Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Luckily, you should both laugh and cry, right? Also, the real guy is OK now.

Really interesting (long) article on female singledom.

Thank you! I saw that earlier in the week, and meant to read it at home, but kept forgetting!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Has Project Runway started up again? This whole not having tv thing is just weird.

I did more thrift shopping today and found the sweater and skirt for my Velma costume! Thank you, Junior League. I also got a cute dress and skinny jeans (don't judge)(go ahead, judge) and a couple of other things. Behold my brilliance - I'm going to cut the arms off of the sweater and use them for my knee socks, so they will match my top exactly.

Punishingly Intricate

Yes! I wouldn't be seeing it I don't think if it wasn't for that.

Ooh, that is brilliant.

It's almost done!

So my friend emailed -- she said she was late and phoneless, and apologized. So all's well that ends well....

I've got laundry in and I'm eating dinner. I just need to pack, wrangle electronics, empty produce from the refrigerator, take out the garbage, call for a taxi, shower, and attempt to be in bed in two hours.

I've been running errands throughout the week, so I might actually succeed at that last one.

I found the bit at the end, about how she encouraged a fellow single friend to move into her apartment building and the way she and her peers have built a support community, to really resonate with my current arrangement. As I was reading it, was also making to market plans with my neighbors, agreeing to let a married couple's dog out during the day and tying down my neighbor's plants, as it is really windy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have been making progress! I only have a couple of hours of stuff left to do.

Goal is to be done by SPN time, other than the shower and shaving my legs. I am also imbibing though, so it may take or may not happen.

My poor brother and SIL. She has to put her cat down tomorrow, her truck needs a new transmission, and D's doctor wants him to have an mri on account of his migraines presenting a new symptom. She's pretty much Done. And my brother is sick and trying to cope with a distraught wife with pretty much no reserves left. And dig a cat grave.
