We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

'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"

Continuing my week's theme, I watched a docu-drama about Jonestown on the History Channel yesterday, featuring commentary by Stephan Jones, Jim Jones' son -- he escaped the slaughter by being away with the teen boy's basketball team. They got radioed orders to kill themselves, but away from so much community influence (not to mention the armed guards), rejected the idea.

He's had a lot of time to think over what happened and why, and he's actually articulate, so it added a lot to understanding the why and how.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like "Slayer of Coast Mayor is Free After Six Years" or "US Will Not Prosecute in 1978 Killings On Coast." I wonder when that usage stopped.

I hadn't thought about it, but isn't the old joke, "I just flew in from the coast, and boy are my arms tired"?

Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne used to write a column for Esquire called The Coast, about California. And I'm pretty sure that Didion has a line in one of her essays about how California is called the Coast.

Hey, msbelle, did it turn out to be nothing, or do we not know that yet?

OK, I can't find my ipod. Lord only knows where I put it.

This is crazymaking. I brought it back from the trip, but...it's nowhere. Ahrg. I don't think there is any possibility it was stolen, I just expect I put it somwhere really random.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Is it way too early to decorate for holidays? I want to put the lights up!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If you want to put them up, go for it.

I have a tendency to leave holiday decorations up for a very long time. When it's all cold and dreary outside the last thing I want to do is take away the cheery lights.

I haven't had a tree in a couple of years because of the cats. I should put up some lights without the tree.
