Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Thank you, sumi! I forgot it was on.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Was today an official Onerous Task Day? Because I exercised, Swiffered the house, cleaned the bathroom, did a bunch of dayjob stuff, and replied to various emails that had piled up over the weekend. Now I need to finish writing the proposal, and work on the story that's due at the end of the week.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't think any famous folk went to my high school. Unless the teacher who had one of his books become an Oprah's pick was also an alumni....(Wally Lamb taught at my high school, but I didn't have him as a teacher. Actually, I suspect he wasn't at the school at the time I was.)

Yay! Glad to hear the job is working out, zuisa!

I went to the Peruvian Consulate to get a visa today. Their voicemail was full, so I couldn't make an appointment. I think it's actually some guy's garage. But he was very nice.

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

Man, LL Cool J's I Need Love is some awkward songwriting.

But I think finally I can shut this damned NPR off. Cycled through. It's been making me obsess.
