I don't like it when I find out that I may have to do even more Christmas shopping on top of all the Christmas shopping I haven't done.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't know how you folks with little ones resist the urge to scream, sometimes.
Too tired.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
why is it that in the area of screwing up the world Bush decided to become an overachiever?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
and when I let myself think about the steaming pile of shit they're inheriting, my rage is not unlike the sun in its nuclear hot fury.
I try to maintain the historical perspective that my children were not born into the Black Plague, slavery or a debtor's prison.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I find my rage is tempered by the same irrational optimism that led to me to have kids in the first place.

That third one may be making a come back.
Speaking of rage, I get rageful when I think about how much slavery there still is in the world.

Global warming produces fucked up weather not necessarily just hot weather, no?
I heard someone say it ought to be called "global weirding."

I'm kind of hoping global climate change continues to give us mild winters. Except that's where our water comes from. A few carefully organized monsoons per season could balance it.

I've heard the "global weirding", too, although I am not sure where. The winters in upstate NY aren't really milder, but they are at a different time that when I was young-- starting and ending later, with an extended fall and very truncated spring.
I am making socks for someone for a gift exchange tomorrow! I will be giving them one sock, and I feel like I have been knitting like crazy for the past week. I really thought I could finish in time. I id finish a scarf for someone else at the theatre, and I was working on another scarf that I scrapped. I need to get 2 more done for X-mas.

Our wings are not tired.

It is also a misnomer of sorts that leads to people wrongly inferring that it's just weather. It's also affecting ocean currents/temperature and we're already seeing massive effects. It's all related, and it's so much, much bigger than "weather".
