The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I drank magic beer last night and then got sick (not immediately after, and I didn't over-indulge, which is why I'm 99.8% sure the magic beer didn't cause the pukey, but now I'm leery of drinking it again [see also, frozen chicken nuggets and the Stomach Bug of Aught-Eight and why I won't eat them again]).

Oh, that sucks, but I know how you feel. I still can't eat Junior mints, because of a bad movie experience when I was about 13.

See also, gin, the evils of, and the freshman year of college road trip I took to St. Louis University. It's been almost 20 years, and I still get the quease when I even smell gin.

t edit I'm hoping to power through the bad association with Magic Beer, because I refuse to give that up.

So the grocery store was MOBBED at 4:30. And it wasn't as if people were buying party food, either. So it could be the superbowl, it could be the weather forecast.

And my weather widget is telling me is is 59 outside. 59! Yesterday, huge icicles were forming on my balcony.

My parents sent pictures of the kittens they trapped and fixed. So cute. In the picture of the one named Astra who went to dad's office manager, she's sitting in front of a picture of Clyde Tombaugh. So apt.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I stopped at OSH on the way home, and it was full of elderly people who obviously thought Superbowl Sunday was the best time to go out for home repair items. I swear I was the youngest person in the store.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I went out for my walk. Oddly quite for a day in high 60s /low 70s. Maybe people were making super bowl food.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The Puppy Bowl has a parrot singing the national anthem.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't like football(mostly because I think it's sort of beyond me, honestly) but I must agree that KeithNDan4-evah!!1 is as great as people's memories describe it. I am now thinking Dan should get that 10:00 MSNBC slot and out-Costas Costas. Which might quell the "partisan" bitching, but not the "KO runs the network" bitching.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jennifer Hudson sure can sing.

Say what you want about American Idol, but at least they've throw a bunch of kids into the pop music world with some actual talent.
