And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I swear, you have to walk through EVERY aisle at Target: [link]

Apparent Duke (my former workplace) has an Occupy encampment. Which is very funny, since the main goal in life of a plurality of Duke students has traditionally been to be an investment banker.

Maybe they think it's K-ville, and they're camping out for basketball tickets?

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

I made one up and wore it to my sleep psych appointment, and she was very confused. She was all "what does that have to do with the war???" I told her it had to do with a TV show (it's a smush of a Supernatural quote), and she was all "Ohh" in that "I totally fail to get that, but okay" tone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Random question: does anyone here use "Motrin" for the general term for ibuprofen? I just got a flu shot and the nurse said I should take "Tylenol or Motrin" if it gets sore. I just would always call ibuprofen Advil.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, I noticed a few years ago that nobody was saying Advil any more.
