commerce, people! And as we left, there was a full-fledged cricket game going on in the square outside our building. love.
I only picked 2 small, language-based fights yesterday. This is good, given the context.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Why did I volunteer myself for helping a disorganized friend paint today? Because I felt so sorry for her (genuine) sob story, I guess. And I like helping, in general, but she's so disorganized that I end up grinding my teeth because it will be done in stupid ways that could be so much more efficient, and that she can't be gently argued out of, either.
