We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Capital letters, exclamation points, you're just a giver today, smonster!

Hey, you asked for them, P-C.

Save up those exclamation points. I may need them.

Yes'm. Exclamation resource conservation, engage.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Jesse, are you working in Windows? I use Irfanview to do stuff like that. It can adjust jpeg quality and file size as part of the "Save As" operation.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Snorting with laughter. She's insane. In the good way.

This box is a trove of goodies from the past. I just found the letter of acceptance I got for my current job. It was faxed to me, dated 9 Dec 1999, and it's on that slick paper that fax machines used to use. I'd forgotten about that stuff! That was only 12 years ago.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It got kind of wild outside, so I sat in the hall for a while. This caused me to ponder how much my hall needs painting and why the woodwork so rarely forms right angles.

A woman in Woodstock, north of Atlanta, reported that part of a Dixie Speedway race car had landed in her front yard.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

What!?

Stay safe, Ginger!

Came across an old friend's address. We'd lost touch over a decade ago. Via Google I find that he died last August of cancer. Fuck. He was an interesting guy, active in the music scene in Nashville for a really long time. I still have the gift he gave me for my 25th birthday.

That's got to be unsettling.

What!?

I heard her call the radio station. I'm hoping there's a picture somewhere. The radio news people were saying things like, "If anyone is missing part of race car, call...."

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Stay safe Ginger.

I love going to karate on holidays. Instead of our usual material, we usually get to learn something new. Typically a black belt something. Today we learned the first part of a Shoalin Black Tiger form. Very fun. I'm tuckered, but happy tuckered.

CJ came home for a couple hours this morning, then was out again for a picnic with his BFF. I wish I had half his social life.

It all depends on how our Kitchen Destruction and Reconstruction is going.

Want details.

So I did all but the yardwork because it is fucking muggy out there and now raining and I didn't want to. Later in the week. Besides, my trash was very overfull since I cleared out the fridge and freezer. I think the biggest laugh I got was mandarine orange cups with a sell by of 2007. I have NO IDEA how those didn't get culled in the move. Really, that was the worst sin.

Medicine cabinet now has contents. Culled there too. Yay!

I was also going to attempt to re-attach the newly sagging lining in the car ceiling, but see: raining. Which is probably partly why it is sagging. There is a tiny leak in there somewhere, because it stinks in there when it rains and feels damp. But I cannot figure out where.

Oh, when I got to the pool, I discovered pawprint impression on my face. You know how you get sheet impressions from the pillows? Well, after I got up this morning, I wasn't quite ready to hit the pool, so I lay down on the couch. As is usual when Loki is feeling cuddly, or I am prone, he came to sprawl out on me and nap. With a paw stretched up and pressed into my cheek. Hence, paw impression.
