“Not dead yet!”
Neither was I until you just mentioned it and now I can't stop humming. Curse you, wee Teppy!
And Trudy.
Dammit.
Now I gotta go find my tenth anniversary DVD with all the Jean Valjeans from around the world singing together.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I put too much milk in my oatmeal this morning. It's going to be a weird day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In'eresting: Top 10 Most Expensive Accidents in History
I hadn't realised how instantly recognisable I found this explosion picture. I'm also surprised to find out that the Metrolink crash that just happened here in LA county made the list. Yikes.

Our wings are not tired.
My neighbor had a canvasser knock on her door and ask her if she was voting. She told her she had voted early and the person asked if she minded saying who she selected. She said she would rather keep it private and then they mentioned that she did have a peace sign flag on her flag pole under the US flag. They both burst out laughing and she fessed up that indeed she was an Obama supporter. We live in an area that has always gone Republican, but there are Obama signs all over this year.

Damned allergies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I have "On My Own" in my head, too -- except it's from Fame! Der.

Oooh, I like that one, too, Jesse! Although my all-time favorite from that is probably "Is It Okay If I Call You Mine".

The Hegelian dialectic came up in conversation with my sister yesterday. In order to make sure I hadn't been too off base I looked it up in wikipedia. Now I'm not sure if I was off base or not. What does this mean:
Another important principle for Hegel is the negation of the negation that he also terms Aufhebung (sublation): Something is only what it is in its relationship to another, but by the negation of the negation this something incorporates the other into itself. The dialectical movement involves two moments that negate each other, a somewhat and an another. As a result of the negation of the negation, "something becomes an other; this other is itself somewhat; therefore it likewise becomes an other, and so on ad infinitum". Something in its passage into other only joins with itself, it is self-related. In becoming there are two moments: coming-to-be and ceasing-to-be: by sublation, i.e. negation of the negation, being passes over into nothing, it ceases to be, but something new shows up, is coming to be. What is sublated (aufgehoben) is on the one hand ceases to be and is put to an end, but on the other hand it is preserved and maintained. In dialectics, a totality transform itself, it is self-related.
It's English, right? The words do look familiar. It's the sentences that mystify me.
Thanks, Jesse. Now I have Fame stuck in my head.
