Because books.

Anne, NO CATCHING FIRE. Argh.

Good job, brenda! That was hard to do, but very smart.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yeeps Liese, that's quite a welcome home. Uh, welcome home!

I am sitting here quite sure there's something I'm not taking care of. I don't like that feeling.

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

I got raked over the coals by the project team for the project from hell. I feel sick as a dog and I hate the world, so it was really not a good time.

And I'm *out* of Ambien, so the lack of sleep is just going to get worse.

On the other hand, I got a good author for my next big bang, even though it's going to be a tricky story to illustrate.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Anne, NO CATCHING FIRE. Argh.

At least I didn't actually catch fire. Also, I am in a position to be able to get a new car, even though it means postponing a few other things I had planned. So yeah, bad, but it could be much, much worse.

Some days, that all you can ask.

Compassionately intolerant

It's sort of like the long-running, highly successful "Walk for Hunger" here. Uh, maybe walk against hunger??

Back in the day, when I was a professional peace activist, it disturbed me that people kept chanting, "Bring down the bombs!"

Um. I walked across America to KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING, can't we find different words?

Ugh ita, sorry it's been such an awful day.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

ita and Anne-- what days you have had!

I just read that Amber Tamblyn and David Cross are getting married. I didn't know they were dating. I think it is sweet, but I kind of always picture David Cross as Tobias Funke, wearing those short denim shorts as a never-nude.
