But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Now tagless for your comfort.

In better Monday news, I'm just recalling some good parts of a dream I had last night involving Jason Bateman.

(The concert? NOT MY IDEA. It's...a thing, and I'm happy to do it, but the timing could not be worse, is all I'm saying.)

well, you could use the frame thing as a way to get out of it. I mean, it sounds like it's one of those things that you don't mind doing if there's nothing else going on, but now that it's making other things inconvenient, you should bail. Call it a birthday gift to yourself.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ANYDAY YOU WANT IT TO BE!! CELEBRATE AWAY!!!!

What msbelle said. Could you schedule something special during your trip? And if suggestions are unhelpful at this juncture, just scroll right on by.

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

I'm just recalling some good parts of a dream I had last night involving Jason Bateman.

I dreamt about Nicolas Cage. Trauma.

Someone tell the guy a cube over that appearing in Boogie Nights doesn't make you a porn star.

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

I just got to wash a particularly vile cat butt. Afterward, instead of being aloof and sulking off to lick her bruised dignity like most cats would, she wanted to be all lovey. I guess my patience with those frightened kittens (4 years ago?) has worked out.

Now I think I need to go to urgent care. I look like I've been punched in the face. For a couple of days I've had a streak along my cheekbone that was kind of red and itchy. Today it's really swollen. Here's hoping it's something simple and not too expensive to treat.

Coding and Sleeping

You know what's not reassuring. The name of the Chevron rig that is in even deeper water than the Deepwater Horizon is "Blind Faith". No, really.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This just in: leftover Afghan food is delicious. The only thing that could make this MORE delicious is if I had more of the awesome yogurt sauce, but alas, I do not.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, fuck her.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

(The concert? NOT MY IDEA. It's...a thing, and I'm happy to do it, but the timing could not be worse, is all I'm saying.)

I would love to, but we're "taking" one of The Boy's aunts. She has Down's Syndrome, and has a trust that provides for her leisure/recreational/vacation activities. Since The Boy is the only one of her nephews who doesn't have kids, he has a lot more free time than his other 2 brothers. So when his aunt wants to go to the movies/concerts/etc., The Boy goes with her. And now that I'm part of the package deal with The Boy, I go as well.

She'd be really disappointed if I didn't go, and like I said, I'm happy to do it because she enjoys it so so SO much. (And because she's a sweetheart and I really love her.) The timing is just really bad this year.
