Because it is only just now bedtime? Or getting close to bedtime?

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

But I have stupid stuff to do at a.m. times that are completely unrealistic given my not-even-normal sleep times.

Which means, ugh, earlies are gonna pain me.

Kitties! Mine only started really going for my food when I had him on some anti-allergy food from the vet. Apparently it tasted like kibbled ass. I switched him to a different food and now he only bothers me for bacon.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh god help.

I have a terrible cold, right? And whatever they are trying to pass off as nyquil is complete horseshit. But now they don't make the old school nyquil anymore.

What can I get behind the methlab blockade at the pharmacy when it opens?

I have a bad cough, stuffy nose, slight fever, sore throat, and now I'm achy through the neck and shoulders from coughing. Bonus points if said medication knocks me out for 12 hours, just like old school NyQuil.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What can I get behind the methlab blockade at the pharmacy when it opens?

I personally would take one Advil Cold & Sinus capsule (from behind the counter), and one Advil PM capsule. That would get you pretty close to Nyquil, except with ibuprofen instead of acetaminophen.

ION:

I believe that's the same woman who wrote about the nerd speed dating thing Scola (I think?) was at.

You are correct.

She is a blithering idiot.

You are still correct.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Possibly you would get closer to the Nyquil effect if you washed it down with some alcohol, as well. At least I think that is the part that made me sleepy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was definitely part of it.

And at least that Marie Claire thing is just a blog, not a published-on-paper article. I mean, about the editing, not the sentiments.

I woke up early again. Please do not let today be a repeat of yesterday.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I tend to think that blogs that want to be taken seriously, especially if they're linked with/part of a publication, like this one, ought to be edited and held to the same editorial standards as the rest of the publication.

Of course, I don't read Marie Claire (print or online), so maybe that IS indicative of their editorial standards.

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

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Er, I mean, unfortunately, the only rule about blogging for a print publication is volume volume volume. Most magazines don't even have full-time fact checkers or copy editors for their print editions anymore, and the thing that brings in money from the blogs is page hits, so as long as you post a LOT, who gives a fuck if it's spell-checked?

Quality writing? Wha?

(What, me, bitter about DH's industry unceremoniously flushing itself down the toilet over the past ten years? Nah...)
