Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

not your mom's socks.

I've given in to the stabbing 3 day headache that is not a migraine, the sniffles, and the general ugh. Here's hoping it's more about the weather change than anything else.

We helped my mother turn 77 over the weekend.

Hooray Aunt M!

K entertained her by reading the numbers & letters off of license plates while we walked around.

I need K's help to do my taxes, obviously.

Me too! But I've only been up for 47 minutes and I have to get through the rest of the day.

My goal today is to not say, not even once, how tired I am.

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

I gave up and didn't go back to sleep. But at least I'm not at work. Yet.

Now tagless for your comfort.

NPR makes a brilliant use of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Watcher Rupert Giles in their segment On the Media.

Too bad Buffy can't slay the Media Demon that is James O'Keefe.

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

I am so fed up with my state gov't. So first they pass the "any woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy must have a sonogram and hear the heartbeat" bill, which I loathe, clearly, and is in no way "small gov't" or "gov't staying out of our lives" which is what so many of them claim to be their political stance. NOW, they are on the verge of passing a law requiring residents to have a state or fed gov't issued photo ID in order to VOTE! THE FUCK?!?! Also they are looking to cut property taxes, WHILE WE ARE FACING A BUDGET DEFICIT AND WILL BE LAYING OFF TEACHERS?!?!?!?

What's that actually pan out to? I mean, if you're deaf?

How do they currently ID people? (I've never voted, anywhere, so I have no idea how these things work)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't remember if it's how they do it here, but in NY, you sign the register against the signature you registered to vote with.

Talk me through this slowly, because I am a newb to your ways of democracy and hope...but what's big difference between simply registering to vote and getting a state ID? What do you need for the latter that you don't need for the former?
