I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cute! I need to re-evaluate my summer shoes before the trip in June...

Oh, I like the black ones a lot! I have a weakness for heels.
It shocked my travel people that I normally wear 3-4+ inch heels daily. Even have some 5 inchers (though I wear those only when the weather is good and I expect to be in meetings all day.) And yet, my crocs are like 1-2" wedges which I donned when walking all over Kath and Bhutan. I wore sneakers on hikes, but who wouldn't?
As ridic as it it, I need new shoes. My daily staples are wearing out, though my summer shoes are ok, so I can ignore it longer. But I've got a wedding the end of May, so I need a dress and shoes for that. Whee?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
OK, a little behind in Dateline here and if the ::gasp:: secret turns out to be that the step mother killed the guy and buried him in the back yard I'm going to be deeply annoyed. TOTALLY not worth 20 minutes of spooky-voice from whassisname the white-haired Dateline guy.

Going back a bit, I LOVE Roomba Cat. If the batteries in my roomba weren't dead, I'd love to get Loki riding it.

OK, its looking like the shitty thing is that psycho step-mother had her poor 12 year old daughter help her quite a bit. The kid bought the sleeping pills, watched while her mother shoot him, helped get rid of the body, cleaned up the blood. That poor baby. Still not worth that much spooky-voice.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I typed without thinking. I meant I doubt that the prevalence of child sex abuse in the Catholic Church is confined just to the developed nations of the West. I'd wager that there is just as much abuse (and perhaps more) in Central and South America and Africa as there has been in the US and Europe. But it's possible that those abuses won't come to light for decades or centuries.
I think the entire hierarchical structure of the Catholic Church enables abuse of all sorts to happen. And when you run around and claim papal infallibility (with the extension of that some type of infallibility of clergy in general) then you create a system where victimization is easier to cover up.
