And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

IIRC, Callista and Harrison were made noise about. I can guarantee you I'm not going to remember Bruce's wife's name, but Ashton was that guy who'd just played a teen.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

My neighbor throws bones and dikon in stock pot.

I am fascinated by the Gus talk. Mostly because 1) I actually flirted with him on the board. 2) i really disliked him sometimes 3) I believed things even when they were very odd 4) I did morn him and then find out he was a fake

Dolley Madison was really amazing.

I've got that American Experience ep on dvr for watching later this week! She's probably the earliest prominent woman who was photographed that I can think of (she lived until the 1840s, and so was able to have her daguerrotype taken), and that just fascinates me to no end. She and Abigail Adams are my favorite not-modern First Ladies.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm just climbing out of the rabbit hole of threadsucking the archives.

My eyeballs are bleeding.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Lalala, not going near those archives. You can't make me. Once was enough.

Though believe me, I understand the compulsion. Must...resist....Lalala, can't hear you.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Maybe if we get a snow day tomorrow I'll thread suck the older Bureaucracy threads. (Maybe someday I'll be able to spell "bureaucracy" on the first try, too. Maybe.)

I love my walking distance farmers' market and hippie grocery store. Neither deliver, though.

I'm finding myself getting more interested in Chicago. I miss the Midwest, and Chicago probably has the closest thing to a lively economy in the area. But I love my current job and apartment complex, so nothing's likely to come of it. Still, a 5 hour drive to see family instead of a 14 hour drive or making plan reservations? Tempting.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm still pissed about that crappy New Year's Eve. He OWES me an angst-free champagne holiday.

Really, this is where my butthurt was. Anything lingering is just not liking being played, but initially it was about the timing and then realizing that it was all manipulation.

I suspect that there are buffistas still posting* who are not what their pixels claim. But it's the internet. It happens.

* So not an accusation, just that it happens. Everywhere. And we're overwhelmingly awesome but we're not immune.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I suspect that there are buffistas still posting* who are not what their pixels claim.

It's true. For instance (and I apologise for not mentioning it earlier), I am in fact the Fendahl.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That does explain some things. Hee. I did some threadsucking, too, and my major takeaway is that I need to better organize my files.
 
So! Why am I up at awful o`clock in the morning? Because I had a dream about our band`s soundcheck, something we seriously need to improve on and professional up. I woke up with a very clear idea of the speech I needed to give. And then I was wide awake. At 4:30.
 
Now I`ve used the bathroom, made tea, played wii fit, done devotions and eaten breakfast and I think that`s all I can profitably do while remaining quiet. It would be pleasant if I were sitting in front of a fire, but our chimney sweep broke our woodstove. Not happy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac was up from 4:30 to about 5:45 so therfore so was I mostly. Then the cats were being, well, cats from about 5:00 to 6:30. At 6 mac wet the bed so I had to get him changed and move him to mine where he fell asleep in about 5 min. Basically for 2 hours I was getting between 5-10 min of snoozing at a time, then annoyingly woken up. So very much filled with gronk.
