Programming note: TCM had previously scheduled Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf to run at 2:00 a.m. Eastern time Friday morning. My DVR is already set.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
MOG, they're still cutting down trees next door. Chainsaws, all day yesterday and now it seems all day today. Why the hell do they have to cut down a bunch of pretty trees? The complex manager told me sweetly that they were dead, but that is clearly untrue. It's a damn shame, not to mention giving me a huge headache. I'd go somewhere else for the day, but I have to work, dammit.

Maybe Jesse has my post-crying eyeballs. I cry every day, but never look like I did. Except to the dog. The dog can always tell.
I dunno how other people pronounce hoof. It ends with an oof for me.
Yay for msbelle interview.
Meep for Allyson mom visit.
Aww, sad about Elizabeth Taylor.
The SO is out getting his hair cut, and then Spring Break mini-trip! AND it turns out I don't have Thursday night rehearsal, so I don't have to rush back!
Ooh, which reminds me, I need to launder these linens I'm sitting on for the band leader to sleep in here tonight, dog-sitting.
Okay, kettle on, gotta get moving. Happy! Man do I ever need this break.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My wedding dress design was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor's costumes in Butterfield 8 !
Cool! During my 365 photos attempt (what was I thinking? 365 pictures of myself? I'm surprised I lasted that long) the only inspired-by-outside-sources portrait was Butterfield 8 influenced.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sumi, that sounds worth taking a long lunch for. Especially since it's a university program.

Art Crawl!!!
I've been given permission to go.
ION - speed limits for bicyles: do modern bikes have a speedometer? Perhaps, in places where there is a speed limit - they should.

do modern bikes have a speedometer?
No but a lot of riders have bike computers. I can never get mine to work correctly though.

Compassionately intolerant
My bike totally had an odometer, which was a mixed blessing. Going down a very steep hill in VA, my speedometer registered 38pmh. My first thought was 'whheeee'. My next thought was 'pebble.' Then came the terror. I wish I hadn't known how fact I was going. The rest of the time I wish I hadn't known how fast I was NOT going.

MOG, they're still cutting down trees next door.
Yesterday, they were cutting and grinding up trees three doors down and I thought it would drive me mad or at least madder.
