Theo, I am so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad to hear she got to go peacefully.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Deepest Sympathy Theo. As others have said, it is always sudden.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Guy on the Buffy article comment thread who has been arguing, essentially, "You're all wrong because EVO PSYCH" just cited, absolutely seriously, Satoshi Kanazawa. I feel like I just won a prize. A really, really rancid prize.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, that Satoshi guy is complete douchery. Completely disgusting.
System still down, and I didn't project for this when I bought a matinee ticket for Premium Rush. Might be $7 down the drain. I had an inspiration, but it might not be the real issue,
Wait...no...my hunch about why we're down looks like it was right--what are the chances of getting permission to fix it in half an hour? Nil to none, I fear.

Okay, now this guy is pissing me way the fuck off, to the point where I've just about run out of words beyond FEMINIST HULK SMASH. If someone else wants to go in and eviscerate him, it would be a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Because books.
Walk away and put on a tiara and get yourself a cupcake, and bask in your rightness. Even if he won't get, you do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, Theodosia. I'm so sorry. It sounds like she had a good long run.

...speaking of old ladies? My parents and grandmother and I took our annual trip for lunch in the town in Rhode Island where my mother grew up, which was nice. The weather was gorgeous and the food was excellent, as always.
Also, I've been trying to come up with a floor-covering solution for the cat's litter box area, because his aim is terrible, and I thought I had it just now at Staples: a 24x36 dry erase wall calendar. The price on the rack said $19, but it was a 2012 calendar, so I thought maybe it would be on sale. The guy scanned it, and it was $25! Which seemed riduculous, but since there's no Home Depot or similar that's easy for me to get to to buy a linoleum remnant, it might end up being my best option. Annoying!
