Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In the tale of going through my shit, I have listed three pairs of shoes and a dress on eBay, and pulled two little grocery bags full of sweaters to donate. It seems potentially risky to sort sweaters when it's so hot, but I know I didn't wear any of these last winter.

The only comments sections I delve into are primarily the one for the Salt Lake Tribune, which local consider to be scandalously liberal and non-locals consider just a little to the left of the Tea Party. It reassures me to see people in Utah who are passionate about relatively progressive things.

Other than that, it's occasional dips into Think Progress and The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor, which follows royalty and what they wear and their bling.

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

It's risky to sort sweaters because you'll get rid of ones you wouldn't get rid of if it was cold? But that you shouldn't get rid of?

I've managed to move some of the bags for Goodwill into my trunk. But every time I've been driving past Goodwill it's been past 6, and I've been half-assedly assuming it'd be closed. I should just check that out. Like, before I hit post on this.

Dammit.

Okay, 8PM. No excuse not to get rid of the stuff next day I drive into the office. Not unless I go severely work crazy. I wonder if that place also takes non-working electronics. I feel bad dropping that off. It's very "psych!" But the thing said they'd take electronic waste...

I complained about the ION spots to John Rogers, and he said they're getting mad crazy viewership numbers on ION, so I guess either they're that good, or I'm that not plugged in. Either way is reasonable. I still feel I would be more successful buying the BFF S1 than getting her to watch it there, though. She's...picky.

I want another morningstar muffin, dammit. I need to find a recipe for a pineapple/carrot/raisin muffin that's really moist. That should be simple, right?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think I'll have to go with "not my beautiful cake". Brass Monkey is the first song to pop into my head, but I know that there have been more recent songs that I actually liked but couldn't name.

Are there psychological studies on people who troll? They can't all be pre- or early-teens going through a trash-talking phase.

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

I've managed to move a bunch of Goodwill stuff into the car, but I haven't managed to actually go to the Goodwill yet.

Damn, it takes me SO LONG to do anything. Weeks, months, even. What is wrong with me?

Staples or Best Buy will take the non-working electronics.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I was not a Beastie fan, so the two songs I remember are "Fight for Your Right" (indifferent to) and "Intergalactic" (wished one of those musician-targeting charter planes had gotten to them before the recording session).

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

He's basically CalGal with angel investors.

That sent a chill up my spine. Except -- didn't CalGal ban people like crazy? Or did she just heap nasty insults (ISTR "dipshit" was a favorite of hers) upon them until they went away?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

(wished one of those musician-targeting charter planes had gotten to them before the recording session).

Too soon, I think.

Yes, that's what I meant. Because I almost got rid of ALL of them, because how could anyone ever in life (today) want to wear a sweater????

I need to find a recipe for a pineapple/carrot/raisin muffin that's really moist. That should be simple, right?

I would think those three ingredients would tend to make any muffin moist, yes. Oil not butter would also help, I think.
