I look more rad than Lutheranism

I can't Swinton my way between visual genders

I really, really approve of Swinton as a verb. Although, for accuracy, it should be SWINTON.

I think Tim identifies as genderqueer (I should really ask him, huh?), and I, without fail, regardless of how he's dressed/presenting/identifying, always, ALWAYS refer to him as Tim (rather than the name he uses when he's crossdressed). And I feel like an asshole for doing that, but he doesn't ever make any deal out of it. But to me, he's just Tim. Not as in Tim, My Male-Gender-Specific Boyfriend. As in...just the human being who I love. To me, I guess, "Tim" doesn't necessarily equal male.

Hmm. Will have to talk to him about that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Football injury update: The Saints have managed to hurt their own coach, who will be calling the second half of the game from the press box.

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

That's a relief, sara. Good to hear.

Why is the Miami airport so parsimonious with power outlets? We're herded towards the branded ones. And I have two devices, so I'm eating half. I really should get a power strip. Must look into tiny ones.

And I feel I need to get up. Get something to drink, get closer to my gate. I will never see electricity again. Well, guys. It was nice knowing you! Farewell!

I did about 15 minutes of work. Now I am irritated and going back to football and Twitter.

I took a nice long nap, is why I wasn't here....

Nap. Hmmph. My mother and I have been battling insomnia, and my father and sister have been falling asleep where they stand. It's pretty sad. I had to send my father back to bed yesterday morning. I don't know where he was planning to go at seven.

I have shredded beef, white rice, plantain, and two guilt-free power outlets. I do love the food in the Miami airport. It might be my favourite airport food in the US.

You are possibly damning with faint praise.

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

I am sore from pulling weeds for hours yesterday. Today I had to speak in front of many small groups at church, then sorta scold an elderly volunteer, and finally deal with a crying mac. All worked out though and now I'm ass-sitting, knitting, and watching football.

GO RANGERS!

That's because I wasn't on last night.

I need to apply for some jobs today and also get some listings up online for this craft fair thing I am organizing. don't really want to do either. Maybe I will call some potential vendors instead and try to get some more booths filled (currently only about half full) since the event is in 3.5 weeks.

Have you eaten there? Small Cuban eateries all over the place, plus restaurants like The Counter. I'm sure at least one other airport steps up to the plate, so to speak, but I especially like the region represented here, so I'm very happy.

Also, my home airport used to be Detroit. IJS.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This time I am just hoping the driver is alive.

Dan Wheldon, RIP.
